I once stood up on the strand of the CATV while gaffing a pole. I felt the hair raise on the back of my neck and looked up to see the high-voltage electrical line very near my face. Good thing I was wearing my hard hat.
Almost ran myself over once. I'd had a fender bender in my old Mercury - messed up alot of stuff. Pulled the car into a parking lot and lifted the hood with the engine running. The dang thing klunked into gear and nearly ran me over. I couldn't stop it so it gunned across the lot and hit a restaurant on the corner putting a Deep-V in the front end.
Oh, and I married my wife.
