Title: Things people would never expect you to have done
Post by: garbon on March 25, 2009, 11:31:32 PM
A sort of mongeresque thread, but what is something you've done that seems out of character for you?

I'll start with: I once let a homeless man 'wash up' in my apartment.

Fair play.
How did the wife react to you helping her?

I've heard stories of the wife/girlfriend turning on the guy who tried to rescue her from the husband/boyfriend.

She yelled at me for being a brute, telling me how loving and sensitive her husband was.

I didn't bother to point out that she needed to go to hospital because of that dirt bag and just stormed off.

People like her deserve every single beating they get.

I won a religious scholarship to attend a Jewish summer camp when I was in grade 8, for excellence in religious studies.

The year I attended this camp, a councellor there infected everyone with a disease that the authorities thought was typhus. Everyone got sick except me and two other guys, and the camp was quaranteened. We were not alowed to leave and parents were not allowed in.

The disease turned out to be less serious than thought (a form of salmonella brought back from a trip to Africa, not the possibly fatal typhus).

I had a pretty good time, as I was more or less left to do what I wanted.
