Poll: Ever been amazed at something you did... while you weren't paying attention?

[timmytom1]

Playing mimi-basketball a freind threw the ball as hard as he could i was actually playing on skate at the time i turned around and caught the ball i didn`t even think of how fast it was going (was a but of a blur)and just gave it him back ,before trying to beat that ridiculous rob drydek challenge

I in fact stopped a robbery at a clothes store by walking into the running away robber, i was thinking about my tea later, consisting of toast and marmalade, when he ran into me and we both fell down...I was then congratulated but the shop manager.

Playing Halo 3, slayer, top of the game, after a bottle of rum, whilst going into hour three of a drunken conversation with a friend. "Woah! I'm still playing!?"

I managed to sew my finger to a costume I was making, while watching TV and it weirdly diDn't hurt until I tried to extract myself.

Back when I was about 11 at school, I found this note on the playground. I picked it up and started reading it when this weird girl I know tried to swipe it out of my hands. Next thing I know, my right hand flies up, catches her fist, pulls her in and throws her onto the floor. Damn she flew. There was a good sort of Marvel film feel when I stared at her wide-eyed and just said to myself '...wow'

I won an online match of Street Fighter IV without looking at the screen (I was talking to my brother). That was a good day

 

[minarri]

I surprise myself all the time, though not in a good way. I'm really clumsy and it seems I have a penchant for running into things and otherwise stumbling over nothing.

The crowning moment was when I broke my foot while playing table tennis.

 

[Plinglebob]

If I'm zoned out, I suddenly become really good at sport.

Was playing Cricket at school and I was standing just to one side of the bowler hands at my side not really paying attention. Without moving, leaning or noticing, I brought my hand up really quickly at just the right hight for the ball to fly into my hand. Everyone was amazed I made the catch and I was really pleased with myself until my brain realised that doing something like that should REALLY F**KING HURT!! and I had so sit massaging my hand for 5 minutes after so it stopped hurting.

I knocked a teacup off the top shelf of my friend's cupboard and caught it with the same hand I knocked it off with without even thinking about it. It was awesome.

I guess I shall start, as that appears to be how everyone else does it.

What I just did inspired me to make this poll. I was trying to open a Lucozade while reading some posts in another forum and the cap had started coming off but only on the right side, so to remedy this I retraced my steps and twisted the cap back only to lock it in place... Now it is bloody useless, I can't open it as it is locked and I can't throw it away cos' its full!

I guess you could include things you did when no one else was around but you wish someone else saw, this is my second topic posted so be gentle. XD

You may have ditched the bottle of Lucozade by now, but if not try sticking a knife through the lid (carefully, of course) and then you can at least drink it.

As for me, I don't have one of my own, but I can tell you one of my brothers. We were playing this board game, one of those foreign ones based on skill and logic rather than luck, and we gotto the point where he was quite far behind me and I was on the verge of winning, in fact on my next turn would have won it. Suddenly, out of nowhere, he notices a move he can make, and he beat me! For once I didn't even mind losing, it was just so unexpected and me winning was almost a certainty.

I was writing on my story when my mother came back from the kitchen and asked a question. I answered and we talked for like fifteen seconds and when I looked back at the screen, I was still typing exactly what I meant to type o_o No typo's either

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

Not really.
I'm far too critical of myself.
Sometimes other people will comment, but I immediately point out every flaw I see.
And there is usually a lot.

O.K., this is going to sound unreal, but you know that game with a knife, where you stab between your fingers? Yeah, me and my freinds were playing with pencils (We're sissies), and I was doing BAD, but we got bored, and started talking about, I dunno' nerd stuff, but I was still fooling around with the pencil a bit. I went really slow and sped up, then I started talking to them and wasn't really keeping track anymore. My freind looked at me and just gawked, when I asked why, he just shrugged his chin at my hand. I was doing the stabbing thing, and acctually going pretty fast. But as soon as I looked, I lost focus and stabbed myself right in the vein. I bled for a while, but bragging rights were mine!

Thats impressive... you bet my high-score at that game... I got 1, well... I stabbed my hand straight away with the pencil (I too am part of the "EXTREME!!!") and the tip broke off... it is still inside me to this very day. XD

I still have my pencil tip too! I can see it!

How many more of us are out there... half-man, half-pencil... living a life we didnt choose, on the edges of society!

We should start a super team! We could save the world from... I don't know, people with a REALLY low tolerance of graphite?

But I dont have any super powers... although, no weaknesses either. So we are automatically better than super man!

Take that Clark Kent! Teh graphite squad is coming for you!!!

But wait... he wears glasses... he could be anyone!?! :O

And I wear glasses. Does that mean... OH NO!!!!!

Wait, I'm safe! I'm fairly certain I've got pencil in me from getting stabbed in grade school.

I had a sneaking suspicion that Super Man might be on Escapist Magazine... but you are one of us, the Outcast Men-cils or Women-cils so you clearly arent Super Man our sworn enemy... apparently!?!
See, what i did was I took the work Pencil and put and M at the beginning to make it half man and half pencil. XD

One time a family member tried to get into a fist fight with me, and without paying attention I had both of his wrists in my hands, and held them there. He was physically stronger than me, but somehow I managed to kick him in the chest and tell him I wouldn't fight family. After that, he never tried to get physical with me again.

I sorted out the Lucozade, but I opened it from the side... I WAS paying attention and it WAS stupid.

I was bored once, so I grabbed my DS for some online Tetris. Played a few matches with someone random. He was superior to me. I lost seven rounds in a row, and I finally got bored and started to zone out, thinking of all kinds of stuff.

When I came back to the real world, I noticed I was sitting on the can, with my DS still in hand. I lost that round and noticed the score: 54-13. I was completly confused, it only seemed like a minute! And outside was completly dark too.

 

[Julianking93]

I wasn't really paying any attention to something I was drawing one time and then I looked down and it turned out to be one of the best things I've ever drawn.

i used my ninja skills and caught a mosquito while i was walking.
