Have you had a narrow escape?

Question

and nearly got caught doing something you shouldnt, doesnt have to be rude or anything, but hey if you care to share.

Answer 1

Yup! My ex husband and I had a fight and he left, and took everything we had. He took the beds, silverware, every cent out of the bank account...even all of the food (and no, I didn't deserve that. He was an abusive control freak and I had 'allowed' my sister to date one of my college professers. Somehow, that made him mad).

I had no money except for a refund check I was expecting from a class I had dropped, and of course...HE had the keys with the key to the mailbox. He had already taken mail that belonged to me and shredded it (a box of halloween costumes my son's grandmother had made for him and my nephews) so he wasn't going to give me my mail.

He came over one day to basically, rub it in my face that he had not only shredded the treats for the kids, but had also called child protective services on me, because he knew that if the kids had no beds, they would be taken from me. (He took the beds of course).

He had already gotten the mail that day. He went to the bathroom and left the keys on the table. I took the mailbox key. Thank God the next day, that check came. The following day, he came back over to harass me again (and to get the mail). I had that key in my palm and followed him out the door, and as he reached into his pocket to get the keys out to open the mailbox, I kind of tossed the key on the ground.

He thought it had fallen off the ring when he pulled it out of his pocket, thank God. If he knew I had taken it, you have no idea what would have happened!

I also survived an anyerism in my brain. That was a big one.

Answer 2

once when I was in grade 8, a couple of us took turns bringing some liquor to school that we could share.. I snuck some wine from my dad's barrel (he made home made wine - this was in the 70's) and I put it into a cheeze whiz jar - go figure not a very good seal.
I hid it in a paper bag and under my poncho (cause we didn't use back packs back then). We got to sneak it, but in the process, the jar leaked and soaked the bag. the guys ditched the bag in a back field ditch, but some little kids saw them and reported it. The principal came out to get the bag. I will never forget the utter feeling of panic when I saw the principal walking across the field with that wine soaked bag dangling from his hand. While I'm very ashamed of myself now - I'm thankful at the time that my friends never ratted me out.

Answer 3

I have had narrow escapes, but not because I was doing something I shouldn't have. Narrowly escaped drowning, being hit by a truck on my motorcycle for just 2 examples. There have been other times, too...but again, not because I was doing something I shouldn't have

Answer 5
