So I wanted some good reads of interesting stories that people have experienced and I guess I'll start with one of my many ;0)

-----------------------------------------
It was sometime last year me and my bro Michael were at this chicks house and there was some drama so being the good citizens that we were, we left the house for a walk and let them deal with their own problems. Now mind you it was around 3AM or so.

As we were walking a very, very clean nissan suv with blazingly shiny rims pulled up and the individual asked where the street "Uvalde" was. My bro pointed and said, "Just up that way chief." Next thing you know we both have a gun (just as shiny as the rims) pointed at us while he tells us not to f'n move.

Now we aren't idiots and we didn't say a word to each other and sort of were able to talk with our thoughts I guess. After the passenger got out of the car he told us to empty our pockets. Both of us obey these commands and I give him my wallet which has two credit cards, my id, and a dollar + some change...then I also hand him my big red gum. My bro empties his pockets and hands him two packs of cigarettes and a bic lighter. Of course they had our shoes now and pretty much once I handed over my stuff instinct took over. I slowly start backing up and my brother has that look of what the heck are you doing! Well I was backing up to get the license plate #...there were a couple of times where he redirected the gun to my head with his hand over his head, gun sideways like a "gangsta" and said I'm gonna shoot ur b.a. if you take one more step.

The driver got out after putting a shirt over his head and pushed me back forward. Him grabbin' my butt to do this was awkward I must say but he was reaching in mah pockets. This all took maybe a minute or two at -most-. Then the dude with the gun said ya'll have 10 seconds. Now here is the most interesting part - me and my bro don't sprint off like most people expected but rather walked and then jog'd a little. Next thing you know 'pop' and then we heard the zing and the ping of metal. Not even a second after that you heard the squealing of tires and then we bolted back for it to get the rest of the license plate.

A cop showed up almost instantly because we were robbed right in front of a cops house. His wife had called him so we know he must have been speedin' like crazy. I told him the last 3 digits of the license plate "764" and off of that they were able to determine allot about the car. We told him the make and model the best we could. White Nissan with shiny rims. The individual had dread locks, brown eyes. The driver had short hair but we couldn't tell what his facial features were because of the shirt. Soon after that we found those guys while driving around at a run down apartment complex. Now we did have access to a gun at that time but being intelligent people we didn't take advantage of that.

They pulled over the car that met the description at around 6-7AM and got us to identify the people. Turns out he robbed us in his grandma's car and since the gun was in the car with one spent round all of them were taken into custody. So in total they escaped with about 90 dollars in shoes(store value so probably 20-30 dollars street if that), $1 + change in cash, my credit cards which were immediately frozen. My id which I put a fraud alert on my name immediately afterward, some gum, cigarettes, and a lighter. Now they face (last I heard) aggravated robbery and something else (no not attempted murder) because they fired the gun in our direction (hit like 7 feet away) - maybe endangerment?. Only the passenger was convicted because we couldn't prove beyond a doubt what the driver looked like. Fun stuff now that I look back and glad that I do well under stressful situations. My bro insists I was in shock but how would I be so calm as to get the license plate.

So the moral of the story is ... Don't go outside at 3AM...even in good neighborhoods. So if your interested hearin' some more interesting stories of mine then just say so :)

So here is another one. One day sometime when I was 8 or so my aunt asked me to go get a plate out of the back of the truck. I went ahead and went outside, it was raining. I stepped into the back of the truck retrieved the small plate and as I was getting out I slipped. In one single motion my leg met the muffler cutting all the way down, past the nerves - to the bone. I didn't even realize how deep the cut was nor did I even truely realize the extent of the injury. As I was walking towards the door my cousin walked outside and screamed the most horrid scream you could imagine.

Quickly towels were gotten to stop the bleeding and I was loaded into the very same truck and a drive that normally took 30 minutes took 10 or so. That day I would've died if another 15 minutes went by even with the towels and pressure being applied to it.

They were able to restore feeling to my leg but the scar itself has no pain receptors.

Back in '06, I was cutting some boards of wood on a table saw. I never thought anthing would happen, but when I began to cut the last piece, the piece jumped, and when it did, it redirected my hand into the blade. I ended up cutting my right index finger pretty bad. At first, it didn't seem real, but I clenched my finger, not knowing the extent of damage, and rant to the house here in Indiana, and called 911.
Upon arrival at the Hospital, I was given X-Rays, with both parents there, and after a shot in the hand, and getting stitches, (I lost count after 15!). I was told by the Doctor that I was lucky, because I had shaved the bone, literally. I saw muscles, which made me woozy, and I nearly passed out at least 3 times, with such an injury.

Your story is awesome, but I have to say I cracked up when you said the guy started touching your butt LOL

I've never been faced with a gun before, but if I were, I would want to (I wish, lol) drop straight to the ground and kick the gun out of his hand. My dad in his youth did similar before, 'cept the person wasn't holding a weapon.

Good stories, I enjoyed them :) don't have any of my own though.

Comedic Relief ^^. It was strange nonetheless haha.

So here is another story of mine...at the time I didn't know how to ride a bike very well. Just took my training wheels off so my cousin Roy dared me to jump the ramp. It was 4 18 wheeler tires high with a wooden plyboard at its peek. The only thing on the other side was concrete. How did he bribe me you ask?! Ice Cream! I gleefully attempted the jump going face first into the concrete scraping my face. Now the normal response would have been to cry and I don't know why I didn't...but blood and all I went up to Roy and demanded my ice cream! It was strawberry vanilla.

Another story...my 2nd cousin Dustin was about 8 years old and I was 14 or so? Anyways he asked if he thought people could fly. Me and roy said ... "yeah did you know YOU can fly?" he was reluctant to believe and we said, "All you have to do is spread your hands like wings and jump off the porch. Not just anyone can do it, only 8 year olds!" So the porch was probably elevated 4 feet and the brilliant kid did exactly that jumped off the porch with his hands spread like an eagle. That was the day he figured out he couldn't fly. Cruel maybe....funny, yes!

Another story, I was closterphobic as a kid....so my cousin Roy, Charity, Monica, brother Michael and brother Daniel wrapped me up in a blanket tightly where I couldn't move blindfolded me and left me there for around 2 hours while they went and watched T.V. To this day I'm not closterphobic.

I've never been faced with a gun before, but if I were, I would want to (I wish, lol) drop straight to the ground and kick the gun out of his hand. My dad in his youth did similar before, 'cept the person wasn't holding a weapon.

Ummm that wouldn't be very smart assuming the gun is loaded you would be dead. The best thing to do is give them the feeling that you are cooperating. Its not like you see on the movies and one error will make you dead. I cooperated with giving them what they asked but as I did that I was just backing up to get the license plate #. I thought about going for the gun since it was pointed sideways and above but any chance of messing up and getting dead wasn't worth it. They were also under the influence it seemed like so their paranoia would even be worse.

Thanks for sharing ^^ Glad you didn't loose your finger like so many people have with power tools. Your lucky ^^ Your able to still have feeling throughout the finger?

Oh ya, I totally agree, it's just one of those things you wish you could do, but usually you never do the things you talk about. And frankly, I hope I'd be smart in those situations and not do something like I said.
