Especially since you know the street is narrow as fuck.
Granted, the driver should not be going that fast on a residential street, but you need to be smart about things like that.

Paco, Michelle, or Mrs. Hung would not be impressed if you caused an accident right outside their got damn house =D

I was in between my door and my car fyi.

why would i try that? just because you're stupid enough to put yourself in that situation doesn't mean i am

6insomnia9 09-11-2011 09:41 PM

Exactly, so you wouldn't think that if i get hit and get sandwich by my door that i woudln't die?

I didnt choose to do that but my friend was standing 2 cars in front me as i was about to go into my car when he got into a conversation.

Numnuts.

Happy 09-11-2011 09:43 PM

i would say injured but not die for sure
plus if you see a car speeding towards you why wait till the last second?
why not jump away 1 minute earlier LOL

6insomnia9 09-11-2011 09:45 PM

i dont have eyes the back of my head?

i literally had to sandwich my door and the car so i dont get crushed.

There is only space for once car to pass and it isnt an open high, cars parked throughout the street on both sides.

Sorry to hear that...I really feel for you. I've only experienced it a few times in my life (and I'm sure a fair number of people here have as well), but the sheer terror I've experienced from a single episode is more disturbing than almost everything I've experienced awake.

In case you aren't already, I'd recommend that you try to think of those incidents as purely biological reactions. For example, the terror part of sleep paralysis has been confirmed to be an over-stimulation of the amygdala, not the demonic activity implications that many cultures associate sleep paralysis with.

ate some skewers @ tropika when i was little at cambie. Choked so hard on the fat that the everyone in the restaurant turned their heads and stared straight at me. This one huge white guy beside my table grabbed my back and bear hugged me.

I swallowed the fat

bro..how are you gonna call anyone numnuts after the situation you put yourself in?

Hmm I think you're missing the point.

Everyone is ragging on you not because of your lack of psychic abilities or telling of the future, but for you lack of common sense in this particular situation. Instead of putting yourself in that situation where you could've been seriously injured or have died, you should have avoided the situation entirely by following basic understanding of dangerous situations.

Basically, what you should not have done is gone between yourself and your car door in such a narrow street for a prolonged period of time. A prolonged period of time is any time more than it takes to get in/get out of your vehicle and off the streets. If you had done this, this whole situation would have never occurred.

So next time, instead of talking to your buddy with you sandwiched to your car/car door, walk on the sidewalk (where you're supposed to be) and talk there to avoid cars travelling on the road (where they are supposed to be).

MG1: I suffer from sleep paralysis but I learned to beat it, just focus on moving your thumb or toe. Seriously focus, you will eventually start moving it then your whole body along side it.

spideyv2 09-12-2011 01:42 AM

I heard sleep paralysis is some serious shit. Apparently a lot of it is due to stress?

sleep paralysis is easy to get out of. just focus on breathing. or let it play out.

i've never gotten sleep paralysis waking up. only falling asleep. actually it happens a lot.

i'll be laying there, then things start to vibrate, like the air and all the molecules feel like they're vibrating, my muscles start to "fail". like its harder and harder to move, then i cant move... then my sight starts fading away darker and darker like im passing out, and i cant say anything, or move or do anything, and the buzzing gets louder and louder and louder.

i fought it once and got out, i just tried to move really hard and eventually the reverse happens and my body "wakes up".

sleep paralysis happens to everyone, just most people aren't conscious when it happens.

Weaving in and out of traffic, abusing shoulders in rush hour traffic etc. All illegal, all highly dangerous and despite doing all this irresponsible shit they have this attitude like they own the damn road. :speechless:

I agree with both of you. However, I think we have all been driving long enough to know that there are fucking stupid ass drivers out there. I'm talking C-lai's that don't give a fuck, young people who are not yet experienced enough to drive, and just random dumb fucks.

I would not feel safe if I were riding a bicycle or a motorcycle. You could be the 2011 defensive cyclist/motorcyclist of the year and still get fucked up by the shit ass drivers we have in our city.

i know my story will probably sound dumb but here it is.. because yeahh,. whoes kayak flipped before. I've heard none

i went to kayak this summer for the 1st time. I am a swimmer and was equipped with life jacket.

Anyways, I bend down and was fixing my pant and I guess I was leaning toward the left side a bit. A wave came from my right and I lost my balance, my kayak flipped and I was in the water after like mili second .

They all tell you DO NOT PANIC if you fall into the water but now come to think of it that was not fucking possible, there is no way that you dont panic at the moment you fall into it because I didnt expect that to happen at all. I panic for the first few seconds trys to get out the water to breathe and grab onto my kayak but i was not able to stable myself to float my head on the water and my brain tells me to "calm down, you are a swimmer equip with life jacket". The moment I calm myself down I was able to breathe right and functioning. I spent about 15 mins of swimming to shore, it seems fucking long when one of my hand was grabbing the peddle and the kayak. I was exhausted and thank my parent for sending me to swim lesson when i was young.

Didnt have any image pop up in my mind except for "holy fuck am i gonna die ? and i just lost my iphone that i bought few months ago which has a lot of my travel pictures"

and I didnt even notice i lost my eye glasses until i got onto the shore that i couldnt see shit lol


swimming in wet shoes, socks, sweat pant and t-shirt is not a good idea, thank god i wasnt wearing jeans so anything or else it would be pretty heavy. (last min plan, didnt wear proper cloth. I am going in shorts and nothing else next time)

UFO 09-12-2011 08:10 AM

I got misdiagnosed with a bad cold/flu when I was 15 or 16. I was quite sick for a week, missed school the entire time. Felt a bit better one day and decided to go back to school so I wouldn't fall too far behind. That day, I couldn't walk more than 100m without completely losing my breath, had no energy at all the whole day, and this was already 'feeling better'. My mom took me to the doctor right after school (some exceptional circumstances that day allowed her to have a day off from work), who then proceeded to tell me to go to the hospital right away. At the hospital, most things were a blur. But I remember getting wrapped in warm blankets, getting really high content oxygen, and admitted into ICU because the hospital was out of regular beds (they told my mom this just to make her feel better). Ended up in ICU for 4 days, regular room for another 3-4 days.

When I went to the specialist for a follow up a month later, he told me I likely wouldn't have made it through the night had I not gone into the hospital that afternoon. I ended up with a sort of pneumonia which was unusual for my age, and the fact that my regular doctor gave me meds to treat something completely unrelated did not help at all.

is sleep paralysis when you feel like your whole arm is numb and prickly. It also feels like one arm is very heavy to move? I can move the other arm with the non affected arm. Feels like im moving dead weight.

Or did i just sleep too much on that arm and numbed it?

Nope, that's numbness.

Sleep paralysis is when you wake up but you can't move anything. I've had it a few times. Scares the shit out of me every time.

I've flipped my kayak before - but it was while I had lessons on how to exit a kayak. Were you kayaking by yourself and you don't know how to do a self-rescue?

Greenstoner 09-12-2011 09:30 AM

^ I was in the one person kayak, I got out the kayak as soon it flipped over. I consider myself lucky because I'm a pretty big guy and my feet weren't caught on anything. There were 3 friends nearby but we were all first timer. Not to mention 1 of them doesn't swim lol.
They later helped me dragged the kayak to the shore which helped a lot. The person who rented us the kayak didn't teach us anything other than telling us to go along the shore as the traffic was heavy. A lot of boats were passing by.
