guilty, ended up hurting the other person Options

[xbr0kensmil3]

Well, i don't know if there was a topic on this already but if there was you can close it or if it's in the wrong place move it or whatever.

Well today at lunch we were playing around. I got this piece of reese's and smashed it all over my friend's eye as a joke. His eye started getting red and smaller and i felt really bad cuz i thought some peanut btter must have gotten in his eye. So he goes to the nurse and then the nurse calls me. Apperantely he could have died cuz he's allergic to peanut butter. But i didn't know and I felt so bad and guilty. I got inhouse which is in the office, it's a room where people who get in trouble or get kicked out of class go. I really didn't mean to hurt him, it was a joke. But now i feel really guilty and i just wished he would have told me he was allergic to peanut butter. Now he has to go to the hospital and it's all my fault.
And i definately learned my lesson to stop fooling around too much cuz it might hurt the other person.

But my question is: have you ever done something to someone that you thought was funny but it ended up hurting them?

I don't think I ever have.. eek, sorry to hear about your situation.

Horseplay hurts. <--My woodshop teacher's motto.

wow, that really sucks.....
I cant really think of a time I hurt someone just playing around.
But I probably have lol...but it wasnt anything serious like that.

Hm... my friends told me that my friend Kristen likes to go fishing with her dad. I was just pretending that I don't have no interest in fishing, when I really do. I was like "you like to fish with your dad? hahahaha I bet you caught a leg and it was your dad's leg" .... but I went too far actually.... -_-;; But then she starts to cry a lot. I asked her why she needed to cry from this stupid joke. And she told me that her dad passed away during a big storm while fishing with him. I felt so bad.... kinda regret that I was making fun of her

[xsweetxcandyx]

i really don't remember doing anything like that.... but yea.. it does suck

[xj_liana_tx]

wow, that seems like a mean joke, i would've been reallyi mad at you. hope your friend didn't take that as a big offense.
you've got to be more careful.
anywayas, yeah i've done similar things, but i can't really remember

[*krnxswat*]

You're stupid.
So you're saying you would have done it if he wasn't allergic to peanut butter? What the hell. You shouldn't have rubbed reeses in someone's eye in the first place, whether they are allergic or not.

[Just_Dream]

... krnxswat is right. You shouldn't have smashed something in your friend's eye just because it was "funny" or random or something, to you. Hopefully he's alright. You gotta think before you act. Non-tolerance! Tsk tsk tsk, using Reeses as a weapon!

Anyway, yea I've done things to my bf that I didn't think would hurt him haha but it does. I would poke him in the face where a zit was and yea.. he said it hurt like heck. There's other things but I can't remember lol.

[ZiggY]

cant really think bout one but i hope ur frnd feelz betta

[lovescream]

I do that a lot. I feel like a jerk. I feel like I cant ever do anything fun again!

[Saeglopur]

Thinking about it... other people are usually the ones hurting me.

[xTINAA]

why would you smash candy into your friend's eye? first off, it's the eye and secondly, it's just stupid. but i'm sorry to hear about your friend. i hope he's okay.

anyways, yeah that's happened to me before, but not as bad as yours or other people's stories. just really litte things

[weirdness]

whyd you smash a reeses in his eye...?
and its not a funny if it was a joke.
its retarded

[dani41790]

smashing reeses in a guys eye doesnt really seem much like a funny joke to me...

well umm i didnt exactly think it was funny though. last night i told my friend something and it ended up hurting him and it made wanna cry because i felt guilty and bad

[imafreakinazn]

yeah.
and it sucks.
cuz then i can never pull pranks.
:P

[henrydotcom]

many many times, i've hurt my brother because i was playing around and got out of hand.

a few times, it was pretty bad, and i got extra-yelled at
i guess i deserved it.

[whomps]

Uh, I can't remember but I know I have.. haha I regret a lot of things. Hmm.. I shall edit this post.

[xxruinedsoulxx]

not funny to me. if you smashed it on his hand, it would be okay as a joke. but the eye?! well i don't want to make you feel even guilty so i'll stop. lol
anyways, yeah it happens to me a lot. like when i hit someone on the arm as a joke, the i end up hurting them.

[misoshiru]

O_o...i would never smash candy in a friend's eye.


but anyways, i hope your friend gets better. and i guess this is a lesson for you huh. well, i've done things that have hurt ppl...mentally and emotionally but i've never gone so far.
