Parents used to give me sh!t for learning bushcraft and survival as a child and early teen they used to say "you'll never need to use those skills in your entire life" they made me homeless at age 16 and my bushcraft and survival skills are the only reason why I was able to survive 8 years of homelessness
Damn. You good now?
Well they were just trying to see if any one of those skills you learnt will come in handy and evidently it did
Please tell me you are over 30. Please.
your parents did that to! i use to read the medical books about viruses and stuff from barnes and nobel back in 2006-2008 i spent so much money on those... my mom said the same thing... then covid hit. and i was ready with prior pandemic knowledge
Damn are you okay?
As a kid, I was completely obsessed with tornados. I would watch all the documentaries and watch all the TH-cam videos about them.
One day, I was looking out of my window when I realised the clouds to my left were going on way, and the clouds to my right were going the other way. I was right underneath a massive rotating cloud, which were known for spawning tornados.
Immediately I started packing my most important things into a tiny storage box and went downstairs to tell my parents that we should go storm chasing. Of course, they didn’t believe me (I was around 9ish years old back then) so we didn’t do anything.
The next day, all the kids at school were talking about a confirmed tornado that touched down close to where I lived (nationally speaking of course), which was absolutely in driving range. I was absolutely furious with my parents for not believing me and I still haven’t forgiven them to this day.
TL;DR: I predicted a tornado and nobody believed me.
I love all natural disasters like tsunamis tornados and volcanoes god they are beautiful I wanna experience a tornado 😭👍🏽
Please tell me you mock your parents every now and then to remember this pls
I totally understand the frustration

I used to obsessively carry food around with me in HS. Anytime I heard someone’s stomach growl in class I’d leave a granola bar at the corner of their desk.
Pros- No one went hungry on my watch.
Cons- Being constantly asked for snacks.
I did that in college she i still do that. Came in handy a few times. I'm there all day so i always bring a lot
Like the second to last post, you’d be any diabetics god in the moment
You're hella nice
Thats so sweet! I hope someday they would also do something like that for u :)
Awww, that's so nice! Especially since a lot of kids don't get given food or lunch money, just giving them a snack might've been the highlight of their school year!
My anxious ass helped my friends pass exams because i was good at predicting exam questions and because i knew what my friends usually don't focus on during studying, i literally grabbed a friend before entering an exam and made them memorize something that ended up being the first question on the exam
Omg my sister did that to me for a college biology exam . I was the only one who actually passed with a 66 .
oh my gosh - teach me?!!
You have a Gift! AND you're a great friend.
I'm good at guessing questions as well but each time I do that guess I always think nah they can't do that dirty to us right and it doesn't make sense to ask those so I don't study them even though I keep thinking about they're gonna ask, dang they're gonna ask and guess what, they do ask those topics and questions etc. and I end up beating myself up, like why are u like this T^T

When my wife and I opened an Internet cafe, I placed all the PCs on three-quarter inch thick pieces of wood. This kept the PCs elevated off the floor encase of a flood. I also ran all cables, especially electrical, up and off the floor as an additional precaution. I also made sure that all storage of merchandise, etc. was off the floor. My wife laughed.
She was not laughing a couple years later when a pipe burst in the night and flooded the cafe with a half-inch of water. If not for the boards, the PCs would have been ruined. No short circuits, either, as, having been run elevated, no electrical cables were inundated.
An hour or so clean up later, we were back in business.
I may start doing this with my house furniture.
When that kind of thing happens, you know your wife will love you for the rest of your life.
Did you file a divorce? I know your wife wouldn't, now she just learned a valuable lesson and might just be a keeper to you.

And Oregon too, as an Oregonian last year our home was put under level 2 evacuation, which is one step away from “Run.” So now I’m very terrified for this years wildfire season.
Bro I live on the other side of the country but that didn’t stop my house from burning down...
As a kid I was terrified that one day I would hurt one of my legs and I wouldn’t be able to get anywhere because my other leg wouldn’t be strong enough to support me. Because of this I would spend about 15 min a day hopping up and down the stairs on one leg, periodically switching out between them so they both got equally as strong. Fast forward a couple years and my foot gets slammed in a door, making me almost lose one of my toes. I still managed to get around the house super easily because it was muscle memory to just hop on one leg everywhere lol
Bro I did that too I’m now able to hop on one leg for like 20 minutes before getting tired
Honestly I was expecting "til one day I broke my leg falling down the stairs".
dang i should try that

I remember doing the dishes one time when I was much younger. While I was rinsing the plates I noticed that a bunch of knives were face up and went out of my way to flip them so the hilt was facing up instead of the blade because I had this terrible image of one of my siblings falling on so many knives. I recognized it was dangerous and not even five minutes later my brothers started rough housing and my baby brother fell into the dishwasher right on the knives I had just finished flipping. He sprang back up and acted like nothing happened, but I was so shocked and pretty scared. I always make it a point to put knives facing down into the dishwasher now, I don't know who put it up that day and I'm grateful I had a lowkey OCD urge to fix it due to an unlikely and irrational fear that somehow came true.
Whoever put those knives facing up was an imbecile. Good job to you for correcting their mistake.
Here's my story:
I'm a muslim
And in my country everyone sacrifices a cow for qurbani.(to all those anti muslims saying it's bad, research before saying shit) we usually visit everyones cow. My neighbors got a cow that was angry and strong as freak.(It's like those angry bulls you see in yt videos) And the rope it was tide with was super thin for some stupid reason. Everyone(around 8-12 people) surrounded it to see it. I was super anxious that the rope would get broken(I can't remember the correct word, sorry) and the cow would start to kill people. So I made a plan that if the rope gets broken(sorry again) I will go for the stairs(we all live in appertment buildings here unlike people of most other countries) since the cow obviously couldn't climb stairs as first as I could. And guess what, the rope got broken(sorry), and I went for the stairs without looking anywhere. Turns out some of the people got injuried close to death. Some of them were bleeding badly. The cow didn't even follow me to the stairs. It just hurted people that went to the gate to escape and escaped itself. The person who bought the cow cried a lot. Since it costed him 2,00,000bdt which is arround 2500 usd. It might sound cheap but its a lot in our country. It was like losing a brand new super expensive gaming pc you just bought.
But atleast my anxiety saved my life
Btw, we live in bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
@@justaloser4178 I think broken would be the right word. You could also say snapped or something like that.
That actually happened to these two siblings (I saw their story on TikTok) where a girl’s younger brother jumped off the counter and landed on a knife facing up. She called 911 and pressed around the wound to make sure he didn’t bleed out and he survived. I always flip the knifes and forks in my kitchen too bc I’m also short and I have to use a chair or climb the counter too.

I always carried little survival pack when in school/college: band-aids, extra underwear, medicine for allergies and painkillers, those little paper salt bags you get at restaurants (in case of low blood pressure events), some candy and a granola bar (in case of low blood sugar events), extra pads/tampons, toothbrush with floss and toothpaste, a pack of dry tissues and a pack of wet ones. I also always carried a face mask, latex gloves, a foldable umbrella and a light jacket, no matter the weather, a hand-held fan and a bottle full of water. I sometimes got made fun of, but I've helped quite a few people, and little emergencies happened fairly often. The band-aids, pads and painkillers were the most handed out items of the kit. The umbrella and extra jacket have also saved the day of many friends.
you've inspired me to up my emergency pack game!

In school I was known as the walking staples; I had literally everything in my backpack, including holepunchers and staplers.
But, alongside that, I had markers, colored pencils, and crayons-- most of which had last been used in a class setting in middle school. Every so often, I'd get a chance to bust these babies out, but generally, they just took up space.
Senior year, I'm a class assistant for freshman Bio, and for some reason, the teacher cannot find her art supplies for the activity, is about to just assign these poor kids some reading and a worksheet, and I pull out my massive collection of art supplies. Had scissors and glue and everything else too. I became known as Mom that year by just about everyone.
I shall aspire to be you.
I think being called Mum/Mom should be seen as a great honour
I used to do that, I just got bullied for it instead tho

I always had the secret fear that my grandparents would die overnight and I hadn't said goodbye.
so, since I was 7 years old, it takes me a good 5-10 minutes to say goodbye to my grandparents, with lots of kisses. one day my paternal grandfather died and I felt that I had said goodbye properly and I think my long farewells make me appreciate people much more, because I feel it could be the last. I haven't had an argument with my grandmother for 14 years because I'm too scared the last thing we do is argue. remember the last time I left her house angry, I came back in 10 minutes crying drool and snot and begging to be sorry. then my paternal grandmother died too, but I didn't say goodbye properly because she was in hospital and visits were limited. that disturbed me. so I take my goodbyes with my other two grandparents very seriously.
during the pandemic we couldn't be in their house very close and we didn't touch each other. I was able to repeat the words "kisses" "goodbye" and "all the best" hundreds of times
I do the same whenever my mom or other family members leave the house or whatever I say "goodbye I love you, be safe" and it gives me peace of mind
Yeah, I always tell my family that I love them when I say goodbye. I don't want them to die without having said that
when I was a kid I heard about people born without arms that use their feet for everything. I started practicing opening doors and such with my feet, just in case my arms got chopped off
fast-forward about 10 years, came home from shopping with my mom, we both have arms super full of grocery bags. "how are we gonna open the door?" my mom started setting down her bags while I kicked off my shoe and opened the door with my toes. she gave me a weird look and was like, "wh.... how did you do that?"
Oddly enough I'm in the same boat. Used to be a pretty sickly kid, so I knew from a young age that good health is really good luck and not guaranteed to last forever. Got paranoid enough into thinking 'but what if I have a stroke and I can't use one or both of my arms?'.
To this day, I'm proud that even when my arms are full, I can still open and close doors with my feet 😂. (And my left hand can do almost everything my right can).
Nice 🤣
I do that all the time
I used to dance and that came in real handy when I had my kids. You’ve got the baby the blankets the stroller the diaper bag maybe a bottle or 2 . So you open the door or gate with your feet

My homie, in January, said something like, “There was a plague every hundred years in the twenties. This’ll confirmed this year.”
I thought he was just messing with me and then Covid hit and I can’t stop thinking about this.
Well, I mean, 1920 flu pandemic, 1818 plague, yea, we knew something was coming
Good thing we won't be around by the next one
1720 - 1721 had a bubonic plague in France.
When Covid had just started spreading in Wuhan and news were circulating about it, my friend said that it was just a matter of time before it would spread to our country (Italy) and everywhere. We shrugged her off and said she was just exaggerating, that China was too far away for it to spread here. WELL. I still think about it too.
I also called it that a large empire will collapse due to a pandemic…like Rome… cough usa cough 😷
The 'shower-gun' scenario still has me rolling in laughter the twentieth time I listened to it!

When he was saying how he just charged the guy with a glock I kinda just assumed he wasn't going to shoot, just use the gun as a glorified melee weapon of sorts

I didn't have a nurse, but my older sister used to be a lifeguard. As it happens, my superpower is identifying who will ask the most awkward personal questions at any large gathering and arranging to monitor them from afar to proactively prevent being drawn into uncomfortable conversation. Anyway, at one holiday dinner the person on my radar went suspiciously silent and I looked up from down the table, thinking that this didn't bode well. Realizing that she was choking and the people around her hadn't caught on, I called "Heimlich!" to my sister and pointed. Sister was up and behind our person-in-distress in a blink and the food popped out of her mouth seconds later. I like to think my asocial tendencies saved a life that night.

Long, long ago, during my misspent youth, I took a large quantity of cannabis across two state lines.
Even though my husband made fun of my "overthinking it", I carefully packaged our cargo in glass jars, while wearing gloves.
I put the sealed jars back in their original packaging and wrapped it in Christmas paper, complete with ribbons and cards.
I dressed my disabled husband in his Santa Suit, donned my elf costume and headed home in a beautiful Christmasy music and cookies (infused cookies!) environment. It was lovely.
In a very windy area, the van was pushed into another lane by the wind. I was pulled over by Hiway Patrol. They took a look at us, ran their drug dog through the van, apologized for the inconvenience and wished us a Merry Christmas.

My high school forgot my diploma at my graduation. Not anyone else's, just mine. I had even reached out to like 3 different people the morning of to confirm that it was there, and got confirmation from all of them that they had (allegedly) seen it with their own eyes and that it would be there.
There was no real way to deal with it, so I just silently wept as the ceremony went on. Apparently it pissed my brother off so much to the point where he needed to leave early. I sent a very tearful email to my counselor, who had been the first to reply and assure me that it would be there.
When I got home, it was in the mailbox with a genuine apology and congratulation. It had been hand delivered by my counselor herself. Bless her heart, but man, it really killed my vibe.
I just wanted to walk across the stage, take my diploma and walk out, lol. I bet it somehow slipped through the cracks because I had skipped a year and was on file as an 11th grader, but at the same time... at the time, it was a very big mistake on the schools behalf.
my sister has pocket knives and I have 2 metal rods i found in my closet, so in the unlikely event that someone breaks in when we're home alone, they will get hit on the head and then stabbed by 2 overly paranoid kids
If you're going to use a pocket knife or similar, keep some bandages on hand also. Chances are if you stab someone, the blade will connect with bone and stop, your hand won't, and slide down the blade. Something with a wide hilt to keep your hand from slipping.
you should play the pipes like an instrument before combat less likely they will still fight

SHOWER GUNS FOR THE WIN

What the fuck is a shower gun?! 😂😂
Now I want a shower gun
@@nitrogenjutsu5178 A firearm you keep in a shower. You know those huge clothing storage bags you seal with a vacuum cleaner to take all the air out, and compress them? You stick it in one of those, and suck the air out. It keeps moisture away from the gun, which can cause damage to it and ruin it. You then find a strong plastic or aluminum clothes hanger, and hang the gun from that, and put the hanger over your shower head.
When attacked or home invaded while in the shower, you tear open the bag, rack the gun (keep the magazine full, safety OFF, but no round in the chamber, for safety), and wait for your unexpected and uninvited house guest to attempt to go full Norman Bates on you. Then you blast them.
EDIT: Recommended firearms are either a shotgun with a capacity of at least five shells (and include some spare shells in a seperate zip-loc baggie that's taped to the gun's stock or otherwise attached somewhere, in case you need to reload for multiple intruders), a stock basic AR-15 and a full 30-round magazine (or two 10-rounders taped bottom-to-bottom with a magazine feed lip cover on the exposed one), or a handgun with a capacity no fewer than 10 rounds - Glocks are good, but Ruger has a nice sub-$500 handgun on the market, too, the Security Nine.
Not overthinking as much as quick thinking but When i was in middle school i was taking a writing test and had to fart really bad and thought it was gonna be silent so i released the fart.

Worked as a river guide in Arizona. I always day dreamed about doing a 007 and jumping from one boat to another if the guide ever fell off with the engine running (would almost never happen because of the key killswitch attached to our PFDs)
One day I was going down river with no passengers and saw a boat hauling absolute ass up river towards me and I noticed people were hunched down and I couldn't see a driver. Before it got to where I was I had flipped my quad pontoon raft with two 135 marine engines around and gassed that sucker and got it on plane (over a certain speed so the pontoons lift out of the water and hydroplane on the water, only part in the water is the propeller) which is something we almost never do but I had to play catch up and for some reason the boat I was chasing was full throttled. The only reason I was able to catch up before a turn in the river was I had just me as weight and it had 15 guest on board. I pulled a good 20 ft in front and too the right of it and tore the killswitch out as I ran to the front of my boat and doves onto the other one. I straight speared some teenager when I landed and almost dragged him with me to get too the throttle and pulled it back and killed it. A couple moments more and I wouldn't have been able to do anything and they would have went into the rocks at full throttle. Turns out the guide unhooked his killswitch so he could walk to the front and get something out of the cooler while it was running. When he slipped off going around a guest he told them to pull the throttle back. Well from the able the guest are facing the throttle, pulling it back full sends that bitch. And that's exactly what happened and nobody thought to push it back the opposite way. I legit got a $100 tip from just one guy on that boat because he said he had to watch movies for stunts like that 😂

Just do your job, but express your issue whenever the opportunity arises, and tell your truth, because if you don't they'll use that against you in the future ("How are we supposed to know there was a problem, if you never said anything?!"). So I did that. And when we got a new batch of people who seemed to actually like me, and my bully realized it wouldn't look good to THESE people if she bullied me, she apologized in front of everybody for her actions and brought up the fact that I expressed what my issue was on a couple occasions, but she refused to listen at the time and made excuses. I also got an apology from her ex for treating me the same. So that's just the way I approach conflicts now: Expressing myself while keeping it classy, and just leaving it up to them how they respond. I don't beat people over the head with "You're wrong and you SHOULD apologize to me.". I don't even expect apologies. They just happen, whether it's because the person just doesn't want what they did on their conscience after they realize they actually hurt someone that didn't deserve it, or because they actually changed.

I’m always scared of my gut feelings, sometimes when I over think things they happen one way or another so I usually follow them. This one time I didn’t and I’ll regret it for the rest of my life, my only maternal aunt who I love as much as my mother, was healthy and was shifting to the city I went for college. After buying her house and going pack to pack up she got sick in the middle of shifting it wasn’t COVID but she was asthmatic and would have an attack every 3-4 years, here I was stressed with uni work and had to send off my assignments by courier and packed them us all day until I hear my mom talking to my aunt via video call asking if she’s ok, which I could clearly hear being in the next room, I had the sudden urge to get up and go talk to her then I just sit down and say after I’m done packing I’ll talk, when something in my heart screamed “what if it’s the last time” as paranoid as I was I dismissed this, little did I know that would be the last time I’d ever be able to hear her voice as she had a seizure after that and was put of life support until she died.
Listen to your paranoid guts kids. It’s better than a lifetime of regret.

i literally would plan conversations in my head with people that i had either been in an argument with, or liked in a romantic way. sometimes i planned a topic i knew me and ther person would agree with me on, and it worked. most of the time they had the audacity to not say what i thought they wpuld say and not do everything i thought they would do. the nerve of some people.
bro same! Every time i do something which might result in a confrontation or explanation needed, I'm planning it way too early. I haven't ever needed to use these I don't think, but when I do ill have every word planned out.
Username checks out
Me too but i usually imagine the conversation of me arguing with teachers about questions that i am solving in the moment and think they are solving it wrong lol and I keep telling them that they are wrong (mostly with teachers that i actually had problems with before. i guess i took a bad impression about them and always thought of them as bad or incompetent) and sometimes i remember old conversation and imagine different things i could have said or wanted to say
So basically you pulled a Joseph Joestar and predicted their lines
Same. I can spend literally hours planning a conversation (especially a confrontation) and worrying about it and then when the time comes it's nothing like I imagined.
One time I was loading some equipment into the back of an SUV. There was a small child in the front seat and the child’s grandmother was helping me load. While I was securing the items, the vehicle began to roll backward down the slope of my driveway. I ran around the back and hopped into the driver seat and slammed on the brakes before it had a chance to run into the road. I had prepared my whole life for a moment such as this and for whatever reason some toddler decided to test my preparation. The grandmother literally pissed her pants because she thought I had been run over… thankfully, no one was hurt and her vehicle was completely undamaged.

Starting after my eldest daughter was born, I began stocking a huge emergency supply kit. Like illogically huge. I used a whole tax return to get it. . I had a few months worth of food, meds, hygiene and other “apocalypse supplies” in case we couldn’t get to the store for some reason. I rotated the supplies often and just made sure we had about 3/4 months supplies always. The supplies were dipped into for a blizzard , but even that was two weeks only so my family still though it was overkill. I check it often and rotate older items out and out newer canned items in the supply. In March 20/20 the stores had no food or hygiene supplies and people had to get boxes from food banks and the national guard. We didn’t have to go wait in those hours long lines. A couple months later we became so sick we couldn’t go to the store (now i think there are some meds people can take and inhalers and stuff so it doesn’t turn full blown pneumonia , but my husband and I were both very sick at the same time and we couldn’t walk across a room . I was able to stand and walk around after 21 days, but DH had to go to care and get in-person breathing treatments and all our money went to co-pays , we still had bills to pay for heat and elevó and internet, and he couldn’t work so we were down for the count physically and financially. Bad luck that we both got covid pneumonia. Kids were mild cases and my kids had plenty of ready made food and hygiene products that they didn’t need to go without and we didn’t have to beg anyone to go to the store or anything or beg for money. We used our meager savings for the bills and co-pays and In the time it took for aide and reimbursement and such, we had enough food and hygiene products to get by and we made it. My family made fun of my canned food prep and supplies , and called me paranoid. It’s taken a year, it we are now re-stocked after our terrible year.

I have had severe anxiety since age 3. I was 9 years old and my step mom came to my house on the day that my mom had custody of me. She stormed inside my house and I said "have a seat" and got her a glass of water. She looked at me in the eyes. I panicked. I knew it had to be something bad, which with all my anxiety it ranged from my dog throwing up to my parents dying. She looked at me dead in the eyes and said "your daddy decided to leave this world." I was speechless. I was 9 years old with such bad anxiety that I was prepared for the news of my own fathers death. I tell this to people and they call me scary. It's terrifying what anxiety does to someone. Especially a child who doesn't fully understand the world.
When i was around 15 or 16 years old i had started to keep large soda bottles full of water, around maybe 5 or 6 of them under my bed. Every couple of weeks i would renew the water. My mom asked me why i did this and so i told her about the 64' earthquake in Alaska and how devastating it was so i wanted to have some water stored away. We live in Alaska, we were due for a another big shake so my brain thought it was a good idea. She argued with me saying we could just drink from the creek in the front yard. I told her that if a septic tank broke anywhere up river in the shake then the water could get contaminated, also if it was winter then there wouldn't be a way to get water without death. She shook her head and left.
That winter, we had very high winds and several trees fell on the power lines and we had a black out for a whole week. It was cold, i was fine due to having tons of blankets, pillows and the dog liked snuggling with me the most but the issue was food and water. Around day 4, my mom tried to take my water, saying everyone (7 people total) needed to drink and she was going to cook with it. I told her "No. You said i was crazy." and kept the big bottles in the blanket nest with me and the dog to keep them from freezing and from my mom taking them. She tried saying she wont feed me if i dont give her the water, she forgot i also had a stash of food and snacks i kept with my water. She just gave up, left and bought small bottles of water.
Was i selfish? Yes. I look back on this now and laugh.
I once had my phone in the car on the way to the bus stop, but then didn’t have it on the bus. Logically, I thought, I left it in the car, but my anxiety yelled “WHAT IF YOU GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND IT WAS IN YOUR LAP AND IT FEL ONTO THE ROAD AND GOT RUN OVER???” So I had my friend text my mom to check for it in the car. Somehow, by some very unlikely happening, it HAD Fallen into the road, and my father picked it up before it could get rained on or crushed. I just got my first not-previously-used-by-2-people iPhone, and probably would have been grounded for a year if I had broken or lost it like that
Hahah 😂 I love that I'm not the only one who had hand-me-down phones (all from my aunts).
We all been in that mindset once. But to it to actually happen is pretty rare 🤣
2 years ago I was going to the bus stop one dark and snowy morning in dec. Turns out it's a sub bus driver and so either she missed my stop or didn't stop at the one i usually went too. Anyways, I start walking to my friends house to see if they can give me a ride and my friend and her mom pass me and just pick me up(with no communication). Anyways we get dropped off at a bus stop that the bus didn't make it too yet and while we are waiting I realize I don't have my phone, so we call her mom to come back so that i can check the car for my phone. Can't find it in her car and so we go back to waiting. As I see the bus i think, "what if I dropped it getting out of the car?" So i start looking at the ground where we got dropped off which is a bit before where everyone was waiting. I start to get closer and then I see it but the bus will get to it first so I wait for the bus to pass and hope it doesn't get ran over. I watch the front wheel miss it but it was definitely ran over, up to 3 times. When I got out of the car and my friends mom left, when my friends mom came back, and when the bus came. Siri still worked though but the screen was more shattered than I've ever seen anything be shattered.
Ooh I actually have a few of these stories! My absolute Favorite was when I was able to help a princess! So in some of the Native tribes there is a girl who Is chosen to be princess of the tribe but it is a role of service to the tribe not a role of power. The princess has lots of hard work but for the good of the tribe she is happy to serve. Anyway there was a dance at my church and this princess and a group of wonderful people from her tribe gathered to run the dance and teach non natives about the different parts. They where prepping and getting their traditional costumes on when one of the moms outfits broke. The princess asked if anyone had a needle and thread. Sure enough I pulled out my emergency sewing kit from my backpack. I know it doesn't sound big but how often do you get to say you helped an actual princess.

My dad is a volunteer fireman, so he has always kept one of those emergency face masks that you use to give emergency breaths to an unconscious person (That way you don't need to touch lips) in his car for years. One summer, we were just pulling into our campsite when we saw a huge group of people in the field. We learned that someone was having a heart attack and passed out. My dad grabbed the mask and performed CPR and rescue breaths for the man until the ambulance got there. Unfortunately the man didn't survive.

Had a feeling a lift was gonna fail completely at my college (I work in a garage and go to college for supplementary training) and was under the lift with three other guys removing bits from a car. Bearing in mind that car lift failures are very rare, and when they do, they almost always have back-ups in place, like safety locks that allow a lift to lower to a certain point before locking.
I knew we had some tall jackstands so I moved them nearby (height of me at full extension, and we have eight of them) and just noticed out of the corner of my eye a little bit of movement from 'something' and became a little bit uneasy. Still, I carried on with the others until I heard another clunk, and then the lift started to slowly lower at a fairly slow and steady rate. I shouted for everyone to get out from under the lift but the other guy had his hand deep between an engine and gearbox and a load of other stuff which took him a bit of time to get there in the first place (Merc a class, those engines are shit). Tried tugging his arm out sharply but just wouldn't come out because of how deeply wedged his arm was.
I quickly ran around the lift, basically threw the stands under the lift in a haphazard way, dived under and re-positioned the stands in slightly better places. I knew that once the stands were physically in there in even one side, it wouldn't drop even in a 'weaker' spot as it'd have just bent the lift bed. It was, from that point, technically completely safe to go under, though health and safety probably wouldn't agree, they just said that the best options were made during the circumstances. Luckily, I got underneath and positioned in time that the lift stopped lowering down further than kneeling height. Spent the next minute or two levering bits of the engine around to get his arm free again.
It wasn't that his arm had been pinned somewhere, just that where he had to force his arm into, it was not even slightly easy to get it back out again within 20 seconds.
I looked around the lift afterward and noticed a puddle of hydraulic fluid and a leaking hose that caused the lift to lower. As for the safety mechanism, it had been engaged but somehow didn't lock in properly (it's an automatic lock mechanism) and thus failed.
I've got so many stories of shit that's happened over the years lol
I always bought a coat just incase I feel cold and an umbrella to fight off people who come after me. UK has an unpredictable weather so I always felt anxious . One day the weather was very sunny, *VERY* sunny. Everyone at school laughed at me because I was the only one with a coat and an umbrella. But just as I expected, it begun to rain at home time. No one had a coat and they were all wet from the rain except for me. Everyone just stared at me as I happily walked home
You: Told you!
Your whole school: Yes, yes I know! Screw you!

The same happened to me multiple times in highschool because I had always a zip hoodie on me wether it was cold or not and when it rained i was always confy and warm.
Where I live, the sun can be brutal enough that bringing an umbrella on a sunny day is absolutely a top tier preparedness move.
@@eyesofthecervino3366 Lucky! Where I live, sunlight is very very rare! I don`t know how the plants are still alive but yes, sunlight is rare.

The sun is super hot in Summer though... which is good but bad at the same time because we aren`t used to it. But it still rains in thee summer and the weather still is unpredictable so..

LOL same. One time I forgot to pack *pajamas* for an *overnight* school retreat, where I was going to be sharing a hotel room with three people I didn't know (and a bed with one of them). And the solution I came up with was extremely bizarre.
See, the retreat was in a quaint little New England town where the downtown area didn't have any clothing stores. But for some reason, I figured it was exactly the kind of quaint little New England town that would have a British goods store where I could no doubt find a pair of Union Jack boxers. That, paired with the retreat T-shirt they had given us, would be perfectly serviceable nightwear. I had no back-up plan for what I would do if this quaint little New England town didn't have a British goods store.

One time, many years ago, I had the window open while I was relaxing in my parent's bedroom. I was the only one upstairs, and I started smelling smoke from outside. Although I absolutely hate the smell of smoke, I usually don't pay it any mind since my dad is a smoker, and my neighbor across the street sometimes uses their grill, but my sniffer told me it wasn't tobacco smoke, so I got curious and started overthinking about where it was coming from. I couldn't see where the fire was coming from, but I had a feeling it was coming from the neighbor next door to us, so I asked my dad to investigate the source. Lo and behold, my neighbors had left their grill or something on while they were gone and started a fire in their backyard RIGHT on the border to ours. My dad put it out with the hose before it got big, and there was not much damage to their yard. If I hadn't smelled the smoke, the fire would have gotten into our yard and possibly gotten a 2 for 1 special regarding houses. I hope everyone is mindful and cautious when it comes to using fire because not everyone has a sniffer like me next door! :)
It wasn't being over prepared then, but it is now. On a 10h flight to San Francisco from Europe, I was so bored that I memorized the map over SF. Well wouldn't you know it, I lost my mom and my brother while out walking and mom had my phone for safe keeping. But since I had memorized the map, I just stared blankly at the sky for a few seconds while I mapped out where the hotel was, where the park near the hotel was, where the dock was and how we walked to reach where I was right now.
Then I just said to myself "this street should lead back to the park", walked up that street and ended up on the north side of the park and the hotel was across the street on the South side of it.
Now I memorize maps of any new place I go to just incase.
Same here but it didn't start from being lost...for as long as i can remember i will always remember path ways and such that i can never got lost... I'm like a pigeon never getting lost because i instinctually know the way

i.e.: of your house, inside your room, imagine u r describing to someone invisible how to go at your school from the outside entrance of your house, and u place it backwards to the enter of your house meanwhile u r in u room
that kind of thing is a good exercise from sign lenguaje, for learn how describing a place when u r not there, always imagine a 3D model of the place your talking about from your head, extrapolate it to a invisible table in front of u, and u always place yourself in the entrance of the building/place
i 'm sorry but i feel that advise is kinde it stupid(??)and it make me laught, bc in my country now the cars are more expensive then a house, and on top of that, the most don't even drive in their entire lives, so if us have to take that advice so the majority of the country never cann't return to their own houses, like never xdd

I’ve always overthought what would I do if I witnessed someone having a panic attack, what would I do? As I myself suffer from anxiety and panic attacks I wanted to know how to comfort someone else during theirs as I usually just go off alone and cry. I did a ton of research and came up with a game plan of ways to help.
That was 4 years prior to the event I’m about to relay; I was at a theater rehearsal when one of the kids was found passed out on the bathroom floor after missing her cue. Her mom found her a called for an ambulance. As we all were moved backstage to give the family and paramedics space a lot of the other kids were freaking out. Most were just crying and being comforted by siblings or friends, except for one teenage girl. She was acting really scared, and was completely freaking out. A group of people began forming around her to see what was wrong. I jumped into action (calmly) she was hyperventilating and trying to get away from the crowd so I took her aside and started trying to help her regulate her breathing. After a bit she calmed down enough to tell me that she found the girl in the bathroom first but didn’t tell anyone she was in there because she thought the girl was just being dramatic and pretending. This is understandable as the girl found in the bathroom had a tendency to be over dramatic and act like she wasn’t listening to you when she didn’t get her way. And as 10 minutes before she was found she was arguing with the director, it made a lot of sense. After telling me she started crying because she thought if that girl died, nope.

A while ago, my mom, dad and me went to a tool and appliances shop, and in the corner of my eye I spotted a fire extinguisher. I suggested to my mom to get one, my mom at first hesitant but agreed to get one. My dad was confused as to why we need a fire extinguisher, and I simply say in case of a fire. (Note: My family never had a fire extinguisher, and sometimes they say that they are extra careful thus they say that they don't need a fire extinguisher) My dad agreed to get it.
A few months later, my mom was at the grill (it is a old grill almost twelve years old), she turn off the grill but the moment she came inside, the grill burst into flames and immediately my older brother went to get the fire extinguisher in the garage. He manage to extinguish the flames, and my mom thank me for getting the fire extinguisher. Now we kept another fire extinguisher in case if there is another fire.

I used to always keep extra utensils in my lunchbag in case my friends needed them. Somehow, word got out that there was a kid with extra utensils, and almost every week, the radomest people would come and borrow my utensils lol.
Same! :-) Years later, I now have a "just in case" drawer at work and people leave unused plastic utensils and straws (the kind that come wrapped with fast food) with me instead of throwing them out, then coming to take some as needed. Our staff room is at the top of the building so it's handy for people who don't want to waste their break time going all the way up there just for a fork or something.
The oddest moment was when our CEO showed up at my door, said that the dishwasher in the boardroom servery had broken down mid-wash and they didn't have clean utensils for the board meeting. She cleaned out my drawer, thanked me, and we never spoke of it again. I still have no idea how she knew about that drawer. 😏
@@04beni04 wow cool kid, got the CEO asking for your utensils. that was a bigger version of my story:
For some reason I always kept the packaged utensils they give you at lunch in highschool, and they literally took up a medium-sized pocket in my backpack, which got people thinking I was being weird about how I had so many. One time after school, a group of people went to the CVS down the street from the school and bought a couple of tubs of ice cream but they didn't have enough utensils to go around, so I basically gave some to my friends so they could get in on the action
I always carry a single marble around in my pocket, no matter what the circumstance is, for that rare occasion that someone were to ask me, "Have you LOST YOUR MARBLES?!", just to see the look on their face when I retrieve a glass ball from my pocket and triumphantly say, "No, actually, I have one right here."
my story was when i was 1st grade and i was getting pranked by a tall 3rd or 4th grader and he did 1 thing to me only. he would camp at a hallway then trip me over. after he did this to me for the third time, i went paranoid and i brought a heavy book to school. i saw his face for a sec and i knew he was gonna trip me, so when he extended his leg to trip me, i stopped and dropped the book on his leg. i don't know how much painful it was but i did know that it was very heavy
WELL FREAKING DONE, also, i like the roblox profile pic
I like it
Instant karma
"You may have outsmarted me, but I outsmarted your outsmarting"
the day my dog died she just seemed off. her breathing was heavy and it worried me, so i tried comforting her the whole day. after some time i realized she wasn’t getting better, so I spent the whole day glued to her, making sure she was warm and petted. she went missing at night and we found her underneath the bed, hiding. sadly i didn’t see her again, dead or alive. but because i thoughts i was just being paranoid i got to give her a nice last day and also prepare myslef for the worst
I didn't want to cry today thanks
This happened pretty recently, this school year at the very end of March. Our 3rd period teacher (a few months before this happened) was going over things like fire drills, tornado drills, and lockdowns. There was a question whether there had ever been a lockdown at our school before, then a question on what we would do if there was a lockdown. Our teacher said that we would go into the safest corner of the classroom, and stack the desks up by the front door, close the blinds, roll the fabric that would cover the window of the door, and be QUIET. After that, I was picturing the 2 strongest guys in my class stacking desks and stuff. I had continued to make scenarios about a lockdown over the next few months. Then on the very last day of March, we were taking a quiz and the red light on the ceiling had started flashing and someone pointed it out. I was scared af and my heart dropped. We all looked up and stared at it for about 10 seconds until our teacher whispered while walking to the door, "Oh sh!t.." and then talks to us and says "Lockdown, everyone to that corner of the classroom, sit down, and be QUIET." She calls up 2 kids to stack desks by the door and then by the end of that there were 4 desks by the door. We sat there for about 3-6 minutes before the light stopped flashing, and we were good to go back to doing our quiz. For the rest of the period I was zoning out thinking what could've happened. Scariest day of my life (so far.)
My teachers makes fun of me for keeping sewing needles, thread, bees wax, and whiskey in every first aid kit I own, saying it's a travel triage, on top of the normal rubbing alcohol, peroxide, bandaids, antiseptics, and gause. Why do I keep these extra things in a first aid kit? My mom had to stitch up her cousins eye socket inside and out, so needles, preferably bent into a c shape, thread, and wax to keep the fibers from catching on the flesh and causing more damage, are always good to have. Alcohol can be used as an antiseptic and I ran out of vodka and haven't bought more so I got whiskey in there for now. We also have burn creams and aloe of varying strengths. And not that neosporin shit, either, I use silver based shit like silver nitrate. One time we ran out of silver nitrate so I grabbed one of our spoons from the kitchen and put that on the burn instead. Our cutlury is real silver, and silver is antibacterial. My dad thought I was nuts until he burned himself throwing gas into a backyard fire pit and nearly took his brows off, at which point I pulled a small silver necklace with a silver pendant from my pocket and put it on his arm, which did actually get burned, and wrapped it with strips of fabric from the old shirt I was wearing. He doesn't question the things I carry around anymore when I visit. At school I carried 2 big bottles of childrens benadryl around for a week before someone went into anaphilactic shock and I forced them to drink a whole bottle as someone called an ambulance. It was half an hour before the ambulance arived with epipens and the childrens benadryl in the big bottles lasts 15 minutes. I can't afford eppipens and I'm deadly allergic to rabbits and bees, which is how I know that trick. If anybody needs any other quick firat aid tips hit me up
We need first aid materials
@@movedaccountscyayalls7119 do you want specific materials and where to get them for cheap or will anything do?
@@rA_Valen a quick tip from my sleep deprived brain: if you ever need to perform CPR sing Stayin Alive to yourself, you won't loose the beat and the chorus is about 30 counts, which is what I was taught to do. Essentially, you sing the chorus once while doing chest compressions, if you have a partner there have them do the kiss of life, if not DO NOT stop chest compressions to do the kiss of life and just repeat step 1 until an ambulance arives. It does not matter if the person is starting to wake up, do not stop. You may only stop if they have the strength to angrily push you off and be successful in doing so. If the sternum breaks, oh well, not your responsibility, keep going! Don't worry about any law suits in most developed countries, they have laws known as good samaritan laws that protect average people from lawsuits for saving a life. If you live in China, you do not have these laws and the caurts may not rule in your favor, save lives at your own financial risk. I know many odd facts about good samaritan laws as well, do not ask why, I do not know
But may I ask why you mother had to stitch up her cousin's eye?
@@ennibee6684 i don't know, I never really questioned it. Giving stitches at home was a normal thing in her family growing up because nobody went to the doctors
my girlfriend was talking about a friend that was a boy, and she said a few things about him that made me think she was possibly cheating, so I went to my really supportive friend that helps through a lot, he knew her really well so he told me I was just over thinking so shook it off because I don't want to be one of those guys who says " you can't have friends that are boys". A few weeks later, I woke up at about 8, and checked my texts to see I had messages from a few of her friends and from her. she broke up with me. one of her friends told me why after my girlfriend told her not to, she had been cheating on me since a few weeks prior. I was heart broken but I had a suspicion it would happen so it didn't hurt as much.
At least it didn't get worse or go on for years where you had to catch them. Im sorry it happened to you. I'm sure my first boyfriend cheated on me and we were dating for months. Near the end he constantly accused me of creating even though I hadn't even kissed him so how could I cheat. He then was known to cheat on his new girl with many women and when he was flirting with me I suddenly got a feeling ( I didn't know he had a girlfriend) and asked if he had a girlfriend and he blew up at me admitted to it and sicked her on me. I found out later by my other friends he was cheating all over her. It doesn't hurt me because I knew it was his problem and I didn't know when we were dating but I have a good boyfriend now and would be devastated if he turned out like that.
Same here....my lover is also my best friend for 4 years and we dated for 10 months she cheated on me with a guy( I'm a girl and my ex is bi)..... let's just say i wasted years of my life. I'm not bitter about it, it was a good learning experience for how i should choose my future partners
Edit: tho if she did say to me before she cheated she wants the guy in our relationship. i don't mind being in a poly relationship because i know how it should go(my grandparents are in a poly relationship)so it won't go in a burst of flames but it already happened and i can care less
@@squirrel670 you posted this twice, friend.
@@omegaentertainment01 i think it double sent, I know I didn't type it out twice lol. Thanks for letting me know
@@squirrel670 no problem, friend.
I always think I forget something when I go to places. Always looking back to check out if I see something.
One time, me and my brother and mother were on the bus, heading to our home after an unsuccessful appointment to go to the beach (my fault, I got dizzy and sick on midway and we had to come back lol). We all had a backpak with things needed for the beach, when the bus stopped in our station I had a feeling that I was DEFINITELY forgeting something. I had my backpack but the feeling still didn't go, my brother was behind me and my mum in front of me, she had her backpack, good. I was going to check my brother, couldn't see him because of the movement and the fact the bus was full. Went to check on him when we left the bus. The first thing I said when we left the bus was directioned to my brother. "Where tf is your backpack?". The idiot left his backpack on the mf bus, if I hadn't remembered them we would've went home without it. Spent some couple of hours waiting for the bus to come back lmao
If ONLY I had reacted before. Guess I am just unlucky.
(Srry for spelling mistakes and bad grammar, or just words that don't make sense or shouldn't be there, english isn't my native language.)
I was in a play once, and someone messed up a line the same way twice, the first time was in rehearsal and it was weird but not that bad, but I spent like half an hour making the perfect cover for it. Then it happened on stage and I saved it. Everyone thought I was just amazing at improve, I'm just anxious
19:43 I can NOT be the only one f*cking dying over this 🤣🤣🤣
No you weren’t, I was too
When I was in scouts, we were taught, "Prepare for the worst, hope for the best". This video is the epitome of why this phrase is true!
I have the one of ocd with dying family. Sure, you’re intending on preparing yourself for loss, but all you’re really doing is making yourself miserable longer. But even knowing that, the ocd doesn’t care. You still obsess over it.
Jesus.. I had no idea other people did this as well AT ALL 🤯
@@CherryTripping It's actually pretty common. I do it too.
This. So many years now 😥
I used to do it all the time when I was younger, but not so commonly now
That's what happened with my grandma, it sucked to think about it, and it still sucks to this day. Can't really avoid feeling like that, nothing can really prepare you to lose someone you care about.
STORY TIME:
Background:
Me and my Bi-lingual family went to Italy to visit my auntie who was also Bi-lingual but it was one we all shared and Italian. At the time her boyfriend (now her husband) had two sons, all 3 of which spoke Italian with the sons each learning a different language.
Also I have a habit of ALWAYS bringing a bag of items I think I may need at any random point so I keep it on me AT ALL TIMES, whenever its not with me I feel weird.
In my bag I generally have:
- A rechargeable battery with USB ports
- A deck of cards (opened cause I been broke :P)
- A Hammer that's pretty much a whole ass toolkit
(great for fixing, building, self defense, etc.)
- My phone and head/earphones
- My wallet
- My glasses/sunglasses
- A Fidget Spinner
- My Charger
- Female items (extra)
- Hand sanitizer and other freshening items
I'm sure that just by reading this list you would think I would complain about the weight but I never really minded it, to me it was normal, as long as what I needed was there.
Main Story:
One day we went to the beach and me and our Italian cousins we sharing card game and magic knowledge. My Italian cousin had started doing a magic trick I knew how to do by heart. This one trick uses a specific amount of cards that I generally memorized for the sake of that trick. I always used the information card in the deck as a marker for the exact amount of cards needed for that trick. First I pulled out my deck of cards, he looked surprised but then made a gesture for "Oh thanks! I'll count the amount I need." I procced to go "Hold up I got this" and pull the EXACT AMOUNT of cards needed. At first he looks at me in confusion and disbelief, I give him the tiny pile of cards. He starts counting them. By the time he finished he look at me with the face of "Holy Shit are you a fairy? Tf kinda black magic fuckery is this?"
TL;DR: I handed my cousin the exact items he needed for a magic trick he never thought I knew/learned.
My experience wasn't too unusual of a situation for others, but it was for me. When I was in 6th grade we had this assignment where we had to design and paste pictures of our inspiration on a piece of paper and present it in class. I usually kept my things well in my bag so I didn't lose them, especially if its important projects or assignments. On the day of the presentation, for some reason I couldn't find my assignment at all. I couldn't pass it late or present on another day either since our teacher was very strict and didn't allow my "excuse." Thankfully for some reason I had printed out extra pictures and brought in papers and extra designing materials like markers, washi tapes, and stickers just incase I lost my assignment. I ended up cramming and making a new assignment during that class while my classmates were presenting their assignments. The teacher was even confused on why I suddenly had my assignment, but I just shrugged and told him I made a new one on the spot 😆
While i was studying fo a history exam i remembered the teacher always used to say to us for an exam "the exam is going to be about everything this semester" and i noticed that for this exam he said "this exam is going to be about everything" but everyone ignored the fact he didnt say this semester but i noticed and i studied everything. It worked, i got the highest mark.
That sneaky bastard professor. But even Sneak 100 can't beat Perception 100. ;)

When I first got a car at the age of 17 my mom had it stock with water bottles, tissues, jumper cables, a tire repair kit, first aid and a snow shovel. You don’t know how many times that I needed to dig my car out of the snow. Or had to jumpstart my car and fix a tire. I am so lucky to have a her. 🥰🥰🥰
I'm a BIG overthinker, every single day I create an outcome of 116 possible solutions to a problem on how long it would take me to go to work if certain issues occurred and how I would overcome them. My boss asks me how I am able to come to work before 4pm, well some of those 116 issues seems to appear. one being a 4-way car crash and the only way around it is to go 30 mph on a side road across from my work, while a pedestrian is walking at least 5 mph as well and you don't want to wait so you go around thinking about another outcome on whether if there's a car coming on the other side of the lane which makes you think of 54 more outcomes on how to avoid that. And once I pass those obstacles, I am right on time.
1:04 I thought that they were about to say bring scissors in case you need to stab a child that zip ties your child
do it
I think that was silently implied , as the secondary use.
A few years ago i went on a trip to Morrocco, my mother insisted me to carry a raincoat and i answer her "i'm going to the sahara, is a desert and you think it may rain?"
Well, it snowed when we were in the Atlas and keep raining for the next 2 days 😂
I've never contradicted my mom about weather again since then
When I heard about a new disease in China a couple years ago, I had a bad feeling and told the accountant at my work to start thinking about an extra budget based around a big drop in income, and he said not to worry about it. We hit lockdown three months later and went from 600 customers a week to 30.
Another one, I bought a little Pikachu toy that could turn AA batteries into USB power, mostly as a novelty. But 6 months later we were without power for a week because of Hurricane Irma and I was the only person able to charge my phone.
As someone who always brought candies with them.
One time my mum wanted a candy, )I didn't knew she wanted one) and someone had one but she didn't like the candy. Fortunately, I had one of her favorite candies in my mini-bag (those small bags you wear on your shoulder) just in case I'd get bored and needed a candy, handed her one of the candies I had while she was opening the candy someone had given her, instantly close the candy wrapper up and got the candy I was handing to her.
Side note:
I feel kinda sick (car-sick) when riding car and eating a candy would wear it out (for me) so I'd always bring candies for me and everyone who wanted one.
When I went to school I would always buy some candy for the ride back (2 to 3 hours)
Problem was I always finished them beforehand
I also get car sick so I think I should carry candy everytime I go for a drive with someone
In my experience, Gravol works wonders in the car (not sponsored)
Just not the ginger one, it's strangely ineffective
When I was packing for a summer camp a few years ago, my mom gave me one of those mini packs of tissues to throw in my bag. I’ve attended the camp around 6 times since then. Last time I was there, things got very emotional around the campfire. We were all bawling, and at some point when things are winding down I remember. I gasp and go ‘I have tissues!’ And start offering them to everyone around me individually.
My friends laugh at me, but are always extremely thankful that I'm the overthinker and tend to have exactly what's needed when the comes. This has ranged in the past from funny cases of me having "emergency greeting cards" in my car or "heat and eat meals" in my luggage to practical ones such as having a compass or multi-tool with me to serious ones of having a full suture kit along with a first aid kit
I always used to carry a recorder in my jacket sleeve like an assassin’s creed kinda knife but it was a recorder. One day I was the MC for a school event and we needed to kill time somehow. I looked at my teacher who was wondering what we could do and just pulled out the recorder from my sleeve. Kids started calling me “flute guy.”
