Sup ka! hope all is well. This is a nice thread and really helpful.
So I thought I take up on your offer and give an example or 2 on a copule stories and have you dhv it up for me
Story #1 (about how I crashed my car and learned a lesson)
It was a sunday morning. Me and my friend were going to wake up early to meet up with a dozen other guys to roll down to a car meet. I woke up early around 7 am and drove down to my friends house to wake him up since he wasnt answering. As soon as I got to his house he was pulling out of his drive way. We were late. My friend ept driving fast in the freeway going over 110+. I called him to have him slow down since I didnt want anythin to happen to both of us for just a stupid meet. One hing let to another a Truck pulled afront of me out of no where with out a signal and me going 110+ could only dodge it. As soon as I tried going to the next ane to avoid the truck, the back of my car gave out and there I went into the senter devider and did another 360 and hit the wall again finlay stopping in the middle of the freeway. During those few second all that was going through my mind was OMG my parents are going to kill me! And i remember yelling NO DONT HIT TURN!! i couldnt brake or else the car would have flipped going that fast so All I did was to steer it! I came out the accident with no injuries at all thanks to the 5 star crash rating my car had! I promised myself from now then that no matter what I wouldn not drive that fast again unless in a closed circuit!
damn this came out longer then i thought!! so in the story i want to show that, I am on time, I know how to handle a car or else i would of been dead, and learned a big lesson, have freinds, out going!
I will be teeling this story when they ask what is the crazest thing that has ever happened to you!
Nice thing about stories like this is everyone has one like it, so you share a commonality with the person your telling it to. What makes the story intresting instead of boreing is how you tell it. You didnt do to bad, you did some good things, told it in chronological order and also shared some emotions...however we might be able to improve on it.
MY Version:
"I just cant stand being late, that reminds me of this one morning going with like a dozen of my buddies to a car show. We all had nice cars, but we had to be there way early. So we had to up at like 7 in the morning and woke up a bit late, it was just one of those mornings were since you gotta be somewhere on time everything is going wrong.
So my buddies driving ahead of us on the freeway and is busting like over 100 mph, im trying to call him to get him to slow down because i figure going to the show in wrecked cars, or worse not making it, isnt worth the rush even though its killing me that we are late.
Well i couldnt get him on the phone and lo and behold this truck merges in front of me and cuts me off....ima smash into him if i dont swerve so i swerve over, and thats when everything goes slo mo. Its funny because right then the back of my car starts sliding and then im spinning and all i am thinking in my head is, "MY PARENTS ARE GONNA KILL ME!" So after what seemed like hours my car came to a stop...against the railing and thank god it was 5 star crash rated.
I came out fine and no one was hurt, but i learned an important lesson that night aside from driving responsibly....and thats listen to the lil voice in your head telling you not to do dumb shit."
Theres lots of things you could use to tie into this story, ask a leading question like, "You guys ever been in an accident?" or "Are you guys morning people or evening people?" or "Are you guys like always on time or always running late somewhere?"
You can use it to tie into the accident, to tie into the fact you were wakeing up early even though you arent a morning person, or tie into the fact that you dont like being late.
Also if you used the "you look like trouble and you look like the nice one" or any variation of that before your story, you can tie back to it at the end as a false disqualifier...
"....and thats listen to the lil voice in your head telling you not to do dumb shit.
You know kinda like how it tells me to stay away from girls who are trouble.

"
Hope this helps.
