Seagull- When I was in San Diego, I visited Sea World. The bottom line of the story is I was leaning over into the seal tank, got attacked by a sea gull, which in turn slammed my head into the railing. Within 2 seconds, I had busted open my bottom lip with blood everywhere, and the seagull had cut open my cheek. I was cussing and yelling, then I realized there were little kids there, and all I could do was laugh. My girlfriend who was with me at the time was half scared, half laughing at me. From that point on, I am petrified of birds attacking me.
Cat in the House- About 2 months ago, our neighbor lost her cat. A week later, she came up to me and said that she saw and heard her cat in our guest bedroom(the fact that she was peeking in that room is creepy, but that is a different story). Anyway, she came over two days later and searched our house, and found her cat living in the house. The first thing that jumps out is that I have a beagle that barks at everything, and somehow this cat lived in the house for a week without my dog knowing. The other thing was I was off work all week, and I too did not see the cat living there. I am not sure how it got in or how it lived there for a week, but there is no way that could happen to anyone else.
My dad flooding the basement- This story is only great if you know me and my father and how we act around each other. I had just bought my own house, and he was over helping me with some stuff around the house. My basement was finished and had a nice leather couch set and big screen tv and all that in it. The outside hose had a little leak in it, so he was outside putting a new hose on. I was upstairs pulling up some carpet and I heard this screaming coming from downstairs, yelling at me to come down there. I get to the top of the basement stairs, and I see my dad standing there underneath a part of my ceiling with water pouring down on him. Within 20 seconds, most of my ceiling collapsed in on him, and 2 of the main water pipes busted and my basement was turning into a water park. This all came from him trying to do work to all the pipes to fix this drip outside. I ended up having to get a whole new basement, and from that point on, I still think my dad is sad and upset about the whole thing. Me and him both know, that no other person would have been able to flood a whole basement just by putting a new hose on out front.
Airbag exploding- I was driving home from college with one of my buddies in the passenger seat. It was the middle of the day on 81 north(major highway), but there was no traffic around. Out of nowhere, my airbag explodes on my face, and I slam on the brakes, and swerve all the way over and nudge the guardrail. Me and Matt are so confused and amazed at what just happened, we don't even the time to flip out. The rest of my car was fine, so after realizing what happened, we got back in and drove back to Bmore with my busted airbag hanging out of the wheel. I tried to sue Honda, and get money from them, and nothing ever happened with them.
Cops coming to Kenilworth at 1am for the flood- It was a Thursday night during the ncaa tourney and we had been out watching the games, and we got home and went to bed at around midnight. About an hour later, I hear a loud banging on the front door, and I get up and look out my window, and see 2 cops outside with their flash lites shining on the house. I get a sick feeling in my stomach, due to everything bad that goes on at that house. I go downstairs to open the door, fully expecting for them to come in, search the house and arrest me and Tommy. Instead I open the door, and the cops yell at me that we have to evacuate the house right away, because of a massive flood happening on my street. I clear my eyes, and I see that the whole block is under a foot of water and people are running down the street. Our house was right in the middle of the flood, and all the water was running down our driveway and down the side of our house. I go and wake Tommy up, and we end up never leaving the house, but just standing at the door and watching this. A pipe had busted at the top of the street, it collapsed the road, and 2 cars fell in the hole. This went on until about 4am. Tommy's car was in the driveway, so all the water was rushing under his car the whole night( he had a big truck high off the ground). My car, on the other hand, was parked on the street and was being crushed with water all night.
The next morning(at around 630 am) everyone is out on the street looking at the damage. Before we went outside, I started getting calls, bc our house and my car were on the news. News crews were only allowed to go to a certain point down the road, and the cut-off was our house.
My car had about 1.5 feet of standing water in it, and it was covered in by rocks and stones from the flood tearing up the sidewalk( imagine a car being surrounded and buried in by snow). There is no way that whole thing could have happened to anyone else except me.
There are some other things (my engagement and wedding and how that ended, my arrest, etc...) but those are for another time.
