What's the scariest thing you've ever done?

Leaving home at 20.
Or west ham away early 80s
Or walking through staney park towards the anfield road exit with every scally threatening to nab your derby ticket.
 
Was visiting this hunter-gatherer tribe in the Southern Amazon called the "Ache" (Ah-chey") back in 1999. Some of groups were first contacted by "Western Civ" as late as the mid 1970s. I went on a hunt with them in the cold jungle. A source of mortality for the Ache is jaguar predation. Jaguars have been known to eat the Ache people. Sitting around a fire at night, jaguars would pounce and bite the head of an individual and drag them back into the dark jungle and up a tree. There's pretty much nothing one can do at that point. We had to spend a night in the jungle that evening after the hunt. I was scared sh__less as the jungle was pitch black, save for the eerie fire and shadows, and there were all sorts of strange sounds. I kept waiting to get attacked and dragged back up into a tree by a jaguar. I didn't sleep, but somehow didn't feel the numerous ticks that had crawled up my pants to feed in my groin area. At dawn, we had orange slices and raw coati (similar to a raccoon) liver for breakfast. What a visit!

The above was the 2nd scariest thing I've done. The first was probably asking a girl that I was crazy about out on a date back in 8th grade.

....puts my ‘painting the house’ example in the shade!!

Fine story.
 
Listen to Cleverley's penalty for Watford on the radio. I never had palpitations before that game, I get bouts now ever since, along with sweating and shortness of breath.

I am 30 years old.
