got in trouble once for swearing in school. the teacher made me tell my parents i'd have detention the next day. i didn't tell my parents, didn't know how i'd get myself out of this pickle, removed up the next day to a few inches of snow on the ground (in march, in north carolina) and school was cancelled. teacher never brought it up, and apart from remembering it vividly, never suffered any consequences.

oh, and another time when i had just gotten my license and someone almost clipped into my front bumper on the interstate so i jerked the wheel and ended up doing almost a 540 at 70mph in 3 lanes of traffic. i jerked the wheel left like a dumbass to avoid getting hit, started to spin, jerked the wheel back to the right (continuing the dumbass trend), did a rotation and a quarter. didn't hit anything and landed facing the correct direction on the shoulder. what really surprised me was how little i actually had to jerk the wheel to make it lose traction.
