I also opted out of a party... cause I had a bad feeling. Said party got busted. I have always got weird feelings before cops would show up. I had that feeling that night and boom, it got busted. Luckily no one went to jail cause the underage kids hid pretty well. This was a few years ago btw.

I think my family has that crazy gut feeling too. Saved my dad from an arrest and my bro from two accidents
@@acmal_8619 saved alot of people I knew from jail or death. My dad is the same way.
One of my friends went to a party that was in gang territory and there ended up being a shoot out at the party and she had to hide in a ditch for a couple of hours because apparently cops like to sit back and wait until to shooting stops.

I probably would've killed myself if I wasn't pulled out. Sometimes I wonder what would've happened if I went through with one of my suicide attempts.
@Adriel R I have no response to that other than I'm not sure you replied to the right thing.

Wow, this got quite a few likes overnight, thanks guys
My 7th grade class went on a hiking trip once. I stayed home because I can't walk. Turns out most of them got lost, went through a patch of poison ivy, and then attacked by bees. And almost fell off a cliff.

That sounds like something out of a cartoon

One of my teachers told my class this story of how he was going to go on a camping trip with his friends but he ended up not going because of a wedding or something like that. The friends ended up getting lost and it was really snowy where they went. I don't remember everything that happened but they were really smart about what they did and eventually got found.
This wasn't my story, it was my teacher's.
When I was in the army I was really into this girl in my unit during AIT. We went off base on the weekend and had a few drinks, she invited me out for more fun but I decided to hang out with my other friends instead. Good thing I did. The following Monday I didn't see her in formation. Apparently she snuck off with some other dude and had sex in the Alamo and got caught by the police. Fast forward... Later I find out she got discharged and was kicked out of the state of Texas for life. Whew dodged that bullet...
@@TruTheory wait she's banned from the whole state? What she's doin? Domestic terrorism?
@@kos2919 I would guess that it's because the Alamo is an important part of Texas history.
@@kos2919 nope lol. It's just that the state of Texas holds the Alamo as sacred ground and get serious about anyone who defaces it. Remember Ozzy was banned from Texas for awhile after he pissed on it...so yeah lol she's banned for life although I have no idea what the punishment is for violating the ban
I wasn't the one who opted out, but I'll tell the story anyway.
On the last week of February, some of my year group was set to go on a skiing trip to Italy.
My chemistry teacher was one of the teachers who was set to go to Italy, but she had to opt out because she lost her passport a couple days before departure.
Cue to the day of departure, most people are gone to Italy, and the teacher said to us during class that morning that she was glad to have lost her passport, because there was a massive spike in corona cases in Italy literally on the night the skiing people were due to leave. Also, some people got injured/nearly injured, so there's that.
Thankfully, no one got the virus during the trip, but there was a bit of controversy in the school and local area, because parents were concerned for their kids (and some pulled their kids from going on said ski trip). Some people decided not to come into school when the skiing people came back, because of virus fears.
Can't really blame them. In my country a lot of people went into a religious event in a province and return back bringing Corona virus with them causing a lot of headache for local govt
A car ride. My great grandmother wrecked that day. She was fine, just bruised, but parts of the engine was in the passenger seat... where I would have sat. I would have died had I been in the car.
@bryan diaz varela huh
bryan diaz varela lmaoo
Like seriously, I dont get it. It was a single car accident
@@masonwilson4805 I think they're joking about how it was an elaborate (and failed) setup to get you killed, but, yeah, it's a bit of a stretch.
Interestingly, I was also in a similar situation. I think my family was moving at the time (this was back around middle school, roughly a decade ago), and my brother and mom got into one car, and I got into another with my then brother-in-law. We're driving, and he gets a call from my mom. Turns out, they were hit by a drunk driver.
They're fine now, though my mom still talks about some lasting side effects from the whiplash.
@@KirbyLinkACW the joke just kinda caught me off guard cause people actually are trying to get me lol.
My father's biology teacher when he was in school made it in the top 25 or so teachers that were going to be selected to go on the Challenger mission. They were watching it in class and the teacher nearly fainted. (At least, as far as my father told me)
There was a shooting at the Ft. Lauderdale airport on the day, in the same terminal, at the same time as I was intially scheduled to land back in after my Winter Break. I delayed my flight a single day just a week before the flight. I can't exactly remember what prompted me to do this but I think it was about my ride to the airports availability. I remember being super bummed about it but still this day I'm grateful that I postponed it.
The next day when I landed in Ft. Lauderdale the entire experience was just eerie and sad. I could feel the tension everywhere.
I also live in Aurora, CO. Some family members missed the Dark Knight because they heard it was sold out.
Oh.
Had a similar thing happen to the aerosol can once: our scout group had a big event with a bunch of others. Some us merit badge assistant counselors gathered around a campfire to discuss things. One guy came by and talked for a bit, holding this empty bug spray can in his hands. We were telling stories about random things that had happened in past events, and got to a similar subject. The guys jokes that it would be hilarious to drop the can in, and we all laugh, saying he shouldn't. He shrugs, waits a moment, and then goes "what the heck", and tosses it in.
The fire was roaring. No one thought to reach in and grab it - we sat there staring at the fire pit before every one scattered. The chairs and benches around looked like a stampede went through, and we about 30 feet away for about a minute waiting to see what would happen. One of the Scout Masters came by to see what was going on... just as the can blew up.
This matches up with a reddit story- *You might be involved.*
In my country boy scout are not allowed to carry too much amenities because we are supposed to learn about survival. I remember we only eat noodle, rice and boiled kale
Anton Snow I heard of a similar story about a party, Where someone threw a empty propane tank in the fire. Short story somebody got decapitated.

In high school, whenever I was done working my after school job, I'd walk across town and meet my father at the local gas station for a ride home. On this day, halfway there, I ran into a kid a year younger than me heading in the same general direction. We walked about three blocks together. The kid told me he was going over to a mutual friend's to see his new hunting rifle, and asked if I wanted to come. I declined, as I was on a pretty tight schedule. We parted ways . . . I told him I'd see him at school tomorrow.
Five minutes later, he was dead, killed by an accidental firearm discharge.
My high school psychology teacher's wife could've been one of Ted Bundy's victims. Back in the 70's she was on her way to a date with her boyfriend (my teacher, who is now her husband). Ted came up to her as she was walking through the city, and asked her out. She said "no", but he kept insisting that they go out for coffee, then a hike in the woods. She declined politely, and said she was currently on her way to a date. After pleading and being denied a few more times, he eventually gave up and walked away. A few days later he was all over the news with reports of his crimes. She said she almost considered going with him because of how cute and charming he was, but she thought it was odd with how insistent he was and she also wanted to be faithful to her boyfriend.
Wow
I opted out of a trip to the mall.
My mother and I used to make the trip to the American Red Cross across the street from a popular shopping mall so she could give platelets. The process took an hour or two, and I would venture through the mall on my lonesome, doing a bit of window shopping and maybe grabbing a bite to eat if I had the money.
One day, it was incredibly cold outside, just enough to flurry. The air was dry, and before we even left the house, I had a nose bleed. Noss bleeds, for me, were a long affair. They usually brought on headaches, shakes, and feverish sensations. I told my mom that I'd like to stay home that day, and she said okay, and went off by herself.
It wasn't long after she left before the flurry started. At best, it'd been about an hour. Then, my sister came rushing up the stairs, asking if my mom was still out giving platelets. I said yes. My sister turned on the TV.
*There had been a shooting at the shopping mall. Two employees of a relatively popular skateboard/clothing shop lost their lives, having been attacked and killed by a mentally ill shooter, before he turned the gun on himself.*
My sister and I immediately called my mother. We watched on TV, the blurry feed from a helicopter circling the area. To our collective relief, my mother was okay. Stuck in traffic, as authorities were restricting access to the mall and surrounding areas, but okay. She came home without so much as a scratch.
Details would come out over the course of the next three weeks or so. The gunman's name, the victims, the state of the store.
A nosebleed most likely saved my life, that day. My story didn't seem to compare to others when I shared it-- some knew the victims personally, others the gunman. Others, still, had been inside the mall when the shots were fired.
It still makes me think, every once in a while, though, the kind of luck I might have had. I'm glad to be here, sure, I'm glad my mother, my friends, and classmates are all okay, but...
I still think about if anything could have been different. Anything at all.
If someone could have been saved, if someone would have died.
Whoever runs these Reddit channels has a pretty good thing going. I'm subscribed to a lot of these and one channel has a subject and a few hours later another channel has the same subject but worded differently with the stories mixxed up
My science teacher Fred Whittiker (I don’t think i spelled that right but oh well) was one of the teachers to apply to go on the Challenger. I’m pretty sure he almost got accepted, but he had asthma. For those who don’t know, the Challenger exploded mid-air less then 2 minutes after taking off and there were no survivors

Dang this video dodged a bullet for me. I got a letter from the vector company yesterday and was planning on checking it out later today. Guess I dont have to now lol.
1:11 Me and my family were going to go see the Dark Knight returns that night the shooting happened at that exact time and we would have been right behind the handicapped seats where we always sit all 5 of us would have been killed if we had went but my father wound up having to work late or something and we missed the showing when we found out what had happened on the news we were so thankful that we didn't get to go that night because that would have been the last movie we ever went to. We did go see it a few weeks later in another city.
That bone marrow transplant one hit home. Had one myself for AML after I relapsed. 30/70 5 year outlook not in my favor. 4 years later and other than some heart problems from the chemo and earlier onset of male patter baldness you cant even tell. My transplant was only a 50% match due to my donor being my father. It was pretty incredible how they do the transplants now days its usually all stem cells so the donor doesn't even have to get a marrow biopsy or get marrow pulled unless they cant hit the stem cell count they want. I have been really lucky I had no acute rejection and have not yet seen signs of chronic rejection. Ironically now I work in the nuclear industry which has given me an appreciation for how much dose they gave me in the radiation treatments. 13 Gy /13 Sv/ 1300 Rem if anyone is interested in that. In Gy for you medical folks, Sv for you metric folks, and Rem for us folks here in the US.
That last one, don't move in with friends if they just want to party all the time. Even worse if it's friends of friends.
I got “hired” by Vector in college! Something about it felt wrong, so I never went to any of their events and things
Yeah, that's a very common one. Even I and a lot of people I knew went through their "recruitment day." I left on the second day when it turns out the only people I had contact information of is my parents.
Me: "What friends?"
Vector: "Get out..."
Me too.
I opted out of a high school party my senior year at a hotel. All who attended got arrested and kicked off of their sports teams after getting drunk and being destructive and getting the cops called on them by hotel staff. Another guy in my class puked on the cops shoes. My mom still yelled at me for my friends getting in trouble and to this day I still do not understand why.
I went to the same Vector Marketing interview. It sounded really good and I was really excited. But after talking to my mom about it, she advised that I didn’t go to the training. I didn’t go and I got calls from them asking where I was but I came up with a lie and that was that.
For that first one I kinda thought about how the constructors for the empire state buildings felt. . . They were supposed to be made of concrete. They used drywall.
In the late '80s my dad was stationed in Germany, and there was a huge air show nearby that we were planning on going to. For whatever reason, we ended up not going. A plane crashed into the crowd. Over 180 people died.
TL;DR: I opted out of an opportunity for a dream job, turned out too good to be true, dodged a major bullet.
A while back I studied audio engineering, learning about recording in a studio and on film sets, amongst other things. While nearing the end of my studies, I volunteered to do some work as a boom operator and sound recordist on a few student projects. In the end my work was praised enough that it got me jobs for the next 2-3 years after studies. It was fun and all, but nowhere near enough to maintain a stable income, so I turned to other professions while I fine-tuned my audio skill set, primarily IT. I got a job as an IT technician at my local academy, and although the pay was three times lower than what I would earn in the private sector, it gave me tons of experience in every part of the job, ranging from replacing toner in printers to rebuilding and deploying servers, the team was awesome and if I had free time I was allowed to occupy myself with whatever I wanted (I learned programming in my free time). It's a job that I still value and love doing. On weekends, I also began organising a Saturday roller disco which was great for my audio portfolio as I used my own lighting and audio gear, and it was great fun. All in all, I was pretty well situated professionally and I was earning enough to get by and save up.
One day, one of the directors I worked with on a few projects in the past called me up with a job opportunity. He said that there was a new internet TV station startup going on further up north and they're looking for staff. The director recommended me for the role of supervisor audio engineer and head of the audio department. Now, this is 3 years after I finished uni and my audio jobs have run quite dry with nothing going on for a few months. On paper, this is a golden opportunity; starting at a high position, able to make a name for myself, and if going well I'm basically set for life. I've considered working for the BBC a few times and this seemed like a good step up to make it.
The caveat was I'd have to leave both jobs I have and move up north. Normally I wouldn't be too worried, however my family are not well off. Everything I'd worked up to I did myself with no financial support from my family. I don't blame them, we were in a difficult situation and we did the best we could, but ultimately I had no safety net. I payed over half of the rent and utilities bills, so if I went out of work we'd be in deep trouble.
I spent a week considering the pros and cons, the risks and any backup plans. Ultimately I refused the position saying that I greatly appreciate the opportunity and thoughtfulness, but with my current financial situation it's too much of a risk. I wished him well and that was that for a while.
About a month later I messaged the director checking how he's getting on with his new job. Turns out the guy hiring him was an a**hole, they did three weeks of work for him and after refusing to pay them, he skipped town and disappeared. My friend was out of £2000 in unpaid earnings and a bunch more for renting a place. Turns out my friend pulled in other people from past projects and they were all screwed over like this. He filed a lawsuit against the guy, but apparently he never showed up in court. So my friend is out of a couple grand, and I dodged a major bullet because if I followed suite I'd be out of a job, with no savings, in a different county, having quit on two jobs I liked. He's still recovering from this blow. Luckily his family are well off so he has a roof over his head and some savings.
When I was just out of school and working my first job, my co-workers tried to get my to go see the Chippendales, male strippers. I said, "No, I can't go, my mom will find out." ( Actually, I was tired and wanted to go home to sleep.) Well, the local news came out and all my co-workers were on tv watching the strippers. My mom WOULD have found out.
Perk of being introvert
CindyKQ I just knew you were gonna say, "Everyone got arrested, even my Mom who was on the front row."
Hilarious! Especially because my mom was so straight-laced. I can't stop giggling when I picture her there.
I opted out of a party that 16 of my friends got into a pickup truck & drove to.... on the way back the driver rolled the truck & threw 16 people out of it.... No one died, very luckily, but everyone was pretty hurt. Another friend & I had taken a bunch of acid & hung out at the school on the main road out to where the party was.... the amount of emergency vehicles that went by tripped us out, but we knew right away & we didnt turn out to be wrong, something went wrong & we had made the right choice that night.

I opted out of going to school one random day cause I didn't feel like it and missed a surprise quiz that I got to study for and take the next day since I stayed home. This quiz was what made me pass 11th grade english and not fail
There was a incident at my work place. I had just gotten on my break, but my car was at my house because my starter was broken (I had someone drive me to work). As soon as I got on break, the spot where I usually park filled with two groups having an altercation (moving from a different location beforehand). The fight got violent and guns were brought out and shot at one group. No injuries to my knowledge, but bullets were found in the lot.
Thanks to my starter being broken, I was in my workplace storage room when the groups got violent.
The thumbnail had two “of”s right next to each other
Damn. That car battery saved a life. Living in CO was a terrifying time those few weeks after

A group of people went into an abondend hospital, my friend left and the cops came a few hours later, we all got away but he definitely would of gotten caught
One of my relatives was going to go on the titanic, she ended up not going through with it - supposedly because she had a bad dream about it, which is why I'm alive. She was definitely not upper class, and there was virtually no way that she would have survived.
Opted out of my last job, less than a year later the entire office was laid off - saw that shit coming. Regarding the pyramid schemes being illegal, that's something that very difficult to define. Any business that has a business above it that's collecting fees could be considered a pyramid scheme.

This is word for word the exact same video that was posted previously. The only difference is the thumbnail and title. There wasn't even an atttempt to space it out. They are back to back. This is lazy content production. I also noticed the trend of using thumbnail not related to the subject or at least a weird association.
So it IS a lazy repost. And here I thought I was going crazy and had clicked a video I'd watched before by mistake.
@@TaranAlvein had to go back and forth a few times and compare timestamp to make sure I wasn't crazy.
I reserved the deluxe version of the Wii U at a GameStop. During the week of release, I had an ominous feeling in my gut when I was about to purchase it and decided not to buy. The rest is history.
My ex and I planned on going back up to New England and, among other things would see Boston, and all the historical sites and museum, as well as the Marathon. I repeatedly told him that I wanted to be at the finish line. We had the money put back, all plans made. Both of us had friends there and all ready.
On February 3 he ended up with severe gangrene in his left foot because a skin graft went bad and had septic shock to boot. Net result: complete amputated foot to metatarsal. Open so it could heal easier without holding infection in. All of the nursing care had to be done at home.
No travel of any kind. We had to stay within 5 minutes ride to the hospital. Hyperbaric treatment 6 days a week for months.
Total recovery time 5 to 8 months.
No trip. I took over total nursing care. He groused. I was greatly disappointed. But being a Christian, I know everything happens for a reason. I prayed that someday I would know why everything happened this way.
Our primary source of entertainment was TV. We watched a lot of TV and movies. We settled in for a boring year.
On CNN one day we were watching and the Boston Marathon had bombs go off at the finish line.
We would have been there. The illness that almost claimed his life ironically saved both of us.
Not everyone is going to agree with my definition of "lucky" in this context, but this is my story with religion.
I had always REALLY wanted to go to this particular Bible college; my older friends went there, I had attended a lot of youth events there, I had already taken the HS tour, filled out the application, and it was my beloved youth pastors' alma mater. It was just a matter of course that I should go too.
The summer after grade 12, my dad got laid off, we had to move to another province, and my parents suddenly couldn't afford the tuition at that particular school, but they could afford another bible school closer to our new city. I was devastated and cried for weeks, but I eventually I agreed to attend this new school.
I didn't understand it at the time, but years later, I came to see how lucky I got. The school I desperately wanted to go to was conservative and fundamentalist, ie. not very healthy in its interpretation of the reality of the outside world. ("Ahem"). The school I ended up going to was more liberal and had professors who attended ivy league universities, so it was more in a place to teach us critical thinking skills, not pat Sunday school answers to life.
The next year after that, my parents suddenly had money again to send my younger sister there, and six years later, my younger brother.
To this day, my parents and younger siblings still have their minds in kind of an epistemological vice, it seems. There are just certain issues through which they see the world through that tiny pinhole view of life, and every time I hear them speak from that filter, I am so incredibly grateful to have gotten the more broad-minded liberal education. I feel like I alone escaped my family's mental prison, just because of a couple thousand dollars worth of tuition in that one gap year in my dad's earnings.
Not me, but My Grandpa, my extra Grandma and her daughter went through something that would fit this.
They where on vacation in Thailand in 2004.
They where going to go on a boat trip along the coast, but Grandpa got sick with stomach flu the evening before, still feeling sick the morning after, he told His partner and her daughter to go on the boat trip without him.
On the way to the boat, they decided to opt out and head back to the hotel as it wouldn't feel right to go on the trip without Grandpa.
Like an hour later, The Tsunami warning comes. Had they gone on the boat trip, they would have been out in the sea as it hit. They lived because of their choice to not go on the trip without him.
Went to a party with my friend, we weren’t into it and left early.
Place got shot up and one died, later that night.
I know a guy whose Grandpa was part of a convoy to resupply blockaded settlements and on the way someone sprained his ankle so he and another guy were ordered to leave the convoy and carry him back.
An hour before the convoy could reach the settlements it became light. Their presence was discovered and they were under attack. They fought until the last bullet. All the members of the convoy were killed.
My family was making some eggs and I just.. I didn't want them. I outright refuses to eat them and ate some cereal instead. My father, who ate the most, ended up getting food poisoning. My mother and brother were just slightly inconvenienced with stomach issues because they didn't eat much/any.
I was the only unaffected one because I ate something else, and I didn't even know.
Some of my friends told me if i want to go outside, i said no but about 15 minutes later devided to go when i have gone out about 10 kids were chasing my friends, one of them got hit but he had a teenager brother and oldest of them was around 11 so i acted like my friends getting chased by a kid gang about to be beaten by a teenager is a normal thing and go back home
(This was a when me and my friends were 10 to 11 so i dont remember exact things like exact age of them but it is about same as i said just really close)
I use to work at Vector selling knives, I totally cracked the system. Not doing presentations and just writing random people down from the phone book and forging signatures. It was brushed off because alot of people around the area are tight in money. I must've done it like 5 times and that's a free $500. 10 presentations for $10 each.
Coworkers bought a stack of lotto tickets. They said if I bought in they would split the winnings. I said no. One of the tickets actually hit for 30USD. The guy that held that ticket reneged on the deal, ended up quitting getting hooked on drugs and spiralled.
Why is the feminist symbol used in most of the reddit videos?
Its kind of cringe to bait a conservative audience with suggesting titles ..

Same with using rainbows to bait LGBT to his channel. It’s sickening. It’s like the only one who doesn’t clickbait is Toadfilms. Only here cause I think the question is interesting.

My dad was due down in London on 7/7/2005, but his company decided against paying for the train travel down to London Kings Cross if I remember the story correctly. Basically, the company being tight with their money and not wanting to pay for train tickets stopped my dad getting to a train station that would have 4 suicide bombers target the underground lines and buses surrounding it.

One of my sisters and a second cousin of ours were taking a trip through Asia and, in 2002, were in Bali. Every night they went to the same club to hang out and party, every day for a week until one night my second cousin felt too sick to go out and so they decided to stay in the hotel instead. That was the night of the 2002 Bali bombings, which blew up that very club and another one opposite it, killing 202 victims and injuring 209.
Sad to know Vector marketing are such scammers to their employees. Cutco knifes are very good quality, my sister has been using hers for 30 years. I also inherited a couple from my mom that are over 40 yo and still cut perfectly. Kirby vacuums also does the same thing. In high school, my nephew worked for them 3 days "training". He did make a sale, so he got paid $50 commission. Needless to say, he quickly found something else.
We were in Paris during the terrorist attacks in France. As a result of the riots in Paris we ended up not going to Nice where the 2016 truck attack occurred. We were going to be in the same area as well. Although Paris was pretty scary because of when France was loosing the Euro Cup final riots broke out and 3000+ riot police were sent to deal with it and we were right in the middle because we were scheduled to go up the Eiffel Tower around that time. We saw someone attack a cop and there was tear gas and fire everywhere. Flip flops aren’t great for running but we still ran like hell back to the hotel.
Opted not to do some service project for the Boy Scouts when I was younger. They ended up across the street from a shooting. The victim was shot multiple times in the chest and head and did not make it sadly.

I’m still a “feminist” in the sense that I think that there is still a need for more woman support and still some unbalances and expectations like having kids and career choices and all that which frankly goes both ways gender wise. (Dont mind my lacklustre phrasing) . But holy shit am I happy I got off the whole feminist train. It’s toxic, so so so so so so so so toxic. I wish it wasn’t as bad as it is, it gives feminism a bad name, and now everyone who sees the word just cringes.
I believe it. My mom and many high-school classmates of mine were the same way, in part because they’d borne the brunt of sexist (and various other) prejudices and obstacles, both overt and institutional, for most of their lives. Don’t get me wrong, women (especially here in the U.S.) have a long and sordid history of getting the short end of the stick in terms of rights and privileges, and there’s still a fair bit of work to do before such true equity can be achieved. But idiots like those at M.S.N.B.C. hectoring and belittling those who disagree with them in the same way Fox News does from the opposite end of the political spectrum ain’t gonna make it happen, and neither are politicians trying to be fiery and provocative for the sake of riling up a voter base every 4 to 6 years. It also doesn’t help in my case that I fall into a demographic (bigender/non-binary) that both sides like to pretend doesn’t exist for the sake of bolstering their arguments. :(
Christmas Hake Exactly, in my opinion, the over exaggerated stories on things like fox make the actual struggles of people facing prejudice and sexism seem fake, when there still obviously is a problem today, just portrayed horribly by things like sjws.
Yeah I get called a "gender traitor" all the time by toxic sjw "feminists" (aka not real feminists) cause I'm transgender (born female, transitioning to male). Tbh I have faced more sexism from people i dont even know (sjws) as a guy than I ever did as a girl.
Damn, dude. Sorry you’ve had to go through that! :( Guess that goes to show that prejudice in any form, transphobic or otherwise, truly knows no gender. Keep your head up and don’t let anyone get you down! :)
If only we could bring the Fairness Doctrine back, man...>:(
Mason Wilson That’s really unfortunate, Like what was said above it really shows literally anyone can experience prejudice. I wish you nothing but happiness and I hope things are going better for you.
1:12 incase anyone is wondering, i belive this was the mass shooting in one of the theaters, i read a few mints ago on a seppararate sub and a couple went there and they witnessed it first hand, i dont remember many details of it though and if anyone knows the user that wrote about it, then please tell me (its quite a lengthy textpost)
bold of that scout to draw a pp on the scout masters tent.
7:00 and this is why they treat their employees like cattle
Instinct. Bad feelings. Foreboding. We have such things to survive.
Dropped out of uni right before corona
Worst thing I opted out of was my friend all playing with a ouija board and, kept having bad things happen to them afterwards for months. They said some stuff went down during too but, I don’t remember what.

Name of the mud race is "tough mudder"
Nothing really bad, but I was meant to go to a going away party. It was during the day because a lot of people had kids. Food was a pork spit roast. I couldn’t be bothered going. Found out later, a lot of people got food poisoning because of the pork.
Interesting, thanks. Love the music you chose for this one. 💕
My best friend wanted to not go to elementary school that one day. Her mom said no so she played sick. She told me that she had a bad feeling. She was really good at playing sick so her mom didnt make her go. That day was the sandy hook shooting.
I also live in denver colorado so my parents and teachers and neighbors all went to columbine high school in the 80s to 90s. My aunt was sick but my mom wanted to go. My grandma didnt want to drive only 1 person to school as they lived out of the neighborhood and they only had 1 car so my grandma took it. That was the columbine high school.
Edit: typo
Haha I never thought I'd have a story (This isn't horribly wrong as in a death or arrest but yk..)
Our 8th grade class was set to be going to a science facility (Argon or something? It's in Illinois). Our teachers were hyping it up and I was having none of it. I claimed how boring it sounded and said I didn't want to go. Principal tried to pressure me into going, saying things like "You'll be in the office during the classes that would he empty!" I said nah g yall can do that and he let me stay at the school (after a call to my parents ofc). Class goes on this field trip and get back for the last class of the day. Im walking by the lockers to my last class because i got to go to it and my buddy walks next to me and passed me his vape all shaky saying kids got popped, hide this etc. I said aight (cus I'm associated with the crowd of crippling nic addicted teens) and hid it in my bag.
Whole story of the trip from my friend, it was super boring, scientists talked to them like preschoolers and no one felt like speaking up that their spiel was basic and meant for younger kids. Glad i missed on that, but where the meat of this story is lies on the bus back after the trip. Kids like my buddy (who walked up to me earlier) were in the back doing their thing trying to be on the low. I've heard multiple versions of the following, "He took a hit and coughed it out and it went everywhere", and " He blew it into a bag and someone crushed it and smoke went everywhere". Everyone in the back 3 rows of the bus got detentions, regardless of if they participated or not which idk how parents of squares took that. Ik I woulda been back there so it's a bullet dodged imo.
I’m from Vegas and I almost went to the Route 91 concert. I decided I didn’t want to after being invited, and my friend didn’t go because I didn’t go with.
my uncle and his friends were gonna go to Pulse to celebrate his birthday but he had to work so he told them he'd just go with them next time. they all died and he doesnt celebrate his birthday anymore
Who calls a murder spree a "Reddit happy ending"?
20:36 Doesn't everybody know at least one person who tries this? It almost always ends in tears.
my mum was at a protest in London in the 90s but left to go to a concert. than some guy tried to clime the downing street gate and a bunch of police with hitting stick things showed up on horses and started to hit everyone.
Dodgeball. Got sent to detention for the entire day, while everyone was forced to attend a school assembly. Fun day for me, because I was busy watching videos off my phone.
I climbed out from under a car about 15 seconds later it fell off the stands. Never did that again.
Last time I was this early, I was able to leave my house, lol
The fact that I recognise 80% of these answers shows me I watch too many of these types of videos
Maybe there's just too few memorable things to dodge. I could also guess half of what would be on here without seeing a similar title just because of how people fit their "regular" lives into these questions looking for interesting stuff.
12:13 Gory, gory what a helluva way to die
He ain't gonna jump no more!
Watched this list before, prolly on another channel, but I'm glad I decided to watch it over again.
Literally, after ending my 2nd semester of college, I was sent a letter from Vector for a summer opportunity. $15/hr, and was kind of considering it since I want to get to working sometime. Don't know if it's the same thing as the one in the post, but I'm assuming so.
What's with the thumbnail? None of these have anything to do with a feminist rally going horribly wrong or anything like that.
WhatTheFnu Probably clickbait. =P
Me and 2 friends decided to go pull the fire alarm at a school as a prank (we were stupid kids). I changed my mind at the last minute and went home. My friends went ahead and did it and got arrested.
My grandma was suppose to be in the first plane to hit the twin towers because her boss wanted to stay another few days and reschedule the flight because he got drunk the night before the flight they eventually took but she forced him to not reschedule
Oh this video will probably be about school mishaps and minor accidents
The video: MY VACATION TO TIANANMEN SQUARE GOT CANCELLED
Almost bought into a time share once!
Marriage, then all my friends divorced over my life and are now screwed...
Reminds me of the episode of full house where the turtle was wedged between the wheel of uncle Jesse’s Harley😂😂😂
I opted out of life once, definitely a bad move.
opted out of our HS grad party. someone shot themself and got a song written about it.

well if you are thinking about going skydiving, listen to "Blood on the Risers" you're welcome
Not me but on the morning of September 11th 2001 my buddy's dad was supposed to visit the world trade center but his friend had some stomach issues and was stuck on the toilet and by the time they were all ready to leave the first tower had been hit. He still gets sour if you bring it up
Me watching 16:17 and onwards after having just received a recruitment letter from Vector Marketing: 👁️ 👄👁️
