This happened to this troper TWICE.She had a crush on this boy in the dance class she was trying out. (Switch to first person) We were talking about anime, and I mentioned {{Fullmetal Alchemist}}. The conversation went something like this. #QUOTE#Me: Do you like FMA? #QUOTE#Boy: I LOVE FMA!! I watched it with my boyfriend last month and we laughed our asses off. #QUOTE#Me: Yeah, it's really funny. (beat) WAIT BOYFRIEND????? YOU'RE GAY???!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! #QUOTE#Boy: I'm sorry. Want to be {{Platonic Life Partners}}?

Second time this happened, I was sprinting to my Spanish class in order to avoid being late, ran through some deserted hallways, and saw THREE couples, all of whom were her friends, making out. I said, oh, look, it's Laura and Tim, Carmen and John, and Ken and Nick. (beat) KEN AND NICK??!!!

Happened to my friend. He was flipping through my photos saying "OK, you at ComiCon, England, Chicago, Art Class, Dance class, School, pictures of haloween, Ouran High School Host Club, yaoi doijinshi, (beat) YAOI DOUJINSHI????!!! WHAT THE HELL (Insert troper's name here)???!!!

This troper had this when he had this conversation with two other friends who were females. #QUOTE#'''1st friend''': I almost got raped by him...(her ex-boyfiend) #QUOTE#'''2nd friend''': When? #QUOTE#'''1st friend''': Last August... #QUOTE#'''Me''': Oh... That's nice... (Beat) WHERE THE FUUUUCK IS HE?!

One of this editor's friends at school was walking through the cafeteria. He actually sat down and almost started to eat before he realized that he had walked past a person wearing a pumpkin costume.

I was looking at random people for some reason, and caught sight of a serious boy from the year above me and he smiled. After double taking I stared at him and realized he's amazingly handsome. #QUOTE# BFF: Ellie, are you trying to catch flies? #QUOTE# Me: (Stuttering) He's gorgeous! I want one!!

Update : I got one!

This Troper thought it'd be nice to sit in the back of the Ute, staring at the stars. The following sentence spoken by This Troper explains what happened: #QUOTE#'''This Troper:''' Ah, what a nice night to sit under the stars. Completely cloudless... no rain... and there's a red-back spider next to me... *sigh*... ...A RED-BACK SPIDER?!

This troper has a not so nice case. His brother came and said: #QUOTE#'''Brother''': Bro, i think I broke the computer. #QUOTE#'''This troper''': Right right, I just... YOU WHAT?!

This troper once ''caused'' a Double Take. By a ''cat''. He was snoozing on a counter; I was carrying some laundry and had draped a bit of it over my head in a way that acted as a mask. Not intentionally; that was just the way it wound up. As I passed the cat, I said, "Hi!" to him, his eyes opened, and then abruptly his eyes opened ''very'' wide.

This troper just did so on this very site while reading ''Finian's Rainbow'' example on the CueTheFlyingPigs page. HilariousInHindsight character naming, anyone?

This troper gets these while wearing his kilt.

This troper does this frequently, mostly because he sees things that make him take another look for fear of losing his life or sanity. He's very paranoid. One time he could have sworn he saw Mr. Thin's tentacles moving from behind the stairs.

Somehow happened in This troper's university newpaper. On the very alst page we have a section called declass, where people can send in comments, questions, or just random words completely anonymously. Most of them are complaints, prompting the section to be subtitled with a different variation of "declass: because we know you know life sucks". In issue, the very last entry simply said "youtube corn woman". The pages subtitle? #QUOTE# declass: because there's always a wait hold up "YOUTUBE CORN WOMAN" what the hell

I did it quite recently. I was watching a movie, while most of my family was in the next room, not far from the kitchen. I got hungry and went into the kitchen. On the way there my sister's fiance - who I barely knew was visiting today, but hadn't heard coming into the house - goes "Hi [troper's name here]" and I go "Hi [sister's fiance's name here]". I walk a few step, stop, go back in reverse, look at him and go "You're here?". Everyone but me laughs.

This die-hard tomboy gets this when wearing pink or a skirt. #QUOTE# Friend: Hi, Phe. (Double Takes) Y-you do know that a pink shirt, right? #QUOTE# Me: Yeah, so? #QUOTE# Friend: I have to sit down.
