What are the odds...


woogiee

Recommended Posts

I was thinking earlier about things that have happened to me in the past and most of the i thought "what are the odds that would happen?" So I thought I'd make a thread about it :p

 

What are some things that have happened to you that made you think, "What are the odds?"

 

Some of mine are:

 

When I was about 8-10 years old i was runnning around my house like an idiot as kids that age tend to do. My parents used to put full garbage bags by the back door until they took them out. I run by them and trip onto one of the bags and a coffee can lid just happened to slice open my right wrist, gushing blood like a hose all over the place. Luckily my Mom was right there when it happned, grabbed a towel, covered up the slice and called 911.

 

Another time was when i was maybe 12-13 years old in winter. I was walking down my alley-way to go inside. I looked up Just intime to get hit right in the forehead by an Icecicle (sp?). Not a small one either, one of those ones that are like 2 feet long and 6 inches thick. Luckily it didnt go INTO my head and i didnt get any serious injuries

Heh, I remember we had a screen door at our old house. It was old and ripped, so we a guy come in and put in a new one. And of course, me and my brother are running around being dumb-asses, and as the guy's leaving, I accidentaly push my brother through the brand-new screen door, tearing the thing apart. It cost like 200 bucks. What are the odds?

I was about 12 and was in a squat possition, tossing a ball for my dog to chase after. I fell over and dislocated my left ring finger at the middle joint. It was bent towards my pinky. I put it back in place my self and my parents took me to the hospital. The doctor looked at the x-ray, and said that the way I had landed on it I should have broken my finger, but to his suprise I didn't break it. What are the odds of that happening?

I was 6,me and my (to fat) mates at the time were jumping one an i flatable castle-like-jump thingy (i don't know the English word:xp:). And by the worst of timing, the two fatso's launched little me 3-4 meters in the air...and i fell over the wall, crushing with my face on the ground...blood...much blood...and a few stitches...the inevitable loss of my facial features*...

 

*=joke..

 

 

When i was 9, i climbed up to the top of a play-tower at our back yard, and layed some plank on the top, to sit on. By accident, i layed a bit to far over the egde, and fell down, again 3-4 meters. This time with the back of my head though...i hut like hell, and me and my mom quickly rushed to the doctor...who gave me...stitches..AGAIN!

 

 

Last summer, the day after i got back from vaction, i suddenly got ill. When i hadn't eaten for a weak, and even couldn't keep water in, my mom and dad descided to go to the doctor...who sent m,e through to the hospital...were they concluded that i had a double pneumonia and a fever of over 40 degrees Celcius....it wasn't a pretty sight....

I was 11 and we just moved to a new town. Needless to say I was mad at the world. We lived in some apartments and my mother had me take out the trash. When I got close to the dumpster I threw the trash bag down in order to lift the lid. Only I threw the bag down on to my foot. A bottle in the trash broke slicing through my little toe almost taking it off. I screamed so loud every one in the apartment building came running. That taught me a lesson about controlling my anger.

 

Forgot it once my senior year in high school and punched a palm tree. Never punch a palm three I broke my hand in three places. I will never hit anything in anger again (at least not with my right hand).

Over 40 degrees? Good crap, that's hot. That can't have felt very good.

Sometimes I feel that I'm the only person on this forum who leads a boring life :p. Aside from the fact that after a photo was taken of me on my first birthday I plunged my head into the cake I don't believe anything "exciting" has ever happened to me.

 

@Ztalker: The inflatable castle thingy is a "bouncy castle" :).

It wasn't...i was doing relativel;y good the other days, so my parents though it would heal by the normal method.

But when i started to faint, and stay in it longer and longer, they carried me to the doctor. Who immediately sent me through, since i fainted in the waiting room :xp:

 

They gave me an infusion righ away, and started pumping antibiotics and stuff into me...

 

And they were pretty shocked at the hospital too, yeah. Since i just came back from vacation, they first though i had contracted somekind of bacteria too. They took some blood and...more...too, and i was put onto a private room, to insure i couldn't contaminate anyone.

 

Here's a photo...al the stuff around me was connected to me...realy.

I got extra air, infusion, some other infusion (water etc, food), and some pad onf my body to monitor my heartbeat etc.

Ha, I've got you beat on beating odds stacked against me.

 

I was riding a four-wheeler to where I was putting up horse fence. Stopped the ATV and jumped down right onto a block of wood about four inches square. Sprained the hell outta my ankle, but where it gets to odds is if I had driven six more inches or stopped half a second earlier, nothing would have happened.

 

What are the odds on a quarter mile long stretch of fence, jumping on the four inch spot where I sprain my ankle. Heh, that sucked.

When i was 9, me and the rest of my cub scout group went to the local police station for a tour of all the cool stuff. Shortly after the whole thing finished and we were ready to go back, there was my mum, blind drunk and a taxi driver demanding she pay the faire she used to get to wherever she was going to go. Amonst all my cubby friends, my social life was pretty much annihalated from there-on out. I left cubs swiftly after.

I accidentally dripped liquid solder on my leg/foot once. That's the only one I can think of right now.

That sucks, I've done it before, one time my dog came up behind me and barked which startled me and I jumped, the shaft of the soldering iron land in my palm and my fingers wrapped around it, I really wish I had one of those cold heat ones.

well, the one time that i was in a rush to get to work (i'm normally quite early so i don't have to rush). anyways, i decided to go about 50mph in a 35mph zone. in all honesty, i had never seen a cop on that street before in my life. guess what?? i got pulled over. what are the odds??

 

oh, and there was this one time where i was volunteering at a Habitat For Humanity project. somebody above me was hammering something, and the actual head of the hammer came off while he was hammering and hit me in the back of the neck. It didn't do any damage to me, but it would've hurt like heck if it been just a couple inches higher and smacked me in the head.

They suck. I've got one and it's horrible. I dripped the actual solder on my foot/leg though, although I have been burnt by the soldering iron itself before too.
