The guy who was JV behind me in wrestling my Senior year mouthed off to me in practice one time when he was dogging it and I told him to get his ass going, so we didn't have to run extra sprints. He simply told me to **** myself. I proceeded to make his life a living hell in practice and in study hall for the remainder of the year...teased the shit out of him in front of anyone. Or study hall teacher who had a reputation at our school for being a hard-ass, stickler prick even heard it... and let it go on, presumably because some of the shit I would come up with would make him visibly have a difficult time trying to keep himself from laughing...to the point where he'd find an excuse to leave the room.

Was just a total prick to these people. Pushed it wayyyy too far. It got to the point with the mouthy JV guy, where I created a freaking website that ranked and awarded the state of Iowa's wrestler with the best body voted by the cheerleaders...I made up a bunch of names and plugged him, our JV 152 pounder with horrible body acne as the winner. I wrote a blurb on there about how the winner (this guy) was to accept the award on TV at the state finals and would receive a Noxema photo shoot in Omaha, Nebraska. Then I showed him and congratulated him for it in study hall... This was 2001, so the thought that I actually knew how to create a website at that time probably didn't even cross his mind. This freaking guy took it seriously. So did his family. They made hotel reservations in Des Moines and everything. He was ecstatic about this "accomplishment." It wasn't until a couple days before state that his family caught on, via mentioning it to my head coach and my coach informing them that there was no such thing. So they cancelled everything.

All that shit was funny to me at the time...and kind of is when I don't think too deeply about it...however, a couple years after I graduated, I came to the conclusion that I was wrong and pushed things too far with him and I called him up out of the blue, Billy Madison style and apologized for being so mean in high school. I did this same thing with 1 other guy and my Spanish teacher...who I also teased the hell out of.

I remember getting my Spanish teacher suspended once because I let my friends tape signs that had offensive messages on them and in the middle of her lecture, I would get up to throw something away in the trash can near her desk. I did this like 15 times in one class period one day. Messages like, "my penis is infected with Herpes," "I masterbate 30 times a day," "Spanish class is like watching Spanish Fly-doused flies **** each other," "I have a throbbing, enlarged scrotum," etc. When she would notice these signs on my back, she would freak out and grab them off my back and throw them away, almost crying. The REAL shitty thing I did was when sent me to the principal's office. When I met with the principal guy to discuss the situation, I INSISTED that I had no idea that these guys were posting these signs on my back and that I was a victim of bullying (me, the captain of the wrestling team, the 3rd guy in school history to bench 200% of his weight...only 2nd guy that had all of his limbs to do that...being bullied...yeah right...this principal guy was either a gullible dumbass or didn't like my Spanish teacher). To seal the deal, I whipped up some fake crying and pleaded to him that I was so trauma-stricken by the daily bullying sessions I endured in her classroom that she allowed to take place, that I was contemplating dropping out of school. SHE got in trouble for it and was suspended for like 2 days. That's only one of many examples of the shenanigans I used to pull in Spanish class. Such...a....sarcastic.....clowned-out.....prick. And all because I didn't like a comment she made in front of the class about my 1st quarter Spanish project.

I apologized to her last year via Facebook message. These people accepted my Billy Madison-esque apologies, which makes me happy. I was wrong in how far I pushed shit with a couple of these people.

And I wasn't like this, big, buffoonish bully who went around picking at defenseless, nerdy, innocent targets at school...I was very nice to all of these people...people in genreral. Like I said, my targets were not the usual ones...just people that pissed me off somehow provoking me to lash at them....in which I continued to do so for wayyyy longer than necessary.

I was wrong in how I treated those people and feel bad about it to this day, so I guess the overall jokes are on me...?

I think you'll achieve a lot more happiness and bliss in life if you stop worrying what other people think. And you already seem pretty happy so just think how great that will be.

I have no problem admitting it, I'd rather do that than be the guy who doubles down on something wrong out of pride... thats a far worse look than simply being wrong about something.

I just noticed that... I questioned it after I posted it and googled the definition and found: 1.) the willingness to take bold risks and 2.) rude or disrespectful behavior; impudence.

Maybe a bit consistent with #1, but #2 is not consistent at all with the word I was looking for. I think the word I was looking for was, "decency." I don't know...your vocabulary seems better than mine, enlighten me.

No joke, when I thought of posters on here who are not avoidant of admitting they are wrong, you were literally the first poster who crossed my mind...I feel like I've read you do it on a few occasions.

Fine.

"Fortitude."

There you go.

Anybody remember the mint shamrock shakes that McDonald's comes out with in March? We had a soldier training in our control tower a couple of years ago that came up to work that March claiming they were selling pistachio shakes at McDonalds. When I told him they were mint and not pistachio, rather than admitting he saw a green shake and just made an assumption, he claimed, "Nope, I just had one yesterday. It's definitely pistachio." We bought some the next day for work. When he tasted that it was mint, he said, "Well, they must have just been serving pistachio shakes the other day."

That dude ****ing stuck to his guns about that lie the rest of the time I knew him.

I found out later he was being investigated for three rapes in three different states.
