The other day I heard someone say that the most dangerous thing they had done for the day was to drive their car! And, thinking about it, that makes sense, considering that cars can be a real hazard. With that being said, they're also a necessity and I can't imagine anyone giving up their car anytime soon.
As for me, the most dangerous thing that I've done today is go into my kitchen. Cooking is not a past time hobby that a clumsy person should take very lightly! And, I'm very clumsy, so I have to be watchful of everything I do. I'm more likely to burn my fingertips in the kitchen than the toast. For me, the kitchen is a very dangerous place when it comes to cooking dinner.
So, what's the most dangerous thing that you've done today? Would you consider driving your car or truck to be a dangerous past time? Would your job be considered dangerous? How do you deal with these common dangers without worry?

Let's see... probably when I walked into the bathroom at 3:00 am and found that hubby had left the water turned on on our toilet which at the moment has a leak. When I walked in there, there was water all over the floor getting ready to hit the wall. I made it just in time.
So walking across a wet and slippery bathroom floor was probably the most dangerous thing I did today. :D

We had a similar leak in the front bathroom about six months ago, and I ran into the same water puddle at three am like you. It took me a half hour to figure out the tank in the back was leaking and that the actual toilet hadn't just run over!

I agree that driving is pretty dangerous. For those of usewho don't drive to work/school/wherever, taking public transit could also be considered pretty dangerous.
But my most dangerous move today was probably sort of jogging across a crosswalk when the don't walk sign was flashing. It's a pretty big intersection, so I probably didn't need to jog to avoid being hit, but it still wasn't the greatest idea. I just didn't want to have to stand and wait for a few minutes for the lights to cycle around again.

Once I did that as well, and later wondered why I hadn't just waited for the signal. I had nightmares about it for ages! Never wanna do that again. Very dangerous as you say. But you are definitely lucky.

The most dangerous thing I've done today is playing poker with somebody scouting at me.

I don't really think I did anything very dangerous today. I didn't go anywhere, so I wasn't out on the road. I hate to admit it, but my son's lunch was leftovers heated up in the microwave, and his snacks didn't involve any cooking. My husband just had left overs for dinners, so he took care of that himself. My son just wanted a peanut butter sandwich, so that's all my son and I ate, with carrots, and grapes. So I didn't cook at all today! lol
I really don't think I did anything more dangerous than walk up and down my stairs. lol That can be dangerous, just because my cat always wants to walk up and down the stairs with me!
