Yes, but I can't tell you now can I?

I was driving on an interstate doing ~65-70mph and it was drizzling with wet roads. Car in the lane beside me didn't look and just merged into my lane. I had to get out of the way so quickly I fishtailed it and probably had the car at like a 60 degree angle at one point before correcting my steering and getting it back under control. Almost hit 90 degrees going down the interstate at 70mph when I was probably 19-20yrs old, so regaining control of the car was a highlight. Didn't panic or anything, just worked to solve the problem.

As for things I've told people about:

Solo skydiving on my first jump despite hating heights and planes.

Held an oxygen mask on a grown male lion in the back of an 80's Toyota pick up & helped herd a rhino that had escaped back into its enclosure. Also got charged by a gorilla (it was in its enclosure so it hit the bars, but it's still something to have an adult male gorilla literally charge you & slam itself again metal bars like a foot from you). Volunteering at a zoo can be interesting.

After getting shot in the chest I pushed my own intestines back in and held them there, while also having to walk downstairs and open my apartment door for the cops since my neighbors couldn't be bothered.
