Title: Most interesting experience you have had
Post by: flyingfisch on January 09, 2012, 11:40:43 am
Post the most interesting experience you have had.

Here's mine:

In august '11 I jammed my finger in a car jack and got the whole tip of it torn off. Had to go to the hospital to get a tetanus shot and to get it cleaned. It was Friday night and it had to be about the most interesting experience I had. There was a guy who got shot, but didnt want to file any charges, had no idea how he got shot, where he got shot or who shot him :D , a guy who got in a fight and had a different story every time he told it, and i guy on drugs. I got out at about 4AM. lol

BTW: I chatted on omnomirc with one hand anyway! :D

Just last Thursday, I got a pneumothorax, so they had to insert a tube in my thorax to evacuate the air out of where it shouldn't be. I immediately went to the hospital, then immediately got the operation. It was pretty fun though. Or else I was pretty crazy to find that fun.

No, I understand. Once they get you all set up to where you cant feel anything, hospitals are fun... until you get bored

well, when i was about 10 years old, a teacher told me to open a plastic bottle, containing paint. she gave me a cutter to do that (and i was only 10 years old xs).
I never handled something like that before, so i tried it, and the cutter ended between my thumb and finger. I had cut a wound of about 0.5 cm deep, half of the meat..
i couldn't move my thumb anymore, and the blood was shot in the air (about 1 cm) quite fascinating atm, since i didn't feel anything.

then we had to go to the hospital, to get it stitched and healed, everything's fine now, and i can move my thumb again :)

true, but then you feel the pain for all the time that passed without feeling it for hours..

another one, not painful or so, just funny (now)

when i was 4 years old, my parents started working on our house. They placed a new door, and therefor they had to cut a hole into the wall (quite logic, isn't it lol), and place new corner stones to make the border look straight, duh. but when it was nearly finished, they went to get the door, which stood in the garden, and while they were away, i took the hammer and smashed all the new corner stones, so they had to replace them all.. they weren't that happy with it, so they put me outside in the garden as punishment (it was mid winter then, about -10°C, 14°F, 263,15K) so it was quite cold).. i was tired, so i started sleeping on the ground, in the snow lol

atm it wasn't funny at all, they were really mad, but when you think of it now, it's just funny to see how they punished me xp

LOL, yeah. I remember when my younger brother was about 4 he would take his toy hammer and make dents in all the walls with it -- he was "fixing" the house, of course. :D My mom wasn't too happy about that either lol.

At least he got his mom's laptop and TV, but still it must suck when you are used to see your mom/bro everyday, then all of a sudden you are alone most days (although they come to visit when they can) for 1-2 weeks. Plus it can be hard to sleep sometimes.

My granddad visits me every day, my mom when she can, my bro once and DJ_O just visited me tonight, I guess it's pretty cool when people visits you everyday :) And I can tell you, DJ_O is pretty fun to talk to.
Title: Re: Most interesting experience you have had
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on January 10, 2012, 10:44:49 pm
Ah that's good to hear. Sometimes some people got people who visit them but they all work or have an hard time getting to the hospital due to transportation issues, thus, they usually come on weekends and such.

Also I would have liked to come this weekend, but I worked almost weekend evenings and had a lot of stuff to do monday, so I decided to come this evening after work.

Most interesting experience...
Well the one I can recall immediately was when I was studying abroad in China, and I took the "value" train from Beijing to Shanghai.
Oh man, that was brutal. 16 hours, standing room only, next to the bathrooms unfortunately, and the overhead vent, so everyone was smoking in my face.

yea... definitely an interesting experience


And yes, this is my first post in such a long time!
I should have some extra time this semester, so maybe I'll be around.
Title: Re: Most interesting experience you have had
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on January 11, 2012, 02:36:00 am
Wow that seems extreme, and I already found 1 and half an hour in a city bus, standing, very long. X.x

And nice to see you again Nitacku, you should post your music in the music showcase section when you have more (although I'm not much active anymore on the forums so I might take a while before seeing it). :D

Btw what happened to your Youtube videos? Even GTTM trance remix is gone from your account! O.O

Most interesting experience I had was when I got the double eye-lid surgery, pretty recently too.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Asian_blepharoplasty

And the funny thing is, I had to get the surgery done twice (once past summer and one actually few weeks ago) cuz the fold on my left eye unfolded itself during the fall :P

I found it pretty funny that my eyelid was cut but I was still able to open my eyes throughout the surgery due to administering only partial anesthesia on the eyelids :P

@Nitaku: Nitaku! Nice to see you again. I was just think about you the other day. I has "Loki stole my headphones" pop up on my mp3 player on random. How have you been? =)

@Jsj795:So this was purely a cosmetic procedure?
Title: Re: Most interesting experience you have had
Post by: BlakPilar on January 14, 2012, 01:51:33 am
Ooo, I found this after some minor board creeping.

My most interesting experience was when I was about six. I was at my cousins' house and one of them was going to show me how far he could hit a golf ball. He got everything set up and I started to walk up to him right as he swung the club back (I'm not sure why). I guess the club somehow pinched some skin on my chin pretty bad because I remember cupping my hands under my chin and constantly throwing handfuls of blood onto the ground. Then we went to the hospital and the doctor injected my chin with novocaine. After that I just remember asking him "When are you going to start?" and he told me he was done, and I went home.

Mine: Not interesting but...really a terror. The title of my story can be "Big Brother is watching  you".
PRC government built the Great Fire Wall and we Chinese is unable to use twitter. And I became a user of it for I use a VPN.
One day I posted some other's tweets about politics on my renren, which is like Facebook and I use my real name on it. After few hours they were deleted and after few days...
Police found me at my school, questioned me and demanded me not to use Twitter any more. My parents needed to go to the public security bureau...
That's all.

ouch.  That's a classic example of why giving out personal info can be bad.

I guess the most interesting experience I've ever had was this weird ride that spun around in an enclosed room for G-force, and then the floor dropped away.  Either that or when I was on an airplane riding through a storm, and we dived down so fast I felt momentarily weightless.  Terrifying at the time, awesome now that I look back on it.  ;)

Ouch that sucks x.x, don't wait if it starts getting infected though.

As for myself I never had broken bones or any problems related to bones, although I need to be careful when lifting stuff because my sternum goes inward and if I forced too much and in a wrong way, my sternum could perforate my lungs.
Title: Re: Most interesting experience you have had
Post by: Nick on January 29, 2012, 03:08:24 pm
wut, perforate? seems painful if that would happen xs i hope you never get it to happen..

me neither had something broken, but once i had to be operated because there was a vein 'exploded' under my toe, and it did hurt a lot..
then they had to cut a hole through the nail, and eventually remove it completely, which was kinda strange sight, but it grew back xs
