Balloon incident at university

[Bee Looner]

This story happened a couple of years ago at my university.
The student union called a day with some activities in order to promote the integration of new students.
My group of friends and I also attended... You can imagine, some talks, workshops, recreation areas.
The issue is that there was an activity that took place in the main hall of the university which has marble walls and floors and high ceilings.
There were 12" balloons typical of any event, although they looked good quality, I didn't know the brand because they were in bowls.
We students took a balloon, put a note with our interests and wrote something funny on the outside. The time came, we were bursting the balloons with our fingernails or feet to find out the little notes. The atmosphere was pleasant and people were having a good time and you know that... there were still balloons in the bowls and they were deflated... hehehe
So I didn't even think about it, I grabbed several balloons, I went to my group of friends and I told them, let's blow them up until they burst, it's a race and we moved away from the group a little (the people was talking, there were no more pops from the balloons with notes)
Without realizing it we were in the center of the hall and it was there where we started to blow. We were 5 girls and 2 boys. The necks came out quickly for some of us and then they began to burst very loudly due to the high ceilings... it was like shots from a shotgun and it was a very funny situation because the counselor came up to us and said that we should not burst any more balloons

Wow that´s such an awesome story! It´s crazy how much louder a b2p is compared to other popping methods. It can really sound almost like a gunshot! Of course you might have scared a few people there and I would have jumped too, but somehow I´d also have enjoyed it Thank you for sharing this memory with us!

How can you imagine, I already had a few B2P advantage so I was the first to do it in pieces but I have to say that it was almost in second place Because a friend's balloon exploded a couple of seconds later.

Unfortunately I never remember a situation with that group of friends in which we did B2P. Nor did the auspicious situation occur

Re: Balloon incident at university

I was at uni back in the 2000's and I used to be on the committee for a student club. Every year we would have a fair where all the clubs had stalls and would advertise for the new students to join up etc. I was on the stall one year and had inflated some 14 inch balloons to decorate it. Some of the other stalls had balloons too, but theres were much smaller (and less inflated) than the ones I inflated for our stall haha.

Opposite our stall that year was the army cadets stall (they ran weekend activities for students interested in joining the military after university). There was a guy manning that stall who I found VERY attractive. I have a thing for guys in military uniform anyway, and this guy was 100% my type generally anyway.

When things got quiet this guy came over to our booth and starting asking me about the club (we were a geeky gaming club, with warhammer miniatures and dungeons and dragons stuff etc). He told me that he had always wanted to play d&d but didnt know much about it so we spent a while chatting together. While we were chatting he kept batting one of the balloons on our booth about on its string. He made a comment about how huge it was and we laughed.

He went back to his stall and we started to pack away. I took the balloons down and put them behind the stall while I cleaned everything else up. I was planning on taking them and having some "fun" with them later. The hot army cadet guy came over at the end and we chatted again and he asked what I was going to do with the balloons. I awkwardly said I was going to just burst them, and he enthusiastically asked if he could help. I was still very shy about my fetish back then but nervously said yes. He picked up the biggest of the balloons, a big red one and started batting it up in the air on its string, before catching it in his hands and squeeze busting it. It was like a bomb in the hall we were in and everyone still packing their stalls up looked over. The guy (his name was Mark) laughed and stomped another of the balloons. Then another and another. I just stood back and let him get on with it. He was clearly loving every minute of it and I wished I had a camera phone back then (and the guts to film it haha). One of the hottest memories I have.

That sounds super hot! I had a similar thing at uni where I brought some balloons for our stand, but they weren't 14". I was encouraging another guy in my club to help me inflate them, but he seemed really nervous and I saw him put one of the balloons in his pocket instead of inflating it.

Was he phobic, a looner, or both? I never found out! But the fair at the start of the year was always good for seeing some hot guys blowing up balloons for their stands too

I didn't expect you to be from Spain, I'm not used to seeing people from Spain here, I thought I was one of the few.

Re: Balloon incident at university

Amazing story, I've always been scared of situations like the one you present but nowadays I wish I could experience something like that. Seeing or even participating in a b2p race.
Thanks for sharing

Re: Balloon incident at university

I can only tell you about one missed incident from my university years. It was spring student days, but I wasn't interested in the programs, I could find better things to do.
Afterwards, I read an article in the student newspaper, a girl wrote that there was a balloon tent lined with balloons inside. She complained that when it was over, some boys came and popped all the balloons one by one with cigarettes. She wanted to save them, but the boys just laughed at her and bursted all ballons just for that.
I was terribly sorry I couldn't be there. I would have helped those boys too, even though I don't smoke.

There is definitely nothing better than destroying hundreds of balloons in clusters that someone wants to save...

I had a similar incident. Back in my university days, I found myself manning a stall. Across from us was this store that boasted the most incredible 14-inch Jewel-tone helium balloons. They were inflated just right—large, vivid, and tight. I was dumbfounded when the girl strolled in, with this massive bunch of beauties.

I didn't want to seem too eager, but I couldn't tear my eyes away. All day, I brainstormed ways to make them mine—considering buying them or crafting some clever excuse. However, with my friends around, a perfect reason eluded me. So, I decided to bide my time, waiting until the end of the day when most of the people had left, hoping that fate would intervene.

As the day wound down, I assisted in packing up the stall and took a short break to load up the car. It was meant to be a quick affair, no more than ten minutes. When I returned, there was no trace of the balloons. I hesitated to ask my friends what had become of them, but a glance at the bins told the story—broken fragments. I was crushed. They had been a sight to behold, and the memory of those stunning balloons still lingers, even after nearly three decades.
