I can't believe I did THAT
10 years ago
The year is almost over, and you know what that means.
Other than my Birthday is coming (January 1st), it's time for me to ask you to share your stories.
I do care about them, and I would love to hear whatever you want to share.
The title is: "I can't believe I did THAT and I will NEVER do it again"
Me first:
About 3 years ago I was visiting a friend in Pittsburgh and we rented a car. I was driving it on the highway and I had this fucking brilliant idea "how fast can this car go?" Do yourself a favor, just don't do something so stupid in your life. As soon as I reached more than 90MPH (about +150KPH) I realized......... dafuq am I doing?
If a policemen would have saw me, it's jail. I don't think they would even fine me. Or maybe both.
I cannot believe I did that, and yes you bet I would never do it again.
Stay safe! happy Holidays!

Nobody remembers my Birthday, I have to remind people (even my parents if you can believe that)
And guess what? Nobody has money for gifts. Everybody is drunk or too happy.
I'll also say, Happy Birthday!
It may be the stereotype, but my guess is that you were lucky.
Again, it may be a stereotype.
Never doing that again.
Let's not even consider being allergic to wasps, it would be like messing up with cobras and be like "Plus I'm allergic to cobra's venom"
Would you consider doing that with other kind of insects? Ants or worms?
At the time, I guess my pride got the better of me then.
Only other insects I've had to deal with were ants, mosquitoes, spiders, millipedes and flying ants. I only get rid of those whenever they're indoors. I don't mind if they're outside.
Aw man, I will never do that!
I just... can't!
I'm sure you won't use bottle rockets again, I take?

Would you ever do it again? :D
"Totally not illegal job offer"
One day, I was driving along a busy freeway, minding my own business, playing Soulfly and trying to sing (mostly by growling) along, when out of nowhere this crazy-person ZOOMS up to my rear. I can't quite merge over into the lane nearby me, since there's a steady line of cars residing on it and they're all bumper-to-bumper - about five, maybe six in a row. So instead, I continue to cruise along, no problem. When I get a chance, I click on my turn-signal and scoot over onto the passing lane (since I'm traveling on the slower, outside lane) to let this person by. She BARREL-ROLLS literally right by me, damn-near knocking my side-view mirror out of focus. I was traveling at a steady 70MPH (since the speed limits are all basically set at 65) and she was easily topping off at 95-100 - a TOTAL blur to me. I regarded her, said "what a dumb-ass" out loud and continued driving along in the inner-most passing lane, with a trail of cars behind me and nobody at all in front of me, other than Speedy Gonzales herself.
So no more than five, maybe ten seconds go by and suddenly everyone behind me begins to swerve over, making a heavy-duty effort to move back onto the right lane. I wonder what's going on with them, maybe there's an ambulance approaching and they're just yielding to its passing, perhaps. Almost at once, police sirens go off and there's blinking red and blue lights behind me. My heart sinks and my knees quiver, thinking "Oh crimony, these jerks are pulling me over. Oh GOD, oh GOD, oh GOD. Great!!!" I get a chance to merge into the slow-lane and as I do, instead of instantly becoming tailed by a cruiser, FOUR CARS jam-ass past me, all Highway Patrol vehicles, all sheriffs and all blaring their sirens and flashing their lights. They all pass me and go driving like men on a mission further down the road. By now, my heart is settling into place and I'm checking my boxers for any unwanted shock-defecation. They weren't going for me... they were going for somebody else. Maybe Ms. Mayhem? Not sure.
I reach my off-ramp and just a few hundred yards before I turn off, THEY'VE ALL GOT HER PULLED OVER WITH GUNS DRAWN!!!!!!!! >8D I believe I may have stalled her desperate escape from the long arm of the Law without even realizing it until I saw that exact same car, pulled over, door open and what might have been a body (hers, perhaps) laying on the front seat. Three guys had pistols, two had shotguns and one had a bullhorn megaphone barking out orders. This sight.... gave me the most sensational feeling of self-righteousness.
<3
Later on that evening, after I paid my buddy and came home safely, I watched the 6pm news and they talked about a local bank robbery that resulted in a long, drawn-out high-speed pursuit that eventually came to an end... RIGHT NEAR MY OVERPASS.
You're welcome, fellow law-upholding officers.
lol
I know people can be paranoid about cops, that's a totally natural reaction... but DAMN, this woman? >83
She cranked the intensity-level up a few notches, no doubt.
I am glad nothing happen to you.
How long ago was this?
Yeah, I was worried about her hitting me. Luckily those cops caught up with her though! It was severely gnarly, like being an extra in a fast-paced action movie. lol
I might have found the answer recently, I guess. I already saw somebody speed up to 170 with her warning lights blinking and was keeping on honking, I wondered if it was some mom or dad with their child agonizing or something rushing to the hospital. So I guess it's probably for emergencies, and I hope that car didn't have anything wrong or caused any accident.
To have the power to accelerate quickly means you have the power to go fast as well.
If you rent a car nowadays, most of them will have 'governors' that kick in around 90-95 mph. As you get up to that speed suddenly the gas will cut out and you'll slow down. so even though the car could get up to 110-120 mph, the rental agency won't let you.
About stories... i never did a "dafaq am i doing" kind of thing as i tend to be very careful about anything, but one thing my friends seem to find impressive is that i travel alone most of the time.
Most of the people usually travel with at least one friend, i usually do it on my own. The reason about this is because everything i want to do always clashes with everyone else's needs and it's always been like that, i wanted to play a shooting game ? No ! my friends decided to play a football game ! I wanted to watch a sci-fi movie ? ! No ! My friends decided horror... And it's the same with travels, i want to see my furiends, my friend wants to see places, so in order to do what i want i have to do it on my own, and it's the same about trips ^^;
You know what they say: "Want something done well ? Do it yourself !" ^^;
Well, the car example was just to share a little bit of my stupidity. That was 3 years ago after all, almost 4 years ago actually.
I feel there most be things less extreme than driving a car.
Greetings from Germany °J°/
Also i squeezed myself onetime with my car between 2 car on a crossing. Should i do that again... And especially not while driving 60kph...
So where is the part of "I will never do it again?" Hahahahaha!
So embarrassing. Glad nothing else happen.
I think I recall the friend with the paw tatoos... wasn't he German?
One of those very young students that go to University ahead of his time?
Yes no maybe?
But then they found me and apparently they forgot about me. Mainly since they got kicked out of the building for playing in that kids area, You know the one with all the connecting tubes. Well they were goofing off in there and got busted and kicked out. Once they got me we decided to hang outside for a bit. The store was located on one of those big parking lots that shared many stores, you know where they are side by side and have an alleyway in the back.
Well we went to the alleyway and goofed off, finding a nice couch to chill on. Well we found matches and started to play around with them. After a while we called for a ride and as we were leaving we passed the alley. To our horror we found that the couch we found was on fire. We said nothing until we got back and in private. We said we'd never speak of it again. We had no idea what happened after we left.
A couch on fire, that sounds really great! XD
I was at download rock festival at least 8 years ago give or take.
The first two days of this 5 day rock event are spent drinking.
On the first night I drank 6 litres of cider, a bottle of rose wine, a small bottle of rose, half a box of white wine, with some prawn mayo sandwich and a double cheeseburger as food.
Needless too say my tent suffered the consiquence, I cleaned up with baby wipes but couldn't sleep in there so had too take a 45 minute walk back too my car and sleep there..it was the best sleep of the week I'll give it that.
But I'd never drink that much again.
Something like that can kill someone, holy crap man!
But yeah, I know the feeling.
I think we all have sleep drunk in a car at some point.
What is the part you would never do it again?
Drink or sleep in a car all drunk? :D
Hah I'll gladly sleep in my car again..but I'll never drink that much again...but I'll still drink :P
Okay a story I suppose, When I was a kid I Was out camping with scouts doing some model rocket launches. Me
and some other kids had the bright idea to make a super rocket. We took a normal rocket and taped 4 D-engine rockets. Which are on the larger side of spectrum. We had 5 launch keys and tried to time the launch at the same time
to send it super high. BUT
The damn Frankenstein rocket exploded sending rocketing engines all over the place and burnt the crap out of my leg.
Do you still have scars on your legs?
