I'm sure everyone has had a situation where you wish you didn't have to learn something the way you did.

Mine? When jumping off a roof, trampolines DO NOT bounce straight up and you WILL fall off the side and break your wrist.

Dear God. I'd rather die.


I felt the same way at the time. It was one of the most painful things I've ever experienced. I was afraid to drink anything.

I have plenty. My life is an interesting one.
Not to eat charcoal. I was fine, but i couldn't get the taste out of my mouth for ages. Or slap my friend's boyfriend for being a prick. Because he is. And he probably would've broken my neck this time if I did it again.
Do not put beads in your nose. Just don't. Don't do it. And I was 7.
Also, if there is a water drainage pipe, there's a good chance there are either snakes or spiderwebs or both in there and you should not go crawling through them during a dry spell. However, a few minutes after it rains, they're clean.
Do not attempt to juggle crayfish. I can not stress this enough. DON'T.
And, last for now: Do not throw tomatoes at people, there may be wasps in them.

Well the bead got stuck, and since i wasn't all that bright at age 7, i put pepper in my nose to try to sneeze it out. And that didn't work, it gave me a headache. Then I actally did sneeze, but the bead didn't come o ut. Finally, my sister [who was 5] got it out with a paperclip, after poking about a bazillion holes in the inside of my nose.
And the crayfish thing was a Very Bad Idea that occured to me randomly. Just take my word for it when I say don't juggle them.
You would'nt believe how much trouble I got in for throwing those tomatoes. My only consolation is that the guy deserved it.

I learned that you should not roll down hills because there might be a) anthills, b) all sorts of rusty sharp things, and c) bees on them.

Ok so I didn't think that a lesson was being taught in an appropriate manner and I said so. My teacher took me to the Principal's Office (4th time) and I had a great little talk with him (very nice guy) and so I didn't participate in said lesson. About a week later we got our reportcards, I looked at my mark and said, rather loudly I admit, "How did I ger 78%, I walked out on the only lesson that actually had any work!". I realized, when I heard my name yelled at me, that the teacher was right behind me. Once again I learned to look around and think before speaking.

I learned that diving in a pool that is less then 4 feet is a bad idea... the hard way. I didn't get knocked out, I just had a hard time getting up...

Make sure to look at your soda bottle before drinking outside because there might be a wasp on it, especially if you're allergic to it.
My GF discovered that and she's allergic to wasps. We made it to the hospital just in time... :O
