Our car burst a tire on the way to the indoor skydiving place. I haven’t been there since.
indoor skydiving place
Those exist?
It’s just a vertical wind tunnel with a net above a grate that you stand on. Once the airspeed reaches ~200km/h you can fall forward and you’ll be pushed upwards.
Oh that’s what it was. I thought maybe it was like a really tall building or something, like those ski slopes they have in Dubai because they don’t know where to put all their money.
yea, i’m not big fan, but those places surely have one. anyway, the fact that their tire burst on the way, kinda blows
These happened on different years but a really close friend died, one of my grandfathers died and my childhood dog died
The 9/11 suicide attacks. I didn’t know until a couple days later that a relative died during it.
Had to pay $200 for a covid test because my families insurance had just dropped me because I turned 24
In the US, the insurance should have continued until 26.
Are you sure your parents didn’t drop you and blame the insurance?
Edit: I’m assuming you’re in the US because of the lousy healthcare, but I suppose you could be in some other shithole country.
Yeah I live in US. It honestly could be my parents but thats what happened sadly
FYI this doesn’t apply to Tricare (military healthcare), it’s 21 in that case (with exceptions for full-time students).
Not as bad as others thankfully but mine is: the world shut down due to a global pandemic.
Damn, reading the comments here really puts things in perspective. I was gonna say something about getting a bunch of Rick and Morty stuff despite having no interest in Rick and Morty, but damn y’all
I got murdered
How are you communicating with everyone?
Ghost in the machine.
My 5th birthday. I had mumps, but my mother had already organised a birthday party for me, so I lay upstairs, confined to bed, listening to a roomful of other kids having fun downstairs.
This was a very long time ago, before children were routinely given the mumps vaccine.
I was born, and I took great offense at that.
My 16th birthday we were on a family vacation. I was upset that day cause I wanted to be with friends, my dad was pissed cause I was unhappy and didn’t even tell me happy birthday. Sounds like not that big of a deal but to teen me it was devastating
Nothing
Party was canceled because my grandpa died
I stood up to my then partner’s abuse. He told me I had no power and he would make sure I was left with nothing if I ever left him.
I knew if I cried he would use it against me and try to convince me I was crazy and emotional. He would do that so I would know my place. So I held my tears and bit my tongue.
30+ people invited, 1 showed, mother’s friend’s kid. (I was ~6-8), parents didn’t do birthday parties for me after that. Next birthday get together I had was @16 with 3 friends. I’m not an only child but it was just me in that situation.
I don’t know yet. It’s not until the 23rd.
