I am so terrified of bees, well especially now because when me and my brother were kids.. My brother thought it would be funny to p**s off bees, he found a beehive and decided it would be funny to throw rocks at it and run away. Just as he did I came walking and well he forgot to tell me to run and you can guess where it went, I had bees in my hair, my jacket basically everywhere.. I had no idea he did that until we both became adults and he finally confessed to me, I was convinced that I was just at the wrong time and place, but guess I have found out who caused me my phobia of bees 😂.Lucinnda reply
When I was in the restaurant business there was a waiter who used to prank people by pretending to drink a hot cup of coffee, then pretend to throw it in someone's face. The cup was empty, and it was looped to his finger with a thick rubber band, so it actually was kind of funny. The cup would come toward your face, and then bounce right back in his hand instead of hitting you. BUT OK so this other guy tried to do with with a weak skinny rubber band, which broke, and the ceramic mug hit me full force in the forehead. Had to go to the hospital for xrays, it was ok except for a bad headache for a day or two. So the ER trip would be covered by workers comp, we said the cup fell off a tray and hit me. That's when I learned that "horseplay" is a legal term.Lynxexe reply

My great grandfather got his chair pulled out from under him by his best friend at work on April Fool's Day. My great grandfather broke his neck and died, his friend never forgave himself. We never celebrated April Fools at my house, and everyone always thought it a prank when I explained...Equivalent-Hat-7600 reply

When my dad was a kid, he thought it would be fun to shoot open safety pins at stuff with a slingshot fashioned out of a rubber band. Eventually, he aimed at his older sister and she ended up with a safety pin stuck in her forehead. It's a good thing he didn't hit her in the eye.

Decades ago, a neighbour's brother was getting married and went out for his stag night with his friends. There was a tradition at the time of getting the stag really drunk and then doing something like stripping them, tying them to a lamp post and throwing flour/sugar/eggs/paint at them and leaving them like that for hours. The stag was absolutely terrified of this and was waiting for it to happen the whole night long. When they finally made a move to grab him he started to run. They gave chase. He ran into a chip shop, drunkenly leapt the counter, and fell right into a vat of boiling oil. The wedding had to be postponed, and he eventually got married on day release from hospital whilst covered in bandages. He required skin grafts and was left with permanent scarring and disabilities.

I heard this story around where I live where during a wedding, the groom was "abducted" as a prank by a bunch of friends, made extremely drunk and then had boots put on his feet that said friends then filled with construction foam. The foam hardened, sealing both of his feet inside so tightly that it cut off the blood flow, which ended with him needing to have both of his feet amputated.RonJeremyBellyButton reply
When I was in 8th grade, a buddy of mine and i decided to prank his little brother by making him think that the camper he loved to play in was on fire. We had a glass jar of gasoline and poured some gas near the camper on the ground and lit it to freak him out. We assumed he would grab the water hose to try to put it out. As you can probably guess, he didn't grab the hose. He of course grabbed the jar of gas and chucked it on the fire thinking it was water. Huge flames shot up and we truly did almost burn the camper down. Thankfully we knew to throw dirt on it along with water and got it out. His parents were PISSED!wtfisspacedicks reply
I used to do this trick with a butterfly knife when I was a dumb 13 year old, where I would flip it around like I was gonna open it but keep flipping to where it would be closed again and then thrust it at your face like I was going to stab you in the face. This one time I did it with this other kids plastic handled knife where the handles were a bit fatter and rounder than the normal brass handled ones and it didn't fit my hand quite as well as the knives I was used to. I did my twirly twirl and thrust with the knife but because the handles were fatter than normal I missed the catch and as I was thrusting towards the kids face the knife folded open. Stabbed that poor f****r right in the bone at the bottom of the eye socket/top of the cheek bone. Stabbed him good. There was a knife point hole there and It was leaking blood. Would have been worse if the blade had a proper point on it. I was a couple of mm away from taking out that guy's eye. Needless to say, neither the kid it happened to nor the people watching me thought it was anything less than deliberate. Never played my butterfly knife trick in anyone ever again.

Don't push someone head into a cake "randomly". By randomly I'm saying without knowing anything about the cake. Sometimes to make big cake pastry chief put big wood pointy thing in it so the cake doesn't fall. It can be VERY messy. Just assume every cake have theses in it.BatteryASAP reply
I remember my classmates and me wanted to prank our teacher who's like 57 years old, it's like a fake pregnancy prank that a girl in my class would do. We set up a fake pregnancy test on the bathroom bin while the girl tried to act all nervous, once the teacher entered the room, she goes out to the bathroom acting like she wanted to take a p**s. She waited for like 5 to 10 minutes, and when she came back, a girl "snitched" on her and brought the fake pregnancy test. He went to her actual boyfriend and punched him in the face until his node bleed. He went to the ER and got like a broken nose, black eyes. He got fired and we got suspended for the prank. Honestly one of the most stupidest thing I've ever participated in.

I was at a swimming pool with friends as a kid maybe 10 or 12 years old. We were in the deep end, and diving down to 12ft, picking up coins off the bottom of the pool. I was coming up from the bottom, and one of the kids thought it would be funny to hold me head underwater with his foot. I gasped as I broke the water, then got shoved back down and inhaled a s**tload of water, and panicked, and two other kids had to drag me out of the water onto the concrete where I coughed and vomited for what felt like 10 minutes.

This isn’t my story, but David Dobrik hit Jeff Whittek with an excavator. He was a part of his vlog crew and they were supposed to be filming a video where the excavator would swing them around. David ended up slamming Jeff into the side of the excavator after going too fast and then abruptly stopping. It broke lots of bones including his skull and caused lasting damage.Show All 14 Upvotes

An 18 inch pizza is more than two 12 inch pizzas. And to do the math, the surface area of a circle is pi x r squared. Pi is the constant. 18 in pizza has a 9 in radius, or r. 12 inch has 6. 9 squared is 81, 6 squared is 36. 36 x 2 is 72. 81 is greater than 72.

Irukandji jellyfish grow only to about 1 cubic cm in size, but have an incredibly painful sting. One symptom of the sting is a strong impending sense of doom. Victims have begged their doctor to be killed as they were certain they would die anyways.

A company called Warner Chappell Music collected licensing fees for use of the song “Happy Birthday to You” all the way until 2015. That’s why characters in movies often sing other songs like “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow” and restaurant chains often have their own birthday songs they sing to customers.
