"I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left" - Seasick Steve
The last time I drove?
Having someone firing a gun over my head while everyone in my class ran across a field and jumping a chain link fence trying to escape comes to mind.
Of course, that's just one that I don't mind discussing. :D

The day the numbers left....*shudder*
All time scariest : Blatting along on my motorbike in the faaar North of India, when, upon coming upon a few bits of wood and a metal pole in the road, decided to accelerate around said obstacle and continue on my way.
2km, further coming accross another 'border control post' (for that is what it was) with about 12 soldiers all pointing loaded guns at me and shouting at me to stop. In Urdu.
Yup. I'd whizzed past the Indian border control, who were sleeping, and arrived 'unofficially' in Pakistan.
T'was a bit hectic for a bit. Lots of shouting and pushing and weapon brandishing. But then after a cup of tea and a smoke, it all calmed down a bit and we chatted about Bollywood movies and cricket until the Indians sent a officer type in a jeep to come and escort me from the border.
May not sound real scary to you, but it was tense times in that area, and a lot of shooting was going on between the pakistanis and indians. It really was a stroke o' luck no-one pulled a trigger....
most recent...
Surfing the other day on some waves that really were a bit too big for me. Got dumped heavily on take-off and then got held down just long enough to start seeing stars....Sphincter control in big surf is a talent that you learn early on tho....

Firearm qualification for my exposed firearm permit: The guy next to me fired a round from his .45 into the ground about 4" in front of my foot, while clearing a jam.

First HALO jump where someone else packed the 'chute.
Probably my first Naggy raid.

SCUBA diving. Drowning/choking/not being able to breath is one of my biggest fears, so SCUBA was quite the freaky experience.

My 1st time quad-kiting Spectres in Oasis of Marr had my heart pounding.

My poo-in-my-pants moment came when I got stopped and searched by mexican police in Guadalajara at 3 in the morning, with some coke on me. I only had a joint on me, that we had planned to smoke to stay awake to watch England-Argentina during the World Cup, which kicked off at 4 am cos of the time difference.
The thought of spending some time in a Mexican cell did not appeal to me all that much, and I remember vividly the feeling of dread that descended on me while he was searching me.
Thank God for corruption!

Haha, mine is swimming into a black abyss to pull Phinigel Atropos only to have 8 bugged seahorses and Phin jump out at me.

We had a guild group with a pick-up Necro who had no coffins and kept forgetting to cast DMF so repeated drownings made that a 4am quest finish

Haha, our group of friends used to go to my hubby's computer lab and do Hate with 9. Because we started these raids at 12 am and ran til about 6 am, our necro was always falling asleep and we'd only know because when my hubby was out pulling he'd see the skele pet run by. Then there'd be a room of us screaming, "NECRO PET WTF!!!".
EQ was such good times. *sniff*

I lagged off the boat on my ranger's first trip from Butcherblock to Freeport and drowned in the middle of the Ocean of Tears. I was so scared I'd never see my banded armor and my finesteel longsword again.
What's scarier is how just thinking about this kind of stuff makes me want to reinstall EQ, for the tenth time.
Also, this thread went from legitimate terror to really fUcking dorky scarily fast.

Well if we're going to go eq-geeky about it...I'd say the run from FV to the Lake of Ill Omen past the invisible spider monsters was always pretty scary. I was bound in the windmill to avoid it.

Hehe
I think the funniest drowning story was when my guild was raiding plane of water. We had a new bard recruit who drowned about 6-8 times. They'd rez him and he'd just have enough time to loot his corpse before he'd drown again. After a while the raid leader just kicked him out. Apparently bards can't swim even with their breathing songs.
