Stuff You'll Remember Forever

<< < (2/22) > >>

Cartilage Head:
Man I am so jealous.

Josefbugman:
I remember playing chess with a little boy on the ferry back from France. I was 9, I made up stories about the horses.

I also remember driving down a hill and seeing an old woman sweeping a step before looking at the car as it passed and I thought "I won't remember this in about five mins".

KvP:
I will never forget going out to the town reservoir out in the mountains with my best friend, and both of us saying goodbye without really saying it.

pwhodges:
When I first came across the phrase 'on purpose', I thought it meant 'by mistake'...

Mum: "Did you break that on purpose?"
Me:  "Yes, I broke it on purpose, mummy"

I learnt the right meaning very fast at that point...

Noff:

--- Quote from: mberan42 on 20 Feb 2009, 15:37 ---So I was watching Cash Cab this afternoon and a dude got the video bonus challenge wrong and lost his $900. The question was basically "in what [U.S.] state is [the amusement park] Cedar Point located?" He guessed Washington, when it is actually in Ohio. I sat back and thought "huh, that guy will remember that for the rest of his life."

Then I thought about the one question I got wrong and will remember forever: I was in the district spelling bee in 6th grade and got through a few rounds. I got up to the microphone for the 4th or 5th time and was told to spell "design". Except the guy pronounced it "DIE-sign" rather than "DEE-sign" (or "DUH-sign"). So I clearly spoke into the mic: "D-I-S-I-G-N" and was told to STFU & GTFO.

Because of that, I will forever remember how to spell design. What are some of the things you'll remember forever because of similar situations?

DISTRICT SPELLING BEE!

I think mine was in fourth grade, and for me the word was 'dealt.'  They didn't use the words in a sentence so I assumed D-E-L-T as in delta or deltoid.  I apparently knew a lot more about geometry and anatomy than card games.  My teacher told me that it was a "very disappointing finish."

Putting our dog to sleep when I was younger, just the way you could tell from looking at his eyes the instant he was gone, and the way his eyelids stayed open but you could close them with your hand like they show in so many movies.
