What is something you've done that most people haven't?

Ok, story time! I was young and stupid. I had just started archery classes, so my godparents bought me a small, but real, bow. To try it, I went to the nearby field, far enough(I thought so) not to endanger anybody, and started to shoot through some homemade targets. After a while I was bored, so my friend and I decided to try the old Northern Boat-Burial, by shooting in the air and try to hit our target.

So on the very first attempt, I aim quite high, and just as I release, I notice some... One thing we didn't know is that someone enjoyed doing their jogging session in that very field, which we thought was quite far from any civilization. So the arrow landed 20-something feet from that jogging-guy. As stupid as we were, we were still feeling extremely bad about what happened, but that guy... He went to grab the arrow, then without saying anything turned around and walked towards us. Then grabbed my brand-new bow, then my arrows/quiver. Then bent the fuck out of each arrows, and told me: If you want your bow back, you'll get it from the police department, with your parents. Then started jogging away with the bow in hands.

So after explaining the thing to my (really, really pissed-off) parents, we went to the police department.

First, the man told them it landed 2feet from him... Try arguing with the cops(whom thought we just almost killed someone) about that... And then after a good scold by both the policemen and my even-more-pissed-off parents a 2nd time(because they thought I lied to them about the arrow landing 20feet from the man), we got the bow back, and when I asked about the destruction of property the guy did with my brand-new arrows, the cops told me to forget about them, and that I was lucky not to go to a correction center... Then a few days later I had my next archery class, and when I got there, I learned that the guy had also called the archery club, and asked for me to get banned... which they did. So I never was able to use my bow again.

TL;DR : Almost shot an arrow through a passerby's head. Well, not really, but he thought so, and convinced everyone so.
