I Aged Ten years When...

Huggles

Thought this might make a good thread.

OK I'll go first....

I let a scream/shout and aged ten years when....I was walking down a very dark lane behind my house at 6am on the way to work. The other side of the lane is a wall, behind which is an apartment complex. I was walking along all nervous because of the dark/wind/rain, all of a sudden a guy jumps over the apartment complex wall and lands about a foot in front of me. I wasn't aware of him until he landed and to say I nearly sh1t myself is an understatement. He laughed at my screams and told me he was too lazy to walk around to exit when he could just climb the wall :eek: :eek: :eek:

Was in bits for awhile!

So anyone else got any stories about how they almost died of a heart attack from fear?

Dun laoire

No story but that was funny. Good stuff

I nearly died of fright when I put my hand in my handbag one morning and a mouse ran out. I screamed so much that I strained my vocal cords and couldn't speak properly all day. Hubby came racing down the corridor thinking someone had broken in and was stabbing me

If there is a fortunate side to it I was just lucky that my husband asked for something that I had in my bag which is rare, if he hadn't I dread to think of what would have happened on the tube when I'd put my hand in to take out my book. :eek:

I once found a opened book face down under my bed. I picked it up and realised the whole thing was completely coated in spider webs. When I seen that, I felt a tickle and looked down to see the biggest spider I'd ever seen walking quickly up my arm. I think my heart did actually stop for a few seconds, and it took me about a minute before I was able to breath again.

I'm not as wussy with spiders anymore though. Honestly :rolleyes:

When i was four i stuck a knife in an electrical socket ... it was definetly a shock .... don't know if i aged ten years but i was unconcious and gained some superpowers* (xray vision, the ability to fly, the ability to drink 19.5 pints without falling down)






*This bit maybe made up but the rest is true

While travelling I was in a desert and just walking along with my friends. Suddenly I felt someone putting their hand on my shoulder.
I glanced over only to see the biggest fecking grasshopper I ever saw sitting 4 inches from my face, staring back at me! I screamed like a girl and ran away

This may sound stupid but I am terrified of the things, don't know why really.

A friend of mine is always ten minutes behind our conversation.

When I was a kid whilst gathering wood for the bofire we came across a skip. I noticed a mousetrap, I was like 'Wow a mousetrap' - picked it up only to find a dead mouse on it! :eek:

I screamed like a gurl.

About 2 minutes from the end of the 2005 European Cup Final Andrey Shevchenko goes through on the Liverpool goal one-on-one with Jerzy Dudek. Dudek is on the floor having stopped the initial shot and the ball has rolled away from him. Shevchenko is yards away from goal and shoots, Dudek can only stretch out his arm in front of him and pray.
Aged more than 10 years in that moment!

In true male bravado style I was out jumping off 50ft cliffs with one of my friends in Canada (not the scary part) we'd been doing it all day, when my friend says, hey lets swim to the other side of the lake, there was a buoy in the middle which we could rest at and then continue. Now i'm not the worst swimmer, but I am far from the best and I think the day jumping off cliffs had put so much adrenalin in my blood that my perception of what I had energy for and what I actually had where completely different. So we got to the buoy which I figured was half way (its impossible to tell distance over water) and was resting when my friend started off again shouting back "come on, don't be a wuss, we're nearly there" so i chased after him at full speed only to find my legs and arms cramping about 40ft from the shore. I honestly thought I was going to die, i sank like a stone. The only thing that saved was that I had happened to swim over a sandbar which was about 8ft under the water, I used that to bounce my way back to shore. Needless to say I was white as a sheet for the rest of the day, and go swimming regularly.

It was the cat that brought the mouse in as a present and the only place the mouse could go was into my handbag, it was one with a flap.

I crashed my boyfriends car, when I was in the middle of doing my Leaving Cert. I was uninsured and I didnt have a licence. I went into really bad shock that left me shaking for days.

i was canoeing down the boyne and i went down a weir. i capsized at the bottom and got caught in the white water. the boat was on top of me pressing me against the bottom so i was drowning in about 12 inches of water.

the swell pushed me out to the end of the weir and it got deep again so i was able to get out just before i drowned. scared the crap out of me* and i stopped canoeing shortly afterwards.

*although i didn't actually have to clean out the boat

I aged ten years when I broke my back in a car crash.

Aged another ten years eight months later when our car went out of control on the Cork to Kerry road and the arse of it swung out over a 200+ft drop but lucky came back around and the car stopped. We were literally parallel to the drop. When I opened my door all I saw was a river way way way below me.

Fajitas!

I have terrible arachniphobia, especially for a big fella.

I was moving some furniture into my aunts shed the end of last summer. All was grand, down to the last few chairs (She had had a party the night before).
I thought I saw something moving, and, not unlike a horror movie, looked up to see the whole ceiling white with webs, and 4 HUGE spiders dangling down.

I tried to do so many things to get away at once I just froze until my aul fella had to drag me out. Ugh...terrifed ain't the words.


Stupid stupid fear.

One pitch black night, as I drifted off to sleep, I was awoken from my semi-slumber by a loud buzzing coming from outside the window. A shudder went down my spine as I considered what could make such a racket. I rolled onto my back and closed my eyes trying to forget about it. At that precise moment... WHAMMMM! something huge landed on my face and began crawling. I began screaming. It wasn't outside after all! Whatever it was it felt like it covered most of my face, and as I lay there trying not to make a hasty move (and anger it), it began crawling towards my forhead. It felt like needles were being gently prodded into my skin. About 3 seconds later I beat the monster off my face and frantically fumbled for the bedside light. I was on the verge of panic. After managing to switch the light on I saw it, a huge cockroach about 3 inches long lying on my blanket - on its back, legs twitching. I kicked it off, and with a shocking number of hits with the heal of my shoe it finally stopped twitching. It was at this point that I noticed that the floor was crawling with them... The dark was apparently their friend.

Needless to say, I changed rooms and didn't sleep a wink.

In one apartment that I had I use to hang my clothes on the back line to dry. One morning I was taking a shower. I got out, dried off and slipped into my knickers. Suddenly I felt a buzzing in my crotch area. I knew immediately that it was a bee!! I screamed at the top of lungs and whipped my knickers off! My partner and son came running and they laughed their asses off!! :rolleyes: That was too close for comfort!!

Fanny Cradock

tell me about your knickers again...


ughhhh !

Feckin muppets like u drive the insurance premiums up for the rest of us. Spa. You realise if you seriously injured someone there would be no insurance to pay the hospital fees and might die as a result? Actually pissed off u didn't now, least u wouldn't still be on the road.

I really didn't think I was afraid of anything... snakes, scorpions, sharks, cheatahs etc.

One night I came home to find a banana-leaf spider on the ceiling of my living-room/kitchen. I wasn't afraid of it per-se. More afraid that the f**cker would walk on my chest the next morning. I knew it was not venomous - but a spider thats bigger than your head! Jesus let me outta here!

Has to be the scariest +harmless arachnid!

I'm not afraid of anything :cool:

You could have posted that without the abuse, you've been warned. Thanks. Carry on people.

lol brilliant

For me, cant say Ive ever aged 10 years, but biggeswt "fuk your not serious" was probably a few months ago when my friend told me one of our mates had drowned back in his home country. The jaw dropped and the face whitened.

Apart from that....nah....cmon, someone shock me ffs.

elivsvonchiaing

No-one ages 10 years in a few days! You have to have been a dictator of a country for 10 years for that!

I just wonder how many doctors endorse such claims!

I was working for a cleaning company a few years back, and one night I left a few offices until after I'd finished my other job. The company's offices were on both sides of a pedestrian street. I was giving my girlfriend a lift home that night. When I was doing one set of offices, I realised I needed stuff that was in the offices across the street. I told my girlfriend to wait and I'd be back in a minute. The offices across the way were not being used for a couple of months and I hadn't gone near them. I opened the shutter, unlocked the door and went upstairs. The stuff wasn't where I'd left it, so I wandered around with the little LED light on my phone. Alot of the lights weren't working. I noticed that some of the builders who worked for the company had been using the place as a canteen as there was bread and stuff on a table. When I had just given up looking, I realised I'd missed the first office inside the door. I opened it and saw a dark shape on the floor. It took a second to register that it was a person. He seemed to be naked except for a blanket wrapped around him. Like a shot it hit me why the food was on the table. I nearly dropped. He was about 30-40 years old and had long hair and a beard. He looked just like Bobby Sands during the hunger strike. When it hit me what I was looking at, I made some sort of noise. He stuck out a hand and said "It's O.K.". I slammed the door and legged it down the stairs. I locked the door after me and put down the shutter. It seemed to take ages as it was electric. I ran across the street and my girlfriend said I looked like I'd seen a ghost. I finished up quickly and left a note on the receptionists desk say they had a squater in the offices across the street. I don't know how he got in, but I reckon he'd got on the roof from a yard next door and came in through a skylight. That was one of the biggest shocks I've ever had and I hope I never get one even remotely as worthy of pant shatting again.:eek:

I got a text and thought one of my friends had died..the text was about somebody I didn't know with the same name. I nearly died of shock thoug

A few years ago, I had replaced the standard Windows start up sound with another sound that was basically some evil-as-hell sounding thing talking in some weird language.
One morning I'd come downstairs, and turned the pc on. My mother was in the kitchen, so I was chatting away to her when I heard this freaky as f*ck voice (volume was high on the pc, and I'd forgotten I'd turned it on) echoing about the place. Apparently my mother'd realised what it was, but I nearly shat meself when I heard it.

Not as good as some here...but, uh...shut it.

Bleurgh! Ew! Bah! Hurl. I hate feckin cockroaches. Hardy little bastards too, being able to survived nuclear holocausts and whatnot. I seem to recall that a hammer does the trick fairly well when it comes to extermination. I think it's the noise that freaks me out the most.
Clicking feckers. And on your face too...see now that's just plain foul.

...........a few weeks ago when my son was almost 4 yrs old he went missing in City Square Shopping Centre. My Mam was minding him at the time but got a dizzy spell and nearly fainted. Luckily she was ok but due to the fact my son can move like lightening she realised he had ran off. She searched with the help of security gaurds and shop assistants for 20 minutes but couldn't find him. I finished work and met her at 5:20 and she was hysterical. I then searched myself for a further 20 minute which were the longest most horrifying minutes of my ENTIRE life. I will never forget not being able to find my son. We searched every shop in the shopping centre lots of times. I even went down to the underground car park. My heart was thumping and I was shaking with shock and fear. I was beginning to fear the worst and kept thinking of Jamie Bolger (RIP) and tbh there are no words to describe what I felt for those minutes. Eventually I found him 40 minutes after he had gone missing. He was strolling around Dunnes without a care in the world. Thank God he's ok but I will NEVER forget those 20 minutes searching for my son, even thinking about it now I've aged another 10 years.

remind me never to get in car with you.

you are the jonah of cars.

Aged ten years when I was at a friends house a couple of years ago. The guys seriously out of his mind. He says he's going to the toilet, gets up and leaves the room. A couple of minutes pass and I'm twiddling my thumbs wondering where the hell he is. I hear my name being called, I turn around to find a double barrel shotgun to my head. I'm freaking out telling him to put it down yet he just laughs and I watch, petrified, as his finger squeezes the trigger and then .. *click*.

thankfully enough it wasn't loaded, but damn, I almost shat myself.

only one that really sticks out is watching that movie signs in the cinema when it came out and the bit in the basement where the arm grabs the kid...christ that was scary!!

when i, together with my friends, watched a horror movie and i accidentally stepped on my cat's tail when i got up to get some water and she let off a scream! boy!...i swear my hair went up as i let off a deafening scream louder than that of my cat. my friends made fun of me after that.:mad:
