Scariest moment of your life

In the 7th grade, a mentally unstable, half-retarded kid caught me in a corner and pulled out a knife. I thought he was gonna stab me, but I think he just wanted to show it to me. Almost pissed myself.

Last year we all went to the Bahamas. I love Nassau and my opinion of it will never change. But last year the guys went out and ended up basically being taken hostage. They were tied up and probably would have left for dead had my husband not known the name of a head guy on the island. They were put in cages in an unknown place. Bottom line, never get in a car you don't know.

In a Explorer with my friend and he hydroplaned and killed a tree. The Explorer took a couple hits but that tree was no more

I was extremely scared when I thought the Explorer was going to roll over though.

1. Old guy busted some of us stealing beer out of his fridge. Calls up my parents during my 16th birthday party, and everybody involved soon started getting calls to come home. After the last person left my dad hit me in the chest so hard i thought i was going to die.

2. 2005 on a plane to Guiyang, China. We landed in pouring rain and when the pilot touched down he was way off on his level. Right wheel hit first, plane took a sharp turn to the right and I resigned myself that i was just about to die when the left wheel hit the ground and the plane pulled back straight. It danced right and left all the way down the runway but was far less dramatic than when the first wheel hit.

Got robbed at gunpoint by three guys right outside Little Rock when I was 18.

That experience made me change my whole opinion about gun crime and its punishments.

One second you're a regular American, with every right that you've taken for granted your whole life, minding your own business, the next second all of your rights are gone, and your life depends on the whim of some thug pointing a gun at your head.

I've never felt primal fear like that before that went on for a solid minute. Its like that instant when you almost step on a snake, or almost fall off a cliff, but you catch yourself, and you're startled, but you're fine.

Except that pins and needles feeling went on for a solid minute or two, with my heart feeling like it would pop out of my chest and that I might honestly piss my pants.

frick everybody who victimizes other people with guns. Kill them all.

Experiencing something like that had never really entered my mind before, except for the shite you see on TV. Its a totally different experience than how it is in the movies.

I had nightmares about that shite for a while. And after the cops dropped me off (I was walking home from work because my car broke down), I was looking at every shadow, every corner, behind every tree. Just a crazy experience. I saw everything different from that point forward.

That's ballsy as frick.

Everybody asked "why the frick didn't you karate chop the gun out of his hand..duurrrr"

In my case, there were three of them. One held me at gunpoint standing about 15 feet away, while the other two stole my jacket and my wallet.

I fricking said "yes sir" and "no sir" I was so fricking scared. Worst experience of my life.

The upside is that they threw my wallet under a car as they ran away. This was in the parking area of a small apartment building, near some railroad tracks (a short cut). After it was over, I was looking for my coat under the cars, wanting a cigarette. It took me a solid minute to comprehend that they stole my jacket. It was the most unreal thing to me that someone would steal my fricking clothing off my body.

But I grew up in western Arkansas surrounded by cattle farms.
