The Random Anecdote Thread
 

This might be closed, or it might not (mods' discretion).

Anyway, I'm pretty sure this thread could prove useful to decrease the off-topicness that sometimes takes place in threads. Since I didn't find a similar topic in my search, I reckon this is suitable for all those "my dog just yelped 'aaow!' and it sounded like Michael Jackson!"-type posts that don't deserve their own threads. I thought about some members using this for "post-padding" but I can't see it being as bad as, let alone worse than, many of the threads in the "Forum Games" section. This isn't a "spam" thread, and posts shouldn't consist of "afa93jvmskff." Talk about something. haha

So, I've been having a problem with my neighbors. The problem? They suck. They're going through a divorce, and damn if they don't yell and scream at eachother at all hours in the morning... doesn't happen every night, or even every week, but it's ridiculous when it does happen. I'm trying to SLEEP at 4 AM, not listen to what is and isn't his/her's. On this issue, I'm far too passive, which is a problem. I'm planning on confronting them about this very soon.

Retitled the thread to better suit its purpose (and keep the most obvious post-mashing out of it).

Better title, and easier to search for. Thanks, man. :)

Anecdotes are supposed to be interesting or amusing...

So this is a thread to unload your stressed mind and tell a funny story at the same time? Alright, well I have a friend who in the 8th grade his friends dared him to eat some gum that was stuck to the bottom of a desk... an he did! :sick:
He said it was rock hard at first but then got chewie... He got 5 bucks for it though...

Note that there're only subjective definitions to those adjectives.

Ah, if your friend only knew how many diseases he could get from that... $5.00? Pales in comparison. haha

I know, he's done some other sick stuff too...

So one time in the the 8th grade, my friend (different friend this time) and I were walking to our lockers after school to get our stuff and we pasted this guy who was bent over at his locker and he had his pants pulled down really far trying to be all 'gangsta' and my friend stoped and tapped him on the shoulder and yelled "Did you forget to pull your pants up after you took a s---?!"

Wasn't eighth grade just last year?

Yeah, we live in a such asepticized enviroments that we've all become immuno-deficient. My grand-mother, concerned about my health, used to let me put dirty rocks in my mouth when I was a kid... :eek:

Eighth grade was two years ago.

Apologies, then. I couldn't resist doing the math.

It's all good. Here's sort of a funny joke I heard: How do you get a blonde out of a tree...
... You get her to wave her hands! :)
