"Oh Shit" moments...

Ha! My mate always had loads of knives, one day he was swishing one all around ninja style and ended up with tiny cuts all over his face!

I vividly recall watching my dad shaving when about 5 and him telling me razors were really sharp, so i picked it up and ran my thumb along the blade to check. Cue much blood.

Ditto that.

Got this awesome swiss army knife for my tenth birthday from a relative. My mum was none too chuffed. I promptly displayed my prowess and how I could easily be trusted by snapping it shut on my thumb leaving me with a scar today some fifteen years later from the tip down to the joint.

Much blood and shrieking later and she'd finally calmed down.

I tried to hide the wound by putting my hand in my pocket....I think it made my mum's shock worse when she saw me saunter past with one leg of my jeans soaked in blood pretending all was right with the world.

Mate, given the volume of your shout when it happened I'm fairly sure there was no hiding what happened. Not sure how old I was but the noise you made will stay for me for the rest of my life!

Slow reaction is it..

i cant read that without shuddering

Tuesday day night cycling home, had two pints. Got to Balham and vomited while cycling along.

Cue 10 minutes by the side of the road, with my eyeballs popping out of my head and chucking up. The Oh Shit was going along for 2-3 yards with a gob full of Vom - yeeeucch.

I am a fekking lightweight

Did you create your username just to tell that story?

I wish I had, nothing chewy on Tuesday though

i like the fact you can see the guy in white watchign him come off

I cut the shit out of my lip yesterday whilst shaving with a suicide blade.
1hr of bleeding.
just made it into work on time.

I had a "oh shit" moment last week, I was running late for my train to uni so I was riding as hard and fast as I could to the station. I got to the mini roundabout which for me is at the bottom of a small hill from the direction I was going, you can see if the roundabout is clear from about 20/30metres prior to it. I saw it was clear while approaching at speed so I didn't slow down and pushed on to go faster (maybe pushing 30/35mph?) until some dick in his Mercedes decides to spot me but pull out regardless of the traffic stopping him from getting anywhere. It was wet and I was frantically braking and managed to skid and sort of stop along side him bearing in mind he is completely blocking my path. Serious "oh shit" moment thinking i was going face first into his nice new Mercedes, he got beeped by other drivers and plenty of friendly words from myself and in a rage I may have punched his window. Maybe he will realise that give way to the right does apply to him regardless of the car he drives?

it takes you an hour to crack one off in the morning?

Remember mine like it was yesterday. Was helping clear now ex girlfriends parents attic prior to a move. wearing slippers. yep you guessed it. One leg either side of a beam. Crunching my misters. Proper oh shit moment as everyone in the room below says "feck what the feck is mum going to say?"

Pardon me? Fuck that. I was in agony....

Crying out for a Sad Keanu face.

Was this incident the reason for the now ex-girlfriend becoming an ex?

nah it was a few years ago. after that I also cut through the wire on a set of hedge trimmers (also while trying to help get the house ready for sale) and while messing about with her brother for being 'lippy' smashed a wardrobe. dont ride with me im a bit clumsy....

Is that you on the BMX above? ;)

its a 26" jump bike.
looks like hes riding trails. not very clever while brakeless.

Darwin in colour.

Monday morning, heading to work. Going North along Bedford road towards Clapham North. The silver Renault in front of me indicates that she is going to turn left into a side road just before the bridge. Cool, I'll just scrub off a bit of speed, and let her pull in then go past. She doesn't pull in; instead, she comes to a complete stop. So I grab my brakes a lot more, but no response.

"Oh shit"

I end up rear-ending her at about 15mph, going over the bars, smash my head (encased in helmet, thankfully) into the rear windscreen, and crumple to a heap on the pavement on the left, landing on my left arm first, so crushing my upper rib cage in a rather painful fashion. Thankfully no broken ribs, but some mashed muscles.

I was certainly going faster than I should, but the brakes just didn't do their job. When I wanted an emergency stop, they didn't. Ouch.

and I believe listening to music too...

I bet he didn't hear that bump coming...

I had a serious "oh shit" moment today on my way to work, it verged on wtf too as the driver was clearly insane! I was coming up to a junction where i need to turn right so i check over my should and there is a nice big gap in the traffic so I start to signal that i'm turning right, the car that was behind is still behind and not going anywhere so i see its ok to move into the center of the road. I do so and whilst still signalling but keeping up with the flow of traffic I hear a car coming really close and look over my shoulder to see that this guy behind me is going for an overtake when i'm clearly in the middle of the road signalling to turn right! I was bemused as to why someone would try such a thing especially when there was a steady flow of oncoming traffic ahead which he obviously saw and then tried to turn back into his lane but instead just starting driving into me! In panic that he was going to hit me i started banging on his passenger window as hard as i could in a hope that he would realise he was driving into me, he turned back into the other lane (why not brake and admit defeat and pull in?) where he forced a land rover discovery to brake hard and beep furiously where he eventually got back in as i slowed down to let him pass as i wasn't keen on dying today. I was astounded at how stupid someone can be! About as close to death as i ever want to be.
