When I was in my middle school I rode my bike in a circle for 7hrs. It was on a bet for a lizard. If I could do it my dad would have to buy my a bearded dragon. I got the dragon. I had that thang on me. But he passed away

One time I farted on an airplane and wondered if any human had ever farted at those exact global coordinate besides me, does that count?
I used to believe there were a ton of things that the universe decided to fuck me in particular. Turns out, it was autisim.
I fell off a short bridge into a ditch, got up, started walking up out of the ditch. Realised I couldn't breathe (winded) and then fell back into the same ditch, unconscious.
Had the most psychedelic dream I've ever had, and woke up to someone tending to my wounds.
I managed to knock myself unconscious and give myself a pretty nice concussion during a particularly heated pillow fight at a summer camp. Pretty sure that's about as unique a feat as I've managed thus far.
This one I like sooo much. Funny as hell.
I was on a plane that made an emergency landing. It was a lot less scary or exciting than it sounds. Our plane was leaking hydraulic fluid, so we diverted to a closer airport to land while the landing gear could still be lowered with hydraulics. The landing was uneventful, but I did get to see a flash of emergency vehicles with their lights on along the runway.
I used to think that all the times I had to survive drowning were unique, until I met my coworker who almost drowned to death in the same wavepool as me, despite us growing up in two seperate states a few hundred miles apart.
I still hope drowning three times is fairly uncommon, but at least one of those pools is just hella dangerous I guess.
...when i trained as a rescue diver, i learned that it's not drowning unless you die: if you survive, it's a near-drowning...
They say it's peaceful, I can't imagine that's true.
Everything that happens right before is panic inducing, so the actual death part is peaceful by comparison.
...i climbed onto the roof of the press box over kyle field and peed into the open air hundreds of feet below: it evaporated before hitting the ground...
