What is the scariest thing that has ever happened to you? - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Several years ago, I had to travel to Huntsville, Alabama. I took a jet to Memphis, then had to ride in one of those little, 20 seat turbo prop planes from Memphis to Huntsville (similar in size to the one that crashed in Charlotte the other day).

Shortly after takeoff, we flew right into the middle of a severe thunderstorm. It's bad enough when you're in a large jet, and hit some turbulence, but this was the scariest ride I've ever taken. The plane was tossed all over the place - the plane turned up on its side at one point, then suddenly dropped a couple of hundred feet. The overhead compartments flew open, and stuff was flying all over the cabin. The large jets usually fly between 30,000 and 40,000 feet up, so they can often fly above the storms. The small propeller driven planes only go about 10,000 feet up, so there's no chance to get above a bad storm. They never should have sent a small plane like that up into that kind of weather.

Everybody on that flight was doing some heavy-duty praying that night. I really thought it was the end for me. I have flown a number of times since then, but I refuse to fly on those small planes any more.

My little brother was going trick or treating and I followed him near a house (my parents were driving us around) and a dog lept out of the bushes and chased him back to the car. The dog didn't scare me, but seeing my brother scared did. I raced back to the car and I opened the door for him and let him in first, the dog bit me before I got in the car and I hit my head on the way in. I didn't want to see my little brother hurt....

I flew on a plane like that once from Dallas to Lake Charles Louisiana. It was bumpy and noisy. It was a freaky, adrenline rush of an expience!

That was a brave and unselfish thing that you did for your little brother. He's very fortunate to have you for a sister.

Those small turbo props can be unsetttling to fly in even when the weather's good. Kittflynn, I hope you never have the experience of travelling in one during bad weather.

(I was doing a "Fred Sanford" the whole time - "Oh no!!!....this is it!!!.....this is the big one!!!!)

Well, I was eight, and I was playing in this pit that was 90 feet deep, and I couldn't get out of it. Then, I remember some dog started to drag me up with claws and I FINALLY got away, but at least the dog saved my life.

AllIWantIsYourClutch · 01-12-2003, 12:30 PM

Well, this isnt the scariest, but it's the first thing that came to my mind.

We were going to a tennis game in this suburban thingy at like...7 am i think. (?) So first we stop at McDonalds and then we got back in the car thing and this one girl goes "Y'all better put your seat belts on cuz if we get in an accident, y'all are getttin' killed." yah so we drive for about 2 minutes and we're driving past this gas station and there was this car pulling out of the parking lot and our coach (who was driving) goes "They're gonna get hit." or something like that, so the car pulls out of the parking lot and slams into the car that was right in front of us and the car went flying like over the lil concrete thingy in the middle of the road. Yea that was scary. Then our coach pulled over and got out and stuff but someone already called the cops. But it coudlda totally been us.

I had to bring this backup because I just remembered something else that was scary. In the Fall of 1999, I got up that morning and I noticed my neck was hurting real bad, well when I went to lay on the floor to watch football and when I tried to get up I couldn't move and I didn't know what was going on, also that day my grandpa tried calling from the nursing home and I was alone and I couldn't get up to answer it and that was the last time he called before he died a few months later

and we also had a tornado warning later that day, and I couldn't move, so I had to stay upstairs, so later that night I had a massager(not sure on spelling) and by the next day it was all better, but that was scary that I couldn't move at all that day, I ddin't know if something was wrong with me or if it was a one day thing, luckly it was a badly pinched nerve, and nothing worse, but it hurt like heck, and other than the welding incident that was the second most scariest thing that has happened to me.

probably one of the scariest things that happened to me was when i was in disney world at the contemperary hotel and there is like this arcade and fast food place next to it i was in 4th grade and me and my brother went over to it by ourselves and he asked me if i wood walk over by myself so he cood stay and play games and i was like yea thinkin i knew my way back. and i got lost and was walkin around the place for like a half n hour and then my hamburger and fries got cold and i was scared i was never gonna find my way back and then i finally found out how to get back to my hotel room and my mom made my brother eat my cold hamburger and fries and she took me and my sister to chef mickeys

Good one!

Let me see... Probably when I was acting in a play called 'Last of the Red Hot Lovers.' Someone set out a prop that wasn't supposed to be out and it made a line I had make *no* sense at all. When I realized the error as I was about to say the line, I completely lost where I was in the script. The actor I was doing the scene with, in turn, lost where he was. So it was just both of us on stage. Alone. Silent.

Let me tell ya. There's nothing scarier than 1000 eyes on you, and not knowing what you're supposed to say. Dead silence. Hot lights beaming down on you. A few coughs in the audience. **shudder**

He went off stage to go find out what the line was from the director. Leaving me completely alone, in front of those 1000 eyes. Ugh. It was probably about a minute, but it felt like forever. My solution to the awkward silence: Picking up the prop bottle of Scotch and downing it and uttering quietly "phew, I am f***ed up.' It got a bunch of laughs, but I'm sure they were laughing at me, and not with me.

I can kind of look back and laugh now, but this is still the premise for a lot of my nightmares. I did learn one thing though: When in doubt, quietly drop the F-bomb.
