Un planned awesomeness....
 

So...ever have one of those issues that no one plans for but when they happen it kind of screws you? That was me today. I got home from work at 630 am this morning. On my way to bed I ended up subbing my baby toes on my left foot. Upon waking I had discovered that not only had I bruised them I had broken my two baby toes. No splint, no meds no nothing and I have to be at work for 10pm where I will be on my feet for the next 10 hours. So a painful night ahead of me!

Has anyone had one of these awesome moments in life that you didn't plan for?

i move right before i got a lung infection now i have to pay for doctor visits >x> i have no job so i cannot go X''D does that count?

Yes yes it sure does. That sucks man

One very stormy night, my phone slipped out of my pocket as I was getting out of my car. Tumbles to the soaking wet ground. Don't notice, go inside and now I cannot find my phone. I drive back to work to see if I left it there. In the process, I drive my tires over my phone. When I get back, I unwittingly parked my front left tire on top of my phone. It's now the weekend, so I cannot find my phone and calling it is not helping. Bummed, I order a new one. New one shows up at work, I go to get it, and once I'm back is when I find out about my poor poor phone.

Somehow by sheer luck, the softness of the ground meant that the tire just smushed it in to the ground, and also kept it from getting too wet. It worked, no cracks or anything, but now I was out $100+ on an insurance replacement.

Man Salone i have done that but me I was not so lucky I ran over it and broke it in half. Then I had one explode in my pocket

Oh man. Did it burn you? I had one do that under a pillow once.

That's terrifying D: having your pocket blow up?!

I hit my baby toe on the exercise bike and bruised it pretty bad. The nail is still black. :/

I have the HICCUPS. >_<

And when I get the hiccups, they last for hours, and after the first few minutes they REALLY REALLY start to hurt.

Coda, have you ever swallowed water upside down? That helps me. >__<

Nope. I didn't even notice until I pulled it out of my pocket to use it. The screen spider cracked from the middle outwards and when I took it in apparently it over heated bad enough to explode and fry. Lost all my contacts and pictures...everything.

Doesn't help me at all. It just gives me a headache and makes a mess. For the most part, nobody knows what to do about stopping hiccups; all of the folk remedies are just confirmation bias because hiccups usually go away on their own, so people think the last thing they tried is what fixed it.

What DOES help me is to drink soda. Not because it makes the hiccups go away, but because burping helps relieve the pain the hiccups caused.

uhhhh... maybe you should call out sick? o_______O

I think if your toes are broken you can get a doctor's note...

;_; My hiccups came back! *whimper* My chest hurts...

Chug water continuously?

I have a cure for hiccups that works every time, at least for me. Hold your breath, plug your nose, and swallow three times without opening your mouth.

dunno why, but it always works for me. Makes your ears pop too.

Yeah I can't afford to. So I'm currently at work right now...in a large amount if pain...but living lol

what do you mean you can't afford to? Do you not have sick pay?

The whole last month i had ear infection and my ear still feel weird.

sounds unpleasant! :c

Um...no. lol I don't. And I don't want to use my vacation days either do...yeah at work lol for an other hour now lol

I feel like paid sick leave should be a legal right.

it's ridiculous to think people could be forced to choose between working while sick or injured, or missing work.

I mean, that just sucks. :C

Yeah but what can you do. Rent and bills need paid so...I had no choice but it was my friday last night and now I have today and tomorrow off...woot

Wow, that sounds so scary! Who knew that your toes could break so easily! I have never broken any bones in my life and I hope that it stays that way!

I'm lucky in that I haven't broken any bones either. :>

I would go to work but tell my supervisor "Hey, like...I have two broken toes. Is there something I could do for my shift that doesn't involve standing?"

It never hurts to ask - though I'm very glad it's your weekend now! Let's hope your tootsies heal quickly!

lol well you see I havent broken anyting either. Sprained alot and hair fractured...but your toes are so fragile that everytime you stub them and they bruise 9 times out of 10 you broke your toe and just dont realize it.

Ireland: I dont have that option lol I am a cashier at a gas station lol so I cant sit im always moving

Bless you for doing that job that you do! <3 I'm sure you don't get enough thanks.

And in that case, I hope your tootsies heal super quick!!

... unexpectedly unemployed. This came utterly out of nowhere.

I suppose the biggest one thus far would be having your roommate's volatile brother move in for half a year with out paying rent. Even after he has a job, because your roommate expects you to be cool with this.

Got my first ticket for going over a red light. I'm more confused because the light was clearly green and I'm wondering if the traffic light was defective. It wasn't until I started driving pass the road and the other side of traffic began moving when I quickly figured out that I must had ran over a red light.

I wasn't distracted on the road nor was I on my phone. I was going to get my haircut at a barber shop that I knew was down the road because I passed it previously and drove around to get back to it because I knew exactly where it was.

I want to fight and explain to the court that the light was defective but I don't even know if I feel confident in my answer because I got a ticket.

I will still pay the ticket because I understand by the cop's point of view that he saw me go through a red light. But I'm still curious if the light can be checked to see if it was a defective light or not.

Here's some unplanned awesomeness for you.

Today a scruffy looking man comes in to my store, immediately turns to my desk, and offers me a small satchel. He says "This is a gift" and quickly exits the store.

The last time someone dropped off a surprise package with me, it turned in to a bomb scare. So naturally I'm a bit hesitant to open it. One of my coworkers, not so much.

Turns out it's a leatherbound bible. Leather tie cord and everything. Like if Indiana Jones became a Jehova Witness, this is the bible he would have.

Nice gift I suppose, hellaciously awkward. Then the matter goes in to weird territory.

Two hours later, get a call on the work phone. Someone asks "Have you read your bible?" and immediately hangs up before I can respond. Thoroughly wigs me out, and my wiggability is generally low.

So now I'm camping out on my boss' s couch, did not go home and I am debating on what to do with this thing. Hooray!

I wouldn't worry TOO terribly much. They only know where you work. They don't know your name, they don't know where you live, they don't know your phone number, and they don't seem to be the type to be coordinated enough to pull any sort of tricks to dig any of those things up. (That said, you did the right thing not going home -- means they didn't follow you there and find out where it is.) If you have any further trouble with this odd individual, contact the police via their non-emergency number; this kind of thing is understood well enough to have procedures for it. But I wouldn't expect to have any issues.

As for the bible itself, find someone who would appreciate the workmanship. That actually is a pretty nice gift for the right person.

Well they know my name if they looked at my shirt. I am very proud of my brand new name tag. And I did some very lonely backass driving before winding up over here. The only bad thing is that I wear a very bright and distinct yellow shirt for my job, so I stand out very easily at work or in the parking lot, and am always up against the windows.

Now that I think on it, there is a Lifeway christian store across the parking lot. I'll check with them tomorrow to see if he went in there at all.

I just discovered wizardworld comic con is in my city this year. And Matt Smith will be there. So I broke my rule about not spending money and am totally going. Bought my tickets. awesomeeee.

the weather's making me all manner of twitchy. Yay.

Only your first name, I would assume, though. And just your first name isn't enough to track you down.

I think Salone needs to just go with the flow. The guy gave you a cool bible, worst case scenario you don't want it and just give it to some preacher who would like it.
If the guy asks just say you gave it to a worker for god who would had appreciated it more then you or something like that.

You know those people who park OVER the sidewalk? One day I'm riding my bike around a turn and I'm going too fast to react. My front tire gets stuck in the space between the bumper and the car with a jolting stop. Instead of flipping over the handles I fly horizontally into the handle bars with my crotch.

Ow.

Ow ow.

I would rather have gone over the handlebars.

One time I was going down a hill and there was a small ditch at the bottom that was just the right size for my front wheel to not be able to clear, and I went over the handlebars... and, surprisingly, landed on my feet.

I don't know how I pulled that off.

Me too Coda. I was coughing and trying to get away before the owner of the vehicle saw me in case he/she was the kind of person to cause a scene.

haha you must've felt awesome afterwards!
