each post manufactured to the highest specifications


When I was sixteen my family moved cities at the start of summer and because I didn't know anyone I spent the summer walking around the neighbourhood and checking out my new school. About a week before school started I was walking across the football field to the store and this guy maybe a year or two older came up and asked me if I wanted to buy some weed. I had $2 for some snacks so I said no, and he asked if I wanted to just smoke some with him and since I didn't know where to get weed and had no money anyway I said sure. We went down an embankment off the field to this abandoned confidence course and smoked up and on the way back up i went first up the embankment and he grabbed my ankle and pulled me down level with him and started trying to kiss me. I said "no, I have a boyfriend in my old city and I don't want to cheat on him" and he let me go and I went home. Two weeks later I woke up to my clock radio telling me the news that a girl had been found murdered in the abandoned confidence course. It turned out the guy I met had tried a similar thing with this girl and she laughed at him and said some mean things (according to his testimony) and he stabbed her to death.

I didn't even really have a boyfriend, I was just trying to be nice about not wanting to make out with this dude.

Had to talk my way out of a conversation that started to get tense with a police officer who really wanted to see what was in my backpack when he caught me and my friend leaving some random state park at night. Youre not supposed to be at the park at night so thats why he got in our faces in the first place. Im glad I didnt get arrested for having drugs and a pipe!

got the right 2 tires stuck in a ditch on some highway and the right side sunk, car was tilted diagonally, and when i tuned the wheel left to get out the car swerved into the left lane and I was basically perpendicular to the divider - happy nobody was behind me on the left lane or I would have been brained

got out of a trespassing ticket because i was 17

I was walking across a crosswalk when the light turned yellow one night after a fight with my highschool girlfriend. I didn't notice that a car was speeding through to try and beat the yellow, and all of a sudden I had a flash of a person as I was mid-step: it was my reflection from the windows of the car.

I took my headphones off and kind of juts stood in the middle of the road, but then a cop cars sirens started from the opposite lane of the intersection, so I got out of his way.

i was skiing and thought 'oh it looks fun to go in the woods here'. then i couldn't slow down because i'm not a great skiier and almost hit a ton of trees and then zoomed back onto the trail and was lucky that there wasn't anybody to crash into there. then later in the day i tore my rotator cuff and fractured my shoulder (boring mogul-related awkward fall)

i was driving on the interstate and went around a bend that had a little hump in it so you couldn't see far, if i had been in the other lane i would have hit the dead deer lying right in the middle of the lane

i think the most danger i put myself in on a daily basis is through eating cheese and salami at night and not exercising

my 81 El Camino caught on fire, the dry rotted hoses broke and sprayed gasoline all over the engine.
There was fire at my feet, and I barely got out without getting burned.
It was completely engulfed less than 60 seconds later.

When I was 15 I was cranking it to some porn on the family computer in the basement. I was about to cum and realized I had no tissues handy. At the same exact time, I heard my father walk down stairs. I couldn't stop cumming so I just jizzed in my hand. My dad busted into the room (I think he was trying to bust me looking at porn) and I'm sitting there with a load all over my hand, but I put it in my sweatshirt pocket to hide it. He wanted me to look something up for him and so I did with my one jizzless hand. He asked why I was typing with one hand and I said "I dunno..." and then quickly ran to the bathroom.

In hindsight should have smacked him with jizz hand.

a "close call" with a deer is when it goes over your hood and hits your windshield but you manage to not get impaled by hooves. get outta here with this "i almost dented my bumper" baloney lol :qq:

i crested a hill to see an oncoming car in my lane and swerved off, barely avoiding flying downhill into the wood line at 40 mph. the idiot crashed into the car behind me though because i guess me veering off and honking didnt clue anyone in fast enough.

I wanted to cross a busy 4 lane campus road that had a crosswalk but no lights. A usps truck had stopped in the lane closest to to me so I started going, I looked up to give a courtesy nod to the driver but noticed he wasn't looking at me but was instead staring into his mirrors, a moment later I could see a car just booking it through all the windows of the truck and barely stopped/pulled back in time to avoid getting clipped by the car that was probably going ~40 or so.

Another time i was walking home, this time through a crosswalk with a signal and sorta just going forwards minding my own business. I saw this van coming down the road I was crossing, but he had a red light and I had a walk so I don't really think anything of it. I'm almost across the street when suddenly I feel the leg I was about to take a step forward with just get swept out in front of me, I stumble a bit and look back as that van peels off into their right turn, evidently they both didn't see me and weren't planning on hitting a full stop. If they were like an inch closer to me or if I had my weight on that leg instead of being in the process of taking a step with it I think I would have been seriously hurt, and it was a hit & run so overall pretty dangerous.

Then another time I was sliding into first and my pants began to burst. Same result though. I made it to a restroom after being called out.

a couple years back during the run-up to a thunderstorm (clouds were overhead and wind was gusting but rain hadn't started) i was out walking in the pasture and a bolt of lightning struck a metal t-post about 50 yards away

sounded like a loving cannon went off next to my head

I was struck by lightning when I was in my teens. It was very fortunate that it was an indirect hit, but it was enough to give me a good throw and some bruises, but no other serious injuries that I know of.

...guess that's not so much a close call as it is just a call...

That's a real shame. Those are so cool. As soon as I saw one I started researching ways to get struck by lightning safely. As far as I know it can't be done.
