Thread: What is the most outrageous experience you have ever had?

Tweet

This post follows along Laurie's trivia theme... What is the most outrageous or unique thing that you have ever experienced? For example....

I helped apprehend an escaped murderer. True story! I went for a ride-along with my husband before he retired from his job in law enforcement. Two people who were convicted of murder in another county escaped from a moving police vehicle as it passed through our city. One of them was caught right away, the other was on the run. After a "very" high speed ride, my husband left me by the car as he went down into an overgrown area by the river where the bad guy was believed to be hiding. I saw the "perp" creeping through the brush and yelled out to direct my husband to where the bad guy was. He was apprehended by my husband at gun point. As he was being interviewed at the hospital (injured during the escape) the suspect told the reporter that the officer's voice scared the crap out of him and he didn't want to get shot so he decided it was better to surrender. The newspaper did an article about my adventure. It was my 15 minutes of fame

Why does that story not suprise me?

GoodNESS, Madame, that sounds pretty exciting!!! My experience will be quite boring compared to that, I'm sure, LOL! Hmmmm, I wanna think about this for a bit- I'll be back.

My experience will be quite boring compared to that, I'm sure, LOL!

Laurie, I don't believe for a minute that you have a boring minute in your life!

i can't think of any right now...but i'm sure i will later but nothing i have will top that madame! that is freakin scary, i woulda peed my pants!

I once saved a gas station from going up in flames. I was getting my usual morning soda at the Amoco station across from where I used to work. I was getting in my car when I heard a lady yelling from behind the Food Mart. She was yelling , "Fire! Fire!" I ran over to see her flailing her arms about while her Camero was on fire. I told her to calm down and step away from her car. Instead she yanked the hose out of the car and gas and fire spewed everywhere. I could have smacked her really. I ran inside and screamed for the extinguisher (the sign said it was inside) but infact it ended up being on the other side of the building OUTSIDE. I ran and got it, gashed my hand open trying to pop the damn handle, and then I put out the fire.

I was so exhausted by the time the 10 minute ordeal was over I just left and went to work before the fire trucks ever got there. The owner of the store thanked me by giving me a styrofoam cup of soda. You're welcome.

Most outrageous experience? Hmmmm ……. well I did once voted for Tricky Dick
Does that count? Learned a big lesson from that scary event!

Nothing like that, the most recent interesting experience...

Wife and I were coming home from a dinner (10 pm or so)and a Pontiac GTO flew past us. He pulled back in our lane and weaved around. We thought he was just messing with us, so I backed off. He then proceeded to weave all over both lanes, touching grass on both sides.

The wife called 911 while I followed. He got off on our exit, and we kept following. 911 was having trouble sending appropriate authorities since he was now in another county.

All of a sudden, this guy STOPS in the middle of the road, I slow down and stop. I was thinking...he knows he's being followed and he's about to shoot. He then slams it into reverse and HAMMERS it, screeching tires and everything. I do my best to get out of the way, but no luck. The guy goes 50 yards in reverse to hit me. I'm able to almost get out of the way, but he hits my front fender and bounces down the side of the truck.

He then takes off and my adrenaline is pumping. I floor it and chase him, when he turns into a subdivision and I put my truck into his door, pinning him against the curb. I get out, reach inside his car and take his keys. He had no idea he had just hit me.

The guy is a retired Lt. Col. from the Army. Blasted. He admits to being drunk. When the cops show up, he tells them I hit him... but the evidence is everywhere, and a fireman's wife in the s/d had heard the whole thing. They arrest the guy for DUI and I find out he blew a .20 later that night.

For what it's worth, the guy called me and profusely apologized to me and my wife, and wanted to know what he could do to make it right... I simply told him, don't be stupid. If you get drunk, don't drive. The next time you are going to kill somebody.

Those are some neat stories!

the guy that lived behind me and my buddy ,locked his wife and baby in the closet and set the house on fire ....we didn't know it but, we just went in to save the dog when we saw the fire then we put out the fire with pots and pans of water by that itme the living room was destroyed...thats when we herd the knocking in the bedroom so we ran in grabed the baby and woman and ran out just as the fire trucks got there..... wow what a wild day...
