I woke up naked and freezing cold on the floor next to my chair at 5pm the next day. I knew I was one more pill of this or that away from dying and being found like that like some kind of loving idiot. I missed work and had a lot of missed calls. rear end in a top hat. Embarassing. Quit abusing pills on the spot. The next few days were rough, but the party was over. more like COLDTURKEY101

phasmid posted:That sucks but roofies are mickey finn. Rohypnol. Also to be technical, you can't roofie yourself. Although there are some ppl who take rohypnol recreationally. Benzos all do the exact same thing at different potencies. God, the phenazepam thread, what a read.

on that one. I got roofied once and it is not quite the same as ativan and drink. Ativan is mild for a trank. Sure, same policy for caution but it's not valium. As for my roofie, I only managed to escape whatever fate because the lady who drugged me gave me half a dose (pieced this together talking to the guy who got the other half).

Benzo powder is some of the most evil poo poo

I once went to my mail box and pick up a shirt, and some teenagers in the neighborhood tried to be stupid and do a race around the neighborhood (it was the summer and nobody was around at a weekday afternoon) and one of them drifted enough to be inches away from bonking me. No honk, no stop and see if I'm okay, he just wanted to win this fake race. Anyway, that car got towed away later that day by unexplained circumstances... real shame....

edit: These were long... tldr crashed a car at 210+ km/h and ate peanuts in the backcountry and almost died of anaphylaxis. Was fun to write them out though I have a couple good ones. Saw this thread and intended to post but didn't have time so I had to go dig this thread up. 1. First good one I was 16 or 17 and had my first car. Not a super fast car by any means but 200hp will get a teenager into trouble. I was out driving around with a couple friends just listening to music and chillin and I was having some fun driving like a bit of a dick. Not interfering with traffic but accelerating hard and doing the odd burnout on the deserted backroads. We turned onto a nice straight 2 lane road with no streetlights or anything but it was smooth so we figured we'd see how fast this car could go! I launch it and am rowing through the gears having a great time - looked at the speedometer and we were going 210kph (130mph) - look up, and my headlights then illuminate a bunch of orange barriers indicating the lane was closed. Thankfully the lane coming the other way wasn't closed but anyway - I SLAM on the brakes, slowing as much as I could before we hit the barriers, I saw the next lane was open so I tried to swerve over into it but was still on the brakes so my rear wheels had essentially no grip. Cue 2 or 3 drift swings left and right barely staying on the road. I finally slowed down but had lost enough control that my car did a 180 to the other side of the road. The car hit a road sign on the rear quarter panel, resulting in a dent and the rear window of the car shattering. We must have gone 200m sliding back and forth before coming to a stop. My friends and I just sat there in silence for what felt like a minute then started assessing the situation. That's the end of the near death part of the story but the rest is funny if you want to read it: The car was OK other than the shattered window and a dent so we tried to drive out of the ditch that we slid into. Unfortunately we were stuck so tried pushing to no avail. As we were starting to give up a couple of jeeps rolled up with a bunch of bros in them, openly drinking beers. We asked if they could tow us out but they said they didn't have a rope but they would go get a friend who could help us. Awesome, we thought. Maybe 10 minutes later another car rolls by and asks if we're okay and need help - "No thanks, we have a friend coming to help us!" As if on loving cue a shitload of red and blue lights start coming over the hill from where we did. The driver just said "are those your friends?" and I'm like yeah I guess so... and he drove off. There were at least 4 cop cars and the police helicopter did a flyover. The cops were grilling me really hard about whether or not I was drinking, which I hadn't been, but at no point asked about speed or anything. I just said the barriers came out of nowhere and I lost control. At the end of it all one of the cops drove the car and the 3 of us pushed it out of the ditch and I only got a ticket for the repair of the sign I damaged - like $100. 2. The second story is the closest I've ever been to dying by a long shot. I have a serious peanut allergy and have been to the hospital a number of times for inadvertent exposures. One day my wife and I were hiking at a ski hill in the summer and had spent the night camping. On our way back we were hungry and I found an old granola bar in my backpack. Since it's my bag I figured I wouldn't have packed anything with peanuts but of course I'd previously let someone else use the pack... Take 2 bites of the bar, comment on how good it is, and pass it to my wife who immediately just said "this is full of peanuts". Thankfully I had an epipen on my so I used it within a few minutes and we started hiking down. Usually one epipen is sufficient for me if I use it early. I guess hiking down pumped up my bloodflow or something because I was getting worse and still had at least a 30 minute walk to our car which was at least another 30 minute drive to the hospital. Oh, and there was no cell service right where we were. So we're basically running along, we've dropped all our backpacks and camping gear on the side of the trail trying to get back into cell service and back to the car. We finally got into cell service and called 911, telling them we didn't have time to wait for an ambulance to get to us and we would start driving down and meet them on the road up to the mountain. As we were approaching our car we saw a crew working on some bushes, asked if they had any epinephrine (no) and a nurse practitioner I know (also no - but he now carries epipens in his first aid kit since then!) We eventually get to the car - at this point I'm wheezing, hot, dizzy, puking, worst reaction I've ever had - and get in. My wife starts rally driving down the dirt road and I'm smacking myself, trying to get angry and stay conscious. We eventually see the ambulance coming so she slams on the brakes and lays on the horn, flashing her lights. They stop and I'm saved! But wait, anaphylaxis also makes you have to poo poo! So before I get in the ambulance I mustered up enough life to pull down my pants on the side of the road and take a giant poo poo in front of the paramedics and my wife lol. I got in to ambulance and got 2 more doses of epi on the drive to the hospital, then another dose in the hospital and I was eventually fine. Scary as gently caress and I am now extremely diligent about peanuts and carrying epipens because that is a lovely way to die, or at least the first half of it is.

Oh and because I almost died from only having one epipen, I'm obligated to share this in case it saves someone's life in the future: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn2oinVuryw Would have made our lives a lot easier

Me and a snowmobile tumbling down a steep hill after failing to hill climb trying to get to a broadcasting tower. The few glimpses i got of the snowmobile violently pursuing trying to possess me while ragdolling down the hill made me sure to always use a helmet. No injuries due to lots of powder snow and missing the few boulders that could crack me open. Snowmobile decided to just start burning up though... Edit: related but not so scary. Got sent to a "winter course" driving different vehicles. The person in charge decided to rent the latest "race" snowmobiles when I was just used to old slow pos junk. Immediately lose control on the first hill and managed to get the snowmobile flipped over so the track was on my back while i hold the accelerator. Holes in jackets and bruises. Cant get over how powerful and light they are nowadays, you can even lift them up alone! gyrotachometer fucked around with this message at 10:35 on Apr 4, 2025 |

Parents were having their bathroom remodeled and the contractors apprentice hadn't turned up so I was lending a hand. We'd ripped out everything but the porcelain toilet and I was outside tidying up the skip for some reason. Trying to make the broken wood and brick look nicer I guess. I have both my arms in the skip when I hear a grunt and look up to see the contactor has just thrown the toilet into the skip from the front door. It hits a hunk of rock and breaks into two and the top most piece (with its razor sharp edge) smashes into the side of the skip right were I'd had my hands maybe 0.5 seconds earlier. I still think from time to time how if he'd not made that noise and I'd not have moved my hands they both could have been cut off. That edge was like a blade.

Both incidents I can think of, I had the same friend present who ended up getting help or saving me. The first one, I was on my bike and I pedaled as fast as I could down a sloped street, through a school parking lot and got 10 or so feet of air before landing on a lowered soccer field. On my face. I blacked out in midair and woke up in the ambulance, but I'm told that I skidded on my face, hit my head on the goal post, and was an inch or two away from breaking my neck. My friend biked to my house (nearby) and told my sister. The second one, the neighborhoods where I lived had paved walking paths behind the houses, and every so often these paths would have exits between houses out to the road. This one was also sloped, and it was winter so it was icy and slippery. I was gingerly creeping down but I lost my footing and slid, my friend behind me reached out and caught me before I slid onto the road as a car was driving by.

TITTIEKISSER69 posted:Both incidents I can think of, I had the same friend present who ended up getting help or saving me. Were you trying to get air off the drop or just didn't see it coming??? We used to do stupid poo poo on our bikes in the city too (riding off loading docks and such). Thankfully never had any serious incidents doing that although i did land a mountainbike drop on my head a few years ago and nearly paralyzed myself

Just trying to get air. We had all commonly rode our bikes down that 10-15 foot slope, maybe getting a bit of air here and there. I learned the hard way that you don't always stick every landing! A few years ago the school building and parking lot got demolished, and the soccer field got raised. The whole area is now a football field.
