"Wow" Moments
 

Yesterday night, or I guess I should say this morning, I got a craving for snackity type food. Not wanting to wake anyone else in the house, I made my way into town, which is about a half hour to an hour walk from my place. I got to the store without a hitch, grabbed a bag of chips, a cup of coffee and picked up some candy.

On my way back, I was surprised to see some teenagers walking down the highway - but I thought that they might be people I knew from school, or around town. After I caught up to them, however, I noticed something. I didn't know them - but that's not what I noticed. What I noticed was that they were dividing lines of Heroin on a cigarette box with a drivers license. Imunna say that again, just so you can see it from my point of view. At 2 in the morning, three teenagers were dividing lines of Heroin on a cigarette box on the side of the highway.

I walked by, and we exchanged "hello's," and I gave them some candy and we went out seperate ways. But for the rest of my walk home I was thinking "Wow..."

Anyone else got a "wow" moment?

You gave them candy?

wow...

My wow moment is reading your story, Seil. Seriously who the fuck thinks "oh a group of supicious looking high schoolers standing by a highway at 2 am... let's say hi to them!!!" and then upon finding out that they are heroin addicts, gives them fucking candy!!!

I've got one. Last year my German class had a field trip. After the main event of the trip, we stopped at a mall and and were allowed to divide up. Eventually in our aimless wanderings, two of the guys with us went to a video store, where they both purchased some hentai. They kept it hidden from the teacher in a bag for the trip home.

Yeah, they bought hentai during a high school field trip. Wow.

I didn't just go out of my way to walk by and say "Hey," they were in front of me and I had to walk by them.

I was in the break room at work and there were two girls talking about their problems with suicide.

I was like, "WTF!? What are you, fourteen, and already suicidal!?"

Seriously, they couldn't possibly have been older than 15, and looked like they were effing twelve. I hate our emo-infested society. :gonk:


Edit: That is to say, they were sharing their previous suicidal thoughts like it was the coolest thing since gunblades and blaster arms.

Well... at least with this, you're not as stupidly crazy as I originally thought sooo.... that's a plus :) (but it still doesn't explain the candy giving...)

Also I forgot to mention my own wow moment. If you have heard of the godforsaken phonetracer.org then you know my pain. So I was doing homework during my free period and all that good shit, when this guy that I know comes up to me and says "Hey John (that's my name) have you heard of phonetracer.org? It's this awesome program that's like Google Earth except it uses your phone number to track your house down." I called shenanigans and he showed me the site. So I put a phone number in (not mine, someone else's) and lo and behold a satellite image of a neighborhood was shown and I started thinking "Hey! This is pretty cool!" until... A HUGE ROTATING PENIS SHOWED UP ON MY SCREEN!!! That freaked the hell out of me and I closed the browser quickly (but not quickly enough...) and promptly punched the guy in the arm. But at the end of the day, all I could think was "Wow..."

oh yeah, just today, an old friend of mine tracked me down to NPF and PM'd me, saying he'd been looking for me for half a year and finally tracked me down to here.

That was a "wow" moment.

Wow or some Sting came on in the background and you get a phone call telling you what you're wearing looks pretty, but what you weren't wearing earlier looked better on you. :sweatdrop

I myself can't remember a "Wow" moment that I was involved in. However, in middle school, there was a kid made infamous because...he got caught masturbating during Detention...

Yes...let that sink in guys. He was in Detention (D-Hall, as the hip would say), and when the teacher walked out, most likely to smoke, he decided that instead of doing work, going to sleep, talking, or even listen to music, that he would masturbate and assume the teacher would never notice. The audacity of middle school students and their lack of common sense or ability to make rational decisions is bewildering.
