The luckiest moment of your life

That was the luckiest moment of your entire life? :b
Stink bugs freak me the hell out but so do most insects..
especially moths.
I once saw this post on the internets: "I see a stink bug, I need to leave the country"

One of the luckiest moments in my life was walking next to wild grass and as I was walking I spotted a coral snake slithering pretty close to my foot while I was walking (just in flip flops might I add). I didn't get bit, miraculously.

 

Once I was walking, then I stop for one second, and then a pidgeon pooped just in the place I would have been if I kept walking. And when I met my ex-girlfriend.

 

I worked in construction for a long time. I saw guys do all kind of stupid dangerous shit. You get used to it, unfortunately. Many times i got lucky i forgot, i was used to it. I remember one time this huge aluminium ladder fell just beside me when it got pushed from the roof by the wind. Actually, i think there were many lucky moments while i was drunk, which i also dont remember...

 

The only thing I can think of at the moment is countless times that I didnt hit someone while driving when I probably should have. My car is really nice in every way except vision. It's designed terribly for seeing well, which of course I didnt realize until after I bought it. It has huge blind spots and you can barely see out the back, so a lot of times I just have to hope I'm not going to hit something, and there have been a few close calls. I remember one specifically where I was changing lanes on the freeway. I looked behind me, looked in both my mirrors, and checked over my shoulder and I didnt see a car beside me at all. But then when I pulled into the other lane, I glanced in my rearview mirror again and there was a car RIGHT on my bumper. I have no idea how I didn't see it, but I'm just really glad I didnt hit them.

 

Well, long time ago, when I was a careless fool running along a railway line, I tripped and almost saw the words "GAME OVER". Lucky stars or whatever
Although I count meeting her as one of my luckiest moments but that's not surprising as I am a fool for love.

 

tripped on the edge of a cliff but fell sideways

 

I’ve had quite a few lucky situations, some involving life and death.

But perhaps my most miraculous one was from a sporting accident I had. I was running up a hill to catch a ball, I tripped (near the top of the hill) as I jumped to get it, and I landed hard on my left hand then on my neck as I rolled down the hill.

My hand was shattered to the point where even the doctors thought it wouldn’t return to full functionality (because the sudden downhill made the distance larger than it should’ve been). To this day, I don’t think it fully recovered. I might have some nerve damage in my hand because I only feel dull pain in my left hand compared to my right hand, although I can still move it quite well. I can stab my left hand with a pen and I would only feel discomfort rather than actual pain (and I don’t think that’s healthy, although it seems useful for creeping out people and other situations).

The crazy thing was I only had minor damage to a few of my vertabrae. It sucked for a long time because it would hurt to move my head, but it could’ve been so much worse. What happened to my left hand could’ve been my spine which would’ve no doubt left me as a quadriplegic (although maybe it wouldn’t have been as bad). Just the fact that I may have been paralyzed in a freak accident over a stupid hill was life-changing as it was and perhaps the most memorable instance of luck or a miracle that I’ve had, although I’ve been in more dangerous circumstances before. I think it was after this that I actually started turning to God because there was definitely divine intervention there.

 

I was driving my 1997 Chevy Camero with the T Tops off, a S10 pulls out in front of me blowing through a 2 way stop. He totals both of us, and drives away from the scene. The song Locomotive Breath by Jethro Tull was playing at top volume.

He is found at fault, and his insurance wants to settle immediately. My car looked pristine, but was a POS under the hood. They gave me full blue book for the car in excellent condition. $5K and $500 for personal injury (I wasn't injured.). The car was maybe worth $1,200.

I immediately apply for a Working Holiday Visa in Australia, and set my departure date for a week after it was approved. I spent 2 years traveling Australia/New Zealand on that crash.
