I'll start, though it is pretty mundane.

Was climbing a mountain far from home. It was daylight, so that wasn't too creepy, besides it's a well known spot.

There were some fucking monkeys there. They were kind of used to people... Well they were used to stealing food from people.

There was this guy and he seemed to be the alpha male. He opened up my sack and took out a plastic bag. I'd have gladly let him take any food item he wanted from that bag, but the problem was that bag contained my scooter keys, my wallet and my phone (it was raining heavily).

Fuck.

I had to make a decision, i tried to take the bag back but they monkeys reaction was highly motivating me to let go.

Thankfully he removed and carefully set aside my shit (on the edge, few inches from a very deep gorge) and took my food items.

I took them and went away.

Call me a coward, but I was freaking scared.

I live a sheltered life, so packs of wild dogs while on vacation. With monkeys you can communicate via sign language and work out a deal, like you clearly did but dogs?

Little land sharks.

I know some people use rodenticide with food to feed them to get rid of them.

Poisoning animals is bad, better to spend an hour slowly beating them to death with a small stick to reduce suffering.

You hate them extremely...

No, I respect the existence of every living creature and think we're responsible to ourselves and fellow living organisms to avoid causing pain and misery.

I just think that slowly dying for several days from internal bleeding is much worse than slowly being beaten to death during an afternoon.

Your concern trolling have no power over someone who think before they write.

You can fight with the alpha male.

The question is, can I win! Besides there was a whole bunch of them over there, they'd be crawling up my ass if I tried to try the alpha male.

[–]Snow 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Why you think they would?

Maybe they want the alpha male dead since long time ago.

I didn't know about this, but honestly, I'd rather avoid a fight when I'm out to enjoy.

When I did a cold extraction of codeine because I was out of my codeine-containing medicine for my migraines. It was supposed to take out the tylenol and leave me with shitty tasting, but migraine-diminishing codeine.

It worked. But the next morning I woke up feeling really strange. So I thought I was dying from accidental tylenol overdose. I was rushed to the hospital, where they tested my blood, didn't find significant amounts of tylenol, but very significant levels of morphine.

My "feeling weird" was a "morphine high". Needless to say, I am not going to get addicted to that crap any time soon. But yeah it was scary, thinking I was about to die. At least now I know my cold extraction technique is on point.

I shat on the floor and tried to push it down the shower drain until I realised I could've just flushed it down the toilet. There was shit everywhere and I had to throw away the towels before someone knew.

I'm so happy I'm not the only one who made this mistake!

Paranormal ind33d!

The scariest were both times I got away from attempted muggings.

Since you brought up paranormal, I've seen at least four UFOs that I can recall clearly and vividly. The first two were identical and could have been the same craft, on different evenings, and on an Air Force flight path; it was your more classical disc with lights around it. They were large, flew low, fast, straight, and silent over my old house. F16s regularly flew just as low over us. The third was also at that house, that one was an erratically-flying, high altitude "red orb", in the middle of the night. The last one was also erratically-flying, but it was metallic silver. Shape was difficult to make out, but I caught that one on camera at my mom's house a few years ago, cloud-height, mid afternoon. None of those scared me at all.

All I know is that whatever these things are, I really fucking want one.
