im just curious, because now today marks the fifth time iv almost become a hood ornament in a hybrid vehicle. let me explain, i swear to god whoever put the prius on earth put it here for the soul purpose of killing me. i work at a winn dixie, a grocery store that doesnt seem too popular outside of florida. while grabbing carts and being careful not to hit anyone or any car in the process, a man who looks like he was old enough to be in a museum blew past a stop sign and just barely stopped in time to realize a very small man pushing a caravan of shopping carts almost gave his car a new red paint job. so! anyone else had any near death experiences?

I stubbed my toe once.

well that blew mine straight out of the water and clear across town.

Was almost killed by some bloods when I was 12 years young.

They were messing around in front of the building I used to live in and well..I had to go home. When I walked up to the "thugs" they started messing with me and one of em pulled out a gun, put it right to my head and said "Why shouldn't I shoot you [censored]" To which I replied "Cause you've got some nice Jordans on and you wouldn't want blood on em". He started laughing and told me "I like this little [derogatory word], U crazy son" and they all walked off. I was glad they left cause I [censored] on myself an it started to smell.

Oh and, I almost killed myself on my motorcycle by going too fast in the rain.

Edit- I forgot to write the number. I've only been on deaths door twice.

would you still recommend a motorcycle as a valid form of transportation or are they still more dangerous than a prius?

Only once. When I was four, I thought it would be a cool idea to sit on a very small bike in front of a large truck that was about to start moving. Shortly after that, I had a sick battle with the truck and got dragged across the ground for several feet because I was stuck underneath it. I got a ton of gravel and rocks stuck in my hair, and my bike was broken. It quite svcked. I totally would have died if the people nearby didn't hear my screams and got the driver to stop.

Unfortunately, I didn't get any cool scars from that. Just a slight dent in the top of my skull. No bran damuge, though.

The only thing more dangerous than a Prius is a "smart" car. I'd take a motorcycle any day of the week.

yeah those things are crazy, how the hell do you buy one and think its a good idea?

Once when a truck slammed into the car I was in when I was like... two/three/four years old.

Once when a quad-runner flipped ontop of my 8/9 year old body.

Several times I have nearly killed myself from exposure. The worst was when I collapsed in the middle of a empty field on a hot day, having a good 20/30 minute trek to go before I could reach water.

Got hit by a car about two years ago. Probably wouldn't have killed me honestly, but who knows?

Had to save my girlfriend's tiny ass dog from getting run over about half a year ago by jumping infront of a really fast moving vehicle. He's fine, by the way.

Saved my girlfriend's life actually. We were crossing a crosswalk when this van came speeding toward us around 40-60 miles an hour. Had I not grabbed her and pulled her back right when I did, she probably wouldn't be alive today.

I guess MAYBE this can qualify... I dont' really think so, but I'll put it up anyways. Was walking home from school one day when I saw a ravenous, fairly big stray dog running around a busy street. I didn't want the damn thing to get killed, so I lured it to me with gummy bears. Then my dumb ass decides "Hey, why don't I reach my hand toward this dog's neck?" To be fair, I was trying to grab the collar and see if there was a phone number, but this dog understandably did not appreciate the gesture. Clamped onto my hand and started biting deep into it.

I don't think he was trying to kill me, just get me to [censored] off. Anyways, I had to give it a strong knee to the ribs to break free. The dog's owners came driving up like... half a minute later. Didn't even check to see if I was ok, just took the dog and went off. Chances are, that dog is somehow dead at this point.

Maybe I should stop nearly getting killed. I rather like being alive.

0. I stay inside most of the time and I don't do stupid [censored].

-Edit- Actually that's not true. I do stupid [censored], just not the kind that is likely to get me killed.

well if you continue living someone should give you a medal for extreme acts of badassery. the closest thing i can even compare anything on that list to is when i decided to tackle a dude in a match of football. he was 6'11 and right around 250 pounds. for reference im 5'4. worked pretty well actually, he stopped.

thats no fun, sometimes stupid [censored] just happens and you cant avoid it. maybe one day you'll be buying a new keyboard and the store you're in gets attacked by terrorists or something.

(dear god someone get that reference.....)

inb4 sinkhole opens up in your kitchen.

Lost count of the number of times my dad crashed because he was drunk with little me in the car, all those have been close calls with one a few of them ending up with me in the hospital.

Got mugged by a random drunk who got to stab me once before I got to disarm him.

According to well, all my family, I was kidnapped when I was a toddler over in Mexico, had I not let out a cry when they were searching for me, who knows where I would have been.

I was going to get attacked by a group of homophobes, who were desperate to show how manly they were and tried to beat me up. They did not count on me being able to defend myself, as well as a cop who was passing by the street. They were quickly all arrested.

Got shoved "Accidentally" off the roof by again a drunk dad, I landed just a few inches away from the very sharp scrap metal that was in our yard.

xD! That's some Final Destination thing right there.

Haha.

homophones?

Yup, they are crazy down here, you'll get attacked by two and too, sometimes carrot and carat. Heh darn phone auto correct, ah well not the most embarrassing typo this junk has done. it's fixed now.

Erm... because of my own driving: several times.

Because of other people's driving: about the same.

Because of being a miserable cow: also about the same.

Because of eating too many pies: once.

So I guess that adds up to approximately, er... several.

i cant count how many times french bread has nearly murdered me.

Won't suggest going to Heart Attack Grill then. I had chest pains the first and only time I ate there.

More like someone should give me a medal for "surviving fatally stupid situations."

I used french bread as a baseball bat before. [censored] is deadly.

Don't go sky diving.

I should totally do that! And mine were in my back, curiously. I ignored them until they became excruciating...

Pansy. I broke a toe once.

Nearly broadsided by a truck while riding my pushbike everyday this truck driver would drive through the intersection i had to cross and when they saw me they sped up trying to hit me.

Nearly broadsided by a car while riding my pushbike.

Shot at more than once .

Falling off a cliff.

Getting caught in an undertow and dragged down in the ocean and nearly drowning.
