An incompetent vet killed my dog by giving him too much of a stimulant after the animal was slow to come out of sedation.

he only offered to waive his fee.

waited a few weeks, then I smashed the **** out of all of his windows off Williams Drive in Georgetown, only to realize there was a cop car at the 7-11 that was right near where the Piggly-Wiggly was./used to be.

my scrawny punk ass never ran faster than at that moment.

totally worth it.

I was camping in the national forest in California and I woke up to the smell of smoke. A wild fire had started during the night and was quickly engulfing the area. I left my tent and belongings and was lucky the forest road was still open for driving to get out.

driving 35W south just south of denton. Northbound traffic had slowed, but a semi with 500 gallon propane tanks didn't stop in time. Sandwiched and obliterated at small sedan between it and another semi probably doing 50+. Tanks come flying off the semi and jetting/popping/blowing up in air. Was maybe 50-70 yards from the accident when it happened, got the hell out of there before more blew up.

I was at a huge party at some crappy apartments on Anderson, between Holleman and George Bush. It wasn't the ones with no street-facing windows, but the small complex just north of the old Sevilla.

Anyway, the party was in a second floor apartment and it was shoulder to shoulder with people. Absolutely packed. The downstairs neighbors came running in and started yelling that the sheetrock in their ceiling was cracking because the floor was buckling. It was a mad scramble to get out of the door as fast as possible before the whole thing caved.

Asleep on the 3rd floor of one of Saddam's palaces. RPG hits the floor below me at 0230hrs. Yep, time to leave and change my shorts.

When the truth comes out, do not ask me how I knew.
Ask yourself why you did not.

Oh, you want war stories...

When the missus was dealing with being pregnant, there were plenty of times where I needed to get the hell outta there.

1993, on I-35 just north of Ok City, just before dark, driving with wife and two-yr-old. All of a sudden, skies got pitch black, roaring winds, and pelting rain. Turned on the radio to hear reporter talking of a massive tornado north of Ok City.

She is screaming, "If you are in these counties, take shelter immediately! We are driving and have no idea what county we are in or the counties around us. Decided to turn around and find shelter in the city but the median was flooded and it seemed like an eternity to find a crossover we could pass. The radio is still screaming about taking immediate shelter.

We were petrified.

Even when I finally turned around, I still had to find a hotel or someplace to hunker down. Sideways rain and wind made it tough to stay on and even see I-35.

Finally found a hotel and clerk immediately sent us to the basement where we waited things out. About 30 minutes later, this family walks in, all beat up and bleeding. Said they were in a closet in their house and everything just exploded around them. Remember giving them our son's diaper bag as they had an infant.

About as white knuckled as I've ever been.

Was fishing on Lake Conroe in a small boat and got caught off guard by a huge thunderstorm that blew up behind me. Next think I know I hear thunder start going and it gets dark, and as I realize I've ignored it too long and let it get way too close, lightning hits the shoreline WAY to close for comfort, and a big blast of wind starts kicking up waves uncomfortably large white capping waves. I go running out of there towards the boat ramp as fast as I dared back across the main lake and that whole run was white knuckle smashing through waves in a 40mph wind with way too much lightning, getting pelted by huge rain drops, but I managed to make it to cover before the worst of it and the big downpour hit. It was just that moment of looking up at that dark wall of cloud bearing down and realizing it was time to haul ass or I was getting caught in it and have to ride it out with all that damn lightning.

I have a few more from my teenage years of doing stupid things like most people do.

One Friday night I took a pill or maybe two
Down at the car park I saw everyone I knew
And before the night was started, we had planned to crash a party
Just a place that someone knew
A local house belonging to a gangster's crew

And at the door, they shone a light into my face
Have to admit I felt a little out of place
But I made my way inside past a thousand crazy eyes
Then a friend took me aside, said: "everyone here has a knife"

In the early 80's,Friend of mine was getting married so me & a couple of other buddies decided to take the groom to the Dirty Sock before his wedding. None of us had ever been there before, so we didn't know what to expect. We get there, get seated, order a drink & look around. Pretty tough crowd in there...even the patrons looked rough.....we asked each other if anyone wanted to leave. Everyone did, so we chugged our drink, paid the tab & shot outta there.

a friend of mine took us to the Paradise Pleasure Palace (???) in Amarillo back in the 90s.

Some chick was doing very unsanitary things with her head-to-ground length rat-tail that it made me very uncomfortable while getting dances.

The first Monday of the recent snowstorm. It had been freezing in Leander since Thursday and everything was iced over. On Sunday at 730pm we got a call that our gas was going to be out for an undetermined amount of time. That night it got to 0 and snowed at least 6 inches. To make matters worse, at about 2 in the morning power went out and killed our only space heater. Our house got down into the 40's and I realized it would be tough to keep our 10 month and 4 year old old kids warm. To make matters worse, we weren't getting any cell service. Luckily we were able to get a few SOS texts out and some friends booked us a room at a nearby hotel.

We live off 1431, right on the edge of Jonestown. The road is extremely hilly with some significant drop offs past the shoulder and had not been de-winterized at all. It was one of the most stressful 4 mile stretches I've ever driven.

On a positive note, since I knew we were leaving I took every step imaginable to winterize my plumbing and I think that really saved our plumbing from freezing. Gas service wasn't restored until the following Saturday (6 days).

It was a stressful 12-15 hours.

i was a well behaved baptist but went to school with a bunch of catholics who enjoyed their good times in West Texas in the 90s.

i hung out with them regularly, but usually took off when alcohol or bad ideas started happening. one time, a younger guy was with us and to impress us, he whipped out a picture of his sister and some other girls that drunkenly decided to take a picture of themselves topless in their hot tub. not that i was above liking naked girls at that, age, but it felt a bit weird/wrong. they started hooting and hollering and i decided it was time to head out.

come Monday, all the guys were acting like something was up. they had decided to print off iron on decals and put them on undershirts and they all wore them to school. because we're stupid, of course it got out.

we all got called into the principal's office and they started grilling everybody about it. my friends make it really clear that i wasn't involved, and then get excused. they tried to get me to narc, but i left so i knew nothing about it.

in 99, that was just boys being boys and they all got detention and calls to parents. in 2021 those dudes would be toast for the rest of their life for possession and distribution of child pornography.

This is kind of embarrassing for me but here it goes....

First time to NYC and taking cab to somewhere. Cab drivers in NYC live up to their reputation - crazy and always yelling at other motorists. We got cut off by another car so cabbie got pissed and pulled up next to the other car at stop light and both of them started to scream and cuss each other out. Light turned green and both these fkers stopped on the side of the road and other guy got out of the car.

I wasn't about to get gunned down in a barrage of bullets in a fking cab so I was about to hightail it out of the cab and run. Cabbie grabbed my arm and told me to relax and that nothing is going to happen. They just yelled at each other again for another minute before the other guy got in his car and drove off.

A guy I knew in the Marines got busted trying to enter the front gate of Camp Hansen Okinawa, buck naked.

His initial story was that he got robbed in Kinville and the robbers made him take off his clothes. Turns out he was banging some guys wife, the husband came home, and he bailed out the window sans clothes.

We busted out ASAP, I was also joyriding my family car, on the short drive home we could hear sirens, I pulled over and the cop kept going. I never been so close to ****ting myself

Years ago I took my wife to a dive bar, because dive bar. One of the patrons recognized me as a prosecutor and started chatting me up about criminal justice. The owner/bartender came over on the other side of me and introduced herself, saying her name was "Emergency" and looking me right in the eyes. I promptly paid my tab in cash and GTFO.

Back when those little bottle rockets were legal to sell in Texas but not legal to posess in my town, my friend and I were lighting them in a bottle at the end of the driveway. I went up to light one and as I did my friend yells, "cop!". Just after I lit it I looked up and saw the cop coming up the street. In my haste to make like a tree I knocked over the bottle. I looked back to see my rocket shoot under the police car, bounce around, and explode under the car. He kept rolling on like nothing had happened.

I guess his donut was too good to look away.

Back in college around 1988, we were at one of our normal weekend parties in Plantation Oaks, and this was right before Christmas break.
We are already through 3 kegs and around midnight when someone brought out Hair Clippers and said "Who wants to shave the side of their head?"
I immediately knew I was in no shape to make a good decision just quietly snuck out and walked back to my apartement.

I wake up the next morning/mid-day and find out one friend from hometown spent night and has both sides of his head shaved, and my roommate has one-side shaved before he realized "hey this might be a mistake"

both having to go home the next day for Christmas break.

Was in a Kroger late at night with my buddy, near the front of the produce section, which was next to the Service Counter, when a gangsta vaulted over the counter waving a .45 and screaming at the attendant. My half-deaf buddy was oblivious and continued to wander towards the action, so I dashed up and grabbed him by the collar and dragged him back (wtf? dude!). Got to the back of produce and decamped behind the watermelons before I could explain.

Las Vegas strip either side of 1980. I'm outside the Riviera at a bus stop heading downtown. My cheap side got hold of me and I didn't want to pop for a taxi. At the stop are a couple and a young man in a Circus Circus uniform, probably a busboy, Block long Cadillac limo pulls up, guy in a suit gets out with a set of brass knuckles , cold cocks the male half of the couple, and gets back in the limo and departs. Thought to myself, this is a good time to be somewhere else. Came back about 15 minutes later, couple is gone, but the busboy is still there. I guess for him it was just another day at the office.
The person that is not willing to fight and die, if need be, for his country has no right to life.

Workplace shooting. There's a thread about it on the AO board because I posted live when it was happening.


Disgruntled former judge went and shot up the financial advisors office one floor below mine. a coworker thought he heard something like weird like a loud bang and we went into the fire stairwell I made it 3 or 4 steps down and peered over the railing. There was a massive trail of blood leading all the way down the stairwell. I later found out it was from someone who had been shot in the neck. As soon as I saw the blood, I heard shouting and screaming from the other side of the door. Thought. nope, I'm out and ran back upstairs.

Too many, but a few I can think of off the top of my head.

1. High school. Young and dumb had about $500 worth of fireworks stuffed in the back seat that a bunch of friends pooled money together and bought. Dumbass friend lights one in the backseat thinking it'd be funny. Drops it, ignites a bunch of them - lights car on fire.

2. College. Got into a MASSIVE bar fight at a pretty sketchy place. Young, dumb, untouchable I jumped in even though it wasn't my fight...just thought it'd be fun. Knives and guns get pulled out. People start getting stabbed and shots start firing. I was not armed. Left very quickly.

3. Early adult years I ran around with a pretty tough crowd doing some not so legal activities. Watched a guy be force-fed the barrel of a pistol as a threat. Decided to turn my life around not long after that.

Outran a train w/ my brother and bro-in-law when I was 16.

We were exploring some tracks outside of BCS and walked over a long bridge. As we were nearing the other side we see a train coming toward us. It seemed like it was waaaay far off. So like idiots, instead of continuing and stepping off the end of the bridge, we turn around to run the long way back across it.

We made it across with nearly a second to spare, and my dad about had a heart attack watching the 3 of us almost get splattered.

When the conductors got off we were sure they would rip us a new one. But they were very chill. I guess they see idiots all the time.
