Stolen from Honda-Tech but it gave me many laughs.

What are some stupid things you believed in when you were younger.

1) ATM's gave out free money
2) Elves pulled sliding gate doors in the little motor box
3) I was blown away by Metrotowns projector thing in the old foodcourt (from the Metrotown thread lol)
4) Pads and tampons were for girls that couldn't hold their bladders.
5) When I picked up a broken smoke detector I freaked the shit out cause the back said it had radioactive material in it. I washed my hands so many times...
6) The word "STN" after the street on translink bus signs were some sort of hidden road busses could only go on.

I thought since my dad got snipped my parents couldnt have sex any longer. I got really mad and booted him in the nuts. He of course got mad as well and was like why did you do that?

When my Grandma took me everywhere on the bus and skytrain, I never needed a ticket. I always hid from any security or police hoping they wouldn't catch me for riding for free.

In elementary, I used to wonder why we had earthquake drills. I thought that if there was ever an earthquake, my parents would just come pick me up and go home. The thought never crossed my mind that the earthquake would affect the whole area, and not just be localized to the school itself.

Wow what a perfect photo to go with this thread. . .

SO anyway, when I was younger, I was in love with reboot, I actually still am. lol yeah, what-up? haha

Anyway, you know when they went on to commercial breaks and put up a huge sign on the TV with their icon, and said " Reboot will return after these messages! " ? Kay, so I would run up to the TV for as long as that icon was on the screen and repeatedly tap it twice, all while screaming in a commanding voice " REBOOT !!!". Yeah, my sister and dad didn't have the heart to tell me it wouldn't work. It was real fun trying to reboot though, I've always wanted to be something crazy, like a guardian with this "tool".

Short story long, I now call my penis "glitch". . . It does wonders, no "Megatron" has broke it.
LOL

REBOOT!!!

Great thread, brings back memories. :D

I thought gay people were very danger.I thought that if you were gay, you automatically had HIV. :lol My dad also taught me you would get it if you ever picked up someone's cigarette butt off the ground. I admit it stopped me from trying a cigarette all the way into my teens.

that cats really did have 9 lives and that they land on their feet all the time. :( I remember shoving a cat off the top of a fridge as a kid. It was pissed.

i was told when you accidently swallowed gum, it sticks to your intestines and you will dieI thought it was 7 years.

santa clause

carrots make improve your visionCarrots DO somewhat improve your night vision.

my mom called 911 on me when I was little, so I won't dick around...Years later, I found out I got trolled.omg my mom did that to me too! I was scared out of my mind.

I used to not want to dry my hands with washroom towel dispensers because I thought the towel simply looped back in and came back out and wasn't clean.+1 I always wondered how the machine managed to clean the linen so as it went back through the loop. :lol

Other things I used to think..

Vending machines would spit out food if you knew the secret combo that only adults knew.

The "popular" kids in elementary and highschool would be the most successful in life. After my 10 year highschool reunion.. boy was I wrong. :lol

BMW stood for "Be My Woman". (thanks to a retarded classmate in Gr3)

Stove top burners were only hot when they glowed. Burned my hand. ><

Cassettes you bought at the store (yeah I'm old) were full of songs taped off radio stations. I always wondered how they managed to cut the DJ's voice out of the beginning and ends of the song.

CDs stored the music on the top side where the label was, not the bottom. I got beaten on this one after telling my dad "It's okay, I only scratched the bottom" :lol

Girls were just guys with shrunken wangs. (okay, to a certain degree, this is true :))

Life Insurance was a way to create a ton of free money for your family. (this can be true but it's not the purpose of life insurance. ;))

The school kept crappy attendance lists when they repeatedly skipped my name during Hot Dog Days in kindergarten. Turns out I was the only one in class with cheap parents. :cry:

Animals "mated" by simply sleeping next to each other.

I'm sure I'll think of more as the day progresses. :D

[Grandmaster TSE]

NO WAI?!... what 3rd hole?!?

pee hole

[Shogun]

1. If you sneezed with your mouth closed, you would spontaneously combust and brain matter would come out of your ears instead

2. sex only required rubbing the penis against the outside of the vagina

3. bums on hastings were insects that reincarnated later into humans

yes i was a fucked up child :P

[slammer111]

NO WAI?!... what 3rd hole?!?The one that lets you do the girl without getting her pregnant. Oh wait, that's the 2nd hole. :lol

[q0192837465]

I mix up A's and Aids. I'd always say my mom want me to get "Aids"

I always thought there were little men inside the speaker talking and playing music when u turn the radio on

[crazyazn]

1) You automatically got AIDS if you were gay
2) If you swallow gum it stays inside you forever and just accumulates in your stomache
3) TV characters were fake...LOL

Hilarious, my friend thought the same thing.

I used to think the words to songs on the radio were run along the powerlines, like a record player the antenna on your car magically "read" the powerlines wirelessly. When we'd come to a stop and the song would keep playing I was like, WTF!? :confused:

[JordanLee]

i dont get it, how is the projector at metrotown a misconception?

I thought it used magical powers since the place was all rainbowy and trippy.

My grade 2 teacher told us that we were all smarter and faster than a calculator. To prove it she made the smart kid in the class pull out his calculator and she would say "Five times three" and we would yell "FIFTEEN!" and the kid 1 second later "Fifteen" and we were shocked to find humans faster than the machine. Only later did I realize that it's only cause it took him a second to type it in....we called the smart kid an idiot for such a long time...

- had to write a letter to santa in grade 3, i got a letter back saying he couldn't make it to my house because of the weather and shit. i was kinda sketchy with the santa idea, but if you get a letter signed by santa that means he really does exist right? wrong.
- that yellow light means 2 people can turn, which is incorrect. however, it's still happening everyday.
- i didn't know bad shit happened, all this war, drugs, corrupted cops. i use to run around playing cops and robbers here. being the bad guy was bad enough.
- i believed that automatic was better than standard, HAHA! HA!
- everytime you press the pedestrian button, the government got a dollar. so don't overpress it.
- good things happened to good people.
- all girls were nice.
- i thought dragonball z was real, here was me trying to practise kamehameha. i thought i never had a clear mind and my hands weren't properly placed.

That if I can't see something, it can't see me. So one time I tossed a blanket over myself and tried to sneak through the living room past my bedtime when a bunch of relatives were over. It didn't work :(

I secretly hoped Hogwarts would send me a letter. They didn't. Assholes.

there's a tonne more but I can't remember them. I never questioned stuff as I kid I just made up my own explinations in my head.

I thought Condo was a dirty word, mixed it up with Condom.

I did the same with the movie Tom and Huck (Tom Sawyer adaptation). So whenever I would talk about I said "Tom and that other guy" cause I thought Huck was a swear word :lol

Back in kindergarten, I thought mothers would get pregnant automatically after getting married. :facepalm:
