What's the craziest thing you've ever done?

[Brian G.]

Hey guys,

I don't know if you agree with me but a life without challenge and risk is not worth living.
What's the craziest thing you've ever done or the biggest risk you've ever taken?
A year ago, I gave $200 to a homeless person.

Here are crazy risk takers on wheels, OMG!

Speaking of drugs, I learned a few years ago that nutmeg was a psychoactive, and a pretty strong one at that, with deleriant effects. I ingested two spoonfuls of it. A few minutes later, I made a startling realization. I was running for some student council position in school and had to give a speech in front of the school tomorrow. I was scared as fuck, I went to sleep and woke up intermittently in a very tired, delirious state. I woke up in the morning feeling disassociated and a bit "off", with a bad stomach ache as well. Barely sentient, yet one with the essence of panic, I managed to do the speech, probably sounding strange with a very weird look in my eyes.

That's probably the craziest sounding story I have, though it wasn't really that crazy.

I know it's just a spammer bumping the thread, but once in Feb 2010 I went to 7 live music shows/concerts in 7 days which was crazy even for me. Especially given I was working full time then. The week had Isis on Tue, Clutch on Wed and Faith No More/Eagles of Death Metal on Thu, plus local acts on the weekends. It would've been 6 shows but after the 6th a friend and I wandered to another bar and there was another band playing into the small hours.

Had an epiphany in 2018 which included collapsing in a fit of laughter - basically changed my life.

Stayed awake for 51 hours to listen to a long drone music track. No substances needed to achieve that, just insomnia.

In 2009 I lost control of a car at about 75mph and did a 180° spin down the road in dry conditions, luckily without hitting anything. Hadn't learned much from the previous time at close to 70mph in heavy rain...

Last year I hit an exit ramp going a bit too fast. It had been very slightly sprinkling and I lost control of the car, spun out, went off the road, and the tires dug in and caused the car to flip and do a complete barrel roll. Luckily it landed on the wheels and I wasn't injured beyond just being sore for a few days. The car was totaled but surprisingly, the damage wasn't too bad.

Gotta be really careful, a car has so much more force than it feels like. You don't realize until you lose control of one. Be warned that the road is often at it's slipperiest when it first starts raining, because it takes a bit for the rain to wash away the oil and rubber debris that's on the road.

Craziest thing I've done that I know about was being black out drunk and trying to take a cop's gun from his holster. Friend basically saved my ass by pulling me into the crowd.

That's pretty scary, that's how people get shot. Glad you're okay.

The craziest thing I’ve ever done was definitely booking a last-minute solo trip to the Caribbean. I didn’t plan anything except my flight and just went with the flow. Ended up staying at Divi Resorts, and honestly, the experience was amazing. I had no idea what to expect, but the Divi Resorts customer service was top-notch, and they really helped me figure out activities and places to explore. It was totally out of my comfort zone, but I’m so glad I did it. Sometimes the most spontaneous decisions lead to the best memories.
