Overestimation at its Worst
The summer after senior year of high school, we had a hangout at a friend’s house as a celebration before we all went off to school. That night, the one girl I liked in high school showed up.
It was then decided that we should play hide and seek, but normal hide and seek is too boring, so we would play hide and seek in the dark. Well, we’re playing the game and I’m the seeker.
You see, there was this one door that some people were hiding behind (including the girl), and I decided to try and push it open. It did not budge at all, so I decided to push a little harder, just with my arms though. I wasn’t putting too much effort into the door because I did not know who or what was behind it.
Later I found out the reason it didn’t budge was because one of my buddies had propped a small trampoline against it. Well, after a few seconds it gives way rather easily. Game continues and ends.
Someone turned the lights on—and that’s when we saw the damage. I had broken the door by snapping it entirely out of its frame. I was even able to turn it in such a way that it twisted on its diagonal axis and one tip went straight into the dang ceiling and crumpled a big pipe.
That’s why it didn’t fall and make a noise, so no one noticed until the game was over. Afterwards I freak out a little because, you know, property damage, and also the one time I break something is the one time the girl I like decided to show up.
Also immediately after the lights turned on, the dude that propped up the trampoline decided to dip…before we called the host’s parents down.
Then we all try and fix the door while some of our friends are making cringey comments to the girl (saying stuff like “omg, lol at how strong he is, those powerful arms”). In the end, it all turned out fine and we still can laugh about it. Source: Reddit/Meteor_Smash
