I think this is a fantastic idea for a thread, and no one has complained about necro-posting yet so... I've definitely got some things to share.
I've got a story, but first, here's pictures of some of the sillier things I've done in armor:

Now, my story:
Sadly, I didn't get a picture or video from this story, but at my husband's college, they had a "comic con" costume night at a basketball game. It had a costume contest, so naturally, I had to go wearing my armor to see if I could win anything. During half time, they drew a name from a hat to give that person a chance to win free tacos from a local taco place by shooting a basket. I had entered this contest too, because why not? And as fate would have it, they drew my name.
As I clunked onto the empty court with the whole school watching, I was glad I played basketball in highschool for two years. Unfortunately for me, fiberglass armor is not good for the range of motion needed to shoot a basket. Before I even had time to get situated, the timer began counting down from 30 seconds, and they passed me the ball. I took a shot and missed. I felt my forearm and bicep pieces make contact and restrict my movement. However, I did have one ace up my sleeve: I've had my suit of armor for 7 years; I know exactly how to move and shift my armor to remedy loss of movement. I adjusted my arm, took aim, and shot again. I made the hoop. The crowd loved it. With the remaining time on the clock I attempted another shot but missed. I didn't care. I made a freaking basketball hoop in armor and- more importantly- I won free tacos!
