Okay here is one although it is more about a disaster avoided. I had gone out with this chick a couple of times and I knew it would be nothing long term but I had no other prospects. I swear every time I talked to this chick on the phone she would go on and on about how sick her mother was, how she was worried about her, etc. So one time she was going through this and I almost said, “Well it’s not like your mom is on her last leg or anything”, and I am so glad that I didn’t. A few days later I met her mom and her mom had one of her legs amputated because of diabetes.
As cruel as it sounds, my friends laugh and I about my close call to this day.
