    When I was a kid I thought the word "pussy" was the funniest thing in the universe. Then one day my mom found out that I'd made a Sim City called "Pussyton" and she sat me down and explained what that word actually meant, and that was fucking terrible. She also forbid me from deleting the Pussyton save file until my dad got back from his military deployment so he could yell at me for it too. Pussyton was by far the greatest city I ever made in ANY Sim City game. It was a massively successful metropolis with virtually no crime and a gigantic economic output.

      In German a common insult is "wichser", meaning wanker, but when I first heard it, I mistook it for the German word for blender. So I called my brother and a choice of others blender for about 3 years....

    My childhood near death experience:
    I was like 7, practicing my ninja moves with a letter opener knife (as you do), started spinning around in circles to see if I could make a tornado. Eventually I decided I would spin until I fell naturally but I landed funny, my elbow bent, and I stabbed myself in the neck. Now, I certainly thought I was going to die, and my siblings screams as the blood started up didn't help, but after all the screaming and running around all I know is I got a bandaid and nothing more so I must have missed my jugular after all.
    There are 2 additional aspects to this story
    1. I remember I went into the bathroom and looked into the mirror, but I was holding my hand over the cut. I decided I wouldn't look because it might give me nightmares and to this day I regret it. Coward!
    2. While I was running around screaming I wiped some blood on my grandmother's curtains. Apparently no one ever found out because years later I checked and it was still there, which is how I know I didn't imagine this event.

      I nearly died a few times as a kid, but this is the story that sticks in my mind the most:
      I can't remember how old I was, but I may have been 11 (I cannot remember exactly)
      We were holidaying on Jersey, one of the UK Channel Islands, and my dad and brother thought it would be a good idea to try kayaking. I also wanted to see what it was like, so I 'boarded' one of the kayaks we hired.
      However, NOBODY told me that it is a very, very, very, VERY bad idea to strap yourself into any small water vessel, be it a boat or a canoe or kayak. So, in my child brain, I did not want to fall out. So I strapped myself in.
      I don't know how it happened, but the kayak capsized. All I remember is blurriness, struggling to breathe, and wondering why the Hell nobody was helping me out. I remember seeing the ocean bed (this was shallow water) and all my limbs were thrashing about, trying to get free.
      Somehow, I managed to escape and emerged, gasping for air and furious that nobody noticed that I nearly died. My knee was bleeding where I'd scraped the stony ocean floor, and that injury formed a scar which I still have today as a reminder to never f*ck with the ocean ever again.

      I never understood why some people are so much against swearing in front of children in general, though. Children need to learn that swearing is context sensitive, meaning that it's generally acceptable to swear in front of your family and friends, but not in public. This general striving to avoid swears altogether seems to be a pretty uniquely American / Anglosphere problem.

    When I was 6 my grandma sent me to the store to buy bread. At the cash register I see this peach-flavored candy and decide I want one. I have the whole wallet, I'm on a power trip. Except the cashier is horribly flustered, she won't sell me any, she keeps trying to figure out if that's even what I'm saying, and she ends up calling her manager.
    Reader, a few years later I would realize that it wasn't candy. Those were flavored condoms.

    Oh God. I actually had my phone do something similar. It was a Razr flip phone and it messaged this girl I knew again and again. It turned out the board had gotten condensation and it was repeatedly sending inputs that didn't exist. In this case, it kept sending her my phones background picture which was from Gradius, which is a space shooter. It did this 178 times before I realized something was wrong. Next day in class, she walks up to me and asks what the fuck was I doing. I show her the *new phone* I just got and didnt even get a word out before she remarked "Turn on your old phone." Which I did still have. It instantly started glitching and trying to send her pictures again but this time, no Sim card. Thankfully, she just laughed her ass off and didn't bring it up again. Amanda was a cool girl... and gayer than sunshine I learned shortly thereafter.

    When i was a kid my dad used to swear a lot while watching soccer. He never got mad at me for repeating the swear words, he was pretty chill about it. But one day i was curious and asked him what they meant, Spanish is our native language so he made some word puns to wrongly explain to me that those words were nothing bad and things from day to day life, i was like 5 so i didn't question it. Then when i started repeating the words in front of other adults and older cousins and they asked me if I knew what those words meant i told them the things my dad told me, which were mostly humorous puns, and they started laughing, dad was around and he started laughing uncontrollably too, after that he explained to me what the words actually meant and told me I probably shouldn't say them at school or in front of people who weren't family members.
    Now looking back it was a pretty funny situation and nobody was offended or harmed so I'm cool with it. It's funny tho because everyone said swear words at my house so when i was older at school i didn't swear as much as my classmates, i didn't have the urge to do so but i also wasn't offended by them, guess I got it out of my system.

    My favorite story to tell about my childhood was when I was around 10 or 12. Earlier in the year we had to get firewood. The chainsaw kicked back and almost took my Dad's right leg. He was fine but while he was in a cast and using crutches he and his friend, who lived in a trailer home in the mountains, walked down the dirt road while my sisters and I had to stay in the home. I was looking out the window down where they went and right after thinking "Maybe I should go out and hike a bit" I saw my dad trying to run across the road while being chased by a young black bear looney tunes style. I ran out the door just as he was screaming at his friend to get the gun. They ended up killing the bear and had to explain to the wildlife police that they had killed it in self defense. We ended eating the meat but it was so greasy that we had the shits for a week..... Today was his funeral and I am going to miss him.... I love you Dad. Rest in peace.

    The worst part about the texting story is that this was back when a lot of cell plans still had per-message fees for _receiving_ text messages as well as sending.
    Edit: there seems to be some confusion. This was how many monthly cell phone plans in the US worked, and I believe it was a holdover from the days when SMS was a _pager_ thing. The time period I'm thinking of was from whenever pagers started to be a thing up until the late 00's, at which point I know lots of people still had these plans in the US even if the companies weren't offering them as new plans. It was also the kind of thing that were a part of a lot of cell plans that many people didn't actually know about until the first time they went over their monthly amount and got slapped with an insane bill. So this might have been in one of your cell plans and you just never knew it. I also know that back in the day there were people who would seriously fuck someone else over by sending them an obscene amount of texts via email or a chat client that would talk to SMS to cost then a lot of money or at least max out their plan so they couldn't receive anymore for the rest of the month.

    Alright, here’s my “almost dying” story.
    When I was 10, my family had just moved to a new house next to a steep, grassy hill that led into a small field. One of my brothers found out that he could ride his bike down this hill, and tried to get me to do it. I, being a chicken, refused. But my mother, in her infinite wisdom, decided “ahh you can do it, be brave, put some hair on your chest,” and sent me down the hill. As I’m flying down this hill of tall grass, the front wheel of my bike turns suddenly and I just go flying. My bike lands in front of me, handlebar straight up. I hit the handlebar right in my belly button, and had it not been rubber-padded, I probably would have impaled myself. I also hit the ground elbow first, fracturing it pretty bad. I’m out for about two minutes and I just let out this awful wail of pain when I awaken.
    I did not go out again that summer.

    My near death experience was stupid and pretty uneventful really.
    As a kid I always got some form of stomach virus, food poisoning or some other crap at least once or twice a year. I dreaded those times because I hate throwing up. Everything about it is disgusting, I feel disgusting, I have no energy…It’s just the worst. Some time around 3rd or 4th grade I got sick again and I was puking all night long all the way until 5 AM. It was torturous. But I didn’t have to go to school so I laid in bed as waves of nausea came and went. I was so scared of throwing up again that I didn’t eat anything. I only drank water. After that sick day, I woke up the next day Kinda woozy. I didn’t move around at all the day before and I pretty much woke up walked out of my room, through the kitchen and onto the couch and couldn’t bring myself to get up because I was so weak. My mom let me stay home that day again. I still didn’t eat and I tried drinking more water but eventually I coughed that up too. That was also really unpleasant. So I just stopped drinking water at that point. I felt weak and lethargic for the rest of the week and my teacher got so concerned that she had my class send me a get well soon card after missing a week of school. At that point, my dad used his weekend to take me to the hospital to figure out why I was so weak and lethargic.
    Turns out, not eating for 5 days and not drinking for almost three days can kill you!I was given IV fluids and some bland crackers and I felt much better. But the nurse practitioner that saw me told my dad that he needed to make sure I was drinking and eating after being sick.
    So yeah, I accidentally almost killed myself via dehydration and starvation because I don’t like the feeling of throwing up.

    When I was a kid I didn't like dirty coins, so my genius solution was to clean them. By swishing them around in my mouth.
    So one day I find a very dirty quarter and pop that bad boy in and I accidentally swallowed. But I could like still feel it in the back of my mouth but I couldn't get it so I start to panic and run upstairs to my mom and was like 'mom there's a quarter in my throat' and she was like wtf let's go to the hospital.
    We get there and the nurse doesn't believe it is stuck since I'm standing right there looking fine and she says it'll pass thru my system. We go to leave and I'm still like 'theres a quarter in my throat' so my mom grabbed a security guard with a metal detector wand and had him wand my throat in front of the nurse and it beeps on my throat. The nurse was like oh shit let's get an x-ray, lo and behold there's a quarter stuck vertically in my throat, they don't want to try the heimlich in case it gets turned horizontal and I start choking to death.
    The doctors are all talking and the main idea is to cut my throat open and pull it out. Then another doctor pulls my mom aside and is like 'i can get it out in a minute' so she takes this tube and puts it up my nose and down my throat past the quarter, she pumps a balloon at the end of the tube and starts yanking it up. I spit it out and we got burger king.

      When I was young, I thought that the word deaf was pronounced as death. So when someone asked me to repeat myself or they misunderstood what I said, I would be a smart alec by responding “what are you, death?” Oddly enough, I was never corrected and I just figured out myself one day that I was not saying the word right. Lol.

      When I was around 3-4, I was obsessed with cars and trucks, so much so that every time we went to the supermarket, they had to buy me a new miniature Hot Wheels model. I would constantly shout from the shopping cart "I WANNA TRUCK" until they took a stop at the toy section. But there was just one problem though. For whatever reason I didn't pronounce the word "truck" with the t sound, but with an f instead. So what I would actually be shouting at the top of my lungs was "I WANNA FRUCK." People obviously thought I was trying to say something very different, and my family got a lot of awkward looks from everyone every time we went shopping.

      When I was really small my family had a landline, and they would always answer it with “hello, this is the [our last name] residence.” Well, when I was that small, I didn’t know that “residence” was a word. The only word I knew that sounded like that was “presidents”, because America. So I always raced to answer the phone ahead of my two older siblings and when I did win out, I would greet who or whatever was on the other end by saying “hello, [_] presidents.” And no one corrected me.
      Eventually we moved and didn’t get a new landline, and I was not allowed to answer my parents’ smartphones, so when I did find out I said it wrong, it was too late. Not that tragic, but still funny I guess.

      Agree 100%. I had my own intersection with animal husbandry and electric fences in my youth. Not quite so dramatic. Well, in its own way, maybe more so. There was a bull. And we threw walnuts at the bull, and ran back to the safety of the fence line as fast as we could, and there were butting sheep on another part of the farm, but, whatever the case, the trick was to get through/between the two wires without getting zapped and before the bull/sheep got there. Not as much voltage, but probably more scars and latent traumatic brain injury.

    When I was about 3-4 year old we lived on a farm, we had tons of sheep!
    Well during slaughter season, we were in the sheep pen (it's a large building), it has a false floor made out of wood planks, so that poop falls down, well, during slaughter procedures, a grate is taken off so that the slaughtered sheep organs can be thrown down there (itz ORGANIC).... Anyway, somehow i ofcourse fall down the friggin pit into a 1.5 meter thick layer of literally shit and a ton of sheep internal organs.....
    Well, seconds later, grandpa had a rope end thrown down to me and me being in extreme panic mode just grabbed it so hard that i was lifted out.
    Then the washening started, i was covered in shit, organs, blood, and bile. I got sprayed off at the barn, then taken home and bathed like 4-5 times.
    The day after, i got dropped off at a nanny without her being told what happened, when I was being picked up, my mom was told there was some strange smell off me 🤣
