An 11-year-old boy’s classmate put a pencil, point up, on his chair as a prank. When the boy sat down the pencil impaled his left buttock, all the way in.

That is a reasonable reason to have one of those oddly specific phobias.

Check your seat three times before sitting on anything for the rest of your life.

I went to school with a girl who got a chair pulled out from underneath her as a kid, and it fucked up her tailbone for LIFE.

When I was a kid at lunch, one of my friends was being goofy and acting like he was looking through one of those tiny milk straws and the kid next to him, hit it with his hand into his eye (as a joke but not thinking) and he had to be rushed to the hospital and have surgery and almost lost his eye.

What happened to the culprit?

u/distracted_x Aug 06 '25
I honestly don't remember but I think he kinda freaked at the time and repeatedly apologized because he didn't actually mean to hurt him it was just stupid and he wasn't thinking. I don't remember if he got in trouble, probably did but this was many years ago.

Similar thing happened to me once. A friend put a pencil on my chair, intending to pull it away before I sat down, but I jumped into the chair. I didn't get impaled like this guy, but the pencil stuck good in my ass cheek and I ran around screaming "Pull it out!".
Good times.

There is some more information in the original post on the details of this case. Link and text copied below
This case is out of the United Arab Emirates:
An 11-year-old previously healthy boy arrived at the emergency department after a penetrating injury to the left buttock at his school. According to the patient and school staff, a classmate had placed a pencil upright on a chair as a prank, and the patient unknowingly sat on it, resulting in a penetrating wound to the left buttock.
Upon arrival at the emergency department, the patient was alert and hemodynamically stable. Vital signs showed a blood pressure of 115/78 mmHg, a pulse of 82 bpm, a temperature of 37°C, a respiratory rate of 24 breaths/minute, and an SpO₂ of 98%, all within normal limits. Physical examination revealed a puncture wound in the inferomedial aspect of the left gluteal region with no active bleeding or neurological or vascular compromise. The abdominal exam showed a soft, non-distended abdomen with normal bowel sounds. The digital rectal exam was delayed due to concerns for rectal involvement.
Laboratory tests at presentation showed a normal hemoglobin level of 12.7 g/dL (reference: 11.5-15.5 g/dL), a white blood cell count of 9.8×10⁹/L (reference: 5.0-13.0 ×10⁹/L), and a creatinine level of 0.47 mg/dL (reference: 0.52-0.69 mg/dL) (Table 1).
CT pelvis with contrast revealed an elongated hyperdense foreign object measuring 12.4 cm × 6.7 mm traversing the ischiorectal and ischioanal fossae, with the tip seeming to penetrate the posterior rectosigmoid bowel wall and lie intraluminally. There was no evidence of free fluid, air in the peritoneal cavity (pneumoperitoneum), or vascular injury. Coronal CT imaging showed an elongated foreign object penetrating from the gluteal region toward the posterior rectosigmoid wall (Figure 1). The sagittal CT view demonstrated the tip to be intraluminal in the rectosigmoid colon (Figure 2). In addition to standard CT scans, a 3D volume-rendered CT reconstruction was performed, which provided a clearer view of the course and depth of the foreign body in relation to the bony pelvis and soft tissue structures (Figure 3).
A multidisciplinary team involving pediatric surgery and gastroenterology recommended diagnostic laparoscopy and colonoscopy. The patient's father provided informed consent. Under general anesthesia, laparoscopy showed no signs of perforation, contamination of the peritoneum, or bowel contents spillage. Colonoscopy revealed intact mucosa across the rectosigmoid junction. The pencil was then carefully removed through the gluteal entry wound. No active bleeding was observed. The wound was cleaned and dressed in a regular gauze, and the abdomen was reinspected before port closure.
Postoperatively, the patient was kept on nil per oral (NPO) and started on intravenous piperacillin-tazobactam and metronidazole. On day two postoperatively, he began experiencing abdominal discomfort and mild hypotension (BP 90/50 mmHg). Inflammatory markers appeared elevated: CRP 211 mg/L (reference: <5 mg/L) and WBC count of 17.9×10⁹/L (reference: 5.0-13.0 ×10⁹/L). Abdominal ultrasound showed a retrorectal collection measuring approximately 16-20 mL with internal debris. Follow-up imaging later revealed the collection increased to 30.45 mL (6.5 × 2.5 × 3.46 cm) (Figure 4). As the child remained stable after adequate hydration, he was managed conservatively. The surgical team decided to observe the CRP trend, as procalcitonin was mildly elevated at 0.6 ng/mL (reference <0.5 ng/mL), and the child was responding well to antibiotics.
By day five postoperatively, the patient's abdominal symptoms had subsided. Oral intake was resumed, and the patient tolerated it well. A repeat ultrasound showed a reduction of the collection to 2.7 × 2.6 × 1.4 cm. He was discharged on oral antibiotics and paracetamol. During follow-up after one week of discharge, he was asymptomatic, and an ultrasound revealed complete resolution of the retrorectal collection. Complete wound healing was observed, with no signs of infection.

The shit fucker that stabbed me with a pencil didn't express any remorse. I doubt most of these kids do tbh.
In a sense, I don't blame them. Why stab / impale somebody if you're gonna regret it.

really don't have any kids, nieces or nephews huh? 6 year old's are the definition of letting intrusive thoughts win.
They usually have zero thought of the consequences of their actions. They often feel terrible for the results if they hurt or cause harm.

Yes but this isn't about a 6-year-old

Eleven is a young age, but most eleven years olds don’t try to impale their friends with pencils. He should naturally feel guilty and ashamed and never want to do something like that again.

u/ImrahilSwanPrince Aug 07 '25
As he should be! Why would you prank someone in a way that can hurt them?

u/PotentFrost Aug 06 '25
How tough is that pencil? Or is it, how weak is that 11 year old?

naw, there was a boy whose mom was a nurse. He jumped on the bed and a pencil there just struck him in such a right way that it went between his ribs and pierced like a ventricle.
They airlifted him out, he's fine. but pencils can do damage yo

LOL, wtf was that kid like 300lb that he just committed to sitting with no muscular recourse if things were to go awry?
2
u/ImrahilSwanPrince Aug 07 '25
Literally nobody sits ‘with muscular recourse if things were to go awry’. He sat down on the chair, probably quickly or forcefully because he was running in to class, tired, carrying a heavy school bag or simply sat down aggressively.

u/Neither-Attention940 Aug 06 '25
I’m confused.. wouldn’t someone have to be holding the pencil in order for it to stay up?.. wouldn’t that seem odd that someone is leaning over and has their hand on your chair?.. clearly the kid who sat down didn’t see the pencil but you think he would have seen the other kid! This is wild!

It's possible the chair had a hole in the bottom where the pencil could be stuck in and propped up and a "friend" stuck a pencil on his chair thinking he would see it or something and it would be no big deal and boom pencil up your ass cheek

u/1337k9 Aug 06 '25
Could be this same as this Reddit post, but… I heard through the grapevine of a schoolage child who was stabbed by a pencil in this same manner. The assaulting child moved the pencil in at the last moment, so it wouldn’t be possible to notice. The assaulting child also did it quickly, right near the final moment

I got my graphite implanted in third grade when I flopped down on a beanbag chair and the fucker next to me held a pencil out. Fortunately, it was at an angle and didn't penetrate too deeply before breaking, but there's still a chunk in there and the kid got away with it by claiming it was an accident.
He went on to get himself banned from HS graduation by showing his balls in the soccer team's yearbook photo. His parents had to buy new yearbooks for anyone who wanted a new copy with them airbrushed out.
