I got a 2nd on the wisdom teeth ordeal. Mine hit me the next morning. Went through the procedure OK and was pretty much out of it the rest of that day. Slept until the next morning and when I got up I took the gauze out. The next thing I remember was my dad putting a cold washcloth on my head as I lay on the bathroom floor. Good times...

Last time I passed out I woke up with a princess next to me. When she woke up she thought I was a frog :( I never fainted but I think she did.

Never mess with your best friends niece. I still never hear the end of it to this day.

Oh, and I never fainted in my life.

I got close when I had a seizure caused by Wellbutrin. For the seizure, I lost consciousness and was convulsing on the floor for a few minutes. Afterwards, I got really dizzy and got close to passing out, if only because of the idea that my brain had decided to go completely nuts for a few minutes, and that if I'd been driving, I'd probably have been killed.

I donated blood and I passed out for about a second at the cookie/juice table. I fell half-way to the ground before regaining my consciousness. It's probably because I didn't listen to advice and eat and drink a lot before donating.

I remember feeling a bit sick and the next thing I know, Im waking up in the park ranger's office. He gave me some water and told me that I had fainted because of dyhydration. He said he found me passed out on the ground. He later went to find my father and my friend to come get me.

did your butt hurt?

A couple buddies and I did that in junior high. We just choked the other person. You had to cut off the blood flow and hold your breath. I would hear static and wake up a second later. Kinda stupid I know.
