Got stabbed with a used syringe by a junkie because I wouldn't give him a cigarette and didn't catch a thing except for 3 months of no sex with a new girlfriend.

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...

You didn't get one of those awesome scars from it did you?

I wish...would have at least given me something to show for the experience. Had some light burn marks on my back but that healed after a couple of weeks and wasn't very impressive to see.

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.

All these posts from Americans almost getting caught with a small amount of weed being the most dangerous situation they've ever been in is just. It's mindblowing. "We went into a black neighbourhood to score weed and saw some cops. It's loving harrowing but thank Christ we escaped with our lives!"

lmao every other developed nation is like 500% more racist than america

are you even trying? the answer is no of course

It wasn't the racism thing it was more the banality of it all. A run in with the cops as a teenager while you've got a small amount of weed on you just won't rate to people in most other developed nations.

You got poked w a syringe. WHoop dee doo

Well I've also been hit by a car and left for dead on the side of the road, almost been lynched because some moron interpreted "actually the koran was written about a thousand years before America was a nation so no it doesn't say anything about destroying America in there" as gently caress islam and muslims. The only reason I didn't end up at least in hospital was because this awesome Iraqi guy Wael calmed the mob down (I'm not kidding about this Karla was a loving moron and probably had some kind of developmental issues who didn't like being told she was wrong so she went and told a little story to all the gang members at the school), been caught in multiple rip tides and survived a suicide attempt when I was a teenager but I went with the syringe story. Oh and I had a simple hernia operation when I was 4 or 5 that apparently nearly killed me but I don't remember anything about it. I should ask my mum about that.

E: And I very nearly just went out with my fly undone! My god, do you know what it's like constantly living on the edge like I do?
