Shocking stuff that's happened to you!!
So the other day I was reading the paper only to find that my childhood friend of many moons ago was being charged with having bomb making documents. Also there was a bomb attack on the courthouse where his trial was set to continue (coincidence? 
) noone was hurt thankfully

I used to go to the forum he frequented, and we talked on MSN every once in awhile. I remember him being an okay guy, nothing really remarkable other than his talent at rapping. I didn't think twice about it when he stopped signing on to MSN. But I came across his name randomly on Google, and looked him up to see what he was up to.
Turns out he murdered four people with a hammer in Virginia.
Needless to say, I was speechless. I still haven't fully wrapped my head around it.
Well, does accidentally walking out of the shower nude in front of three girls count? Yep. that's all I've got.
How the hell did you manage that?
Sigh.
I was at a sleepover. I had to go shower after doing sports outside. The bathroom is in the kitchen. I thought I had grabbed underwear but somehow in my haste I didn't. So after the shower, I had no choice but to run out of the bathroom and go get some underwear, while hoping no one was in the kitchen, since you can barely hear someone through the door. So I listened through the door, straining to hear a sound. I couldn't, so I walked out of the door hoping no one was out there. My luck was bad that day. The last thing I heard before running, shrieking, back into the bathroom was "Nice legs".
It's not really embarrassing to me as much as funny now though.
At least your story is funny rather than depressing :P
He's been caught out as the exhibitionist he is!
I didn't think it out very well at the time. And yeah, I was kind of trying to lighten it up a bit. Haha. I feel so bad for you guys. :O
I'm shocked for you pal. Also, awesome game
So, earlier, we noticed one of our cats was carrying something in his mouth. My husband thought it was a pack of ramen and got curious, so he went to ask him what it was. The cat, who was walking towards "his spot", tried very hard to hide the small bag while still walking, but failed.
He was carrying a small bag of cat treats my in-laws got us for Christmas, that he somehow had managed to get from the cupboard all across the apartment, and carried all the way, probably to enjoy before taking a nap.
We found it so cute that we ended up giving him a treat from that bag >.> But we put the rest on a higher shelf and made sure the door was well closed :P
This story made my manly heart go "awwwww" for a nanosecond. BUT NEVER AGAIN!
I'm still feeling the aftershocks...
I was trapped in a burning building a couple weeks ago...trapped by stupidity. We didn't smell nor see anything (nor was there a panicky commotion outside the halls) when the alarm went off so we assumed that it was just a random drill. After some "nice" prompting from a cop, we gracefully packed up our stuff and, as soon as we leave the room, caught a nice whiff of smoke in the hallway, realizing that those alarms were NOT put in just to annoy us while we're trying to get work done. Fun day.
Chile, I take it? Ouch.
Nothing in our apartment was damaged since the fire started on the ground floor and never made its way high enough. It did travel through the garbage chute so every floor of the staircase had black walls but as far as I know only garbage burned.
My cat was scared and hid under the bed though and that was very scary as I thought we wouldn't be able to get her, but I managed to grab her and run to the balcony. Well, and put a robe on at some point. (That was before we had our other cat from my earlier post).
Why were they there, anyway? With a DeLorean, no less?
Which wussy soccer? We play *actual* football: We play with a ball using the feet, unlike you which semantically don't make any sense (One of the mysteries of the humanity is why in the world you can call THAT football).
Anyhow, once, a car felt over me.
Ok, we were in my parents car in the way to a birthday party when a car slides in a road over our road and sandwich of cars. I was that shocked I forgot everything =P. The thing I know my sister was the first one to be rescued, but inmediatly was in risk of life and the firefighters got her and send her to the nearest hospital. My parents and I went to another hospital. They know me out because I was crying too much, and my dad was talking no sense, so my mom was the only one awake. She had no news about my sister, so, she didn't let the doctors attend her arm (Broken and I'm sure that painful) unless they bring my sister to her.
That's called a Mamma Bear.
They were doing a fundraiser for Micheal J Fox's Charity, and with a 25th back to the future reunion.
Ooh, fun.
Yeahhhhh...noone's gonna top this in a bazillion years
Ahem. Me and my family went to Wyoming for a family trip, and we were going white water rafting early in the morining, so we went to a donut store for breakfast(what sucked is they served lousy donuts so my breakfast was skittles and coke) and none other than Harrison Ford(guy who played indiana jones) came here and orderd a donut. When my mom said"guys its harrison ford!" i looked and only saw a wall, but a glimpse of him driving away in his(rather expensive) car. HAH.
But when living in Paris I met lots of French famous people. Actually I lived right next to a rich people's store where I saw at least one every time I went for groceries.
Ooh, I almost forgot (probably because it wasn't by chance) I also met John Oliver at the Daily Show, and Stephen Colbert at the Colbert Report (Stephen gave me the wristband he was wearing. Squeeeeeeeeee. I'm still wearing it, incidentally, and it's been a year and a half
I rescind my earlier /threadwin (sorry, Icedhope) and present it to you.
That's not shocking...that's AWESOME!
With this and the post about Christopher Lloyd earlier I pretty much had a nerdy little heart attack.
During the presedential elections, Bill Clinton came to the city I live in, and my dad got to serve as his bodyguard(which is funny because Bill CLinton was his least favorite pres.:D)BAM BEAT THATplease dont that is the last shocking hting that has happened to me.
:eek:!! That's just untouchable
I have a Bill Clinton story kinda, though it's nowhere as good as yours, I just wanna ashare
Bill Clinton's chopper landed in the football club across from where I landed and because its Northern Ireland they were afraid people would take him out so they had like snipers on the roof of the courthouse and stuff
(I personally cared less about that than the wristband but Will Smith is more famous, so...)
And that was a shock, actually, which doubly qualifies it for this thread. I didn't realise the guy was so nice and friendly.
(Okay, so he's not president, but that's all I got right now >.>)
Same here. The only thing to beat that is being in the twin towers top floor during 9-11 and surving with a video camera and posting it on youtube, but that would be scary.
Oh! once, someone got me a bootleg DVD of Finding Nemo, and the subtitles were swear words.
