Ever had one?



Here is one of mine:



My car broke down on a bridge one night on the way home from San Fransisco.. Before it broke down it let out a massive amount of smoke.. Enough to cloud anyone's vision. Being on a bridge, there is no where pull over. While my car was slowing to a stop, I see headlights through the smoke coming at me at full speed.. I brace myself for impact and certain death.. My legs tightened and I guess I put my foot on the break pedal.. My break lights then lit up and the driver of the car (which happened to be a hummer of all things) jerked the wheel at the last second and ended up just hitting the left side of car leaving some damage but thats better than getting killed!

Needless to say I jumped out of the car right after that happened, walked a good distance away from it, and waited for a police car to come. They pushed me off the bridge and I called my friends aunt for a ride back to her place.
 
Unlucky, Didn't the hummer see all the smoke and stop?



Well, Good thing your safe.

I very nearly died when I was born ..the doctors said that I was a medical miracle and couldnt explain how I'd survived....I had to have extra developmental checks till I was 3 cause that's how long it can take for brain damage to show up.

Then a few years ago, a car jumped a red light when it was supposed to be safe for me to cross. He was speeding and appeared out of nowhere. But something told me to be cautious...if I hadn't listened to my gut feeling, he'd have hit me and most likely killed me as he was going so very fast...he missed me by a couple of inches....he skidded across the anti skid surface, and for a few weeks after, his tyre marks remained....it wasnt a nice thing for my parents to see whenever they had to cross that same road afterwards.

Why is that unlucky? You think he should have rammed into me going 80 miles per hour (129km) instead of swerving out of the way at the last second when he seen my break lights?
 
lets see....



I have been shot

i have gotten hit by three cars

lol can't remember the other stuff
 
Depends on where you were shot if its life threatening or not.
 
Well, I was born with a fever. I had to have an IV, so it was probably a huge deal.

I haven't had one, I feel so lucky.
 
I almost got hit by a car,If I had moved forward I would've been seriously injured.
 
The bint who didnt stop at the junction today scared the hell outta me. My fiance slammed the breaks on in time but she got some serious verbal from me!
