For me it was probably bungee jumping upside down and backwards at a fair lol. Or going into this place in north Philly for BBQ that has an average of 3 shootings a night or something... But darn good BBQ that Dwights was mmmmm

    police chase on a motorcycle

    Did you outrun them?
  • I don't deliberately do crazy things, but in hindsight some crazy things have happened to me (although I didn't really recognise them as such, but some of my friends have), partly because of my generally apathetic/indifferent attitude towards life/other people in it (I don't think I have to be cautious even when I should) and also due to random occurrences, I guess.

    My family was held "gun point" by a heroin addict (after my ex-Soviet military dad got him in chokehold, it turned out to be a replica gun.) ..It was because we were remodeling our house and were making too much noise, guy was coming down hard.

    When I was around five there were loads of car bombs being set of where I lived (Russian mafia dealing with.. well, their own I guess.) My windows got almost blown off. It was the early days of Estonian re-independence from Soviet Union, things weren't going very smoothly.

    I narrowly escaped being stabbed.

    A guy who got stabbed (ex-con whose family lived near my grandparents) bled all over our rug while we were calling ambulance.

    Saw a girl break her neck and seize, pulled my friends away to make room for emergency trained security people to come help.. only to watch them pull her into a sitting position from the straps of her bag. I doubt she ever walked after this. :/


    Haha, and I'm not even from a place with a high crime rate or anything.. I just always happen to be present when something statistically odd is happening. It's almost a talent.

    Oh my god. Speechless. That is insane. I'm sorry you have been through all of that but I bet it has made you partly who you are today

    Been held at gun point before (worked out fine obviously), been bitten by tigers on a few occasions (again nothing severe), worked with some of my favourite musicians... Can't think of any others right now but I'm sure they'll come to me...

    Oh yeah I accidentally stayed in a sex hotel with my mate once, we were severely dehydrated after cycling 60 miles in severe heat and humidity and just wanted somewhere to stay... We stopped at the first place we could see and couldn't understand why everyone was laughing due to the language barrier until we got into our room and it was themed around a space ship and there was a massive mirror above the bed... At about two in the morning someone tried to break in so we had to barricade the door with our bikes and camera gear. We didn't get much sleep understandably and left at sun rise lol

    It's fine, like I said - I didn't even realise it might be considered odd and none of those things really scared me at the time or later. Except for bombings, I remember being anxious about them, because cars were parked right outside the houses and I lived on the ground floor.. and to a five year old they seemed random.

    Other than that, I probably should have been an EMT or something, because I feel energised by these situations and can retain calmness.. unlike my boyfriend, haha.

    That reminds me of my friends and their experiences in Amsterdam (it's always Amsterdam.. tell me the sex hotel thing happened in Amsterdam..)

    I stole a purse from the mall once! Also, walking back to our car after a Kelly Clarkson concert in the fair grounds of our little town, two rival gangs shot at each other right in front of us.

    That predictable hey lol

    Going back to Amsterdam, the first time I went they had double booked our room in the hostel. The receptionist had been partaking heavily when we arrived and gave us a free stay if we slept the first night in the lobby/ breakfast hall. We agreed and our first night got a bit out of hand.

    When I woke up I could see feet in front of me and it turns out I was asleep underneath a breakfast table that people were eating at. So as casually as one could in that scenario I just slowly appeared from under the table and joined them for breakfast haha I panicked but thankfully they seemed fine with it

    That reminds me.. I once got into a car of a completely wasted person (I was with a group of friends, otherwise I'm not in a habit of getting into strangers' cars) I live on a large cliff.. overlooking beach.. if that *kitten* had lost control of the car, we'd all be dead. He'd had two bottles of vodka.. I should've known, it was St. John's Eve (aka big holiday in Estonia and some other countries.)

    I won't say the very craziest...

    But a close second is moving 700 miles away to be with my then boyfriend who I met online and who I'd only been "dating" for 6 months and had spent only about 2 weeks total in person with. We broke up after 5 years of living together but I'm still living in the same area.

    Haha, hostel people are awesome.. super laid back and don't have very high expectations, so a random person emerging from under the table probably wouldn't raise that many eyebrows.

    My friends got lost in Amsterdam somewhere in red light district and a coke dealer approached them offering them his merchandise.. my friends declined (they were sixteen.. although not all that innocent.) Guy put some on his finger and basically forced it in their mouth.. when they still tried to decline, he pulled a knife and basically told them, they'd already taken some of his coke, so they have to buy the rest.. That's how they ended up doing coke for the first time. Apparently it wasn't very enjoyable.

    The second time they went to Amsterdam they also ended up in a weird sex hostel.

    Haha, honestly, I don't think they really cared. Considering that is how most of their trips end up like, probably because they pick such typical british lad holiday spots. Same guy got his *kitten* badly tattooed while drunk in Magaluf and slept with a prostitute in Amsterdam (for the first time in his life, he was too nervous to do it like a normal person, with y'know, a regular girl.. or guy or something.)

    Oh dear lol

    That reminded me of a festival where I was way too drunk and ended up getting a tattoo done on a bus there... Have never done the prostitute one though! Although me and a friend stumbled across a 'lady of the night' being mugged down an alley that lead to our hostel in Bangkok and we chased the attacker off and bought her a drink lol
