Moments of huge relief
1. A little girl, about 5, came along and begged to be lifted up so she could see out of the window. Eventually I obliged, but to my horror she suddenly leaned so far out that I almost lost my grip on her. I was desperately pulling her back into the train when, a split second after her feet touched the floor a bow wave of wind slammed like a door, another train screamed past in the opposite direction, seemingly inches away. I looked at the little girl in my arms and was relieved to see that she still had a head.
2. I was taking my girlfriend home in my battered old Land Rover. Driving down a dark country lane when a dog jumps out in front of us in what was obviously a canine suicide attempt. Thump! Definitely hit it - cue girlfriend's screaming, "is it dead, is it dead?" A quick scout around the car sees it wrapped up in the wheel arch, lifeless. Prodding and poking at it does no good, it's stuck. Reporting this is rewarded with more screaming. Jack up the Landy and remove the wheel, now I can peel the dog from the arch. As I free it the bastard springs to life, bites me on the hand and runs away at top speed. That's a relief. (Via b3ta.com)
