have you ever fallen into cacti?

[Oblivia]

No, but I kept house cacti as a kid and had one with very soft, fine needles that would stick in your skin with the slightest pressure, so naturally I touched it every single day and would then pull out the needles one by one. I don't remember the exact variety of cactus but I remember it was my favorite.

 

[daisyflowers]

nope, there's no cacti around these parts

 

[Firesquids]

Not a cactus, but one time I was trimming a hedge and fell off of a ladder into a holly bush, would not recommend.

Okay so my neighborhood is adjacent to this walking trail that goes through most of the city. When I had to take long phone calls, I used to go for a walk down the trail and eventually find myself wandering up a nearby open hill to hop around on the low rocks up there. One day I realized that there were a bunch of small, flat cacti scattered around just coming straight up out of this field, completely steppable.

Of course I came home and told my roommates that there were a bunch of cacti growing in a field by our house, but they were incredulous because none of us had ever seen one in our city and they aren’t considered native to the area. Finally one of them volunteered the statement “well….I believe that YOU believe you saw a cactus.”

A few months later a different roommate fell down on the hill and had to remove cactus spikes from her back end. Roommate 1 conceded he had been wrong, but it didn’t do our friend much good!

I’ve owned cacti before, but I’ve never fallen into one!

 

[BetsySundrop]

I've never fallen into cacti, not many cacti in the areas I've been.

I have, however, gotten really caught in thorny wild black raspberry and blackberry bushes. Not fun. But ig worth it, because free berries.

 

[Halloqueen]

I haven't really been around cacti enough to have had the chance of falling into any.

 

[Zinnia.]

nope. i've never really gotten close to any either.

 

[Yanrima~]

Cacti aren't native from where I come around so nope. Didn't touch any of them either.

 

[Irescien]

Don’t really have cacti around me, the only ones ive seen before are very tiny ones in pots. And i dont believe I’ve fallen on any of those

 

[Newbiemayor]

No thankfully, but I have seen one. My grandparents had one in the back corner of their yard.

 

[mewp0ka]

no, but i did touch one once without knowing when i was a kid. my grandma owned multiple types of cacti and i guess i was playing and didn't notice my surroundings and my hand had touched one of them.

 

[JellyLu]

I have, but I don't remember it. I have family in Arizona, which is pretty much desert. Apparently one day when I was a toddler I was walking in the garden and slipped and fell into a cactus. I caught myself with my hands, so my hands got poked, not my face. According to my parents I was crying and calling the cactus a "bad plant." Haha

I still love cacti and don't think of them as bad :")

 

[Asarena]

I've never fallen into cacti before. I'm always really cautious around things that I think could hurt me, so I maintain a respectful distance from all cacti

 

[seliph]

nope, i don't think cacti are even a thing in canada

 

[corlee1289]

In the area that I live in, we do not have naturally growing cacti as it is too cold.

I didn't even realize it was POSSIBLE to fall into cacti. That seems like some kind of Looney Tunes mania

 

[You got mail!]

No and I don’t imagine it’s a very fun experience haha

 

[Chere.]

No, and I hope that never happens. Cacti don’t naturally grow where I live though, so that’s somewhat of a relief.

 

[.: Meri :.]

No cacti around here, so I have not! We do have briars aplenty here though, and while I don't think I've fallen in a patch (at least not too badly, or I'm sure I would remember it), I have gotten caught in them a few times Not fun, and it's super easy to get cut more trying to untangle yourself from them.

 

[Corrie]

I've never seen large cacti irl before. Just the tiny ones you buy at the store!
