We all have stories…
What do you mean by crazy? I’ve been in some scary situations like car accidents where I could have died Chas Vshalom.
The day I literally bumped into squeak at a restaurant…
You start off with yours and we’ll say over ours!

I almost got kicked out of Fenway Park.
I saw the Yankees win the World Series.
I have two kids. That’s pretty crazy.

That’s insane! Details! What happened?! Were people on it? Did it blow to pieces or just have a mini fire?
That’s pretty cool.
I won the lottery!……in my dreams…
I was walking a trail, stepped off a rock onto what looked like grass.
It was a ditch, and I found myself waist deep in swamp.
Yuck!

I cant imagine how scared people must have been. Howd you handle it? Were you ok?

I guess you are lucky you were young and dint chap. Most people who were older who did chap probably were left with an acute fear of flying that probably lasted them a while.
Captain Mohammad? After 9/11? Im surprised nobody raised a stink.
my friend and I getting attacked by two ‘yeshiva guys’ in the neve shortcut on our way back to seminary…
you’re sure you don’t mean shabobniks. What do you mean by attacked.
I became a member on Yeshiva World and havent stopped commenting since!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!JK
One of the times that I almost got arrested. I was in yeshiva and a baalhabus wanted to donate some furniture (beds) to the yeshiva. I went along to help schlep. We went in a uhaul to his deceased parents house in a quiet, not yeshivish town, at night. We finished loading up and were about to leave, when the cops blocked the driveway. A neighboor had called. B”H, the son hadn’t driven totally away and noticed what hapenned. He wasn’t parked in the driveway. He explained what was going on. I can just imagine what would have been a few seconds later. I don’t think the cops would have bought our story. We probably would have been in the town’s police jail for good few hours -till everything was cleared up.
@yeshivaguy1…idk if the mods will allow me to go into detail on this one….get my drift??
was this in the last year or two? I picked up some talk from some guys I know about some kind of incident like this that they were involved in. (again, its not 100 percent clear what happpened to you)
I came face to face with a hyena in the forest near Har Nof and it was getting dark…
@yeshivaguy1 the vad harabonim of tzius in har nof got involved, idk if they ever caught the perps tho…it happened 3 years ago.

BPT, a similar thing happened to me when I was a little girl. We were at the park for a picnic and my dad and I were playing catch when I missed the ball, ran after it, and suddenly found myself sunk halfway in a swampy thing. I was screaming that I was in quicksand, and my daddy saved me. I was never so scared.
While flying from New York to London (my home town), my plane ran out of fuel and we had to stop to refuel. We weren’t allowed off the plane, but when it was time to takeoff, one passenger was unaccounted for. We had to sit and wait for 3 hours while they tried to solve the mystery of the missing passenger. It turned out that the passenger was in the bathroom the entire 3 hours–doing what, I’m not sure, but he was found in the end. He didn’t even seem embarrassed.
About a year ago I was baking on a Sunday afternoon and ran out of flour. As I also needed to pick up a prescription, I ran out to the supermarket. I picked up my prescription and paid for it. I then picked up a bag of flour, went through the cashier and started to leave the store. A young man came up to me and said “Ma’am you have something in your handbag that you haven’t paid for and you will have to come with me.” Well, the kid was young enough to be my grandson and had a huge grin on his face. I followed him (like a lemming) to the customer service desk, but I began screaming at him that never before had I been treated like that. He kept claiming that he saw me put something in my purse near the pharmacy. Yes, I had put my wallet away. I emptied my entire handbag out and then he said “apparently I was mistaken”. Well, I let loose and demanded to see the store manager. The person at the service desk felt so badly for me that she came out from behind the desk and put her arms around me. The “security” kid said that he was going to write his report. At that point, I detained him and told him that he wasn’t going anywhere until the manager arrived. He still had the stupid snicker on his face. When the manager arrived he explained that security was provided by an outside organization and he gave me a phone number to call on Monday morning. The kid who “arrested” me decided to leave at this point – still smiling. I told him that I would have the last laugh when he lost his job. The next morning, bright and early, I was speaking to the owner of the company. When I told him about the incident he told me that he would investigate. He called me back within the hour and told me that this kid had been called for a review the next day. The next day the owner called me back and told me that the kid had been terminated. While I felt badly that he had lost his job, his actions had been totally inappropriate – as he smiled throughout the incident. I guess to compensate me and prevent me from seeking legal action, they sent me a $100.00 gift certificate. Now, that is the craziest thing that has happened to me. Can you just imagine my grandson saying “my Bubbie, the shoplifter”?
In Dec 2006 i was in a store in Ramat Gan that trades in high value goods. While i was waiting, in came 3 hodded arabs with guns in thier hands making threats that if they wenrt given what they wanted, they would shoot us!
one of the people in the store was ex-army and had a pistol but h WAS afraid to do anything
they got away with 3 million shekel worth of goods………….
I almost got security involved in the apple store for being in there for too long with a friend.

Whats called too long? Its not a crime to take your time in a store…

Minyan gal- Cool! you should actually be thanking the kid! 🙂
I traveled overseas erev Yom Kippur and our luggages got lost withing the airline.
We spent a frantic 24 hrs worrying if we’ll get our things back in time for Yom Tov(clothing, food…)
Upon our arrival we shopped for basics that we needed for the day(underwear, a fresh towel, socks, pajamas…)
A few hrs before Yom Tov we went to the airport and picked up the found luggages.
One FULL suitcase with ready cooked food went straight to the garbage can.
It was an experience! Not very spiritual for Erev Yom Kippur!

Blinky – while the gift certificate was nice, I really wanted and needed a new car.
A basketball backboard fell on me.
last year
me and my friends were shopping in a mall and a security guard told us to follow him. he led us to a office and he said that we were being to noisy, and we were disturbing the shoppers (we may have made a little noise but not enough to disturb) and he said that we had to wait there until a parent or guardian came to pick us up. I was the only one of us 4 who had a phone.. but it was dead and they refused to let us use their phone.. so me and my friends started to scream.. a few people actually came to see if they could help but when they got there the guy told them that everything was under control.
after a hour of screaming our throats were killing us my friend got an idea. she started to flirt with the security guard!
after about 30 sec. he asked for my friends #, he was so disappointed when she didn’t give it to him.. I wonder why….then he actually let us go!
as we were leaving another security guard came in with a group of teens (not Jewish) only then he realized his mistake…he was so embarrassed. he begged us not to tell anyone… we said okay and the second we got out of that office we stopped the first person passing by and borrowed their phone and we called 911
now we laugh at the story but when it happened it was really scary!
Absolutely nothing
One day I started posting on the Coffee Room (where’s that?)… and then…

Fdt, inappropriate.

How crazy of me to do something like this. This must be one of the craziest things ever. Top ten for sure.
1. To bad.
Yes, it is a way to bad.
O yeah I remember now. I stood on the edge of the Empire State Building, leaned over too much and fell. luckily I had a parachute but OOPS it was jammed, I started saying a kapitel of Tehillim only I couldn’t remember any. luckily I landed on two feet and I’m alive to tell the tale
Well Utah, I posted on one that wasn’t posted on for…………5 years! Beat that!
