When someone says "How did you get that scar?"
 

"Oh, it was nothing..Voldemort tried to kill me as a baby."

You can add "Multiple times" on the end of that sentence for numerous scars ;D

win. (Y)

You win at life

what is with the harry potter obsession, its was rubbish ;)

Who the hell is Harry Potter? Voldemort tried to kill me.

Haha damn that Voldermort, he's always trying to get me!

Damn, wish I thought of that.
So much better than my "Battled with a rabid cat" excuse.

Tried to have sex with a hedgehog, and well er, didn't go down so well.

I find that no one believes me even when I tell the truth. I have a bottle of pills and someone wanted some painkillers, so I have them some from my bottle and they asked why I had so many. I told them it was just in case I ever just couldn't do it anymore and that I need the security that they bring knowing I can end it at any time. They laughed. I wasn't joking.

Anyway, sorry for that downer to a light hearted thread. I'll post something happier now. I tell people that Charlie bit me.

Best excuse ever.

I usually say I fell into a barbed wire fence..I'm klutzy so they believe me
either that or "well....uh...some bondage play that went horridly wrong.."
usually shuts them up XD

Good idea. :tongue2: No one has asked me about the scars now they're healed, but when they were new, I was asked a few times and I either didn't answer or blamed it on my cats:

(must have been an obvious lie, but people obviously found it easier to accept than to ask if my ''cat'' was actually a lion)

PS Choley: I like Russell Howard too: hes strangely cute and funny and has a sensitive view on the world. A great combination. :-)

Yes. Mine are always blamed on my cats but Voldemort is so much better (and obviously more realistic) :)

I reply

"your face"

then they don't ask any more questions.

Id just say
What the hell, are you kidding, you did that last year! *angry face*

Ok, so no, i wouldn't, but i didn't have a good real one...

I've given people elaborate, in depth explanations before. They didn't believe me.

"What scars? I don't have any scars? I don't know what you're talking about..."

Throw them into an existential crisis. Result!

This one time, at band camp...

ahaha, I love that xD

If someone asked me, I'd probably just quote the joker's 'wanna know how I got these scars?' speech.

THIS. THIS IS THE ONE I AM USING :thumbup::thumbup: hahaha

I actually did say this to a friend. And then was like no it was just the cat......it's erm vicious.

Haha!! I am defenitley gonna use that one.

This will be my new reply.

*spews mouthful of soda everywhere* -laughing so hard I can't breathe XD
I love that one ^_^

I'm so using the Voldemort line if I ever get asked.

.....


I'm still chuckling.

Nic. Marry me.

My personal favourite is 'I fell in a blender'. One guy believed this for about a month. Nice guy, but not the brightest penny.

Loved yours too Jo.

I've always liked "the clowns got me in my sleep".

"I'm sorry but the confidentiality agreement I've signed with the government prevents me from revealing that. I've already said too much."

'I forgot the safe word'

:laugh: HA
Depends who you say that to. Wouldn't want to see the look on my mothers face:tongue2:

or my grandparents lol

This always makes me feel better when ^ that happens.

hilarious thread, but why are we discussing scars in General?

last year around halloween I had several stitches in my arm. Someone asked why, as if it wasnt obvious, so I said I got carried away making my Sally costume (from nightmare before christmas) ... got me a laugh, high-five, and a few free shots of tequila (was at a devils night party)

Because I figured the word 'scar' wouldn't offend or trigger anyone (Although, you never know on this site) and because it's a lighthearted thread. :) Even if it is about scars.

"I used to work in a zoo," is my go to excuse.

Or, "I had unprotected sxx with a porcupine," which usually just earns a blank stare.

pure win

My mate asked me when she first met me..
'Aww Chels how'd you get those scars?'
'How'd I get my scars, I think the question is, how did you get yours?'
She got really confused because she doesn't have any.
That was my 'Secret agent' moment of my life ^^

lol!!!! love the different excuses

haha and love the government one!!
