Realizing that “winning” doesn’t feel as good as I thought it would when my new acquaintance turns white and said he’s gonna be sick because I was telling him about the time that performed surgery on myself with a Leatherman, and unwittingly tried pulling my ingrown toenail out the side of my toe, and neglected how infected my toe looked a few weeks later, thus giving myself sepsis.
I’d gotten to the part in the story where an urgent care doctor, seeing me for something unrelated, looked at my multicolor toe and said, “that’s the most infected thing I’ve ever seen.”

One time my mom was telling on stories with a friend over (perhaps at my encouragement) and afterwards the friend, a social worker, was just like “I’m surprised yall are as well adjusted as you are” and it seemed like an odd reply to some old funny stories.

“What do you MEAN most parents don’t sleep in the same bed as their baby until they’re 35??? That’s crazy talk! Now strip your clothes, and get naked in this bed with me and my parents! I don’t turn 35 for 2 more years!”
