Learning things the hard way

This thread has been derailed by people misreading my post, so I edited it

Via the hard way, you have learned the dangers of Ellipsis.

I have to repeatedly learn the hard way that fire burns and that my fleshy exterior is not as fireproof as I would like to believe.

I have also learned the hard way that Douglas Adams severely understated how difficult it is to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

You're such a klutz, Dak.

To be fair, none of these incidents happen on accident. They are just very poorly thought out plans.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Why do you try to kill yourself then? I would imagine Australia is already trying its hardest to do that.

I'm trying to become the Human Torch, not dead, obviously.

I have learned that same lesson. All up my arm, across my face, through my hair. I don't even know how long I spend in the tub, soaking and rubbing my skin with acetone.

Also, when a cookbook says "wear gloves when working with fresh jalapenos," they mean it. Not just in case you touch your face, but it burns your fingers through your skin.

plus if youre a guy, you should wash your hands BEFORE going to the bathroom good god never again

I also learned headbutting moving cars is not a good idea either.

How did I miss this post? omg man wtf are you doing headbutting cars? xD

Justy, I have heard so many similar tales. It's one thing I hope to avoid forever

I'm learning how to drive, and I learned the consequences of accidentally going through stop signs. Would definitely say it was learned the hard way.

I also learned that if I'm not consistent in potty training my puppy, she's going to poop up a storm in every room.

Yep.

Promise me that you will record it.

[Jiro]

Sure. I can do it.

Learning that the cooker does not cool down straight away after you've used it T^T

Ahh... this reminds me of my early-teens, gangster-rap phase.

Listening to my friend describe Snoop Doggy Dog's new car and then me shouting "DAT IS DA BOMB!"...whilst walking through an airport.

I learned the hard way that this is most ill-advised...

[choco-chocobo]

^ that is hilarious

And so i'm not off topic

Learning that not all dogs want to play, be stroked and ridden when you're a child and having your face bitten

[NorthernChaosGod]

Sure. I can do it.
