It involved danger, high voltage, touching and kissing, touching & kissing again with a side order of electric six.

Manflu survivor.

Gran Hermano

I started a thread asking people about their experiences without posting my own.
The apathy nearly killed me.

girl in the striped socks

I was driving & an articulated lorry was overtaking another articulated lorry but hasn't quite built up enough speed to get past quickly.
I still don't know how we avoided crashing because there was no where for either of us to go on the road.

And then there's the usual drunken stories about falling down the stairs & not breaking my neck or getting a lift home off a taxi driver that actually wasn't a taxi driver but in fact a stranger.

I went to Coppers one night by accident.

Canis Lupus

Cycling solo in Burkina Faso. Took a break, rolled bike down an embankment, plonked it by a tree. I had my earphones in so my first thought was, hmmm, lots of flies here.

Then I looked and realised I'd just put my handlebars through a beehive.

Trying to get a fully loaded touring bike up an embankment whilst being stung by bees (they go for your face/ears/eyes/mouth the f*ckers) left me close to sobbing. What's worse is after maybe a km of cycling I got off to compose myself and about 5 minutes after stopping they found me again! I didn't get back off the bike for a good 30 mins.

It's funny when people ask me weren't you scared being alone in Africa what with all the lions, tigers, rampaging gazelles and gun totting children and I have to reply with bees...... bees made me nearly cry...

I fell out of the twin towers. Some ****er flew a plane into my office

Nope, ICA monthly.

Lived in a basement apartment in a dodgy area in Boston. A drive-by happened outside and our place got riddled with bullets, luckily they were above height as I ran into the hallway to see where the noise was coming from

I almost got hit by a bus a couple of times.

Who are you talking to right now? Who is it you think you see? No, you clearly don't know who you're talking to, so let me clue you in. I am not in danger OP, I AM the danger! A guy opens his door and gets shot and you think that of me? No. I am the one who knocks!

Fcuk off, I'm busy. Next time, call ahead, then ring the bell.

I once met Col. Mustard in the ballroom and he was carrying a candlestick. Managed to get out of dodge.

Stained Class

Slid off my motorbike on an icy road & got seperated from it. A lorry coming up behind couldn't stop & ran over the bike missing me by inches.

A few years later I crashed into a house with my car & went thru the windscreen. Nearly bled to death.

Nearly drowned in the sea as a kid........

Jeez, I'd better stop now before I use up all my lives.

A poorly designed and constructed origami **** aid I would assume.

Bob the Seducer

I have little recollection of this, but apparently when I was very young I absconded from under the watchful eye of my parents at the circus.

I was found a couple of minutes later 'taking a look at the elephants' wherever they were being kept out the back. Needless to say, small children and large circus animals probably shouldn't have too many social interactions and I believe my parents informed me quite strongly of this fact when they caught up with me.

My house went on fire while I was asleep. . . I was also in my mothers car while she was driving ...

blacklilly

Came very close to drowning in Spain, was a good swimmer but the current was so strong I lost all energy, was a bit chaotic but whoo I survived.
Also one very very drunken night I keeled over at the top of a stair case, my head crashed against the wall at the bottom, all I could hear was people saying "sh*t I think she's dead" until I lifted my arm to give then the all clear. My whole body was bruised from the experience. The lesson I've learned? Sit down while drunk it'll save you a lot of pain.

....myself and my sister were walking out from the City towards our home when we met a pair of hiking tourists and walked along with them for a while. We, myself and my sister, went into a shop the while the hikers walked on...
....a few minutes later we emerged from the shop and to our horror saw a car crash into the two hikers at high speed, killing one and badly injuring the other.

We would have been in the crash if we hadn't decided on an impulse buy in the shop.

I was in such a panic that I ran/walked to a nearby hospital looking for help while my sister kept her head, went back into the shop and instructed the staff to phone the emergency services for help....

I once awoke in Newcastle west, enough said.

Sitting on a train, in the middle of the night. Suddenly 15 Skinheads came in, looking at me...kind of scary that was

ElChe32

Attacked by a drug user in Peru, bout 8 hours outside Lima, pulled a knife on my gringo ass..I don't think he expected Paddy to hand him a knuckle sandwich instead of a wad of cash. Scared the ****e out of me though.

When I was about 6 I got my shoe lace stuck in the bottom of an escalator in Blackrock shopping centre. It made me fall and then started to pull me into it.

Thankfully there was a guy behind me who grabbed my foot and reefed it back out.

I often wonder what would have happened if he hadn't been there.

McChubbin

Would've died in a head on collision with a caravan when I was 10 had my dad not slammed on the brakes in time. I was wearing a seatbelt but I still ended up with a severe case of whiplash. Incidently, most of my near-misses have been in my dad's car. Ahhh, the joys of drink driving alcholic parents... -__-

Another near miss happened back when the Luas first started operating. Myself and the boyfriend at the time were walking down O' Connell Street when, on a whim, we both decided to pop into the Cafe Kilmore for a cuppa. We'd barely sat down when there was a loud bang followed by screaming. We looked out the window and saw that a tram had plowed right into a bus. Had we not stopped for tea, we probably would've been killed crossing the street. I was badly shaken for about a week afterwards.

A Brasser in Tanzania offered to suck "parts of my body", and my brother who lived there made a bet with me that of the 12 or so brassers in the pub that night he reckoned only 2 didn't have the virus, and it was african roulette to find the one that didn't, I was very close to being fukced to death

Ever wonder where Dennys Sausages come from?
