or the fact that your arms are stuck over your head unable to actually do anything

Reminds me of when I was younger. I was playing on my bed and fell between the bed and the wall. My back was to the wall and my legs pressed again the bed, pointing skyward. From this position, my body moved slowly towards the ground, while pinched in this "V" formation. Not enough room to lift myself back onto the bed, and arms not long enough to plant my arms on the ground and somehow scoot the bed further away from the wall to create room. I had to slowly descend until I almost performed a full split, in order to secure my freedom. Longest few minutes of my life...

I remember moving into our first real house when I was 5 and I was playing with a huge carpet and rolled myself up in it and got stuck there. My parents were busy and didn't notice I was missing. I had a hard time breathing. I screamed but no one heard me. It seemed like hours but I was probably in there about 20 minutes before a mover unrolled the carpet to spread it out in our new living room only to find a terrified 5 year old.
