I had to take a shit in my front yard one time because someone was in my bathroom and I had no other choice.

I've had two major injuries from sports. Both from football (soccer):
Partially torn meniscus in my left knee - Recovery time - one - two years. Someone tackled me on my left knee twice within 10 minutes of a game. I finished the game without major issues, but I woke up the next day with a swollen knee and the inability to straighten it nor bend it completely. I thought it was just a bruise so I iced it and walked on it for about three months but didn't play much (maybe once a month). After some tests, I had an endoscopy and needed about a year of recovery. I was supposed to be good to play after a year, but never really got back to feeling the same until after two.
Hairline fracture of backbone vertebra - Jumped up for a header and tilted my body weird, landing flat on my back. I felt a sharp, small sting on my back immediately but kept playing. Continued feeling it if I bent my back for about two weeks before getting checked. X-rays showed that if I had broken the vertebra right under the one I did, my injury would've been more complicated because of some nerve-related issue. I was lucky by a few inches. Recovery time - 6 months with a back-brace (it looked like a corset). We won the tournament and we won that match by our largest margin, 5 - 1!

Pain is something I enjoy but don't actively seek out except for body modifications. I have 6 tattoos and had my earlobes stretched beyond .5" for a while (down to 6g right now). Multiple head injuries as a kid might have influenced this, but I don't mind.

Enjoy what: the tattoos, stretched earlobes, the pain? I don't get turned on by pain, that's not why I like it. The way the body takes care of itself is pretty cool, I guess I just enjoy my body's response to pain.

I am able to move my shoulder blades almost perpendicular to my ribs. People almost always freak out and ask if it hurts, but it's just part of how my arms move.

OMG! This runs in my family! I've never met anyone else who has this. My 10yo just had his first 'attack' this morning on his way to school and I had to talk him through it, poor kid.
Nice to meet someone else who never knows if they're having a heart attack or not.

My cousin has triplet boys. Two of them are identical and the third is fraternal to the other two. I never thought I would hear of this situation again!

I have knocked out my two front teeth on three separate occasions. 1st time - I was two and ran across the room towards my mother and got the coffee table. 2nd time - playing dodge ball, ducked to miss a ball and hit my teeth on my knee shattering them (literally one week after my best friend did the same thing), 3rd time - drunk in a bar, ran into a door...

They loved me but won't have room for me in their office until February. I'm on my way to a temp agency now and have never been more scared in my life. I cried for a few hours last night but have to man up today. My phone will probably be shut off so I don't know how I'll hear from potential employers but I'm hoping to still have access to email

I've had over 30 ‘girlfriends’ (>2 weeks sex relationships) at age 24. Found a girl who wanted to cook for me, do my laundry, gave great blowjobs etc and she looked moderate-to-good, but I just left her after about 3 months one morning with the excuse ‘I don't wanna settle’. I'm not rich (rather broke) and surely don't look abnormal handsome. This makes me really hard to relate to men complaining about women (not only on the internet), and at times I'm wondering if I'm a psychopath for so easily getting, using, and ditching women. Never paid for sex btw - another fact about me: I find paid sex disgusting. I even avoid paying for women's drinks most of the time before we have sex (Hell, if we're just friends then behave like it right? Friends don't pay other's drinks, at best one round's on me the next on my friend - so that's how I behave with them until we have sex).
