Hey Pandas, What's Your Near Death Experience?
When I was about 8 years old I nearly choked on a hard boiled sweet. It got lodged in my throat and I couldn't breathe. My older brother saw me, grabbed me by the ankle swung me upside down and then whacked me so hard between the shoulders that the sweet came flying out. He then just lowered me gently onto the couch told me to be careful and then went out. Later on that afternoon I told my mum what had happened. I was still a little sore from his whack between the shoulders and as Mark (my brother) and I at the time had a typical older brother younger sister relationship where we often fought but we always made up, I thought he was being mean to me. Mum said " You were choking and a person can choke to death in minutes if what is lodged it their throat isn't removed immediately. Your brother saved your life. You could be dead now if he hadn't done what he did." That stunned me. I went into the living room where he was listening to music. I said to him "mum said you saved my life today, thanks for that. But why when we fight sometimes would you do that.?" "Well, he said." you may be one of the World's most annoying little sisters, but I wouldn't want you dead." Thanks bro. I love you too. And I still do.Hey Pandas, What's Your Near Death Experience?
So my old school did this thing where if you were good all year, you got to go to a theme park for free (minus food and souvenirs). I'm not a huge roller coaster fan, but the water park had some relatively mild waterslides that I'd be willing to try, but the thing I was most excited about was the wave pool. Now, I was a peculiar child. I was short (under 5 foot) and stout back then (still kinda am), but I was a huge daredevil when I wanted to be (I once bit a bite out of styrofoam on a dare and ate two rocks because they looked like Fruity Pebbles, to name a few examples), so I was determined to get the most out of the wave pool. After arriving at the park, I immediately rushed over to the water park, itching to ride some gnarly waves. I changed into my suit, put on some sunscreen, and speed-walked to the pool. During the trip, you were supposed to stay in a group of three or more friends so you didn't get stolen or die. Sadly, my friends abandoned me because I hate roller coasters, so I brought my chaperone mom with me to the pool. I jumped in the pool, buzzing with excitement about the wave pool. I swam over to where the (significantly bigger) kids were, and immediately decided they were wimps and I wasn't, so I swam even further out, almost touching the fans that made the waves. Note that there was a lifeguard maybe 10 or 15 feet from where I was floating. At that point, I was swimming in 8-foot water, almost twice my height, so I was really treading water hard to stay afloat. The waves started, and I was doing pretty ok for the first few. But. I have contacts, so I have to keep my eyes closed or else they fall out, or use goggles, which weren't allowed in the wave pool. After riding a 3-foot wave, I closed my eyes for a second to flush water out of my eyes. But they were closed for a second too long... A 3.5-foot wave washed over me, and I panicked. "Okay, me," I thought, "what should you do now? You have three options: thrash wildly until someone notices (most efficient option), use your superhuman abilities to burst out of the waves, or admit defeat and welcome death." I chose... kind of a mix of the three. I was thrashing around, trying to get above the waves, but I was also okay with the fact that this is probably how it ends. I've lived a good life, I've loved, I've lost, and I will greet death with open arms. Now, this is where it gets weird. Just as I was about to take my last breath, someone grabbed me by the shoulders and yanked me out of the water. After I shook my head to get the water out, someone asked, "Are you ok?" I wasn't really able to talk, my mouth and nose were full of water, so I just nodded. Now, remember I have contacts, so my eyes were closed the whole time, so I didn't see who it was. I opened my eyes after a minute and saw... no one. There was no one in front of me, asking if I'm ok, no Adonis glowing in the light of the sun, no one. I looked to my left, and there was only a girl who smiled at me and didn't look like she knew me. I looked to my right and there were some big dudes wrestling in the now-calm waters. The waves lasted two to three minutes, so for the waves to be completely gone after I came up would mean I was underwater for at least 1 1/2 minutes. I looked up and to the right at the lifeguard: she sat there, completely dry, just staring at the pool, not noticing the 11-year-old who was trying to grapple with what just happened. I immediately swam as fast as my tired little arms could go toward shallow water, where my two (*cough* jerk *cough*) friends were, trying to find me after abandoning me for more fun activities. I swam past them and up to my mom, who was eating funnel cake. I grabbed a piece with my well-chlorinated fingers and said "I almost drowned but someone saved me and disappeared before I could look at them." She dismissed it as the imagination of a young human, but it was very much real. So that's the story of how I almost drowned at a theme park!Hey Pandas, Could You Please Share Your Most Mind-Blowing Shower Thoughts?
If I see the color blue, I call it blue. But what if to someone else, blue looks like red, but they call it blue, and so we all can agree that THAT color is blue, and THAT color is yellow and so on, but in reality we all see a different color and that one color is way more pretty than the others but we all have different faverote colors but really we all have the same one??????????? DUNNO.
Hey Pandas, What Is Your Worst Failure?
I've destroyed a friendship between one of my friends and her old friend. Her old friend hated me and believed I tried to steal my friend from her, even though I didn't. One day I sat next to my friend in class before her old friend could get there and when she came over she lashed out at my friend for choosing me to sit next to her. She told her she always chose me over her and other things and she stomped away. My friend doesn't blame me now, but I always feel so horrible thinking about it. I should have given them more time together and I thought I did. I gave them all of recces and lunch and some class time, but I guess it wasn't enough.Hey Pandas, What Should Have Never Been Invented?
Fake pockets on pants. Those things are annoying, AND useless. Upvote if you agree.
