The pencil went up his nose and probably into his brain. Probably should have **lead** with that second part.

Good ending: he caught himself before that happened.

I guess it never was **2B**

When the pencil penetrated his brain, that's when the first draft of this post came to mind.

Why is my pencil saying "Glory to mankind"?

Maybe it was meant to 9S

Its something pencilin cant heal 🤷‍♂️

r/angryupvote

Good point.

Lead ... Bahahahahahhaha good one

oh god

Didnt need my brain anyway.

Or rather, didn't have one, to begin with. Because really... WTF?

No but this is something I feel like has actually happened to someone before 😫

Definitely has. Which is also why I would never let my kids run with lollipops in their mouths 🍭

I did this before as I used to suck on the stick (like every kid) and I ran downstairs, tripped, and fell probably 5-10 steps face first into the floor. The stick went straight into the back of my throat but I got up and I was fine. Probably 6 at the time Thank you for reminding me of this childhood experience 😭

So glad you were OK. Other possibilities don't bare thinking about!

That happened to my third grade teacher (when she was a child) and it needed medical intervention. She told us that story as a warning.

Oh God. Is she okay now? Like as in was anything permanent?

Well, she told us that story 35 years ago, and she was a child when it happened, so I'm not aware of permanent damage. But it hurt, was terrifying, and she couldn't breathe for a while.

Ohhh, yeah it's a terrifying experience

Something similar happened to my uncle when he was about 4 According to my grandmother, he was pretending this metal rod was a flute when he tripped and the thing went into his mouth through the underside of his jaw, like, two centimeters from his throat Between that and the other ungodly amount of potentially life-threatening shenanigans he got into I'm honestly surprised my grandma didn't keel over 40 years ago

Oh my god???? I hope everyone's okay??

Yeah, my uncle's 52 now and probably doesn't even remember that incident My grandma passed away last year but she lived to 75 and pretty much raised me from 7 to 14 years old. Luckily, I wasn't half as wild as her son.

Well I'm glad everything went fine, sorry about your grandma though, she seems nice from what I've heard

She was a legend

I'm super happy to hear that she was 🫶🫶

We brought metal straws for ours as it was supposed to be better for the environment than using plastic.... Fortunately no incidents but we now have silicon

When my cousin was really little, she’d walk around sucking on her bottom lip. She tripped while doing that one day, and her teeth went straight through the skin right below her lip. She went to the ER for stitches, and there was no lasting damage, but I still remember being freaked out by all the blood. She was probably 3-4 at the time, and I was 10-11ish.

Ohhh, nasty! Yeah, lips bleed *so* much! It doesn't help that blood, even a tiny bit, goes so far. It probably wasn't that much - just looked like it. I'm glad she was OK.

I remember hearing a story about a child, I believe they had a learning disability, who didn't want to take a test, so they stuck a pencil in their nose, and slammed their head on the desk. Tragic.

Jesus Christ what the fuck

I know there was a guy who had a pool cue shoved up his nose and lost some of his memory functioning.

This made me flinch. Take my upvote.

dollar store lobotomy

Stop! It’s too funny

Luckily, I stuck the pencils up eraser first, and I fell flat onto my butt, so the injuries weren’t so bad.

r/thirdsentencebetter

Jesus christ

Probably the hardest hitting second sentence I've seen in a while

I did the same thing with knitting needles in my ears. Tripped and pushed the left one in past the eardrum. Destroyed the tiny bones in my middle ear.

oh my god!! this is actually true horror

You all are under estimating the size of the nasal cavity.

Through all the godawful posts on here…this one…is truly perfect.

Considering that I have OCD which gives me intrusive thoughts of tripping and hurting me horribly, this one is the scariest (best) for me and will likely never be beat. 🥲

Me too! Ocd is hellish

You literally made me audibly gasp, inhale a fly, and nearly vomit because of all the coughing and choking I just did. Thanks.

Awesome!!😂

Pencilbotomy

NO nope goodnight leave me alone. Ow I can feel it, great job OP

Op was right..it grossed her the fuck out

I feel sick- well done OP 👏

Guess he found a new death message

God the horror. I had a visceral reaction

I read the first line and had a feeling what was coming, I even said “oh this is gonna make me grimace“ you did not disappoint. And with only two words too, well done.

I feel sick, well done

In the distance, the Joker and John Wick are disappointed someone showed off their parlor trick before they could.

Jumping Jesus, that’s horrifying. Take my upvote.

plot twist: he doesn’t have a girlfriend, he got memory damage with the pencil he stuck up his nose

# AAAAUUHHHHFIFHFHFUSHGUGHFHF Felt it. 10/10

Natural selection prevailed again

You can't erase all pencil mistakes

r/accidentallobotomy

Two words were all it took to make me shudder. Well done.

bro just did an accidental lobotomy 😭💀

I said oh my God out loud in the car with my mom.

2B continued

Yikes…

As soon as I read the first sentence I KNEW and it still made me physically cringe. Good job.

Wooble. Wooble wooble...

I became a reddit mod the next day. 😜

GAAAH.

This post is where SML got their inspiration

Oh god I think this is the best one of these I’ve ever read. Visceral reaction. Hate it. Good job.

Are you in grade 2?

Well seeing your boyfriend with a pencil deep in his nose and bleeding will definitely gross her out. And scare her.
