I was probably about seven and on vacation with my family and they weren&#39;t paying any attention to me and constantly interrupting me. They were talking about someone they knew who had cows so in annoyance I point in an arbitrary direction and yell &quot;hey a cow!&quot; and they all go silent then I hear my dad say &quot;oh my god your right&quot; just as the skinniest cow emerges from behind some foliage. 2. &quot;This is YellHound, and you&#39;re watching Disney Channel.&quot; In 5th grade, I didn&rsquo;t feel like running the mile in P.E. so I told the teacher I felt sick. She knew I was full of it but she let me go to the nurse anyway. I figured I&rsquo;d just lie down for the period and get sent back to class. Nurse took my temperature and it read 102, so school policy stated I had to be sent home. Got the rest of the day off to lie in bed and watch Disney Channel. 3. Rockin&#39; AcrolloPeed pulled the rare self-nicknaming off. I told some people at my college that my nickname was &ldquo;Rockin&rsquo; (FirstName).&rdquo; They put it in the registry and a bunch of staff started calling me that when I checked in to events or whatever, and so soon everyone called me that. I gave myself a nickname and it stuck. 4. Be the floutist you wish to see in the world, Ricky_RZ. I told my 9th grade music teacher that I played the flute. I was sitting in my first day of advanced music class, then I thought &quot;F*ck this shit, I&#39;m not gonna carry this big ass trombone around&quot;, so I said flute. Then I had to buy one (parents weren&#39;t happy about the uninformed swap to a brand new instrument) but I stuck through it and not only did I pass the course with a good grade, I ended up playing flute in a marching band for a few years. TL;DR: Lied about playing flute because the trombone is too big, it ended up working out 5. Good grief, Jernau_Morat. When I was 12 I had geography teacher I really really hated, even had the surname of Grief and lived up to it in it&#39;s entirety.

After being examined by the Dr he told me that I had am inflamed appendix and that it actually looked quite serious. I was as surprised as f*cking anybody and 6 hours later I was in hospital having it removed.

A real mathemetician should calculate the probability of AigleRouge117 being correct. when i was a kid and during math class i wasn&#39;t paying any attention since it was really basic math teaching and teacher ask me the answer, i just guessed a random little number, i guessed right and teacher congrats me, i felt guilty and instant tells i wasn&#39;t listening and just guesses, teacher look confused 8. May the Force be with HardlightCereal. &quot;Han Solo dies at the end!&quot; Right before seeing Episode 7 for the first time. My friends got mad at me after.  9. Long live the Three-eyed Raven, Makelevi. When he began reading A Song Of Ice And Fire my friend, knowing that the series was full of wild twists, used to just give out wild, fake spoilers to people. One of them that he repeated often was that Bran was a tree. 10. I hope klamajama got Doritos after surgery. Told my mother I had a sore throat to get out of going to school. Total lie. She caught me eating a bag of Doritos and was LIVID. Said she was gonna put me through the Dr visit she had already scheduled anyway. Throat culture came back positive for strep. Turns out I had some chronic thing and needed my tonsils removed. 11. im_a_creepy_cat&#39;s story is indeed creepy.
