what’s the scariest thing you’ve ever done?

20 comments

1. Got married and had kids.

2. Sex

3. There’s difference between what I did that others would consider scary and something that scared me that others might not consider scary.

   Scariest thing for me: walking through infestations of cockroaches and bedbugs

   Scariest thing I did that others would consider scary but wasn’t for me (at the time): swim out into the open ocean while unknowingly bleeding

4. Today hitting my ex woth my car while being remorseful about it I still thunk he deserved it

5. First day of high school. I have some crazy anxiety and going into a school that had 18 year olds when I was 14 was beyond terrifying.

6. Scuba dive with huge sharks, but Grey Nurse sharks, so look very viscious but harmless.

7. Reproduced

8. Bang this chick I didn’t know who wanted to fuck at a party without a condom.

   Good month of panic.

9. Flew a Cessna 152 under a set of telephone wires back in the 90s

10. I drove my mom’s car with nearly-bald front tires during a pretty bad storm. I was going like 10 or 15 MPH under the speed limit, and I still hydroplaned halfway into the other lane or onto the shoulder every time the road curved. I couldn’t even hit the gas hard enough to maintain speed up a hill without breaking traction.

    It was just barely drizzling when I got on the highway. Once it really started raining a few minutes later, I took the next exit and sat in a parking lot until the rain stopped. A few weeks later, I made the same drive in even worse rain with brand new tires and I was totally fine, even going significantly faster than I had been with the bald tires.

    Before that happened, I “knew” that bald tires were bad (as in I had read/been told about it), but that day I really learned why.

11. Switched seats with a woman.
    Less than an hour later she was killed in a truck wreck. Passenger side crushed and engulfed in flames. Driver had bruised ribs but he was fine.
    I had gone to ride in a different truck.

12. Walking into the room where my father just passed away.

13. I was doing drugs at the time. I used to do robitussin. I found the drug in robitussin in a pill form. I popped 26 of them at once. My friend said I stood up and started mumbling. Then I dropped to the floor like a rock. Woke up in a hospital and then passed out. Woke up in a mental hospital

14. Stabalized a young girls spine in an overturned car with a leaking gas tank. Horrible rollover car wreck.

    She lived and only suffered minor spinal damage.

15. White water rafting.

16. Had lumbar punctures.

17. Rode my 1600cc V-twin Cruiser down Mt Hood in a blizzard in March…storm came outta nowhere. Had to get down the mountain or spend the night in that shit.

18. Servicing my country. And, yes, totally worth it (not at first).

19. Got a combination of bj and hj from my gf while I was driving my car on a fairly busy road in broad daylight.

20. Sheeeit, probably opened my arm up vertically from wrist to elbow with a blunt knife.

    Schizophrenia is one hell of a drug
