I have been in plenty of unsafe situations, but as far as doing something deliberate:

I had a camaro when I was 18, after nights of drinking I used to get on highway 495 and drive at top speed, sometimes as far as cape cod and back


eventually I totalled it drunk driving on a back road

Probably mix a whole crap load of drinks together.
I was damn near depressed at some point and just said fuck it.
I couldnt tell u which drinks i mixed but it was too much for me.

My body was messed up. I woke up feeling drunk and with a fever.
Took my temp and it was 102. Drunk some water and took it again an hour later. This time it was 103.5. I didnt want anyone to know because i didnt wanna go to the hospital or anything. I laid back down and when i took it once more, it was 105. I could hardly walk. I didnt know what was going on but i didnt care. I cant remember what i took..whether it was motrin or thera flu but my temp finally went back down.

Dont know wtf happened but

I went through an insane whore phase when I was younger. Always safe(r) encounters, but literally countless partners. disbelief That was definitely the most unsafe thing I've done, and I'm grateful to have been moved past it.

My bestest friend (RIP) and I used to drive up to Santa Cruz a lot in the 80's. (They had the only 18 and over gay club.) It was a long and windy road up into the mountains. On our way back we would turn off the car lights and as soon as we thought we were going to crash we would turn them on. We would be laughing and screaming the entire time.

We could have literally fallen off a cliff.


God I miss him sooooo much.

When I was like thirteen I joyrided with a friend of mine whose father taught him how to race. We raced with 100 km/h through his neighbourhood, totally irresponsible. After a couple of times of almost getting into an accident I declined to join him again. A little while later he had caused an accident that almost hurt a little baby. He had to go to court, got a sentence and couldn't get his drivers license for 5 years after he got 18. neutral

Lately, I am not much into danger seeking anymore, altho' during my last travel I went out at night in one of Costa Rica's most dangerous cities. I didn't get robbed by any drug user or gang member, but by the police! They abused their power, intimidated the hell out of me and, after they took my money, dumped me at the most dangerous place in town in the middle of the night. mad People there were openly carrying guns on the street and I became an instant target. Luckily I got away safe... neutral

Yikes. Why'd the cops stop you in the first place? Was it a racial thing, you think?

Drank rot gut vodka, mixed it with Pepsi, beer and a joint.
I was so sick I thought I was going to die.

No purely money. I only went out for dinner and after I left the restaurant went back to my hotel. I passed the corner and they were standing there. They saw me and immediately called me over. Because I didn't carry my passport (I only got out to grab a bite and left it in the hotel) they had a reason to hold me, notcaring about my request to go to my hotel one block furhter and get my passport. So they made me empty all my pockets on the street, took me in their car and told me they would have to take me to the station and lock me up. then they changed their mind and did go to my hotel where they searched all my stuff to see if I wasn't carrying any drugs. Then I had to get back into the car again, closed the doors and made me pay up so they could "eat" before they left me at that horrbile spot.

This all was completely uncalled for, but this part seems downright illegal. (Or it would be in many parts of the world.) Assuming you were in or around San Jose, I wonder if the Dutch embassy might have been able to do something about this?

No it was in Puntarenas (a large port town) and yeah it was very much illegal, but I am not sure what my embassy could have done while I was sitting in their car figuring out a way to get them off my back. The thing is, Costa Rica's police is very much underpaid (and involved in the drugs and gang business) and altho' I could have resisted, they could then have me beaten up and later claim they found me on the streets like that and simply helped me out. Ain't no way then I can prove they did that to me.

I am still going to write a formal complaint to Costa Rica's president tho'! lol

I heard a couple of stories mine pales to. One guy told me he once got stopped three times in Nicaragua by police with machine guns. Every time they claimed he did something wrong like speeding and told him to pay up big time with a machine gun pointed at this head. After one day of driving he lost 400$ that way.

I meant afterwards! mad But I suppose it'd still be their word against yours... and Dutch authorities wouldn't exactly have jurisdiction in Costa Rica.

Sucks.

Right! And you know, I didn't have proof I had to pay them either. They knew exactly what they were doing.

But alas, while no fun, it was pretty exciting not knowing what these assholes were going to do with me and trying to get out of it the best I could. lol

lol Obviously I would!

Seriously, I did always wear at least a copy on me. I got in late in my hotel tho' (didn't even wanna spend the night there), changed my clothing and forgot to take it while I only went out for something to eat. What are the chances of that happening then? eek lol

By the way, I also climed a 40 meter high 'arbol estrangular' tree. That was pretty unsafe too, but a very cool thing to do. Here some pics! biggrin


The tree from the ground



Climbing from the inside



Met a nice girl on the way to the top...



Hippies in the top of the tree



View on the Pacific from the top of the tree

Gotta say that 7 hour bus drive with the driver looking drunk and texting on his phone all the time while he was circumventing potholes on the road or was driving through the mountains in the rain, was pretty interesting too.

* Going out at night in a foreign "Third World" country without your Passport.
* Climbing 40-meter-tall trees with no apparent harness.
* Passenger in a bus driven -- through mountains -- by some drunkard on a cell phone.

hmmm

We've definitely gotta get you married off. You need a girl who'll keep you out of trouble. no no no!

Well, don't marry him off to this girl, because I have a stash of similar stories

*Arriving by bus at 11:00pm in Cairo (travelling alone), and getting in a fight with a cab driver who subsequently abandoned me on a random street curb with my luggage. I had NO IDEA where I was.
*scaling a cliff above a river and getting stuck there with no way to move (also alone)
*being a passenger on a crazed jeep climbing the Himalayas on a one lane road full of hairpin turns and spectacular dropoffs nutso
*wandering around the Roman Coliseum at night wacky and becoming a victim of physical assault by a band of gypsy children
