‘Well, That Sucks’: 45 Times Homeowners Had Their Day Ruined

Yes that's an absolutely terrifying thought. Since we've already gone this morbid; I guess if you got immediately paralyzed there would be some ""comfort"" in knowing there isn't anything more you could do but try to accept your fate. I fear falling and accidentally cutting my throat. The panic of trying to stop the bleeding while also trying to call for help. I don't think a phone touchscreen works well with a bloody hand. So I'd have to run outside and try to find someone all while being closer and closer to death. The anxiety of all those super important microdecisions. And the stress of knowing I'd only have a limited time before being too weak to do anything more. 😩

Skip showering, pee in bottles, and brush your teeth in the kitchen

even worse when somone finds you, you will be naked

It actually happened to me once. Got out of the tub and I guess the difference of hotel water vs cold air made me faint, I hit the sink with my jaw and thankfully didn't get more than a deep scar on my chin. But damn when I got up from the floor and looked in the mirror I saw myself full of blood... jee that was a scare. But again, I got extremely lucky that day.... it was 1997 and still have that scar.

I was going to make a pretty cynical comment, but I won’t. Don’t worry it won’t happen.

Can you get one of those panic button things that elderly people wear, so that they can call for help if they fall?

my fear would be dying naked, lol

I live alone too. I once slipped at the top of my third floor stairs. I instinctively grabbed on to the railing... And when I got to the bottom of the steps on my ass and elbows, I was gripping the railing, which came with me the whole way down. I was lucky not to die a few times, all alone. I hate living alone, but I also wont do random strangers as housemates. My dad and I eventually installed what seems to be much more secure railings, but I had been without them for so long that it took me a long time to get used to USING them.

Never crossed my mind until now. Thanks!

It's mine too now.

Are you now currently awaiting rescue and are on Bored Panda?

I've always wanted one of those walk in, high seated tubs for the elderly. I prefer showers, but occasionally like a bath and would really like a bath sitting up with the water to my neck, but a door to easily and safely step out of the shower. You know, not much.

That’s sounds scary. I tend to get dizzy very often and I spend a lot of time alone until my partner comes home. I always feel that one day I am going to faint while going in the stairs, break my neck or bleed slowly until I die. Nobody else will miss me anyway.

that's why I play wordfeud with a lot of people.. if I don't play, I get calls. If I don't answer, police will be called.

Welp to be honest I never had that fear.....today is day 1 of birdbaths.... thanks @Sum Guy

Sum Guy tell people where you live, tell friends. Many people live alone and this don't happen. please make sure you have a friend that check on you once and a while. Like if you don't answer the phone in 3 days he/she come over. Wow, that's so specific, like in a movie. Now I have it stuck in my head.

Same here. Can't even have my cats eat my corpse in that situation because they can't get that door open and I close it when I go to take a shower.

Once slipped and barely missed the shower handles. I now always shower with a shower mat. You should too

That's why you need an Alexa in the bathroom hooked up to a phone line

Oof

It happened to me once. Just my parents were home. And I did not die... but I looked like a rainbow.

Well i just got a new greatest fear

Time for a phone in the bathroom

:O

Food for thought

new fear unlocked

No one? May I suggest you sign up for the safe house search thing that the police check on you?

thanks for that l o v e l y thought. I'm probably going to remember that whenever i get in the shower now lol

you are all over this place! ;)
