Has anyone had a near death experience? Mine really woke me up to being constantly aware of what I'm doing even if it seems dumb.
>Be in ROTC at University
>forced to help clean up the football stadium as a punishment
>I ride in the back of a trailer pulled by a gator (industrial golf cart) and jump out to collect trash cans reeking of beer
>another guy is driving to the top level up the ramp and I am standing up in the trailer half paying attention
>Stadium was renovated and I had not been to the top levels before
>on the top level the ceiling is lower and the support beams are gradually lower but not an issue
>look up about 2 seconds before the next beam and its at head level and the tailgate is raised behind me.
>duck and narrowly avoid decapitation
nothing has scared me as much as almost dying in the back of a trash filled trailer. pic related

I've had so many I can almost see them coming and avoid them now. Too name a few.
>Been hit by a bus at a young age which gave me ptsd
>Almost robbed at knifepoint multiple times
>Almost been run up on by a gang of presumably armed guys while on a bus
>Avoided getting a bottle smashed in my head whilst in a rowdy crowd
>Almost got stabbed by another group of guys in the same rowdy crowd
The most recent happened this summer at 1.30am when I was in an abandoned car park in an unfamiliar area. Two seemingly local guys approached me and asked if I had the time.I instantly noticed that one guy had something kind of baton length wrapped in a black material. From experience I knew that asking for time was a trap usually used by robbers to see what kind of phone or watch you have. I calmly told them my phone was out of charge and they replied with "ours too". They started to walk on then stopped and came back and asked if I was a local (Heck no bitch I only came here for a music festival and got lost). From his mannerism and the way he said it I knew if I'd answered no I'd probably end up get beaten and robbed or worse. I told him I was a local (with a local accent which came so naturally out my mouth it shocked me) and he asked me for directions to a place where they could get food. I got the feeling it was a test but luckily I had wandered past a burger van earlier and told them where it was and they left.
Worst thing is I'm only turning 19 this December so have years of things left to experience.

You're either a black+hispanic mix guy who dresses half naked and wears dildo helmets, or you're a super paranoid/ delusional faggot
>>24981976
Nah I'm Black but I don't involve myself in gang activity. Literally just happens because I have to go through shitty areas to visit family.
>>24981898
It's never a good sign when someone is approaching you at 1:30 am.
You should get a CC provided that you don't live in a keked country
>>24981898
Where the fuck do you live senpai
>>24982025
>Nah I'm Black

The most recent one happened in Essex while I was trying to get a taxi to the station. I was shit scared that I was gonna end up on the news the next day as one of those guys found dead in an abandoned car park.

Hooked up with some chick in a bar in Phnom Penh, turned out she was the gf of the son of local local government minister. Guy saw uus making out, one of his bodyguards pushed the bar security outside and this kid drew a gun n me. Honestly thought I was going to die,, the government kids therecan get away with anything they want. Only country I've been to where being white doesn't make you impervious to harm.
A few years ago I went yachting with my family. Me and a few cousins took this paddle boat out like 5 miles from the yacht. A huge storm came almost out of nowhere and we had to swim for the yatch in the middle of huge waves. I almost drowned.
>I got thrown off a sailboat by a rope that wrapped around my neck when I was little.
>I almost got swept away when I was at the beach when I was little.
>I've had people pull a knife on me in high school
>I was run over and dragged by a car while riding my bike on the sidewalk when I was in high school
>I was hit by a car going over 35mph while crossing a street at an intersection when I was supposed to be crossing.
I think there are others, but that's all I can remember right now.
Also, not sure if it counts, but I was terrified of heights as a kid, and would sometimes be made to go in some rather precarious high up places. Such as a rusting rickety fire tower on top of a mountain.
