Most dangerous place you've ever been...

[Princess L]

Before GPS, my mom and I drove from the Palos Verdes area to Griffith Park Observatory and ended up on Western Ave. not knowing any better.  Didn't know how to "get out" and white-knuckled it the entire way, running several reds.

Heaven and hell are closer to each other than most people think.

White Knuckled it, does that mean pedal to the metal?

Running several red lights, or did you run over several indian chiefs on the way?

[Army of One]

+1 for creativity.

Marks out of ten?

That was a fun time.

Animals....whole country needed to be glassed

LOL
It means gripping the steering wheel tight  

I don't think we would've been ticketed for blasting through red lights had a cop seen us.  Actually, I don't think I would've even pulled over until hitting Los Feliz.

Camden, NJ...guys looking for trouble on every corner. Stopped at a fire house, guy told me to get over the bridge to Philly right away. That was about 10 years ago, don't know if it's any better now.

How far does this taint spread in the eastern and southern direction?

Does it get better around Voorhees Township? Gloucester City? Collingswood?

[Lustral]

Never felt worried about my safety even when I should have. Went around slums in Sao Paolo at night trying to find a shop selling beer, could hear the odd gun shot and siren and 20-25 people were being murdered a night while I was there but anyone I met was always friendly and fascinated by seeing a foreigner there. Got in a fight in a nightclub there too first time I went despite gf telling me you could get shot if it's the wrong person.

Ireland is a pretty safe place, 30 years and never been randomly set upon or intimidated for no reason.

You know what they say about how to outrun a bear with your buddy next to you. 

"Sorry mom!  You had your time!"

Two times was assaulted when I pulled off the Interstate in the wrong neighborhood... DWW. First was in Philly. I was with a customer, me driving and he reading directions. We just landed at airport and picked up rental car. My passenger said "get off here." Oh shit!! We looked around and we were in an impoverished neighborhood. I attempted a U turn and was suddenly surrounded by teens pounding on my car and shouting racial shit. They started to rock the car when an elderly man walked over from the gas station across the street and confronted the kids. "You little Ns get outta here and let these people alone." He looked like an authority figure in the neighborhood. He pointed to the Interstate return ramp and said "Go!" The rental agency wrote me up for all the dents.  Glad I bought the optional insurance.

The second time I was driving from RI to NYC when the luggage rack on the roof began to slip. I pulled off, as it turned out, in Spanish Harlem.
Bad mistake. As I struggled to retie my luggage I was attacked by a group of thugs. They pushed me aside and pulled off one of our suit cases. My wife reached under the seat and pointed her .38 at them and screamed...."leave us alone". They backed off shouting  "cool it bitch." I quickly retied the luggage and sped outta there.

I have worked 12 Step inside of prisons, walked the streets in the West Bank Palestine, and been on the edge of volcanoes. Nothing as scary as the  hoods of my own country. This however is kids stuff compared to what our combat veterans face every day.

The difference is that as a soldier you know what you're getting yourself into, and you normally have a different approach and mindset when going there (with weapons etc).

You should feel like it's a warzone when in your own country.

But it is what it is.

All of us will experience this in some degree or another.  The current economic/jobs situation is very grim.  Social unrest is inevitable at this point.  This will happen sometime in the near future.

Got ammo?

Walking home in London at like 2 am with some neo Nazis following me.    God damn was I relieved when I found a cab.

Lost in southeast DC by myself in the middle of the night.

[Core]

I`ve had so many trials,troubles,and tribulations in my life that I could write a book.

I used to be one crazy bastard.

These days,I`d be scared shitless to do a just quarter of the insane shit I did back then.

Got wiser as I got older..........I`m lucky to be alive! 

Wes you need to make a thread consisting of your stories I would read every single one and look forward to each new edition. I've heard a few of them, you've lived a very full life my man.

Interesting, you've promised everything and delivered nothing in this post. How about you actually tell us what you'd be scared shitless to do today that you did back in the day. Otherwise, I call bullshit on you.

[Primemuscle]

I know exactly what you mean.  I really didn't think im going to make to 35.

Chances are, you've hardly lived yet if you are concerned about making it to 35 years of age.

[Primemuscle]

I never thought I`d see 18! 

Empty statement again. Tell us why you never thought you'd see 18. Almost everyone does some crazy shit when they are young. It comes with the age of feeling invincible.

When, where, why?

Nebraska Ave, Tampa Florida, 3am, lost or something...

Yeah, I've actually been there.  Played a bar in Tampa and was seriously lost at 3 am after a gig.  Went to a gas station and there were literally groups of people carrying baseball bats, interacting like characters in San Andreas.  

Scariest place... crack house in Newtown, sarasota, FL.   As yall know, I'm too much of a wimp to use fina or pot or whatever, so yeah, crack is certainly out my league, but was trying to help a family member caught up in that bullshit.  It was 15 years ago maybe.  Standing in a crack house trying to get the person outta there.  Going room to room looking.  Fist all over that glock under my shirt in serious fear.  

Dumb situation to enter, I'd like to think I'd never do that again, but at the time, you just do things.  I can't see how people can live that way.  Can't see how anyone can go to such a place to just use drugs, fart nonstop, and sit there for days on end.

My mom moved to Queens with her boyfriend in the early 1980's. She didn't much like it there so she asked me to fly back to NY and drive her home to Oregon. I did. As we were leaving NY in her 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass she decided she needed to hit a bathroom to take a leak. We were in the Bronx just shy of the Washington bridge. All the buildings were boarded up. I handed her a paper cup and told her that this was her toilet until we crossed the Washington Bridge into New Jersey. I can't remember if she actually peed in the paper cup or not. Never-the-less, this ended up being a road trip to remember.

Sad situations!! I hate that!
