Relief. There aren’t many feelings as sweet as relief, that warm glow you get when you let out a big “PHEW!” and realize you just narrowly avoided a huge shitstorm.
Here is a list of those times, some of which were more important than others. This list has it all, from almost putting the spoon handle in the soup (the horror!) to almost dying from a chainsaw.
Check out the list below, and don’t forget to tell your friends about it.
