    Long time ago may have been 8 or 9 in Poconos camping grounds, we had a golf cart to drive around the path and camping site, me and older brother took it to drive around..

    sure enough we see two bear cubs run in front of us..we knew if cubs were there, then momma bear is near by, we reversed and sped out the hell out of there.

    I don't remember how old I was exactly (8 or 9) but my dad loved to fish. he'd get me up early as hell on Saturday mornings and we go to different fishing spots. so we go to this lake and he parks the car. we walk down this trail and we set up shop on the lake. while waiting to catch something I get up start playing around like kids do. he looks over to check on me and calmly says its a snake by ur foot. yo not thinking at all I look down see the snake and take off. the problem is I tripped and fell in the water face first. it was the edge of the lake so it wasnt deep. my dad jumps up grabs me out the water. im crying and ? and he's laughing hard as hell at me. he carries me to the car and tries to find towels for me. i calm down and he looks at me serious as hell and says u ready to go back? i look at him like man i almost got eaten alive by a snake and then almost drowned and u wanna go back? he proceeds to tell me that the fishing poles and his equipment is still there. he follows that by saying the catfish should be biting now. smh

    my ? went back.

    My hamster bit my finger when I was a kid, he died weeks later and I never shed a tear, apart from that nothing too serious, my friend had a chunk of his ? bit out by a German shepherd and he still acts like a ? when he comes round to my house and see's my dog.

    Ohhhh! I forgot. Smh! So...in my old neighborhood, there was always these random azz pigs, usually in pairs of two sometimes more. For the most part the usually just wondered around minding their business but they were pigs with short tempers and easily agitated. So being kids we thought it would fun to throw rocks at them...so we would post up and hide near the woods with piles of rocks to throw at them. They would chase after us but could nevet catch us....? got real, real quikkk. So we spot them with this one big as pig with them. I mean this pig was HUGE! it was black with white in it...instant target for us..so we start throwing the biggest rocks we could find at it. Mistake...this ? makes a u turn and heads straight for us so we start running. Then it stops so we lookin like why it stop...wrong again. This ? gets out his jeep and opens the back door... giant k-9 gets out. We instantly turn into the characters from the jungle book and climb in the trees....never did that ? again...

    I once got stung in the palm of my hand by a bee, that ? hurt. But that's nothing compared to the rest of y'all. I hope I never come across an alligator. My soul would leave my body.

    I used to work at Lowe's in the early 2000s, I went out in the garden nursery center during closing hours to help them straighten stuff out until I encountered a brown copperhead snake.

    And I was like....

    Was in the parking lot of my apartment complex, in my car ordering a pizza, when I caught something out my peripheral view. It was a big ass black bear, and it was 5 feet from my car. I froze, scared shitless that it was going to tear up my car trying to get me. After about 5 mins it ran into the woods, and I went and got my pizza. Ended up getting a hotel that night cause I thought the bear would come back.

    I was 12, staying with my aunty in NC for the summer. She lived in the country so we always encountered wildlife. She had bushes right by her door that always had wasp flying around. Ran by it thinking they wouldn't notice but nope. Stung 5 times. The next door neighbors dogs got loose and chased my cousin and I all through the property. My cousin had my aunts pepper spray and sprayed that ? . It scared the dogs but we almost choked to death from the spray

    My parents told me I almost got mauled by a dog when I was a toddler. Said I was calling a puppy to come play, which mom says she looked up to a full grown German Shepherd running at me before she got me and got it away from us lol.

    Another one, my only time in Canada idk exactly where was, I was maybe 4 years old it was some petting/feeding zoo with bunch of Deers. I had bunch of cookies in my hand, for some reason every Deer ignored everyone else and came to me like 30 of them ? rushing me eating cookies aggressively out my hand. I been told I got scared started to cry and pops grabbed me and got me out of there.

    Haven't messed with deers since.
