Top 10 Near Fails of My Life


  • The first slot is the easiest. I filled a bowl with barbecue chips once, and on my way back to the living room to watch Back to the Future 2, I dropped the bowl. Luckily, I caught the bowl with one hand, and didn't have to pick bits of chips off the carpet. 
  • Second on the list goes to the time I put a waterproof fire cracker in a jar of water when I was young. I got to keep my eye sight. 
  • Third goes to the time when I feel through the ice on a pond, and I didn't die. Death is the ultimate failure.
  • Fourth bullet goes to the time that I fell holding a glass and I didn't spill a drop.
  • Fifth was the most difficult to decide, but I will put the time that I moved my grandfather's truck out of my way, so that I could go to school. Instead of avoiding it like I should have, I hit it with my car anyway.
  • Sixth goes to when I worked at the boss and girl's club and while hanging in the gym with them, I ripped my jeans, which would have been embarrassing if I had not been wearing athletic shorts.
  • Seventh goes to the time that I got angry during an argument and threw my phone down. It would have slammed into the carpet of my apartment, but instead it hit the ottoman and it bounced right back into my hand. Close failure on that front.
  • Eight goes to a similar instance, where I left my phone atop my car and drove down the highway. I only realized when it bounced off of the trunk and it was skipping down the highway. It didn't break, so plus. 
  • I left a 64-pack of crayons in the back window of the car, it was a mess, but it was a cool mess to color with.
  • Finally the tenth one, I threw a rock during thanksgiving with family. I was aiming at a tree, and my rock landed between two branches. All of the younger people began throwing rocks at the tree. The adults thought I was a wizard for getting them outside.
