Dangerous stupid stuff that you've done

craig's list

I....oh, God, this is a real confession.

(Breathing, breathing)

Many years ago, I had a serious drug problem. I haven't used drugs in 25 years, haven't had a drink in 15 years. But back in the day, I was heavy into cocaine.

I was 21/22 years old and on a binge once, and ran out of my stash. My regular dealer wasn't available, so I went (alone) to the really really REALLY bad area of town (Newark, NJ, if you know it, down to the projects) to get some. Out of the car, up to some guy. He told me to follow him. I did. Into an abandoned building, up the stairs. Gave him my money, he told me to wait. I did. For a long time. Turns out, there were stairs on the other end of the floor. He had taken my money & disappeared.

I got away easy that night. What was taken (money) was the least of what I had. I could have been raped or killed, easily. Just another addict lost to statistics.

So that's my most dangerous, most stupid thing. Ever.

:flowerforyou: so glad you're here with us to share!! talk about scary. i had a lot of things like that happen to me as well (that i can remember). who knows what happened when i was blacked out.

Unfortunately, when I was 17, 18 I did a lot of drugs. Harder stuff that almost ruined me. But I came through it and it seems like I was another person.

Jumped from a cliff (only about 45-50 feet) into the water next to a waterfall. So much fun.

Rode on the back of a bike in cut-offs and a tank top, while exceeding speeds of 100 MPH (we were racing my aunt and another guy who were on a Harley) no helmets or even shoes on.

Having a drinking contest to see who could drink 4 Long Island Ice Teas the fastest, I won, and then I got to drive home about an hour later. Very not smart!

There are so many more, I have almost grown up, but not quite there yet. Lol

All involved man-made drugs. Driving an hour while coming down and all I remember was a black out, though I made it there somehow without being killed or arrested, taking like 5+ uppers and 5+ downers at the same time... all those stupid, dangerous mistakes were from the summer I turned 18. Thankfully, the summer I turned 19 I had my son and all of that ended.

The most dangerous thing I've done in the past year? Ride on a golf cart with my boss (who was on cough syrup) down a very steep, wet grade. She took it a bit faster than I would have liked..

Oh there was sooo much stupid; my mom even still reminds me of some of them. Every now and then I will accidentally spill a secret during the weekly "Mom and dad call".

Wanted a BMX bike in grade school, but my folks wouldn't spent the money. I wanted to be able to do the tricks:) Sticking your foot in the front tire to do a wheely is not a briliant idea. Especially with a little speed behind you.

Did a lot of mountain biking in Japan (Iwakuni). Tried to jump off a 5 foot cliff in a sand quary after 3 days of rain...Lets just say that the pedal imprint in the side of my head (thru the helmet) has faded nicely over the years.

Got up to 47 Kph (according to the generic spedometer) on the same mountain bike on the back of castle mountain in Iwakuni when the trail shifted due to a tree falling. I didn't realize that, yes, you actually can fold a tire in half with the rubber touching:) and it does look like a taco at that point.

If you have ever been on 10 highway headed west our of Ramona CA. There is a stretch that is perfectly straight, about 3 miles long and down hill. I had a new VTR1000 (sport bike). There was a peg on the speedometer at 190. Yeah, I always wondered what they meant by "pegged out". I also always wondered what was meant by "tunnel vision". I damn near couldn't see anything, and it felt as if I lifted my head at all I would be ripped off the bike.

I told my 4 year old "No" this last weekend.

Went to work at a Ductile Iron foundry one morning still drunk (party and all), problem was that I worked on the melt deck with 70 ton open hearth (in the floor with no lip, like a swimming pool) furnace with broken doors. Could easily have just walked in... It's only about 3100 degrees in there:)

Oops... Gotta go! Acupuncture with electricity to try and help some tendinitis developed from working out hard after ten years of sitting on my *kitten*. Wait! Does that 10 years count for this list???

200+ mph on a Hayabusa

How? and pics on modifications if it was that way.

I've seriously done soo much stupid *kitten* in my lifetime its pretty embarrassing.... fights, drugs, one nighter in jail....you name it...i've probably done it.

Wow, I have done one nighters and all nighters, but for some reason would not want the whole jail watching :-)

Just saying....

Judging much?

So many sketchy stupid Internet dates. It's a wonder I didn't end up raped and/or murdered. I have some great $hitty first/only date stories though. My friends think they're hilarious!

tore the tag off a mattress once.

i sure hope there's not an outstanding warrant for me. :embarassed:

ETA: also, apparently my occasional consumption of Diet Pepsi counts on this thread too.

What is your full name? I am turning you in.

Eating between 600-1200 calories a day for a few weeks and losing a third of my body weight was probably not the best idea

Try and lose weight on 1200 calories or less

Stealing my parents car with my sister at 15 and driving 2 hours away to see my druggy boyfriend in an Iowa snowstorm. On the way back, we got backdrafted by a semi, the car spun and pinned me in one against the bridge, which started sinking. Was very close to death that night.

The semi didn't even stop. We had no cell service and had to wait for a passing cop to stop and help while cars were just driving over the bridge, no problem. Was pinned for probably an hour.

i go into abandoned buildings to take photographs - - i rarely take anyone with me....and i most definitely am not in good enough shape to run from the cops (for more than a few steps anyway)....and my big body makes it very hard for me to hide.......lol

We couldn't find any sleds, so we down a huge hill while inside of a 6' tractor tire. Had 3 guys in at one point....that's when we fuked ourselves up hitting a bunch trees
