Things you learned the Hard Way.

DanGerMus

Well one thing i learned the hard way was, when i was six and finally mastered going up kirbs on my bike and around the same time cycling with no hands, that you can't do them at the same time.
Ouch! i thought me pee pee was gonna fall off.

The first thing I learned the hard way, is when you jump over a garden wall to fetch a football, pay close attention to the SIZE of the dog turds in the garden.

Dog turds the size of pineapples on the grass, just might indicate a good sized beast, about as big as a Clydesdale.

The second thing I learned the hard way, is big dogs can move FAST

The third thing I learned the hard way is big dogs moving fast can bite and run at the same time.

I couldn't sit down for weeks, and I still bear the scars ... on my a$$

I still hate football.

At 12 I learned the hard way that if your cactus is falling off the windowsill, don't just grab it in your hand..............!

...that urine, due to its high salt content, is indeed a very good electrical conductor :eek:

If you are at just the right distance from the transformer, it can be quite a thrill ... stimulating even ... or so I'm told. :cool:

When you lick an ice cube, that comes straight from the fridge, your tongue will get stuck to it.

This happened to me as a kid, i ripped it off, along with half the skin of my tongue. Very bloody sore.

Some good was to come of it however, my family thought it was hilarious.:D

:eek::eek::eek:

Popped my knee cap playing rugby was told stop, went back popped it again but dislocated further and tore ligaments.

Then I stopped.


When I was younger I learned if your chain is rusty, change it... I pedalled it. It broke. I went over handlebars. Had to get a plaster on my forehead, we only had cartoon ones... I was 14.

Do you think I'd get much in a 'niche' market on ebay for it????????:)

Playing football with your brother right next to a wasps' nest is asking for trouble. That was aged 9, during USA 94. Think we were recreating the USA v Colombia game at the time. Maybe they were Colombian bees? You just don't know...

Neither does he any more.

Learned that when you want to stop on a moped you let go of the throttle before you hit the brake...also learned that helmets are useful and short's and t-shirt do not protect you from sliding along tarmac at 40 or 50 miles an hour

guinnessdrinker

Learned that if cycling a bike a night I should have used a light.

KBarry

I learnt not to throw stones at ducks after I picked up a stone and it squashed between my fingers, giving off a stink than made me retch. Yeah, it was dog poo.

Don't touch electrical fences out of curiousity when you're a kid. Don't piss outdoors in Canada when you're drunk and it's -30c

Quite a reasonable claim. I knew a guy from Cork who had one of such a size that they said seven seagulls could stand on it. Mind you, the last one had to stand on one leg.

An early lesson for me as a young lad was the truth in the warning that when falling out of a tree, the fall doesn't hurt a bit but the sudden stop at the bottom hurts like hell.

Low electric currents are intoxicating, as told to me through 9V batteries and touching a horse-fence with a blade of grass. Probably not good for you though.

When thirsty, don't grab the nearest jug of apple juice and drink straight from it.

It was cooking oil...

That cow tipping is just an urban legend and is sore as **** when they chase + hit you.

funk-you

Never weld after 'a couple' of drinks.

Never leave students alone near your DVD's at a party.

Never agree to anything in a meeting. ALWAYS get back to them.

Girls are f/cking nuts, especially actresses just before a show! ( I love you honey, really)

Never lend anyone a high end guitar for a gig.

People who break your stuff will rarely pay for it and most likely put it down and say nothing.

You can have just as much fun no matter how much you get paid, it's not always worth the bullsh't.

Never let your mates see your twiddly bits, it only leads to jealousy:pac:

Always look both ways. Went to race my cousin across a road, he stopped, I carried on not noticing a car coming (in my defence there was a lorry parked just beside me and I couldn't see down the road but my cousin saw and didn't tell me), bang knocked down by my godmother strangly enough. Was found unconcious after rolling about 100 yards down the road. Brought in put on the couch they all had a great chat, when I woke up they gave me a bar and told me to go back outside and play. Typical

Hellrazer

Dont rewire new sockets pissed and with the trip switch still on.

Dont cycle downhill on a steep slope with no brakes drunk.

Never hand feed baby Tarantulas--still have the bite marks.

Dont pick up Tarantulas without knowing if theyre calm or not--likewise still have the bite marks,only this one had half inch long fangs.

I learned how to spell learned and thumb.

Not to trust your boss with the taxes!! :eek: (he was sorry after i bet )

Not to actually try helping your boss to create a sucessful business or take too much interest in making their business a sucess (even when you have many, many more years experience) - she is currently learning to take more interest the hard way as customers are leaving in their droves,...

To apreciate all the good things in life coz it ends very quickly and suddenly lots of the time..:(

Naos

That just because to skid left I turn to my left and pull my left brake whilst on my bike, does not mean if I want to skid to my right I turn right and pull my right brake.

Over the handlebars/crossbar I went.

Women maybe nice on the outside but they're sheer evil on the inside.

Poo is not a good lubricant.

Never fiddle with anything you know nothing about...........so many things I've blown up.

Don't be too helpful. When I worked in a radio station that was just starting I helped about with training and recordings. They asked me for ideas for shows & jingles so I either gave them ideas or recorded them............only to be kicked out when the radio station got it's license and brought in some new management to make the station hip and cool. :mad:

Meh, live and learn.

B-gger that! I've learned to incorporate an element of truth into the big lies, makes them more believeable.

Jamey

I learned that it's not good to drink out of a can that you may think is yours at a house party when you've already had a good few. It may not be your can at all, but a can that several revellers have been using as an ashtray! yuck!
