My wife and I used to live in a apartment above a store downtown on the square. It had a backdoor where you could go outside and stand on the roof above the back half of the store. One night we woke up and two guys were trying to kick and push the door open around 2 in the morning. The door was in the bedroom. Scared the **** out of us! They climbed to the roof somehow and couldn't get off and were looking for a way down because they were........WASTED. We actually started laughing because they didn't notice the police climbed up also and had there laser sights pointed on the guys. They were around 26 and 30 on a weekday. Just smashed. It got even funnier when they started crying and the firetruck had to come get them off. It was totally scary. Probably would have shot them if they got in. But once the police got there and pointed their guns on them and they started crying it was pretty funny. It did take a few weeks to feel safe again though because getting woken up in the middle of the night to people trying to get in your place is not cool.

Up north
One night when I was driving my grandma home, I nearly hit a herd of cows that had gotten loose in the road. I was also falling asleep at the wheel and maneuvered just in time to avoid the accident.

When I was little and watched Aliens for the first time. I don't think I slept that entire night

was showing a house in windsor heights with a young female client. found out before i showed the house that an elderly man died in the house a couple months before. (floors on the main level were wood floors, kitchen cabinets were the old metal cabinets from the 60's). we went down in the basement and heard walking above us on the wood floors. just assumed another realtor walked in. then all of a sudden someone slammed one of the cabinet doors. me and my client both ran upstairs to see what was going on. all of a sudden I felt a cold breeze(over 80 degrees outside)rush through me and actually push my client down. then we both heard a voice, clear as day, say get out. i think i ****** my pants a little, i know she did.

You serious, Clark?! Sounds like an episode of the Ghost Whisperer. Just kidding, stories like that freak me out!

Should probably work on your sales tactics a little bit.

Driving home to Iowa from Texas last year 2 days before Christmas just outside of Purcell, OK I watched a car in front of me hit the inside shoulder on I-35 doing ~70mph then whip around into the ditch. He ended upside down in these:

Ever find yourself wasted... in a car with 3 Mexicans that don't speak English (and you barely speak Spanish)... at 4 AM, in a Kansas City ghetto... surrounded by crack dealers with guns?

That was probably the scaredest I've ever been. Either that or the time somebody pointed a gun at my face, but that time I was only scared for a few seconds.
