In the other place, I told a crazy story, where my dad dodged death by the slimmest of margins and as a bonus discovered that he gave up a kid for adoption 50 years ago that none of the rest of the family knew about, but by crazy coincidence, I ended up living about 5 miles away from.  What's your craziest story? |

I'd blur out that motorway as well, took me about 15 seconds to find those start and end spots

I gave away where I lived on the Internet and got sent a pallet of colon snakes.

Haha. I missed that last one. Not that it I am too concerned about the people on this thread. Or the internet in general. From that vague start and end point, I struggle to work out what crazy stuff can be done to me. But better safe than sorry. Thanks for pointing it out.

I heard at least 100 forumites order a courier, open their freezers and start packing coolers with brown popsicles

Heard about a girl who trolled people on a forum (4chan or one of those shitty places) offering to post topless photos if they paid for her pizza. They paid, she reneged, they doxed her and made her life a misery until she posted the pictures
The internet can be proper evil

That's a fair point. But that girls mistake is that she gave someone her address, right? Once that is out there, you should just expect awful things to happen.

I just tried looking for the story and the search results were fucking weird
Either way, I don't think anyone should expect to be sexually assaulted over a pizza

I once found a child hanging from the branch of a tree by the hood of his coat. He wasn't even struggling, just hanging there, defeated. Must have been there a while. i told him it'd be alright and if I saw anyone, I'd tell them he was there

You can't leave it at that, Nick Leeson It was in my more adventurous youth, and as I wasn't caught I should be careful with details, although it was decades ago, so maybe I'm ok. Just think a smash and grab gone wrong :-) |

According to wiki the United Kingdom. Unlike other countries, the United Kingdom has no statute of limitations for any criminal offence, except for summary offences (offences tried in the magistrates' court). In these cases, criminal proceedings must be brought within 6 months.
Tell us anyway. We won't tell, Technohippy

I once, very nearly got cut in half.
Seconds away from it, but a small Italian meat truck driver saved my bacon.

Kind of, he parked in the loading bay next to the reversing skip wagon I got trapped behind.
It was over 30 years ago, I wonder what he's doing now? He is my hero, old Luigi, whatever.

I once got chased by military police with dog units along the beach near Shoebury Barracks because they thought I was dealing drugs to squaddies.
Nope, never convicted on no dope.

Sounds like the time my mate was late for work, living in Brighton around 2005 while the Labour Party conference was on. Carl was running along the seafront with a rucksack on his back, and Carl is mixed race so sort of swarthy and at the time had a shaved head. Terrorism was high on people’s minds back then, so while he was running along he started wondering why an increasing number of people were shouting at him, then screaming at him to stop, until he noticed the multiple sniper lasers trained on him and it clicked. After he got restrained and the police emptied his rucksack full of dirty clothes out for a rummage they let him back in his way

Once me and a couple of mates got stopped and questioned by police because they found us in the middle of town at 2am, near some houses they though we might be trying to rob. They asked us if we had any screwdrivers or other tools on us, but quickly changed their tone when they realised we were all 12 years old. We'd had a sleepover and decided to sneak out and go on a walk at 2am.
We'd gone all the way into town on a Saturday night, not concerned in the slightest about all the people being kicked out of pubs and clubs- but we were petrified when the police said they'd need to ring our parents to get them to pick us up.
They eventually let us walk home - on a solemn promise that we wouldn't do it again.
EDIT- Ok, that wasn't very crazy. I lead a sheltered life.

I was once arrested for handling £500k worth of stolen Tomb Raider games and spent the night in the nick. In the morning they decided I was the monkey not the organ grinder so they sent me on my way, (The organ grinder was in another cell, charges eventually dismissed).
Also fun was when when we had some lenses that we had someone look up the serial numbers for only to be raided the next day by the MOD because they turned out to be for missile guidance.
The joys of working in commercial salvage.
