Discussion What kind of minor reckless things have you done with the awareness there could be a chance it could kill you?

[Iris Blue]

Some of my examples are:

-driving a bit too fast on the interstate or around turns (when no one is around)

-taking a few extra OTC meds than needed

-walking around at night in some known dangerous areas

-being a bit careless when handling or around sharp or dangerous objects

Walking around places I don't know is my preferred thing to do, taking too many OTC medicine causes me stomach pain but I occasionally do it when I can't sleep.

 

[littleinsanity]

Walk out at night on my own around 2/3am with my phone almost dead

Crossing the road without looking for cars or knowing they are approaching

Met online friends that I didn't know well enough yet/barely talked to

Dropped a knife on my foot

Drank alcohol with medicine

Dunno what else but tbh I didn't think through most of these and just thought whatever happens doesn't matter

Railway lines.

Not wearing a seatbelt.

Mostly, I'm too scared of pain to be all that reckless.

I'm pretty lax with health and safety in my job- lots of nasty chemicals, aerosols, fumes, dust. I don't always bother with a mask. My diet isn't at all good either.

Maybe the most risky thing I've done is gone on a guided walk along what used to be the West Pier in Brighton in the UK. We had to wear life jackets and crash helmets and sign a disclaimer that we knew we were entering an unsound structure. I thought it was so epic... More or less- I understand that I might die.

Really though, it probably wasn't that unsafe. I mean, it did eventually collapse and then it went up in flames- before they could refurbish it. (All very suspicious) but, they did risk assessments before each tour I think. We weren't allowed right to the end into the second building that day. It was awesome though. One of the coolest things I've done.

I'd love to do Urbex but I am the sort of person who's stupid and clumsy enough to fall down a lift shaft or something.

I'd definitely have been driving more recklessly (not in a way that would endanger others - just a bit fast and don't slow down around curves in more rural areas). I would definitely go skydiving if I could afford it

I just looked up "West Pier Brighton UK" and that looks awesome. That's too bad it burned down

doing drugs that cause liver damage, not wearing seatbelt, mixing pills

Yeah, it really was. They intended to refurbish it back to how it looked in a specific time period. They were going to have to pull Blacksmiths out of retirement to do some of the work! I believe they intended to raise the height of the whole thing too to counter the rising sea levels.

I wish they had been able to do it. At some point, the first building we went in partially collapsed and was hanging off the back. Then, there were arson attacks. There were conspiracy theories that it may have been the Trust itself- set up to do the conservation work but, I doubt it. Or, I really hope not. People like that seem usually to be hugely passionate about saving those buildings.

I kind of love the Victorian era. For its innovation but kind of crazy ideas. They believed the salty air was good for your health and piers were a way of getting closer to it. Kind of funny. Apparently, when you got to the end, they would offer you a glass of sea water. .

There used to be two piers in Brighton. The Palace Pier still stands- thankfully. But apparently, they also used to dive from either, swim and meet for tea between the two. There were drawings of barrels with tea cups on and swimmers gathered round. I just think the contrast is so funny. I tend to think of the British Victorians as being very straight laced and proper but, some of the risks they took with stuff would never happen today. I think it would have been an incredible era to witness- so long as you were rich of course.

[destinationlosangel]

Haha I used to be a health nut before but now i pig out on all unhealthy foods

 

[sexual-sinning]

probably the most idiotic thing you can do (huffing), tho i don't get any enjoyment out of it so I'll stop once i finish the can

i also like walking late at night and crossing roads without looking

That's really interesting! Haha the image of two British people meeting up to drink tea in the middle of the sea is so funny to me

Also the sea water thing - that's crazy I accidentally swallowed a bunch of saltwater while swimming in the ocean once and it was not fun 0/10 would not recommend lol

Drinking alcohol. Driving with no seat belt always. I'm using SN but I don't give a f*** if something else kills me first. Waiting for meto to arrive from overseas pharmacy then dead. Finally. More accurately I'm already dead I'm just finishing the job.

 

[peerlesscucumber]

I don't look at the street when crossing it
I live in a pretty car-safe zone and I've never been close to getting ran over but there's always the hope ig

 

[uniqueusername4]

never lock my door when I leave. Try any drugs from anyone anytime
