The weirdest bed thing I ever heard of was when my cousin had a copperhead coiled on her bedpost.
That’s actually pretty common in some areas of the South. Copperheads are notorious for getting inside. Also a damn mean snake. I’ve had several run ins.
The wildest personal run in was when I went into our oil shed behind my house. I turned around and there was a copperhead cpiled up on the edge of a shelf at eye level. I freaked out but stood completelystill for at least5 minutes. Eventually I realized it wasn’t flicking its’ tongue. There was absolutely no movement. So I slid to the side, slowly, and it didn’t watch me move.
I moved further, got a rod and poked it. Turned outto be a statue thing my boss put in there to deter rats. Almost deterred me into dirty underwear.
I was on a tour in Thailand. I forget where we were going. It was a large group of us. The tour guide sat on my lap and tried to get me to go home with her afterwards but that’s another story.
The van driver hit a couple on a moped and they crashed and he sped off. We all said something to him and tried to get him to turn around but he just kept going.
No one had a cell phone or anything.
Emergency services in other countries aren’t as thorough as they are in the West.
I lived in Japan for three years and it’s not a poor country. In fact it’s much more expensive than most western cultures. And we were warned never to get in an accident. An ambulance isn’t coming.
I once saw someone ski very fast into a rope barrier / safety sign that warned skiers to slow down. They were nearly decapitated by the safety sign, which I found ironically funny.
