    Got what I think was food poisoning for the first time recently.

    Was super busy that day and hadn't eaten much. Picked up food late from a place that I really like and was starving so could hardly wait to eat it. I get about 6 or 7 bites in and it tastes good/totally normal, but all of a sudden I have this weird feeling that I really don't want any more of this, and I just stop eating it. (I also have a huge appetite so that's extremely unlike me, and as mentioned, was really hungry, eating something I like) I go to bed, and wake up a couple hours later and it's just firing out both ends of me. Awful experience. Would not recommend.

    Anyway, the point of this story is that it's kinda crazy that you can be eating something, and your body's like "You're eating something you really shouldn't, and you should stop right now" before you even know anything is wrong.

    I had somebody told me I needed my ear crystals adjusted after I told them I have vertigo. I thought that were being a silly goose.

    I was in Green Bay once for work and got norovirus so I spent 36 hours shitting my brains out while simultaneously puking into the bath tub in a Residence Inn by Marriott.

    Happened to me one time, got some chinese food at a place I've had a million times. Tastes slightly off but I power through it because it doesn't taste bad just slightly different so I figured some sauces got mixed accidentally or something. bad decision. Haven't been able to bring myself to eat there ever again.

    Sounds like BS but it's true. There's a technique that you can do where you hang your head off the side of a bed and rotate it to help. It did help minimally for a while.

    I spent more time than I would like to admit looking for a combination lock that I haven't seen in over 8 years and am not entirely sure I even still possess.

    I solved the problem by ordering one for $5 off Amazon but am still slightly annoyed that I couldn't find it. Naturally, it will somehow turn up now that I'm not looking for it.

    My favorite is cleaning up and seeing something you haven't used for 8 years and you think "Well I guess I'll never use this again." Then 2 weeks later you need it.
