I was driving one night, almost no natural lighting.  These two dumbass kids on bikes with no reflectors were in the middle of the road, one on the center lines, one on my side line.  I didn't see them until I was right on top of them and somehow swerved right between them.  I don't understand how my Jeep fit between their stupid asses.  I hope they crapped their pants.

And before anyone says "watch out for pedestrians", PEDESTRIANS are supposed to be on the LEFT SIDE so they can see oncoming traffic, not just obliviously weaving the streets.

Did you notice that after the accident that for some reason the idea of people surviving on an island in a contest became unfathomably exciting for you?
No, I didn't realize that until 9 years later in May of 2000.

my bro almost got killed by a rock that was thrown at our house, it hit him in the head, but if it'd had hit him in the neck it would have been goodnight.
the same guys broke my dad's leg.

fuck nottingham.

Well once we were golfing in the gym and I let go of the club, it flew into the rafters and nearly fell and hit a friend of mine.

Other than that, when I was 6 my friends say I almost always nearly got hit by a van every day, the same red van too.

what the hell? don't you mean "near hits"?

OH MAN, THAT PIECE OF METAL ALMOST MISSED ME... thank god it hit me and... NOW I'M DEAD!? what!?

it means "two things missing each other by a very small margin".

i guess you could say they were very "near" each other.

Yeah, I loved San Andreas, but it was just such a black game. :x Like. Eh, I dunno, it was all so frickin' black, and I enjoyed the atmosphere of Vice City more.

My mum is probably the worst, she's had heart failure twice and was clinically dead for a few minutes, been run over whilst on her bike, fell out of a car (kinda funny), fell off a cliff and nearly drowned/hit rocks and been in two head on car crash collisions. no shit

I've had two serious near death drowning experiences when I was younger and I remember once when I was drunk off my face I walked into the road and my friend pulled me back by the scruff of my shirt and a speeding truck literally passed an inch from my face. But that's about it, can't really compare to my mother on that one.

our bus almost took out a smartcar.

(we were left-turning on a left turn signal, and they were turning right during a red light (coming from the other side) into the same lane.

Almost drowned when I was a kid.  I can actually attest to the fact that everything kinda slooooooows dooooown when your ass is on the line.  While bobbing up and down out of the water I actually saw my father sorta hanging in mid-air for what seemed like 30 seconds as he dove into the pond for the assist.

Other than that I've got nothin' but a montage of reckless assholes in big rigs almost sideswiping me on the interstate, but I guess that happens to everyone.

i was going about 70 in a 55 and was behind a truck pulling a pretty large boat on a two-lane road.  i looked down at my phone for something and when i looked up i saw that he had completely stopped to make a turn. i only had time to swerve around him and i'm just lucky that no one else was in the other lane.
Can creativity be consistent?
