Would you rather die in mundane/everyday circumstances, or doing something risky?

whirlpool

We're all gonna die. Or so they say. When your time comes, would you rather die from some everyday mundane occurrence like an illness or something you see in the news regularly? Or would you rather while taking a wild risk, like tightrope-walking across the Grand Canyon? Or whatever...

I would prefer to die of old age.

Yup, me too...but painlessly and with dignity. Edgy huh?

Sir Osis of Liver.

I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather.

Not like his three screaming passengers.

I want to be hit by a plane and a train at the same time.

Same as that. In my own bed, thanks.

Personally, I'd prefer not to die at all.

As long as I don't take a heart attack and die on the toilet, I'm not fussy.

Aint Eazy Being Cheezy

It's actually a tricky one. You'd like to say die doing something risky/exciting, but you don't want a fupping Darwin award either!

Maybe die doing something I love. Which means I'll probably choke on a bloody chicken fajita.

I refuse to die under anything short of setting off an international incident.

I want to be in a position that when I die, i will welcome and look forward to it, so if I'm 90 and dying of cancer i will say, yes now I want to die

I hate to think I will die before I really want to, I'm too nosy for that, I want to see what happens first

Either that or in a hot air balloon.

scruffy, dirty clothes not knowing what's around the corner.

Anyone else get a sudden chill when thinking about this?

One day it's all going to end for each and every one of us. And there's not a damn thing we can do about it.

Could be tomorrow, could be decades away...but it's coming. And this life that we love will be over.

Well that's cheered me right up!

Ah come on people are being boring.

Id love to go out in style (but in old age). I'm thinking like the ending to Gran Torino, except I wouldn't have just a lighter in my pocket!

Doesn't matter what you're wearing. You're going to piss and **** yourself when you die anyway.

Yeah well.....sorry!

I think about 'The End' every now and then....not quite comfortable with the idea just yet.

But then I think about the millions of people that have come and gone before me, and the countless people that never even lived to be the age I am now.

I just don't want to KNOW i'm dying. Terminal illness...the doctor telling me I have X months...slowly deteriorating and having to come to terms with the fact....

..:(

You'll only do that if you haven't emptied your bowels but if you haven't and when you die your muscles relax then you'll be dead you won't know or care.

I'm going to live forever.....or die trying..

Stop obsessing about it, when it happens it happens.

My granny used to have a prayer that she used to recite every day; it was a prayer for a happy death.
My grandad used to say to her "to hell with happy, just make it quick".


I'm with my grandad on that one!

B_Rabbit

It'd be pretty great to die saving someone you love.

I did say 'every now and then'!

Hardly obsessive. Some git had to go and make a thread about it and another 'now' was created!

I want to die doing something so perverse and visually spectacular that they name it after me.

I want to live to about 80 and to die by being shot by a jealous husband while making my escape after making love with his 25yo wife.;)

I think that only happens if you die by Electric Chair.

That's er.. one way to go!

DavyD_83

I want my death cert to say death by misadventure.
preferably when I'm old enough to die of natural causes though.

The One Who Knocks

As for me, I want to die knocking on heaven's door.

Stained Class

TBH, there were plenty of times I could have met my end when I was younger, doing risky things.

Looking back, I must have been somewhat brave or stupid back then.

Not the case now though, no Sirrriee!

The most boring, quiet & unspectacular death for me please & with salad on the side.

Quickly, painlessly and peacefully.

Man, I just watched the summit. Talk about a horrible way to go. In the wrong place at the wrong time and hit by falling ice.

Your body stuck on that mountain forever more.

And a glass of water on the side to wash it down!

Nothing fancy for me please, a quite passing with at least one person who cares about me present.

Just looking through the death notices on Wiki, that's how I want to go, famous enough (or infamous) for a reference on Wikipedia.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

I'm 25 now and I honestly don't expect to me around for long life. My boyfriend and best friend are convinced I'm gonna die young too, that I live too close to the edge.

However, watching my dad pass away, bravely battling an illness we knew he would never win, fighting up til the very end for his last breaths, trying so hard to hold a conversation with people he knew he should have known but didn't quite remember them.

Good suffering Jesus, no. I couldn't do that. I don't want to live a full long life and die of something that'll kill me slowly, leaving behind a family. I'm not brave enough or strong enough to accept an illness that'll make me die in my sleep or in a hospital bed hooked up to all sorts.

Best check out when I'm having fun, writing myself off and having nothing to lose.

I'll kill you, for a small fee, and then create a makey-uppey page just for you! Deal? PM for details. Trust me, I'll make it really dramatic!
