I also got RBG in trouble once!

I’m cry-laughing. If I ever become famous, I just have to try this!
This isn’t really a Hollywood one, but interesting enough. I’ll try to do this without doxxing so I won’t include dates.
Well, my mother especially was very authoritarian, so it stopped me from doing anything really awful!
Pride in Frankfurt, Germany in 2011. I had come out the previous fall and still wasn’t really accepted at home, and had never been to Pride before, because I lived at home in the summer otherwise and my mother didn’t allow me the car or etc. I would need to drive to the nearest Pride.
One silly story: When I was a senior in high school, circa late 2007, the school lunches SUCKED on Fridays. Think soggy fish or chicken sandwiches with anemic, bland, unsalted potatoes. At the same time, the cafeteria had raised prices for the snack items they also sold. My senior AP English viewed this as a form of…
The whole plane? Really? I should think most people bring earplugs. Anxiety gives me a real problem in super noisy environments (it’s an “overload” thing, and although I grew up with some abusive elements in my younger life, it was always very quiet at home and when we were in public. Unless I was getting reamed out,…
I used to go to an LA Fitness. Nice gym and all, now I have a home treadmill.
That sounds so perfectly Midwestern!
Was in kindergarten and my teacher had gone to Mexico and come back with all sorts of awesome stuff for the kids! This included a piñata so she decided we would have a party and play with it. Of course, giving five year olds bats and blindfolding them doesn’t go well, so she had to organize everyone so no one got hit!
I ate all sorts of things while being old enough to know better! This was because I became overweight (not obese, otherwise healthy), as a young teenager. Mom wouldn’t stand for that and cracked down on me. I would sneak, she would give less, I would sneak and binge more. It was a bad cycle.
I sometimes DO those deliveries. Fie unto you if you order bulk beverages! Fie, I say!
Also, whyyyy am I reading these things now? 101 degree fever and chills and I am alone for another hour and a half at home. Literally hiding under the covers with a cat.
Aww, I didn’t make the cut, but is there going to be an article with extra stories as well? Also I think Blood Ben writer went to my parents’ alma mater. I will have to ask them if anything weird occurred in their string of cheap communal houses.
Thanks, friend. And all of you! In a weird coincidence, I saved the family’s (non-pork) bacon almost ten years later to the day. They were flying into LAX right after the Muslim ban and were detained and questioned. I helped to get them out. I like to think we’re even, now.
I can’t believe I missed it this afternoon!
I don’t think this is what Jezebel intended for the contest, as it’s not scary. I briefly told this story in the comments of one of the contest pages a few years ago. Frankly, I don’t think about it much, as although it’s not the supernatural element that got to me at the time, it was a frightening experience and…
No date stories, but when is the scary stories contest? I told a bit of my story in another account I lost the password to, but...I’ve never discussed it all. Honestly it was quite awful.
I can’t afford the (crappy) insurance offered through work, or the plans on the state exchange, at least not ones that would allow me to actually get care. I have severe allergies (seasonal, common antibiotics, and god knows what else), asthma, and severe skin problems that all get worse with stress. I almost died…
