Imptatient
One day I was in the middle of Lancaster waiting to cross over a busy road, as I was half way over a big articulated lorry stopped right in front of me.

Me, being an impatient bastard at the best of times decided to cut through _underneath_ the lorry to get to the other side of the road. Unfortunately I'm 6ft 3 tall and being a lanky fucker I bashed my head underneath the lorry, fell over and nearly shit myself as it started moving with me underneath it.

I escaped unhurt but only by a foot or so, I still have nightmares thinking about how close I was to certain death.. Stupidest thing I've EVER done by far.

ruddy heck
have to agree, that is rather stupid!

thinking about it though, it's incredibly daft how many risks we take in our everyday lives just to save a few seconds. like most other people i'm sure... the amount of times i've risked life and limb by crossing the road at a busy junction when the lights are red but i'm sure i can make it across in time... when the green man will pop up within 20 seconds at most if i can only wait. stupid isn't the word really.
