Narrow Escapes
IHateSprouts tells us they once avoided getting caught up in an IRA bomb attack by missing a train. Tell us how you've dodged the Grim Reaper, or simply avoided a bit of trouble.

cycling home from work, dark, wet, cold..
coming across a mini roundabout, my right of way. two front lights, one rear plus three red flashing ones on my helmet, and bag. doing a fair lick.
quick look to the left, ok, the chelsea tank waitign to turn right has stopped, ok, sprint to cross! a puddle splashed up on my face, i instinctively turned my head to the left a little, and then grabbed a big handful of brake, ended up balancing on the front wheel, because some prick in a silver bmw (surrrrprriiiiiise!) 3 series came screaming round the corner on the inside of the big 4x4, literally drifting sideways, tyres smoking, cloud of white smoke pouring out of the exhaust.. he missed my front wheel by about six inches, and if i hadn't turned my face to avoid the splash from the puddle i wouldn't have seen him, and i would almost certainly be dead, or very very badly fucked up. shook me right up.
as i carried on riding about a half mile further on, the traffic had slowed to a crawl, and i was happy to see as i cycled smugly past on the pavement, this prick right in the middle of a bridge over the motorway, standing behind his BMW, now defunct and pouring white smoke like it was about to explode,quaking with fear while a huge irate red-faced lorry driver was screaming at him from about six inches forward and above his face, "GET YOUR FUCKING HEAP OF SHIT OUT OF THE FUCKING ROAD YOU FACKING CAAAAAAAHHHHNNTTTT!!!!!" and all the cars behind were beeping at him. what a dick. i was tempted to stop and give him more shit, but to be honest the lorry driver looked about another minute and a half from going on a full blown derrick bird style rampage, so i left him to it.

Gets a click for the story
Deserves another click for it being an arsehole in a BMW. An engineer who does work for us has a BMW X5 and a Porsche, and fits the stereotype for both.
