A favorite on /r/askreddit, or at least it seems that way to me.
I only have one, and it’s not very entertaining.
I was on a bus going to work. A few stops before mine the bus gets cut off by another bus. The driver started yelling at the other driver then pulled over and got out of the bus to, I assume, escalate the conflict. We were near my stop anyway, so I got off before things could get hairy.
Was at a seedy bar with my mate, in a bad area, in a dangerous country. My mate told me we should leave because things were looking sketchy, and we had run out of money. Both of us reasonably drunk. I was starting to get the feeling of panic. We managed to get outside and i ordered a taxi. My mate ran back inside to piss after I had told him don’t fucking go back inside. After waiting ages I went back in and found the bar owner pushing drugs onto my mate. This was very very illegal in this country, like jail for foreigners, and my mate was trying to play it cool but whispered to me that it was a very bad situation because he couldn’t say no to this guy but he had no cash. Luckily, I had a spare emergency note of the biggest denomination in my pocket which was just enough to cover the drugs. We finally got outside.
The bar owner offered to call us a taxi and when I told him I already had, he seemed very irritated. I don’t know what would have happened if we had taken his taxi.
I’ve ommitted many details so this may seem less scary than it was at the time. But to this day it haunts me, and I wonder how close I came to being kidnapped and ransomed, or blackmailed, or worse.
When you’re in foreign countries, don’t be stupid. Stay in the safe places. Stay the fuck away from anything sketchy.
Your buddy is lucky to have a friend like you. Sorry you had to go through that.
Thanks, I hope I get over the anxiety about it one day. I would be happy if my story can eventually save someone else. He ended up saving my life in a different situation only a few days later.
I was smoking weed in an alleyway and some homeless dude (HD1) drew a knife on another homeless dude (hd2) and demanded that HD2 let HD1 buy HD2 some meth.
Sucked because it was behind my apartment so getting out was just going inside.
My friend and I were ghost hunting in an abandoned ghost town in OR. We were there pretty late in the night and literally heard so many whispers and she swear she saw a man following us so that’s was our queue to leave ASAP.
I’ll often say this to my kids, for example, when an establishment is closing.

When the crowd started getting surly because Billy Corgan just threw his guitar down on the stage and stormed off after somebody in the floor crowd threw a shoe and hit him in the head.
Pretty much every time I go to the grocery store ends like this.
This lady on the street wanted me to get her a Popeye’s chicken sandwich, and she offered to pay me back with a blowjob.
That was a wild lunch break.
Who hasn’t sucked dick for a chicken sandwich?
Passing a chicken sandwich though the urethra sounds challenging…
Think I’ll stick to KFC.
Did you buy her one? She must have been desperate.
I did, but she wasn’t there when I got back.
Aww, shame. But great that you tried.
Eh, at least you got food for later.
people got into fights over those chicken sandwiches 😂
One time I was waiting for the bus and a homeless guy offered me a bj. I politely declined. He persisted and tried to convince me. Idk what his deal was, he didn’t seem drunk or anything. It was the middle of the day too, like 3pm. People were around. Wierd
For real? Were there cameras rolling? Damn, I hope the ride was uneventful for the remainder.
It wasn’t in the bus, it was at the bus stop. And yes that was the only wierd thing
Just a bro try’na help another bro out.
Popeyes is fire.
You left out the most important part! How was the head?
Somehow, the less teeth they have, the more teeth you feel, so not great.
teeth you feel,
I call the situation a bit risky when she’s still hungry.
My first date with my wife, we were waiting to order and someone came up to me and tried to sell me an 8 Ball and some acid.
but were the drugs good though?
Good enough to get me married.
I know that I’m obviously missing that “8-Ball” is a drug reference to something, but I choose to believe that this person walked up to your table, offered to sell you acid, and basically said “if you get 15 tabs, I’ll throw in this resin billiard ball for free.”, pulled out an actual 8-ball, and slammed it down on the table, with a look on their face like they had just made the most compelling argument possible.
An 8 ball is a measurement for cocaine.
I just moved just outside a major city in Texas. Me and my roommate decided to explore the city so we drove downtown, parked and just started walking around. We walked past a train station and there were people openly smoking weed wondering around the train station. This was in 2015, way before any weed legalization and it’s still illegal in Texas.
Now I don’t care about people smoking weed, most are nice and at most will just ask if you have money, have weed, or are looking to buy weed. I don’t even care if you do other drugs as long as you can handle it, know your limit and stay within it.
What bothered me is across the street there were two police cars just watching. Standing out of their cars just watching. That means they didn’t care about the low level weed crimes. They were there incase something larger went off. They were there in case of stabbings, shootings, mugging etc. I got out of there ASAP and never went back
we were planning to stick out a major bushfire that was approaching but we had the truck loaded just in case, done prep work etc then my (f) partner, who was a firefighter, was called by her Captain and he said they are pulling the strike team out as its too dangerous… i literally said " we are leaving now " and we did and drove though the fire.
Three times in my life I’ve been in proximity to large bushfires, alone with no transport.
I did the whole routine with stopping gutters and getting hoses ready, but in a couple of those places there wasn’t much water pressure to work with.
Lucky the wind never turned in my direction.
When the owner of the pet I was hired to look after arrived home early
Username hopefully doesn’t check out
I don’t have one as dramatic as yours, but a month ot so ago, I was on the bus to the office, I had my Bose headphones on and was half asleep with closed eyes.
The bus were stopped, and I suddenly noticed an acrid smell, like burning plastic.
I opened my eyes and saw the interior or the bus filled with a haze of smoke.
The doors were open and the last few other passengers were spontaneously evacuating.
So I knew I had to leave and got out in 5 sec.
I think bus on fire beats irate driver.
To be fair, I never saw any fire, and when the bus was evacuated, the driver drove on, probably to a garage or so.
Dude was screaming, to no one, about how much he hates white people, flipping off police cars that drove by, and pacing back and forth. I chilled off to the side, just hoping he wouldn’t bother me, for about 5 minutes before I decided to walk to the next stop.
There were a few times in the jail where I had to leave because of fights. I’ve also gone home a few times because harassment from a coworker disregulated me so badly that I was too upset to stay.
Reminds me of this time a guy was trying to fight god. God was this sign on top of a building. He was yelling at him, firing imaginary guns at him, even a bow and arrow.
We didn’t leave for a few minutes though, and backed him up a bit. Great night. Not sure if he succeeded though.
Seeing how things are going these days, I kind of suspect that he did succeed. Good for him I guess.
In the early 2000s, then-girlfriend and I were at a goth club we went to every weekend. Just had a weird feeling that night and decided to leave early. Someone fatally shot a guy we knew not long after we left. I don’t know if they ever found the shooter or the motive. In years of going there, I saw I think two fights ever and it was university fratboys who came to look at the freaks. All in all, we were quite a peaceful crowd (mosh pit nonwithstanding).
