I was home alone at 12 and realized I left my house's glass door unlocked. as I went to lock it, I saw a man staring at my house then walk away. IDK what could have happened, but it was terrifying.
Holy shit that is scary
can you imagine being a female and running away from someone? then when you hide in a ally behind trash cans he walks past the ally and you think you're safe, but he comes back and you stab him? been there
That “funding” story. I taught computer basics in a job readiness nonprofit where a lot of the staff, especially upper levels, didn’t really understand how computers worked. One idiot manager gets fired, and on her way out deletes all the documents related to the funding report due the next week that paid all our salaries. Everyone is running around like chickens without heads, till the receptionist, my best student, an intern, asked “Did anyone check her computer recycle bin?” Saved the day, hired on the spot nice salary and rapidly rose to office manager by the time I left 3 years later. So proud!
Mine was when I joined the military, I was 18, so, obviously not at the legal drinking age. I had gone out with my bf on a friday night while in Tech school and we went to a club and he was of age and got tipsy. He and our friends offered me shots, and I almost took one, but knew I had to to go back to base, so I was like...hmmm, maybe not. They all tried to convince me(they were drunk so I forgive them lol) that they rarely did breathalyzer tests, so just to go for ut. I refused and guess what? Me and twenty other underage airmen got breathalyzed as soon as we got back to base. They had to randomly pick 20, and I was #20.
LOL at America's ridiculous legal drinking age. You can buy guns but you can't drink alcohol. Strange country.
Yea I think it might have to do with the time when we actually banned alcohol outright and ending up making the alcohol problem even worse. That was WAY long ago but yeah, The U.S. is still a relatively young country
@@AA-hg5fk you can't buy guns under 21 in the United States.
@@reddawnstudios2016 Yes you can in some states.
Blame Mother's Against Drunk Driving. Because of military personal coming home from Vietnam and still not being able to buy a beer because they were not yet 21, the laws were changed to allow 18 year-olds to buy alcohol. Then there were studies shown that most of the drunk driving fatalities were committed by drunk drivers who were under 21. So they changed it back. I think Wyoming was the last state to allow those under 21 to buy alcohol in the early 1990s... and they only changed it to 21 because the Feds were going to withhold their federal highway money unless they did. Frankly, I think they should lower the drinking age again, but make the penalties for drinking and driving much more severe... like a first offense results in the loss of a license for several years.
There was a teacher at my old high school who had been there for 10+ years. He was in charge of the yearbook and if I remember correctly taught digital art/photography. He was well liked by everyone. About a year after I graduated he was taken in by police during a class for child p*rn. Everyone was shocked. Upon further investigation it turned out that his 30 something son who lived with him was the one that had actually been doing it and using his (the teacher's) computer for it. I don't know if the teacher still works at the school, but I can only imagine how badly his life was turned upside down. First his name and career were tarnished, decades worth of trust in the community ripped to shreds and then to find out his son was so twisted and had caused it all must've cut him so deeply. I feel so bad for him.
Yea easy to condemn anyone.
A guy I once knew was found to have a load of child abuse pictures in his laptop. He was a bit scatty and not the most popular guy, and I've wondered ever since whether he was a real prevert or someone set him up.
This is kind of small, but earlier this year when the schools were still in session and the second semester started, I was in a history class that had a teacher that was god awful with the work she gave, like, on the first day of that class everyone got a pile of work to do and we were given calendars of everything we would do throughout the semester.
After about a week in that class, I talked to the guidance councillor to see if there were any better options I could switch to, and there was a food class open. I switched to that food class which I was only in for a few weeks until the schools closed in March.
So basically, I had saved myself from doing hours and hours of online work by switching classes.
Surprised nobody took a shot at responding to this.
I remember being in a similar situation back in Highschool, when the school hadn't been able to get the teacher for this history class we were attending. They swapped us around several teachers, but one of them fit the description you gave to a T: Unbearable amounts of work, not enough time to do any of it in, but it didn't count against us if we showed up with very little done. All of us being dilligent little students, we couldn't just give a half-shrug of an effort, and we b*tched to everyone about it, even the teacher. No change. When we did get some relief from the qualified teacher, we were so glad to have gotten back to a sane workload that we never complained after that.
If only I'd thought to ask about taking other classes instead, or what my options were at the time. I could have gotten out of that nightmare and bargained to make it up in Summer school instead. D:

I was driving down the Pavement road, approaching my destination. All of a sudden Warning signs start happening and I decide to drive farther to the side of the road. Missed a bullet by just a few feet. Managed to get 3rd on moon view highway
So in this case this was a literal bullet dodged

Was visiting my neighbor, who was burning trash in a barrel behind his shop. At a certain point, he goes into his home. Says he’ll be back shortly. He wasn’t. Eventually I’m sick of twiddling my thumbs and begin walking home. Maybe twenty paces into my walk, my neighbor exits his house. Right at that moment I heard a low bursting sound... like a bomb in the distance, and turn to see the contents of the barrel fired ten feet into the air, all of it landing right where I stood. This wasn’t just trash, but also several thick logs to make sure everything turns to ash. Three square feet’s worth and maybe forty pounds. Turned out his young son put a #10 can of soup or broth in the garbage, which caused the explosion

BULLET FRICKING DODGED.
Mission accomplished
The other night I was leaving work and was really tired. My car has Bluetooth so I was on the phone with my boyfriend friend I saw cop lights come on. I pulled over and hung up with my boyfriend while collecting my documents when I realized I had left my driver’s license in my other pair of pants. All I had with my picture on it was my Costco card and the only government issued ID I had was my SIN card (if you’re American it’s the Canadian equivalent of your social security card). I apologized to the cop and explained the situation. The cop took my Costco card and SIN card back so he could punch in the info. The cop came back to my car and informed me he had pulled me over because I forgot to turn my lights on but decided to let me off with a warning. He informed me that not have my lights on could be a fine of about $150 and not having my license on my person would be a $250 fine not to mention the demerits I would have received. So happy that he decided to be nice and let me off with a warning instead of making me pay $400 plus put me at risk of having my license suspended (not sure how many demerit points that would have been but it probably would have been high).

Wait canada issues SIN cards??? All i got was a document
@@ma_kal I don’t think they issue the actual cards anymore. My card is from over a decade ago
Had a job at a call center but my gut told me to walk away. Quit after the first day. One week later the police came after them and shut them down for being an illegal M.L.M. and questioned all the employees when the "owners" were charged with fraud and embezzlement.
Girl after my high school graduation pursued me aggressively during project graduation outta nowhere and tried to get it on. I almost picked the low hanging fruit but didn’t. So she dropped me. Saw her a year later as I picked up friends after school to go watch a movie. She was holding a six month old, so doing the Aggie math in my head; yeah dodged a bullet. Guess she thought I was daddy material.
This was right before I turned 15, over a decade ago.
My family has a really big separated garage, looks more like a barn, honestly. We'd had an old air compressor that something went wrong in it, it exploded, and there was a fire in the garage. It's very well insulated and, at the time, had pretty much no ventilation, so the fire died out before we ever even realized it had started. Like, we think we found it two or three days later. We were later told if we'd opened it before it was snuffed out entirely, it may have formed a vacuum, sucked in air, and exploded. So, first bullet dodged there.
The second came when we were cleaning it. My dad worked for a company that handled a lot of different materials for building and they were going to throw out sheets of countertop glass, so my dad convinced them to let him take them home. Now, these sheets are about 3/4" thick, 4'x3', and 170 pounds each. As my dad and sister's then current boyfriend are carrying these from one area to another, my job, as the overweight 14-year old, is to just hold them up. Not a hard job, considering they're leaning against a wall. And then ten of them started to tip over. I start yelling and trying to push them back into place, Dad and the boyfriend rush over and start trying to push them, but we're fighting a losing battle. My dumb ass is thinking more about the kind of punishment I'll get if these break, so I'm not hearing my dad tell me to get away.
Through the efforts of the other two, we managed to slow it down enough that they did not crash to the ground. My dad even shoved his recently healed from a break leg half under the glass and almost de-gloved his leg. In the fall backwards, I landed on my hand funny and broke it. And then 1700 pounds of glass were laying on top of me. I've been told by my sisters and mom that when they heard me scream, they thought it was a joke. And then it continued. And continued. The boyfriend managed to grab some 4x4s and made a lever to lift it. I shoved myself about half out and it dropped again with my heel in my mid-thigh. At this point, the girls had rushed out and when the glass was lifted again, they managed to drag me out from under the glass.
Thinking back on this later, if they'd been a few more feet away or hadn't responded as quickly to my yells, I'd have been the human equivalent of a tube of toothpaste hit by a hammer. These sheets came up to mid-chest on my 5'2" frame. I got away with a broken hand, a pelvis that was shattered on one side, and a ball of muscle in the middle of my left thigh that still hasn't healed right. So I'd say I'm pretty lucky in the long term. I'm gonna go see if I can contact my sister's ex and thank him again, and then I'm gonna call my dad and tell him how much I love him.
12:40 God, even if they dodged that bullet that has got to be so hard. The one person you think is on your side trying to help you with a terrible home life, only to find out he was a predator. Poor OP, hope they're doing better now.
Literally dodged a bullet by taking the bus and not walking once
I had a teacher who was charged for grooming and sleeping with a student. He was the most popular teacher, he was the type of dude that felt like a 2nd Dad. He was actually married and had 2 kids in elementary school. Out of everyone outside my immediate family, I would trust this teacher if he told me the sky was purple instead of blue. I would never thought he was doing anything like that. One of my older grade friends had to move towns because she ended up pregnant with him and got the instant blame from the students cause they wouldn’t believe the teacher was the one that was grooming her and others, she had to have seduced him or black mailed him. I tried my best to make her feel better but as a very very shy 14yr old, I wasn’t very much help.

From September to October 2019 my mental health took a serious nose dive to the point where I almost did I could never take back. Luckily, I finally told my parents instead and after hearing the severity of the situation told me I could finish out the semester and then take some time off. So I did. And I was happy for the first time. I’m sure you all can imagine my relief come March 2020 came around
ua-cam.com/video/S1KhD-DhsOI/v-deo.html
Which is my birthday 😀
March past self!
definitely sort of had the same happen to me. I withdrew from my old high school back in late 2019 due to my mental health being at its lowest, and got homeschooled. That was a bit stressful too, but relieving. But by the time early 2020 came around, I had already been withdrawn from homeschooling too to move to another state and another school wayyy out of town, and on top of that, March 2020 helped out a lot with this. Now it's 2022 and I heard some stuff about my old hometown school going down. Never been happier though!
Oh I got a weird one. About a year a 2 ago I was messing around with some HMEs (Home Made Explosives) by using a mechanical pencil, hot glue, gun powder/smokeless powder, and a fuse. After my cousin put it together we decided to cover it in shot BBs. I went out to a nearby corn field and leaned it on one of the tilled portions and lit the fuse. I barely got my back foot off the ground and turned my back to it before it went off. I turned around with a ringing ear and checked myself for holes that weren't there naturally. Luckily I later noticed that it was leaned just the right way so it shot off in a safe direction.
Ok but why are you making explosives???
I'm glad you didn't get hurt. That could have ended really badly.

On the way home from one of my former jobs, I had two options to get home: a small, two lane highway that took a few minutes longer but less distance; and a large, 4 lane highway that was longer distance but took less time. I usually took the bigger highway because I wanted to get home sooner. One night, my car wouldn't start after work for like 10 minutes, and I was about to call for help when the car suddenly started. Thinking this could be a problem, I decided to take the small highway home. Car did just fine and I made it home no problem, but later found out that there was a pile up on the big highway and if my car had started and I had taken the highway home, I would have been in it. That was a sobering experience.
Similar happened to me. Had to use a carpark for work which was sometimes used by another business; apparently they were having some big shindig and I was parked in. Usually I was out of work on the dot, a few minutes to the car, and off into the traffic and then onto the highway. Not this day. Spent about 10 minutes trying to find someone to find the person who'd parked me in. Cranky because I was now 20-30 minutes behind my usual schedule. Got into local traffic okay, but the highway was pretty much blocked off; there'd been a huge pileup involving multiple lanes about 25 minutes before. It was therefore quite possible I would have been caught up in the errors that were made and resulted in about five cars being dinged. I don't think anyone got seriously injured but it was very busy with responders; police, ambulance and fire truck. A really big mess. Avoided. Thanks random party goer 🙂

My mom and I were driving home from the store and Mom randomly decided to stop at a yard sale because why not. We browsed, saw nothing we liked, and headed home... to find a nasty car accident had just happened at an intersection not far from our home. I'm convinced that if we hadn't stopped at that yard sale, we would have been caught up in that accident.

Around 9-10 I was going to cross the road to get my mom's mail. I walked out in the street and heard a car, but I was looking the opposite direction from where it was coming. I decided to go back to my mom from fear. Seconds later, the car came. Bullet damn dodged

Not me, but I helped my brother dodge a bullet when we were in high school. My brother had fallen in with a bad crowd. This gang of reprobates at his high school (we went to different schools by high school) brought him into their gang, and they wanted him to go with them to rob an electronics store.
I found out about their plan (but I didn’t know where nor did I know which store they were specifically planning to rob) and I locked him in the pool house so he couldn’t go with them to rob that store. They tried to rob the store without him, one of them tried to bypass the alarms but messed up and they all got caught by the police. Had my brother gone with them, he would have been jailed along with them. My brother is very grateful to me for that to this day.
I remember being at a con, was going to McDonald's to grab dinner but changed my mind at the last moment and went to the pub opposite it. I heard sirens and later on heard guys with guns had descended on McDonald's. Bullet. Dodged.
Yeah lol I have a few, but this was the first, my mother was driving, I was behind her with my brothers next to me, I dont remember where we were coming from but I remember that we were close to home, so I took off my seat belt, cause that's what 5 yo me did, I dont recall what happened after I took my seat belt off, but a drunk driver t boned us and took off at 8AM, hit a few other cars, but cause I took my seat belt off, I was not crushed, in stead I flew into my brothers, looking at the paper clipping and picture of the car twenty three years later, I'm glad I always knew my surroundings and took that seat belt off, I dodged a big bullet and am not a pancake, cause that car hit right where I was sitting and, pushed from right behind the driver's door, into the trunk, right where I would have been, if I was wearing the seat belt
One time when I was in high school my family and I were going shopping. My mom decided to take the truck instead of our little car because she said she had a feeling that it would be safer. Next thing you know a guy rear ends us at full speed at a stop light. The front of is car was totalled, while our old truck barely got a dent. We're lucky the most we got was mild whiplash. If we had taken our little car it would have been so much worse.

To add two stories to the Aurora shooting. My brother dodged a bullet because that was the year we decided it was finally time to visit our family back in South Carolina. The second was that his friend also dodged a bullet because he was short by a dollar. So him and his mom just went home and ate a pizza.
This one is pretty minor, but my parents and I were on our way to Maryland last Thursday for a vacation. We stopped for sandwiches at a place near our house before we went. A couple hours later we heard that there was a shooting right near where we were. It was after a funeral and only person was killed so I doubt we would have been in danger.
20:32 ~ This guy didn't learn a damn thing! Took zero responsibility for his actions. Got a lucky break in Life that he absolutely did not deserve.
Literally happened today, i was sat in a lecture in the front row. my professor had found some wooden stick about 2 1/2 meters long with screws in that had fallen off the wall at some point. at one point, he was demonstrating the use of a fishing rod (don't ask why we were talking about that in English) when the about a meter broke off the top. it proceeded to fly towards me, bounce off the ground a foot in front of me and he caught in the same hand that was holding the rest of it. both impressive and terrifying. Bullet= dodged.
I was an assistant manager at a hotel in a major city and due to budget buts I was stuck working the front desk. I was only about 22 but had been working in hotels all through college and had done everything--I was very used to being the only employee in the building, and very used to having to go into guests' rooms to change sheets, unclog toilets, fix phones and TVs, whatever. It happened all the time, and if there was an official policy about going alone into a room with a guest, it was unofficially ignored because you had to do what you had to do. So I checked a man in and about 30 minutes later he comes down to the desk and says the phone in his room isn't working. I was annoyed and assumed it had come unplugged during vacuuming which happened occasionally, so I put the sign out on the desk and go up to the room with him. The phone is on the desk, which is on the wall directly across from the door, so I cross the room and pick up the phone. There's a dial tone. I press zero and it starts to ring at the desk. I'm annoyed again and I think, "wtf, there's nothing wrong with this ph--" and then I realize. There's nothing wrong with the phone, and he knows it, and now he knows I know it, and I'm all the way inside the room and he is too and the door has closed behind us. You know how people say they felt their blood run cold? I felt that--I felt like I had been dropped into a tank of freezing water. I'm the only employee in the building and it's a weeknight so there aren't a lot of guests anyway; my shift doesn't end for several more hours, so no one is coming. I know what all the cameras see and I'm imaging it: the man comes to the desk and talks to me, I put the sign out and go with him to the elevators. The cameras pick us up again getting off on his floor, we turn down the hall toward the right, and that's it. There's no camera on the hallway to see which room I went into. Even if there were, I took his ID when he checked in but who knows if it's real? Even if they knew what room I went into and what name it was registered under, who knew if it would lead anywhere? I am stupid, I was thinking, I am so stupid, I can't believe I just walked right in here and let the door close behind me. He's going to rape me and strangle me and I'm going to leave this room in a suitcase, no one is going to see me come out, and he'll dump me on the side of the highway somewhere and maybe no one will ever even find me. This is the last place I'll ever be. My mother isn't going to know what happened to me.
All of this happened in my head in a moment, and I'm still standing there with the phone in my hand, heart pounding, with my back to him. I imaging he's waiting for me to turn around and then he's going to grab me. So I slowly turn, and I'm surprised to see that he isn't standing within reaching distance of me. I smile and say that everything seems to be okay, and he smiles back and just says, "Oh, okay." Just like that. So I hurry past him and run to the stairwell, take the stairs 2 at a time back down to the lobby. There's a door to the desk area that was usually propped open, we never closed it, but I pulled out the prop, swiped the front desk key to make sure it was locked, and pulled it closed, then sat down in a corner and sobbed. I don't know if he was planning to hurt me and chickened out, but I know I've been alone in guest rooms plenty of times and never felt what I felt right then. I knew something was wrong, I knew something was going on. I called my boyfriend to leave work and come sit with me for the rest of my shift because I was so scared that the man had just chickened out and might make another attempt, and I was afraid to be alone. I'll never forget that feeling of *knowing* something horrible was about to happen to me.
The funny part about being a rocker at my school was no one knew, except for my friends that were rockers too. Someone asked me what I was listening to, and I replied, "The Vengeful One". They said okay and passed it off as normal rock. Until they came to me the next day looking all shocked and asked me, "you like metal"? Yes, yes I do.
I was driving on a highway when a storm suddenly intensified. All traffic was stopped and I was talking to my fiend in the car. All of a sudden, something flew past the windshield at head level. I thought it was a tree branch because it looked a bit green, though it was a blur. Once the storm ended and traffic started moving, we drove past a sign that had fallen off of the highway. It was one of the green signs and was in pieces. If that part of the sign was 6 inches closer, it would have gone through the windshield and possibly my face.
I was in a car accident a few months ago, my bf and I were in the back seats and usually I sit in the middle but that day I sat on the far left because my bf wanted to use the aux cord for music, we got t boned on the right. I would’ve got nearly all the impact from a car going 50 miles but my bf fluffy so he got mostly stitches and a dislocated knee
I have a wild amount of stories like this, I like to think I have some kickass (read:overworked) guardian angels or something. Here are the three most life or death ones I can think of (in order of when they happened.)
Story one: So I was too young to remember this one, but apparently when I was like 2 or 3, my mom was taking me to sign me up for preschool. We’re Jewish, so the preschool was at a Jewish community centre. On the way over she just got a really bad feeling and turned around. Turned out a shooter came in to hate crime the place, and knowing how bad I was at keeping quiet as a little kid, I probably would’ve been shot if I’d been there.
When I was a bit older, maybe late tween, early teen, we had these spinning metal barstools that we sat at while we ate at the breakfast bar (basically a long counter with a place to sit,) in our kitchen. Being a hyperactive ADHD kid, I naturally spent much of my seated time spinning in the chair relentlessly despite being constantly told not to. Anyway, one night my mother, father, and I all three had dreams where I died. I don’t remember much about what theirs were like if they even told me, but mine was to this date one of the real-feeling and unsettling dreams I’d ever had, because I didn’t just die, I actually went to the other side and like… experienced it. I’ve never had a dream like that before, or since. Anyway, all three of us were a little shaken by the dreams and we noticed a screw lying around that I think my dad said he found the night before but didn’t know what it belonged to. It turned out it was the only screw keeping the heavy metal seat of my bar stool (which had like a full back which was also metal and was a few feet off the ground, to help visualize this thing,) connected to the base. If I’d sat down and taken just one of those wild swings on it that I took daily which probably caused it to come lose to begin with, I’d have gone flying onto the hard tile floor, possibly with the entire metal chair seat on top of me. I know it sounds unbelievable, but I honestly believe those dreams were warnings, and that if we hadn’t been so on edge that we started looking for problems and found that screw, that chair would have crushed me and killed or seriously injured me.
Ok last one this is the only one that was when I was an adult. CW for street harassment and possible attempted assault

So this was Halloween night, I was in my early 20’s. I had plans to meet up with two different friends/groups of friends to celebrate, only the first group just kind of left, and I was left to go find my other friend’s place to meet up. No biggie. Except my phone was dying, she wasn’t picking up, and it was 10 PM downtown on one of the busiest nights of the year right by a major university campus. Also, for context, I am trans and at this point I was presenting as and still identifying as a girl. Anyway this really seedy looking guy who was lootering in a doorway of a Tim’s I walked by shouts something at me. I don’t hear what he says, but the vibe is off so I speed up and ignore him. I clear a few blocks thinking he must be gone by now, but I have a bad feeling, so I check. Following me. Great. By now, I’m terrified, and very aware of my near-dead phone. I walk faster. He disappears around a corner after he realizes I’ve spotted him, but I notice him hanging back and just get a really bad feeling he’s just shaking my suspicion. I all but run into the first open building I see. My first stroke of
luck-by pure coincidence that building happens to be my friend’s. I tell the front desk security what happened and that I’m here to see my friend and explain I’ve been trying to reach her but my phone is dying, and I suspect hers must have died too. They insist they can’t contact her and let her know I’m here, and try to send me away. I argue, emphasizing that I was followed up to this point by a creep. One guard is sympathetic, the other makes fun and says how he wishes girls would follow him like that. (Jackass, but typical, I guess.) Just as we’re talking, a guy walks in. The guy. Walks right past the desk like he owns the place, and very calmly opens the door to the elevators, holds it, looks up at me, and says as if this is the most normal thing in the world, “Are you coming?” I panic. I don’t know what to do. I need to get in to see my friend because I’m not feeling safe, but I can’t go with the dude who literally just stalked me, but some dumb naïve part of my brain thinks maybe I misjudged the situation? Maybe he just happened to live here, and just accidentally walked behind me, then felt bad about clearly scaring me, so he gave me some distance and now is doing me a solid? Spoiler alert: no. I don’t know wtf I was thinking but no. Absolutely 1000% no. Luckily the good guard smells something up and while I’m hesitating, he starts asking me very insistently if I know this man. I tell him this is the guy who was following me. He ushers me into the back behind the security desk and he and his cohort approach the guy. Neither of them have ever seen him before. He insists he lives here. He does not. They shout him down for several minutes in which he insists he belongs here and they tell him to get out. I think they may have had to threaten to call the cops, I can’t remember for sure. Finally, after these two big strong guys just yelling at him for a good while. I’m pretty sure he was on something because he seemed high and also nobody who was sober and sane would have insisted as long as he did in the situation. He was so insistent I almost doubted my own assessment again, but it definitely wasn’t wrong, but eventually he finally leaves. I’m shaken as hell, the good guard seems really shaken too. They go from about to boot me to letting me chill in the lobby so I can be safe if that guy’s lurking and help me get in touch with my friend, and finally I get to see her, but by then I don’t feel much like celebrating, and I think I just charged my phone and went home. Anyway, it was hella traumatic but I fully believe if those guards especially the nice one hadn’t been there, and if I’d doubted myself just long enough to be convinced to go with him behind those closed doors, something really bad would have happened to me. So yeah bullet fricking dodged, I’d say!
I lived in a dorm with a girl I was sweet on, she was in love with someone else and when she found out he was taken and she couldn't have him, she demolished the shared kitchen and was sent to an insane asylum. bullet dodged.
I'm just listening to all these Reddit vids all day long and I'm like: "I wish my life could be more eventful"
22:53 Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.
When I was 6, I skipped class to watch an episode of my favorite T.V. show. My mom was mad until she later found out one of my classmates had lice. Bullet freaking dodged!
After I sold my first ever car, the person that bought it was travelling on a motorway (freeway) the next day and the car drained of oil, because of a loose sump plug, and seized at about 70mph causing catastrophic damage that was estimated to cost as much as he'd paid me for the car, which was £2,500, to repair. This was 1989 so adjusted for inflation, that's about £6,300 in 2021/2022!!
23:48 This is what expired credit cards or gift cards are for--jimmying open simple doors. It actually works and saved my bacon once. I had my jacket hanging over the inside door knob of my bedroom door, grabbed it on my way out, and it snagged on the privacy lever, setting the lever to "lock" as well as pulling the door shut behind me (the jacket by then had come loose). A few bad minutes and a used Amazon gift card later, and the door popped right open. Trick really works.
Had a guy tell me 'he' thought it was time our relationship moved on to the 'next level.' However, he added that, if I didn't agree with him, he would have to stop seeing me.
Translation: I want my way, or else I don't even want to play.
Well, I don't do ultimatums.
I told him to just take me home.
After hearing the story about the guy who got stopped by police with meth in his car, I was reminded of when I took my very first driver's exam. I was 17, I think. My brother took me and let me use his car for the test. Passed it and, when leaving, noticed my brother was acting strange. I got my license and when we got in his car, he told me there was a quarter pound of pot under the driver's seat! He'd forgotten about it. LOL
I the same story's comments, the OP defended himself, saying his buyers were all adults. I was in a rehab center get off pain meds and met a priest, a psychiatrist and a pharmacist who were all in there for similar reasons. They were there as a part of some program with the legal system. You'd be surprised at the people who have 'engaged' in that sort of thing.
I picked up a dollar and a bird flew right above my back really fast. Would've hurt
My sister ran away the day before her bday party (btw this is probably late 90’s) so my mom cancelled it. The day that would’ve been her party her friend crashed on a spot that is known for teens crashing their cars and they all were hospitalized. They all lived. And they’re lucky considering where and how they crashed. But had my sister not run away the day prior she would’ve been in the car that crashed. And she would’ve been hospitalized as well. Or possibly worse.
3:25 I actually worked with a guy who worked at the aurora theatre that night. Luckily he only heard the gunshots and escaped.
Yeah about that teacher one, last year one of my teachers got busted for fiddling little boys. He was the psych teacher. Caused my history teacher a lot of pain as she had dealt with sexual abuse. It was hard for her to find out her coworker was like that. It was especially bad because my brother was in his class
I think we all have some very close calls as we grow up. Sometimes we realize it and sometimes we don't have a clue about how close to harm we were and . . . of course . . . sometimes we don't escape harm.
Ok, so I live in Aurora, and I also dodged a bullet by not going to the theater
This man! The man who most people saw in dream 🤔👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

This is literally a repost of a video from more than a year ago...
It was back in the days of the MLP fandom. I was a relatively innocent child, about 11 or 12 years old. I was searching UA-cam for MLP videos and found one called "Smile HD (18+)." I tried to click the video below it, but accidentally clicked on Smile HD by accident. I panicked and turned back, knowing that whatever was in that video was not something I needed to see at such a young age. Not until several years later did I find out what the video contained. I consider myself extremely lucky that I didn't watch it as a kid.
When my only 2 friends decided to come to my house uninvited. Needless to say I had to cut them out. It's been just over a year at this point and couldn't be happier with that decision, despite being friendless. Unfortunately, I should've cut them out sooner, people who ignore boundaries shouldn't be your friends.
A car accident. Hit ice, jumped curb, hit tree. When it hit the curb the bottom of the car pulled back something like a tuna can. My shoe went with it.
I believe if I had actually had my seatbelt on I wouldn’t have went airborne when we hit curb i would’ve been pulled under just like my shoe.
Ecstasy dealer trying to dodge all accountability...
My fiancée was actually going with her dad to the movie theater that night in Colorado they ended up not being able to go because of some medical issues and it saved their lives
8:36 They had us in the first half, not gonna lie
I had a crush on a girl in college who wound up dating another guy.
Sophomore year, she wound up stabbing that guy with a ballpoint pen and claimed it was self-defense.
Campus security footage showed her sneaking up on him in the parking lot.
She was diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic and her boyfriend/victim recovered.
Just wanna air this out before going to bed. Was heading to work literally today on one of our major highways and half the lanes were shut down, everyone trying to merge left. The car in front of me slammed their brakes as I looked up from the sideview and had to do the nastiest swerve/merge to not SMASH into the car in front of me. That was around 3:30pm and it's almost 3:00am and I'm still thinking about it...
When I was in elementary school (I think 3rd grade), I went to a pediatric dentist for some procedure or another (can't remember what it was). I'm nervous, but it's typical dental anxiety. The dental assistant comes up to me with a cup of fluoride, and I just completely close up and won't let her near my mouth. (I think because I remembered it tasting bad before?) The dentist comes in, immediately loses his shit, and calls my parents back into the room to tell them I'd have to go to a hospital to get this work done under GA. My parents immediately shot that idea down, we left, and the whole drive home they chewed me out for being "a baby" and wasting their day off from work and like $450 in office fees. We eventually went to another dentist and got the work done with no trouble.
The first dentist was none other than Dr. Howard Schneider, aka the "World's Worst Dentist". Years later it came out that he'd been torturing kids with medically unnecessary "treatments" (in some cases replacing almost ALL of the baby teeth with poorly-constructed crowns) as well as being physically abusive in general. This whole time he'd been making literal millions through Medicaid reimbursement for these treatments. He eventually closed his practice and relinquished his license to avoid a board investigation, and was facing years in prison for Medicaid fraud but ended up being deemed mentally unfit to stand trial.
I thought i had lost my cellphone but then i checked the other sides of my purse and then i found it. I felt really relieved.
Once a ladder fell on me, (big enough to kill) I was really lucky because I got stuck in between the holes. I got stuck for a while, but it’s better than dying.
When he raised a gun at me, and I actually moved my body and dodged it (because I did it as the trigger was going down).
Didn't dodge the second one though.
My mom met an old guy at the airport who said that he had missed 3 plane flights in his life, and every single one of them crashed and killed everyone on board.
3:26 I was about to leave my house to go see a movie at Tanforan(Bay area mall) when all of a sudden I got a gut feeling I should stay home. The next day at work someone showed me footage and the news report of a shooting that happened and it was near the theater.
Mine was when I was like 10,my brother liked punching me randomly especially whenever he's with friends,one time I called it moved out of the way and threw him over the couch onto the floor
I had to drive my sister to her interview and I was getting mad because we were running late.
I drop her off at her interview just in time and as I'm driving home, I stop at a red light behind a silver four door car.
Another car driving off the off-ramp of the freeway fails to slow down and turn to get into traffic and instead hits the rail, flies upward and lands directly on top of the car in front of me.
Turns out the woman driving the car on the off ramp had a seizure and couldnt control her car.
The other woman in the silver car in front of me had to go to the hospital with several broken bones but she survived.
My dodged bullet? If we would have left any sooner like I wanted then that silver car could have been me.
Still freaks me out thinking about it.
Not as serious as some on this video, but I just came back from the SA east coast. Both my cousin and aunt (whom I live with) got some weird bug that basically everyone on the coast had around new year. This is a disease that had hospitalized a few people but as far as I know the outbreak had a +/- 0% fatality rate
Guess who was perfectly fine the whole time.
My bullet dodged moment was not getting my college girlfriend pregnant. For some context, I wanted to wait until I was officially done with school to start anything s*xual with her, but she constantly pushed me to do so under the threat of leaving me. I unfortunately caved, and I made sure we used protection, but she started referring to my mother by her first name and trying to make her the center point of my life with no regard for anyone else in my life. I’m glad that relationship broke off, as she’s now probably in another state living her life. I still regret the first time.
My Bullet Dodged Moment is when my dad, my mom and my brother got in a car crash, the car responsible hit the side i normally sit on, had i been there, i would have probably died or severely injured, as i am of smaller build (5 foot 2 and 130ish pounds); (the car had ran a red light at moving roughly 40mph) my dads car Chassis was Cracked and as a result was totaled.
21:10 Okay but can I ask how the heck you write a whole dang college thesis about a kiss??
Holy crap. The discus story. My friend had a similar thing happen. Someone yelled he looked and the discus flew by slicing open his forehead. He had to get stitches but his head wasn’t damaged at all. I thought I was going to loose my best friend then night.
Been hit with a few shells but I don't walk with a limp
Mario cart is rough man... I know the feeling.
13:42 What could have been in that flash drive? Autoloading malware?
My dodged bullet was not getting back with an ex after seeing how many relationships she jumped into after she dumped me for one of her other exes. It really sucked after she left and we might have restarted if I hadn't met my current fiance when I did. I still care about her and we are friends nowadays but I rather like it that way.
Some people dodging battleship shells
My friend took a video of a teacher but a kid snitched on him and he got sent out of the class he got told he was getting his phone confiscated but it was the end of the day so they just gave it back. He thought that he got away with the lowest punishment. Next day he got an isolation still got the video
Isn’t this Just “Gut feeling Saving lives?”
OMFG that background o kept thinking my phone's display was fricked up
Back in high school a bird tried to dive bomb me on my way to school. In the split second i see it infront of my face and leaned out of the way of the turd.
I know kungfu
I like how the thumbnail is Bullet Bill lol
Was in a live fire exercise. Dude was standing next to me and wanted to make his rifle safe. I took a step to the right when he pulled the charging handle. When he pulled the trigger the gun went off. My ears were ringing a little and i saw a hole about 2cm`s next to my foot. The idiot hadnt taken out the partially loaded magazine. Actually dodged the bullet that day.
I was driving wt my friend on the freeway, about to exit using a 2 lane exit ramp onto another highway. The person in the far exit lane decided they wanted to stay on the freeway and tried to change lanes, without checking if anyone was next to them, and started coming over into me. I honked and swerved, but I must have swerved too hard or something, or hit my brakes to hard, because my steering wheel locked and my car lost control and zig-zag skid across 3 lanes of light traffic freeway. The back skid 180° and started sliding me- while now facing backwards, with headlights from oncoming freeway traffic facing me- toward the concrete & metal wall on the side of the freeway, I had slowed down slamming my brakes so I think I was sliding at maybe 30-40mph. Probably wouldn't have killed me on impact. Probably would've crushed me and left me in pain.
Then we stopped 3 ft away. The cars that were facing me had enough time to stop and slow traffic. I didn't even hit a car while my car out was out of control in the lanes. My friend and I didn't even hit our heads while driving. Not a scratch, a tear, dent on my car.
Then the guy who would've been in a face to face collision with me at 70mph if he didn't see me swerving soon enough got out and helped direct traffic around me so I could reverse on the freeway and start facing the correct way and just pull over and sit there wondering what just happened.
Then every single person we called couldn't answer us. I called my dad 8 times, my mom 5, we called our friend who we were driving to visit, her boyfriend and his mom who she lived with, multiple times. Somehow everyone happened to be working, with their phone silenced, or with their phone dead. So we had to just go and drive on like it was all good. Bcz it was.
This was 2 weeks ago on the 5th, so I'd like to think it's a sign for the year that my luck is good this year.
3 of em fr
Love how they use butthole instead of asshole. Makes me laugh everytime.
A ton of these sound more like guardian angel moments
I'm pretty sure that Perseus accidentally killed his grandpa with a discus.
I ran out of fuel…
…flying
My third ex girlfriend changed and turned into a monster right in front of me. She cheated on me and became very controlling. I ended the relationship while she told my then-future-girlfriend while talking about me, "I own him." I didn't know that this was said before I broke up with her. I initially had plans to marry her in the future. Nuke dodged.
A kid “accidentally” threw a shot put at our gym teachers head... retired shortly after
My apartment was shot up in a drive by in the LBC. No joke.
I had a crush on a chick in high-school, invited her to my buddies bday party, a couple of weeks later they started dating. The first year they were together she tried to kill him and then a week later tried to suicide, stated doing drugs shortly after.
i dodged a literal bullet, some dude tried to rob a store I'm a regular at and i walked in not knowing and saw him aim at me and ducked and dove and rolled near the charcoal, i then pulled my .45 out and shot him in both his legs
