Okay either he thought you were going to pee on him or that you were crazier than he is.

I just silently screamed after reading this and the article you linked.

He (more than us) is probably familiar with the area and how far away they’d be from help. He also knew the likelihood of her surviving after X amount of minutes, he was a world class climber and has probably seen his share of shit like this. Probably knew they’d never reach them in time.

Amazing story—glad you were OK. I’ve sometimes wondered whether *not* acting in precisely the way you’re expected to act as a victim can sometimes help you get out of a scary situation. Like, if you had actually said “please go away,” he wouldn’t have, because then you’d be following the script? I got mugged at…

I feel like this one should win because it made me scared and also laugh out loud

As someone who worked in Japan as an ALT, OH MY GOD but also PLEASE GIVE ME A TOILET

but why on earth didn’t you just pee in the woods?

that is legit terrifying
