People Share Their Scariest “Oh Heck No!” Moments
We all know that classic movie trope. Confronted with something incredulous, a character goes, “Oh heck (or another H-word) no!” and gets the heck out of there. Well, that film cliché was inspired by something real. These Redditors dished on the moments that made them head for the hills. From creepy crawlies to stranger danger, delight in the fright of these real-life “Oh heck no!” moments.
1. Do I Pass?
I was in a car accident in my early 20s. I was driving around a bend under a freeway on my last lesson before going for my probationary license when a car driving at least 70km/h over the limit (160km/h in a 90km/h zone; about 100mph in a 55 zone) smashed into my rear drivers’ side.
The car I was driving spun out of control and smashed into an underpass.
My teacher and I were both desperately lucky to be alive though we both sustained serious injuries.
2. The “High” in Highway
Got into a car with a friend; did not realize she was VERY high until she almost killed us blowing through a red light. Made her pull the heck over, and I drove us home—suspended license or not. I was not ready to die like that.
3. Red Hot Summer
Last week, when I started the BBQ, went inside to grab the things, and came back out to see the entire grill and top of the tank entirely engulfed in flames. Apparently, we had a leak we didn't notice.
I managed to throw water on the tank and cut the flames ASAP, so thankfully no real damage, but I think I'm done BBQing for the year.
4. If Only You Could Renovate Your Anxiety
I was home alone one day and heard someone walking on the roof. I literally almost pooped my pants. Found out later that the roofers were coming that afternoon. Mom forgot to tell me.
