A favorite on /r/askreddit, or at least it seems that way to me.

I only have one, and it's not very entertaining.

I was on a bus going to work. A few stops before mine the bus gets cut off by another bus. The driver started yelling at the other driver then pulled over and got out of the bus to, I assume, escalate the conflict. We were near my stop anyway, so I got off before things could get hairy.

Till reading a couple of the posts, I'd forgotten about this:

I was about 22, and living with my first roommate. He was a decent enough guy, but got rowdy when he drank with friends. I don't drink, but as an introvert who was trying to fit in with "normal" people, I went along with the following.

He had some friends over, they were drinking, but not a lot. One of them speaks up about a woman, his manager at work, who they all seemed to know somehow, and hated. They know where she lives, and that she's not home, so off we all go. I'm just following along, because I want to fit in, and I'm stupid. They break into her house, I go in with them, thinking they might just fuck around and maybe steal some booze, or something. That's all that's going on for a few minutes, then someone says, "I'm going to piss on her bed.", and another one adds, "I'll shit on her bed." That was bad enough, in my mind, but someone else ups the threat and says, "We should kill her cat, where is it?"

'Ugh, what the fuck am I doing here?', I think. So, I tell my roommate, who wasn't making stupid threats, but seemed likely to go along with it, that I was leaving. Fortunately, I had driven my own car, because I learned that lesson long before this incident.

According to my roommate when he got home, they did piss on her bed, but did not kill the cat. I moved out soon after that.
