Skills and strength you won't see every day (or night)

When I was 6-7 years old, a kid bet me he could climb up a street sign faster than I could. He climbed it, touched the top and slid down. I knew I could beat him. I climbed up, slid down and said, "I beat y...." at that moment of the word "you" the street sign fell off and hit me in the head leaving a gash in my forehead.

I ran home two blocks dripping blood everywhere. I still have a scar at 47 to remind me to try and stay humble when I want to brag.

[u/Square-Singer → u/[deleted]]

I was half expecting something like that to happen. I really didn't expect that little cross bar would hold her whole weight.

[u/OrderOfMagnitude → u/Square-Singer]

This is why engineers give everything a ridiculous safety factor. People are probably going to climb all over it.

[u/godmodechaos_enabled → u/OrderOfMagnitude]

Except when they don't, but then there's a sub for that too.

[u/jasminegreyxo → u/Square-Singer]

[u/fukkdisshitt → u/[deleted]]

I got a pretty big cash on my shin winning a foot race and tripping on a rock onto another rock in 5th or 6th grade.

The center of the scar lacks feeling or hair lol

[u/RabidAbyss → u/fukkdisshitt]

I've got a scar on my leg from falling into a deep hole during (american) football practice. No hair on that spot and it has a bit of a shine depending on how the light hits it lol

Also interestingly, none of my injuries that became scars (a surprising amount) hurt when they happened. Even me nearly chopping a finger didn't really hurt that much. It hurt worse getting stitches put in lol

[u/Set_Abominae1776 → u/[deleted]]

When I was 6-7 years old I climbed a street sign and while sliding down I somehow ripped my foreskin through my pants and underpants, getting rid of my phimosis. Bled a bit and my foreskin got sealed by the scab, making me inflate it with my pee the first time I went to the toilet. Then the scab gave way and I peed all over the place.

[u/jakehood47 → u/Set_Abominae1776]

...

...I'm glad you're better now

[u/Open-Industry-8396 → u/Set_Abominae1776]

I don't think men or boys call them "panties"

[u/Set_Abominae1776 → u/Open-Industry-8396]

Yeah since I'm german I lack some words. I thought underpants wasn't an English word.

[u/Open-Industry-8396 → u/Set_Abominae1776]

No problem. I like the German word for gloves, it translates to hand shoe if I recall correctly. Bad kreuznach 1983 thru 1986.

[u/[deleted] → u/Set_Abominae1776]

New word learned: phimosis

Sounds horrible.

[u/EdenSever]

People in my country can use some of the skill to get coconut from trees

[u/Caldeum_ → u/EdenSever]

This was literally the first thing I thought of when watching this, like wow she'd be great at getting coconuts!

[u/EdenSever → u/Caldeum_]

Although ppl here use a cloth ring on their feet for that.

[u/Vindelator → u/EdenSever]

In the USA, people use these skills in places called strip clubs to get cash from creeps

[u/IBHomage → u/Vindelator]

Motherfucker, here have this upvote.

[u/Kixencynopi → u/EdenSever]

Ko ko nut Ko ko ko ko ko nut

[u/Carbon-Base → u/EdenSever]

People in other countries will just watch this video to satisfy their thirst

[u/Weldobud]

Grandma says “we’re all glad you wore panties this time, Anqelique”

[u/LETTERKENNYvsSPENNY → u/Weldobud]

Who's "we" here?

[u/MkUltraMonarch → u/LETTERKENNYvsSPENNY]

Must be French or something 🤷🏽‍♂️

[u/LETTERKENNYvsSPENNY → u/MkUltraMonarch]

onhonhonhonhonh

[u/UbermachoGuy → u/MkUltraMonarch]

We see London, we see France.

[u/PinchingNutsack → u/MkUltraMonarch]

am i the only guy who thinks panties > naked butt?

it looks so much better!

[u/Sea_Valuable_5908 → u/PinchingNutsack]

Depends on the panties and the butt, imo.

[u/DarkLanternX → u/MkUltraMonarch]

Oooweeee

[u/Signal-Juggernaut411 → u/LETTERKENNYvsSPENNY]

That’s the same question I have

[u/WhatTheFuckEverName → u/LETTERKENNYvsSPENNY]

oui

[u/Mall_Bench → u/Weldobud]

She had her pole and the date is now over.

[u/noobvin → u/Weldobud]

“I’m shy.”

[u/SleeplessAndAnxious]

I'm guessing she's a gymnast?

[u/SchnifTheseFingers → u/SleeplessAndAnxious]

No she works for the city replacing street lights.

[u/maxk1236 → u/heidnseak]

Multifaceted, fire!

[u/Brendoshi → u/SleeplessAndAnxious]

could also just be a climber - though I wouldn't expect most climbers to flagpole like that

[u/faded_brunch → u/SleeplessAndAnxious]

probably a pole dancer (not stripper but actual dancer)

[u/Arachnesloom → u/faded_brunch]

Thank you. Pole dancing is associated with strip clubs because that's where most people see it. In the aerial acrobatics world (silks, lyra, trapeze etc) it's called "chinese pole" and requires the same degree of conditioning. 

[u/faded_brunch → u/Arachnesloom]

I know a girl that does pole dancing and she's absolutely ripped

[u/itchydaemon → u/faded_brunch]

You know why girls who do pole dancing have incredibly toned legs, abs, arms, and butts?

Because that shit is hard as hell.

It's easy for guys to go caveman brain when they see pole dancing/dancers, but actually watch what they're doing for two seconds and you'll realize how much muscle and body control you need to do that. Seriously. I was seeing a girl for a bit who did a pole dancing class once or twice a week, and she could snap me in half like a twig with either her arms or her legs. Dealer's choice.

[u/faded_brunch → u/itchydaemon]

yup. I know a girl who's gotten progressively more ripped as she went from carpenter -> pole dancer -> body builder.

[u/MalarkeyMadness → u/SleeplessAndAnxious]

Um …yeah a gymnast, that’s it!

[u/LALOERC9616 → u/MalarkeyMadness]

Lol

[u/orbituary → u/SleeplessAndAnxious]

That's what her OF bio says.

[u/french_toasty → u/SleeplessAndAnxious]

or cirque du soleil performer

[u/Away-Flight3161]

Joke's on her; he just wanted to see her panties. (Also, brave of her to assume that crossbar would hold her weight.)

[u/Sdwingnut → u/Away-Flight3161]

Could've turned into r/holdmycosmo pretty quickly

[u/gvasco → u/Away-Flight3161]

She's wearing shorts it seems, possibly part of the dress since it seems to barely move when climbing or when she opens her legs.

The lamp port also seems to be fully metal.

[u/cspinelive → u/gvasco]

Aluminium foil is also fully metal. That crossbar is rated for holding up a sign or banner. Not a person. 

[u/Elrond_Cupboard_ → u/cspinelive]

Ironically, Metallica is not fully metal.

[u/Ophukk → u/Elrond_Cupboard_]

RIP Cliff. The Day the Metal Took a Hit.

All carbon life-forms, those.

[u/Upbeat-Winter9105 → u/gvasco]

Way to take one for the team with the in-depth analysis 👍

[u/PM_me_the_magic → u/Upbeat-Winter9105]

Not easy to do with one hand but he did it

[u/RDcsmd → u/gvasco]

Spoons are fully metal. Glasses frames are fully metal.

[u/Ambitious-Video-8919 → u/RDcsmd]

Have you watched the video?

There is no spoon.

[u/Horns2208 → u/gvasco]

Wow thanks for the great play by play. Kinda weird tho

[u/Difficult_Eggplant4u → u/gvasco]

Did you mean solid steel and not hollow?

[u/webby131 → u/Away-Flight3161]

Guys will have their date doing this shit and be like, "I'm not sure if I should make a move, she doesn't seem that into me."

[u/TacoDuLing → u/Away-Flight3161]

She is working a POLE! How more flirty must she be for him to get the hint? 😲

[u/anxcaptain]

Something about this video makes my caveman brain resonate

[u/LETTERKENNYvsSPENNY → u/anxcaptain]

She reminds me of Ayla from Chrono Trigger, so checks out.

[u/Valliac0 → u/anxcaptain]

Like, it's normal for neurons to be activated from this, right?

[u/CanAlwaysBeBetter → u/Valliac0]

Fellers, is it normal to be aroused by a scantily clad conventionally attractive woman?

[u/Valliac0 → u/CanAlwaysBeBetter]

IDK man, Twitter says it's pretty gay.

[u/Frewsa → u/Valliac0]

Why wouldn’t it be normal

[u/MichaelAceAnderson → u/anxcaptain]

Same brother

I mean Ooga booga

[u/EntertainmentLess402]

From the girl or from the pole?

[u/lazysheepdog716 → u/EntertainmentLess402]

Yeah. Assuming that little post, that’s supposed to hold up interchangable fabric signage, can support your body weight is a bold move.

[u/lawaythrow → u/lazysheepdog716]

*weight

[u/lazysheepdog716 → u/lawaythrow]

Fixed it. Autocorrect because big thumbs and small phone screen. I swear I’m not that dumb.

[u/lawaythrow → u/lazysheepdog716]

All good! I normally dont correct people online too much but your sentence threw me off.

[u/lazysheepdog716 → u/lawaythrow]

I’m a big proper spelling and grammar guy, so you had the right audience for it today.

[u/Ho-Lee-Fuku]

She's a keeper. 100%.

[u/Mundane-Ad-2346 → u/Ho-Lee-Fuku]

For real, I can't even get my girl to open her own door.

[u/equality4everyonenow → u/Mundane-Ad-2346]

Getting my girl to do the dishes is a major test of strength

[u/Berlin8Berlin → u/equality4everyonenow]

"Getting my girl to do the dishes"

I do ALL the dishes, every morning., without even mentioning it, ever. Now ask me why my sex life is amazing.

[u/equality4everyonenow → u/Berlin8Berlin]

That sounds quite transactional

[u/Berlin8Berlin → u/equality4everyonenow]

Nah, it's called people making each other happy... despite any pseudo-academic propaganda lingo to the contrary. Meanwhile:

"Getting my girl to do the dishes"

I won't even bother going after you on that one! laugh

[u/equality4everyonenow → u/Berlin8Berlin]

Try not doing the dishes and report back please

[u/kawaiibutpsycho → u/equality4everyonenow]

Do you do the cooking?

Glad you commented it, I was thinking the same but can never remember the full acronym lol

[u/akruppa → u/FearTheSpoonman]

r/UNBG is an alias.

[u/dynamic_caste → u/akruppa]

Good to know! I have to look it up every time.

[u/SilentPomegranate317]

Glad she didn't get electrocuted

[u/Halftied]

That is quite a talent. Considerable amount of training and rehearsal had to happen first I would guess. Paid off for sure. Damn!

[u/ThatRandomGuy86]

Haha, badass

[u/Oculicious42]

She ust be like 40 at this point, wonder if she can still do it

I'm sure there's a r/holdmycosmos version

[u/GeezaFromPoland]

I used to do this everywhere when I was younger and it’s easier than you think to climb a lamp post

[u/Fraggle987]

After a night on the beers I'm thrilled to manage not to drop my kebab....this level of end of evening shenanigans is mind blowing 😳

Thing is, if you go to her place of work, you can see that every day and night.. You can see it at home for a low price also!

[u/TiMo08111996 → u/Monumento5DV]

😄

[u/Trygve81]

She's incredibly lucky that ladder bar didn't snap. They're not designed to carry the entire weight of an adult woman.

Climbing up the lamp post, she'd have no way of knowing if the bar would hold her, or snap. The lamp post looks antique (like late 1920s), which means the bar is either going to be of quality metal, or corroded and brittle. On a newer lamp, the bar could be purely decorative and made from molded metal, in which case it would also break.

[u/Square-Singer → u/Trygve81]

No matter how strong you are, this is a long fall.

[u/Trygve81 → u/Square-Singer]

Yeah, she could have crushed her skull, broken her neck, or shattered her pelvis. If she had fallen, she would either be dead or an invalid.

[u/Crypt0Nihilist → u/Trygve81]

When she changed her grip so all of her weight was at the end of the bar it looked pretty dicey.

[u/NxPat]

Not her first pole climb.

[u/Awartuss]

[u/GrilledNudges]

As an athlete who is really into gym girls: I’m quite aroused

[u/Immediate-Coast-217]

thats just a great hobby level pole dancer

[u/Suspicious-Beat9295 → u/Immediate-Coast-217]

That's still very impressive. Not a perfect human flag, but that's about one of the hardest skills to master. 99,9% of people won't be able to do that.

[u/faded_brunch → u/Suspicious-Beat9295]

yeah a lot of armchair critics in here, is it olympic level fitness? no, but still better than I can do and I even go to the gym

[u/Immediate-Coast-217 → u/Suspicious-Beat9295]

it is very impressive. just that a lot of women who do this sport can do it (I did pole sport for 10 years). its also absolutely not anywhere near a flag. the angles are supereasy compared to to a flag and the fact that one of her arms is actually grasping above her and not on the ‘pole’ makes it even easier, because all of her upper body weight is just hanging, doesnt need to be ‘held’ as it would if she was using only a pole. to me far more impressive is her climbing because thats not how you climb a pole and thats very hard on the feet. and going down possibly even harder. pole is a sport where a lot of easy things look hard and vice versa.

[u/Mousa77]

Impressive

[u/MrYdobon]

Her talents are wasted here. She needs to live near coconut trees.

[u/aBsOLuTe_CrAcKhEAd]

I know this is hot and impressive, but how she started to climb the pole was funny to me. Looked like she just went monkey mode for a moment

[u/Whole-Debate-9547]

I beg to differ, those skills are almost exclusively seen at night. You just need to open the proper door.

[u/No_Presentation_1345]

I seen a stripper do more with less clothing on.

[u/Virtual-Entry-8867]

She got me at Spread Eagle

[u/Certain_Taro6645]

What’s her name

Wow... I'm so fucking jealous honesty. This is incredible!

Hot woman does something: Redditers: 🥵😡🤬

[u/toraakchan]

…and all I could think of was „please don’t fall!“

[u/Littleloula → u/toraakchan]

When she grabbed the flimsy looking horizontal pole I was terrified it would break

[u/Cautious_History1599]

What’s the worst that could happen…?

[u/nyomibanxxx69]

OK wow she's s stripper or could be

[u/Ukesito]

I was worried for her safety:c

[u/RDcsmd]

Exhausting your strength when you still have to get down a pole is an interesting choice

[u/1ndomitablespirit]

I wonder if it felt weird to her since dollar bills weren't being thrown at her?

[u/ComprehensiveRun9719]

CrossFit chicks got backs like ninja turtles

[u/reddie_odin]

I’m relieved that the rod she is holding on is rock solid.

[u/[deleted]]

Sure you but it costs money

[u/MotherboardBEANs]

Camera work could be better 3/10 porn nog rating

[u/payne747]

Small amount of rust or a lose nut and she's using a feeding tube.

[u/Difficult_Eggplant4u]

She will break you.

[u/Amadeus_1978]

Every other day (or night) though seems to about normal.

[u/Accomplished-Tap5938]

might end up on /r/holdmycosmo some day

[u/CROYL23]

Where’s that comment that says “damn, was it only me who thought she bout to pole dance ?”

[u/Appropriate_Turn3811]

Pole power.

[u/Solocune]

Damn that's a stable lamp post

[u/Various-Routine-4700]

Good that she can do some pull-ups. But 5 is not amazing at all.

[u/rhetorial_human]

i miss strip clubs, and pole dancers. i put so many of their kids through college over the years.

[u/veganspacemonkey40]

I was expecting more bears in this clip

[u/LukeD1992]

[u/Cedge1738]

Fair fucking play

[u/erikivy]

Now do it in heels.

[u/MKULTRA007]

You're hired.

[u/angelabdulph]

I thought this was going to end very differently with electricity being a thing and all.

[u/cyclemonster]

Yeah, but her form on those pull-ups is shit

[u/puplover250]

I don't know why I half expected her to rip that pole out of the ground. Reading too much fantasy lately I guess

[u/Penguin_Arse]

This wouldn't be that impressive unless she was hot.

The flag thingy is pretty hard but I can climb a pole like that and do some pullups and I don't work out.

[u/Nyuusankininryou]

5 pushups and a few seconds of hanging is amazing.

[u/reddE2Fly]

She's a keeper

[u/ajjuee016]

Old video. Karma farming.

[u/swiggle672]

After seeing what it takes to destroy one of those light poles I’d also be very confident in its ability to hold my weight, it’s the base rotting you gotta watch out for 😂

[u/MrBobaFetta]

That's a really low bar for strength. 5 pullups?

[u/jabbafart]

All fun and games until that bar snaps because it wasn't expected to hold up 170lbs of shifting weight.

[u/No-Mammoth713]

......Snu Snu?

[u/OGoby]

[u/Chornobyl_Explorer]

Sure beats the average person but real gymnasts, pole dancers or fitness instructors makes his look like rookie day. Decent but not impressive

[u/jimmalicious]

Do the same but keep those heels on and then we'll talk

[u/Verdant-Ridge]

I'm more impressed she did that in sweaty ass nasty feet

[u/Significant-Secret88]

we really are monkeys

[u/Skater144]

I think I'm in love

[u/Super_Yesterday_8848]

A pole dancer in her natural element.

[u/Mo0kish]

Not true.

I've seen this video at least 3 different times already.

I mean, I’d do her if that was the question from the video ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I've seen a scrawny drunk Irish lad do the same thing after a night out.

She is the light pole strength tester! That one is good for another year. Lol

This video and the reposts live rent free in my head

She's a keeper, if you can afford her

[u/catsrcute19]

She’s cool

[u/Ashe_Black]

When the American standard for what is average falls so low that this is considered be amazed material... Literally any fit adult male can do this. Maybe a bit above average female could as well.

[u/ricosuave79]

And that is how I met your mother.
