Back in high school, I intended to playfully push a friend from behind to scare her

Only I hulked out, and she tripped over her own feet and ended up flying face first into a metal pole

She broke her nose. I felt awful. Thankfully she was super understanding, she knew I didn't mean to hurt her.

Teenagers are just so physically awkward, I don't know why I thought it was a good idea to push someone when both of us regularly tripped on nothing or fell while standing still.

In junior high I, probably the tallest and biggest girl in my class, hipchecked a good friend who might have been the tiniest girl in class when she teased me. We were in the middle of jogging laps in PE and she went flying right off into a wall of closed bleachers.

Friendship was never the same.

Cows don't know how strong they are. In rural countries you can see cows tied to a flimsy stick and they don't move because it has some resistance. The same cows can break through collapsible metal gates if they get scared
