Hey Pandas, What Is The Worst Experience You Have Ever Had In Your Life? (Ended)

I'll leave out my chikdhood traumas of abuse even though that was the worst thing ever for this one that moght be more relatable.. I was 19 or 20. I went to shop at a Ralph's (a California store) at night. Thats not unusual to do, Ive done that many times. I was obviously alone minding my own business when I noticed these two guys watching me. Each aisle I went to they would stalk as well. I remember everything about them. Their hair, color clothes, how they wore their jeans. I dont think I will ever forget. Anyways, a guy coworker happened to be there with his daughter and I would occasionally bump into him in the aisles, you know how that happens, lol. So when these guys were stalking me I was trying to figure out how am I going to leave. They clearly want to do something when I go to my car. At night. In a semi lit lot. But I cant wander the store till closing. So I finally went to checkout and guess what? My guy coworker was checking out too! So I checked out hoping we would finish at the same time. I raced to catch up with him and he was being particularly goofy that night. Doing silly tricks on his cart with his daughter and being loud, it was hard for him to get serious. The 2 stalker guys followed at a distance outside, when I finally got my coworker friends attention (I'm practically yelling his name and I'm right next to him), the bad guys were behind me waiting to see what car I go to. I pointed to the guys and told my friend what has been happening and if he could help me load my stuff and stay till I'm driving away. He sees them, gets super serious. Tells his daughter to get in the car and lock the door. Then follows me to mine and helps me get going safely. I thank him and say I'll see him at work. As I drive away from the store front the stalker guys are still standing there, watching as I drive away. I to this day (15 years) I have not shopped at night.

I also have another one, which was probably the worst possible thing to happen to me in middle school. We got this new girl and she was in all my classes along with 2 of my friends. We were made as her buddies. On the first lunchtime, i found her walking around singing with tears in her eyes, I asked her what was wrong, she screamed at me and said 'NOT IN THE MOOD' i respected her and went away.

The next day she told everyone that i was her boyfriend and kept kissing me on the cheek. Whenever i told her to stop she would punch me in the nose. This was repetitive for about 6 months. I told my parents and we kept trying to tell the school but they wouldnt do anything. My parents thought that the school wasnt doing anything because i was antagonising her, which i definitely was NOT.

About a week after she started verbally abusing me and telling me that i hadnt 'matured' enough for her liking. At the same time, my core teacher was verbally abusing me everyday along with some other kids. Whenever a parent complained about the teacher, she would put them in the back row so while all this was happening with the girl there were about 6 of us in the back row.

About 2 weeks later, it was the sports carnival and after we were in the ceremony the girl took me to the bathroom so we could make out (her choice) i said no, then she took out a pocket knife and said i would die if i didnt. So i had my first kiss then and there in the GIRLS bathrooms.

Finally, the school listened to me and my parents and a few of us, the girl and the chaplain had a conversation, the chaplain basically told me that i was a wimp that couldnt stand up for myself and i should hit her back like a man would. I was torn between what to do so the next time she tried something,i hit her back and she started balling. I got sent to the principal and got a week suspension. I found this very unfair since she had NEVER gotten punished.

Eventually, she got a scholarship at another school (she was very smart) and left. I was RELIEVED. After that, however, the teachers gave me and a few of my other friends that she used to beat up another suspension because we didnt handle the situation properly.

Thats only a little bit that happened at my elementary school and middle school (they were next to eachother and were run the same). I am now at high school and have anxiety and did have depression from everything that had happened.

I watched my dad die from pancreatic cancer. He was such a big man and by the time the cancer was done with him he looked like a little bird. He was my hero and always larger than life to me and I knew it had to hurt him to have his daughter clean him up and hold him upright. A few years after he died my mom had surgery to remove a benign tumor from her head...as a result she went blind and had a mild stroke. I take care of her needs now but it's strange how life can change in a span of a few years. I had 2 healthy vibrant parents not too long ago.

Molested by stranger at 6, by my father 7-13, raped by my boyfriend and his 5 mates at 15, Again at ages 19, 22, and 25. But l think the worst was age 35 went to a (picnic) with a "friend" didn't see anything wrong ...until he bought out battery cables nd l thought it was a joke....it wasn't. Long story short 18 hrs torture being electrocuted, raped and sodomized with a variety of things. Finally escaped and crawled off the mountain, only to have a couple of of burly guys telling me not to report it as they knew l had a son. I didn't need telling twice so l didn't. Now lm 60 and find l still don't feel a part of society.

I didn't read any of them before posting this so it may have been posted already but my mum had appendix cancer so that was scary. Don't worry, she's fine now.

When there was a big fire near our house so we had to evacuate at 1:00 AM. We frantically got into the car and just drove around completely panicked.

Not going full term with a pregnancy.

Finding out I had a debilitating disease with no cure that would cause me extreme pain at random throughout the rest of my life. But honestly, finding out was the worst part... every good day I've had since seems like a gift and I appreciate each one more. :)

Trafficked as an infant (in America,) I ended up enduring 8 straight years of psychological torture and abuse, with a rare day here or there where I was temporarily "rescued" by a friend to go to a movie or some such.

Being molested by mom's boyfriend(s,) and having her call me a liar when I finally spoke up.

CONSTIPATION.

Not really the worst but one of them. My toxic "friends" in 4th and 5th grade harassed me for being a little chubby. I will never forget the things I had to go through and to this day I'm always extremely self-conscious because of them. :(

Dealing with any issue where I have to call Xfinity/Comcast. They've taken money from my bank account and made me wait to get it back and ever since I reported them to the BBB my internet hasn't worked right. And why do I still have them do you ask...because even though they said at the time I can get out of my home services contract without penalty, I also have cell service with them and they said that my cell price is based off my home services and I can't cancel that one. So if I cancel all home services my cell phone bill will increase by $100 a month. So I cancelled everything but the internet and they can't even get that right....smh

Once, I was a child. My grandmother was an alcoholic. My mother and my father divorced, so I lived with my grandmother and my mother. And many times, my grandmother was put in the hospital for drinking. She lied, she went up to the store, and she bought wine. One time, On Halloween, she crashed the car into our house and then went backwards and crashed into another neighbors fence. I thought she would die. I was really scared, but my grandmother lived. and now she knows not to drink again

I used to be horrible at swimming and I accidentally almost drowned my friend or something. I don't really remember because I was panicking but it was really traumatic especially since my friend was basically unconscious. After I got on to the shore I threw up and then told my dad to go rescue my friend

I sneezed so hard I banged my head on my desk and bit my tongue.

My parents got divorced when I was young so I've been living with my mom for some years. They had planned on me going to live with my dad in another city but not for a while. My mum and I were on holiday when Corona struck. Long story short, I'm with my dad now. It's hard being away from her and I still call her in the mornings but sometimes I jus explode and burst out crying because I miss her so much.

Not the worst thing but I was really excited for my first concert. I was going with my cousin and we really liked this band. It was a final breakup tour. We get there and we'd seen the warmup act and then the bassist comes on and says that the lead singer has lost his voice so I spent my first concert listening to a mosh pit sing.
