What's the biggest risk you've ever taken?

[Brian Fantana]

Just helping Mrs F fill in a job application, and this question came up.

What's the biggest risk an NSCer has taken? Be it in the workplace, financial, personal life etc.

Go.

Getting into a taxi in New Delhi.

"Uh, mate, where's the seat-belt?"
"No, no, do not need a seat-belt"
*five minutes*
"Yep, definitely going to need a seat-belt"

Telling her in doors I didn't like the colour she'd chosen to paint the living room walls.

Overtaking at 120mph on a bend (nearly killed myself) - lots of driving risks taken

Criminal acts

Dangerous liasons

Standard stuff

Nicked a vanilla sponge from our local corner shop when I was about 11. Hid it under my hoodie which was balanced over my arm.

Is this thread supposed to include sexual manoeuvres?

1: getting married after 6 months of knowing the now wife.
2: going to palace on my own 84 at the tender age of 15
3: walking back into a night club to confront nazi scooter boys who had beaten up all my other scooter club mates and the bouncers because I did not want the fear of them chasing me and getting me at a later date....
4: using a footbridge over a dual cartridge way in Stoke as monkey bars whilst drunk.... I did get across four lanes God knows how.
5: driving home drunk after a gig in Derby back to Manchester, the scary part was we (yes passengers) woke up in Penrith !!

A lot of shame there.

Not proud of it and I guess I was in a very dark place subconsciously but it was on a night out a few years ago whilst waiting for a train at Three Bridges to Brighton. The conversation went quiet and as a dare I said I'd jump across the railway line when a train was coming. I'd been drinking for most of the day and everyone was telling me not to do it. A couple of girls were crying, begging me not to risk my life but I got down on the line, carefully not touching the line with my feet otherwise I was a goner and stopping, waving at the incoming train. The driver hooted - it wasn't stopping and it was going about 100mph but I pulled myself up onto another platform quite calmly, just in time. It wasn't until after and the nightmares when I was asleep of dreaming that I'd died how f*ck*ng stupid I'd been. Ruined the night out as I got taken home by one of the girls and she knew I had no fear of dying. I didnt either. Terrible, Terrible time. I knew then I HAD to seek proper, professional help because I would probably have played Russian roulette again.

Why is that a risk? Apart from risking getting arrested

[emoji23] I only needed 1 and refused to buy a pack of 5, spent an hour pacing up and down the aisle and bought a candle I didn't want so it didn't look suspicious. It was only when I was sitting in my car outside I realised a life of crime was not for me.

How much was the candle and how much were the pack of hooks?
Just a thought

Every time I go to get something from B & Q, looks like half of the packaging on the plumbing isle has been ripped and something stolen, I think some people steal one washer.
