When was the last time you climbed a fence?

1. Hopped the chain link fence last week to play with neighbor’s dog. Can’t actually climb it, it would buckle under me.

2. Actually climbed, I was a teenager. I have 4 ft. goat fencing that I can essentially lift a leg over (push down on it a little), straddle it and then lift my other leg over it – going from one side to the other.

3. Yesterday. I have a part of the fence I need to put a gate in but its not a top priority.

4. Like 2 days ago.

5. Not last night. Wife and I were having dinner outside at a restaurant and I wanted to run back to my truck to get something. I thought about hopping the fence around the dining area to do it, but wasn’t sure if the fence was properly secured so I walked around. I was kinda bummed

6. Last Sunday I drove to my favorite mountain for sunrise. It’s where I go when in need of simple beauty and peace. I need to climb over a barbed wire fence to get to my “spot”. It was shown to me by the gentleman who owns the land several years ago. It’s his spot too. He’s in his mid-70s and has lived on the farm all his life. Over the years, he and I have sat quietly together as the sun rose.

7. Huh. Good question actually.
   Probably a couple years ago when my son didn’t get out of the pool in time. He was still in the changing area when I thought he was out already. We gave the key back to the office, went to leave before realizing he wasn’t with us. By the time we sorted out where he was the office people had left, taking the key with them.
   I ended up having to climb over the fence twice to get him. Almost broke my ankle on the way down

8. Climbed through a barbed wire fence a few weeks ago on a hike. I’m 67.

9. I’m too old for that shit. I just go under now.

10. Yesterday walking home from work because I was tired, didn’t bring my car and wanted to take a shorter path.

11. Probably with 13. There hasn’t been a need since then.

12. About 6-8 months ago when I lived in another state, our fence had a lock on it and I never had the key on my person, so I hopped it every time I needed to get past, which was a LOT

13. This morning. Couldn’t be arsed unlocking the front gate.

14. A month back or so I hopped a wall.

15. Some months ago to retrieve a volleyball

16. Right before I ditched that orange jumpsuit and swam across the river.

17. Last week, I have to climb my around 7 foot fence to hop into the backyard to get the spare key.

18. Maybe a decade and a half ago. I had to climb a wooden 6-foot fence to save my cat from a dog.
