So I had a friend who did exactly this....cracked her ribs going carting with me in 1998. She was skipping school, so hid the cracked rib from her parents. Fear of parents was a big motivator in those days. Of course these things happened!

You couldn’t have chosen a better fragrance to represent white musk. Love noa

Gen x scared?

All I got to say is d.i.l.l.i.g.a.f.

I have a very similar story

She doesn't like the way we use ellipsis''? If you'd like, I could reach into my pocket, but I doubt I find any fucks in there to give.

1967 here,I Love my attitude problem.

True! We won't bite! (Unless you're asking for it)❤

i broke my ribs as a teen once. kinda did the same thing. didnt tell anyone. didnt have insurance at the time either so they probably wouldnt have taken me to the hospital unless i was... in worse shape.. gotta say it that way because youtube will delete it if i say it the right way. breaking your ribs is like getting a sunburn on the top of your head (bald guy problems) its an entirely different kind of pain than youre used to.

If Gen X loses social security and Medicare. The end result will not be pleasant.

The question coming from a generation who can barely spell dot dot dot

No one is afraid of you. 😂 Just saying.

Playing "smear the queer" during recess in Catholic elementary school. Basically one versus all rugby.

Let's see, my first concussion was in kindergarten when a girl pushed me off the playground and I landed on the concrete at the bottom of the fireman's pole. I once ran my bike into the side of a car when I was doing maybe 25mph(second concussion). I had to then get up and ride my bike home with the car following me so they could get my parents insurance information to fix the damage to the car. My brother once went a week with a BB lodged under the skin next to his temple because he didn't want to tell our parents we were playing army with really BB guns. Yeah Gen X was just built different.

You mean like the sad commercial?It's 10 o'clock.Do you know where your kids are or the other one?Have you giving your kids a hug today😂😂😂😂😂😂

Look, I was jumping out of second story windows to go out at night when my mom was sleeping. No, these people are just dumb because they never actually run outside and played. They were allowed to stay inside and cuddled. We messed up we should have treated them just like our parents treated us and then the snot knows brats that have become the younger generations would not be full of snot nosed brats, they would be full of productive members of society like us.

1974, so I'm towards the end of GenX. I was on a swing set in elementary school. It was made out of welded pipes and chain bought from the hardware store. The pipes were probably 20' long welded at an angle so easily 15' from the ground to the top. We moved to the new building in 6th grade, so I was 10. Trying to impress a girl I liked, I was swinging as hard as I could until I was almost even with the bar. On my way up, that moment of 'maximum dynamic pressure', one of the chains broke, and everything went into slow motion. I remember thinking, "I'm in the same position skydivers use. I can see the top of the fort (a 2 story wooden fort that was in front of me)". It seemed to last forever. Then time skipped. I don't remember falling at all... Just BAM! I was flat on my stomach lying in the mix of pea gravel, old mulch, and pine straw that falls from the trees in the playground. I hit so hard that it took me a few seconds to even breathe. I couldn't move. My head was to one side and I could only see the feet of a couple of people. All the playground noises continued for a few seconds then went silent in a wave expanding away from me. I was finally able to draw a breath, then 2, and yelled, "Help! Help!". The feet in front of me stood there for what seemed like an eternity before walking over and helping me get up. As I'm standing up, the teachers finally realize what happened and come running over and take me inside. Because I hit so perfectly flat, my only injury was a busted pinky nail. They made me finish out the day at school and didn't even call my parents! Before anyone says it, No body sued anyone back then. You couldn't afford a lawyer, the small Christian school didn't have any money to take, and judges would have laughed and told me to be more careful. Oh, and the school took the board off the chain that was left dangling, and left the rest of the swings in service.

Wow! So GENX wears little Disney crowns. HAHA I now know why yall cry so much, just a bunch of princesses yelling how they are gonna do this if dad doesn't get you a pony for your birthday. And yall wonder why yall are getting canceled off platforms.

I was walking on a wooden floor with socks on in the school assembly hall. I slipped, stepped back to find my footing and impaled my toe into a wooden splint. The splint was sticking right through my toe, from the bottom to the top of the nail. I showed my parents when they picked me up. They did not help or give me pain meds. Was awake the entire night through. The next morning my mom said Ok, you have suffered enough. She took me to casualties at the hospital she worked only after they dropped my siblings off at school. The baby boomers are F$$%k assholes.

with your love of safetyism & lack of nostalgia for the things of our youth I question whether you're even genX & not at least an xennial, kids today are robbed of free-range experiences

parent hostility: "whaddya cryin for? you want a reason to cry"? teacher hostility: "stay awake in my class next time" after hitting you with eraser peer hostility: where to fuckin start?!? you and everything about you was "gay" and that was not okay, punching games ("quit whining, fat dont hurt"), bullies in school were tolerated because they "toughened you up" environment hostility: cement and hardpack dirt playgrounds & bikes, skates, skateboards with no pads game hostility: red rover and duck duck goose

Facts😂 I remember the little white boys fkn each other up doing wrestling moves on each other. Once one of them hit another with a damn metal fold chair & another time one of them tried to bodyslam someone by jumping from the roof of their house😂😂 that's when I learned white boys were crazy🤷🏽‍♀️🤣😂 🤣

See-saws - a game that taught and encouraged cooperation. Miss you, Tammy.

I knew two guys that got killed fighting in the Hwy. It was Montana. But still it was the highway. Run over by a truck that could not stop on the ice in time. Both dead. It is like people do not know the 1980's were one of the most violent times in American history. (Look it up, The numbers do not lie.) I have scares all over my body from back then, Some from fighting but most from doing crazy ass dumb shit that was a LOT! of fun. Do not even get me started on the BB-gun fights. I still have one in my leg that the Doc said was to hard to get out. Or the kegs party's and running from the cops. The cops LOVED! casing after us and trying to run us down. Got a big scare on my leg from that, with some bone missing as well. (Note: If you jump out of a two story house. Try not to land on the concrete stairs that go down to the basement.) We were all Latchkey kids. We raised our selves. It WAS! Lord of the Flies. IRL Just the way we talked, back then, would make people now days lose their minds. Anyone that grew up in the 1970's and 1980's knows what I am talking about. IDK, I still think it was better back then. It is very hard to articulate to young people how and why. I lived in Seattle in the 1990's so that was OK as well, I enjoy the music and watching my friends live out the dream. But the truth is we were all just f%cking around and making fun of the main stream. Just like people make fun of the lame stream news today. We knew it was all BS, So we gave them Bull Shit. It was all just a inside joke and warning to Gen M. The Boomers were to big and GenX is so small. Half of DC is STILL Boomers, They are in their 80's for f%cks sake. They are going to take it all to their graves and never give it up. Anyhow I was at a show in a place called the Moore Theatre in 1995 ( I think) maybe 1994. It is getting a little fuzzy now days. Feels like a life time away now. Anyway a guy named Layne Staley and guys from Screaming Trees, Pearl Jam, and other bands sang a song called Long Gone Day. This is when I knew it would all soon change and come to a end. All we had to do is watch what Bill Gates and his type were doing. I do not think anyone now would even know what I am talking about or even like this kind of music. I think only GenX knows about this stuff. IDK, Maybe if we had something better than VHS to record on. None of the big music guys gave a fuck about this music. So they did not bother recording it as well. (Until they seen $$ in it) So much of it is lost and now only live in old people minds like myself. Anyhow it is all long gone days. I really do not care it they think it is the truth or not. I know the truth.

So the merri-go-round - fun story - i think it was 2nd grade? At school recess. That thing was PACKED. Kids were on it spinning it around, and you know how they sat, one leg out kicking on the ground. I fell off and somehow my head lodged right in the ditch where everyone's feet hung 🥴. So my head got brutally kicked by about thirty kids going full speed on the merri-go-round. 🫠

I had a friend in junior high (1988) who broke his wrist running from the cops. He couldn't tell his dad that, so he just dealt with it for 24 hours. He then told his dad he was going out to skateboard and came back in an hour holding his wrist and telling his dad that he fell. They went to the hospital, had it x-rayed, and it was broken. Spent 6 weeks in a cast. So yep, I believe that you probably cracked a rib.

How is this guy gen x?? He looks 23

What the F did i just watch 😮

😮😮😮😮

Oh shit!! How do I totally have the same story? We had this great tree at the end of our front porch. I was born 11/22/1977. I am from Chickasaw Alabama.

Ah yes, I'm glad younger generations can communicate better with their parents.

HA! You wanna give me what!?! Hehehe. That's amazing lol

LMAO 😂😂😂

😂😂💀💀

Agreed- adopt a Gen X friend today, cuz truth is, we know how to survive the zombie/Sci Fi world- ( me to my daughter, I taught you how to draw a map, make a compass, tell time with a stick/gnoman, sharpen a knife on a whet stone, make a turnaquet, and splint from masking tape but wait!! Ack, oh no, I forgot to teach to hot wire a car, motorcycle , boat.. soon sweet daughter soon)

🎉q😂🎉😮😅😅😮t🎉🎉😢🎉🎉🎉🎉😢😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😅

Yep. I think a lot of us had something like this. Ill never forget my gym teacher. I broke a bone in my arm. The dude litterly made me do push-ups. True story. He also reduced my grade because he thought i was slacking since i couldn't do them like before. He litterly told me this. There were other reasons too but shortly after that, i stopped acknowledging any injury. I got impailed when i was around 19. I went to work that evening. I did not go to the hospital. What was the point? They were just going to ask me to leave because i wasn't injured enough.

I remember hearing that animals could drink almost any water, however dirty, because they had functioning appendixes and tonsils - so I decided to kickstart mine by drinking out of mud puddles, some of them with a scum of oil on top. My dad caught me and scolded me. Then I explained my process, and he said, "Okay - but if you get sick and die, I don't expect to mourn." I have the most incredible immune system now. Back in 1989 my tour group was served water from Leningrad (which makes Mexican water seem like Fuji water). Everyone got sick as a dog except for me. I'm pretty proud of that.

He is not a gen x 😂😂😂😂

The only thing this guy ever fell on was a dick

i cal complete and utter BS. you fell off of a roof so about 15 feet or so "cracked or broke ribs" and you were so tough that you could convince your parents that you were fine. you got out of gym class because you "were sick" and slept on your face for "a few weeks". as someone who has broken ribs, actually broken ribs, they do not heal in 2 weeks and they are extremely painful. i broke 5,6,7,8 and tore the cartilage off the sternum and 30 years later they still pop every so often. secondly if you are from GEN-X your parents would have told you "to suck it up, it can't hurt that bad" because everyone I know and hung around with that is what our parents said. that is what my mom said when i showed her my ribs. thirdly you would have needed a doctors note to excuse you from gym class. what a faker trying to show how tough GEN-X was. notice I said was. they grew up and suddenly became softer than melting ice cream. they had their noses stuck to their phones and still are, propped their kids in front of the tv and put ipads in their hands to raise them, cancel everyone, hate everyone, have divided this country. wow what a great generation. y'all can thank your parents who didn't have to worry about going to war yeah those who were born between 1956-1974 for not understanding giving up of ones self for a greater good. their lives were so easy that they made your lives easier and you have done the same with your kids and so on and so forth. we shall see if the latest generation corrections the BS....

If you think THIS guy is rough around the edges you probably need therapy.

We don’t give a 💩 and frankly never will! 😂

…

Man oh man.. I UNDERSTAND THIS, you HAD to WALK IT OFF!!! When I look back at the WILD and EXTREMELY DANGEROUS( seemed like a good idea at the time) STUFF, that I did as a youthful Gen Xer, I often wonder HOW THE HELL I am still ALIVE or wasn't KIDNAPPED!!!! My house bordered a state park/forest and my friends and I had so many fun adventures, hiking through it! Lakes, Creeks full of critters! Wild life aplenty! That time my little brother sneakedly brought a gallon bucket full of frogs home and they escaped in the forbidden "company only" living room🤭🫣😆 My mom FREAKED OUT ( dad thought it was hilarious but not in front of mom😉) 🤣🤣🤣🤣! Our cloth green army surplus store backpacks were full of supplies,tools and my beloved metal army canteen. We'd be gone all day! I miss those times. Couldn't allow that sort of stuff nowadays. There is a different kind of danger lurking unfortunately. Damn😔.

Born in 1974. God that sounds like my childhood

Pokemon reference

I was always more terrified of my parents finding anything out than teachers or anyone else! It was called a "Healthy Fear" and yet I still loved my parents because I knew they loved me!

We were victims of baby boomer child abuse.

One of the best arguments against corporal punishment or severe verbal punishments that we used to get. Emotionally intelligent parents know to make their children comfortable enough to come and talk to them about anything. These are the same kinds of parents who get angry at their children for lying instead of asking themselves why their children feel like they have to lie.
