Looks like I missed the stream. I was the bomb threat submission person. And as I watched I was reminded of a few others things that could be in part two or three. Let me start by saying that I'm sorry if this upsets both you and Mykora. When I was in Second Grade I was playing at a friend's house with those sock em boppers gloves that were popular in the 90's. When we decided to stop we all sat down. I don't remember what prompted me to but when I looked down to find my friend's pet mouse under my knee. I was so horrified when I saw that its guts had come out of one end and I apologized over and over again both then and the following day when I learned that it had died. The guilt had stuck with me ever since. A lighter one: In Middle School during PE class I was stretching with some friends when I suddenly had the idea to lay on my stomach and pull my feet up to both sides of my head. Reason why is just because I was curious to see if I could and I got the idea from Malcolm in the middle.
Oh, I have a submission! But it's too long for Marshmallow so I'll leave it here: *Note, all names will be fictional for privacy's sake.* There was a time in high school where I thought one of my guy friends was coming out as gay and asking me to go on a date with him. Let me start from the beginning: I was a Junior during the pandemic and had recently gotten a new phone. There were a lot of people I hadn't been talking to, so I neglected transferring their contacts over at this time. One day, my older cousin comes for a quick visit, and shortly after he leaves I receive a text from an unsaved number telling me to stay safe during an oncoming storm. I reply, "Thanks. Stay safe too.", save the number as my cousin's, and go on about my day. Fast forward to the end of my Junior year and it is time to take THE test. Given that this final exam is state-regulated, we are required to be on campus for half a school day. We're placed in random classrooms, and I end up seeing a few old friends I hadn't kept up with. We have about an hour before the exam begins, and I receive a playful text from my cousin's number that says "I see you!" I look around, make eye contact with my guy friend, Max, and we nod at each other. At this point I realize my 30 year old cousin wasn't in the classroom with me about to take his Junior finals, so I revise the contact name. We text back and forth for a bit joking around, wish each other good luck, and then it's time to take the test. Students flood into the cafeteria, ready to go home after a grueling exam. I sit at a table with a few guy friends, a female friend, some acquaintances, and Max. He immediately starts up a conversation with, "It's been so long! Why didn't you ever text me or anything, man?" and we carry on a casual conversation until it's time to go home, promising to keep in touch. At home, I get the idea to text him and tell him that we should hang out sometime. Of note, I'm usually not a very social person, so the pandemic was actually a massive reprieve for me, but I decided to take this opportunity to try stepping out of my comfort zone after having had a lot of alone time to supercharge my social battery. Max responds, "Like a date?" Without hesitation, I jokingly say, in all caps, "YES", and see my message get hearted. He then reiterates, "Are you asking me out right now?" I freeze. Hoping that we're still joking, I say no and immediately watch as the heart on the "YES" message disappears. My dumbass instinctively replies "LOL" (again, in all caps) and sends it before realizing they were actually being serious. In a panic, I run to my mom who is in the other room and start asking for advice because the situation has me so flustered. As a straight guy, I have no idea how to let him down easy while still maintaining my friendship with him. Eventually, my mom comes up with the line, "I'm not gay, but if I was I would totally go out with you. Sorry." Reluctantly, I send it, and am immediately struck with, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN GAY!?!?!?? I'M A GIRL????????????? THIS IS MARY. WHO DO YOU HAVE MY NUMBER SAVED AS!?!?!??!?" So, this number wasn't my cousin's. And it wasn't Max's. It was Mary's; the other friend who had been in the classroom and at my lunch table, who I had not gotten the chance to talk to. I immediately get hit with a mixture of relief but also even worse guilt, and I start apologizing profusely. The conversation ends quickly after that and we never talked or saw each other again during our Senior year, when in-person classes were reinstated as mandatory. We only ever had a single class together and had exchanged contacts on a whim (although thinking back on it, she was the one who asked), but she never showed signs of wanting to push our relationship forward. Truthfully, I only ever saw her as an acquaintance, and I'm almost certain she had been in a relationship at the time so I never suspected a thing. Funnily enough, I never hung out or talked with Max that much after that day either, so he never had a clue that our relationship had been in jeopardy while I scrambled to let him down easy and stay friends with him lol. I look back at this experience now and laugh because of how stupid and dense I was (probably still am). But I still feel really REALLY bad for unknowingly playing with that girl's feelings, and I do hope she was able to move on quickly after that. I know I would have been destroyed if I was the one on the other side of things, so I do genuinely wish her the best. Hopefully the story wasn't too long. Thanks for reading !!

Honestly, bro was probably just selling whatever the euro equivalent of happy crack was, cause that sold like…actual crack when I was in school
