I was such a play it safe person that I have to go way back to high school to think of anything risky. But it was not smart.
I had a few actual risk taking friends. They used to hitch hike to get around. I almost never did that, but three times I did. Two times nothing happened. The third time was different.
One of my friends was legally blind without her glasses, but didn't like the way she looked in glasses do she rarely wore them. One summer night the girls talked me into hitchhiking and we stood in the street. My legally blind friend suddenly stuck out her thumb. A car pulled up right away. It was a police car. My other friend and I had seen that it was a police car, but she had not.
My legally blind friend gushed,"Wow! That was fast! We must look great tonight!"
I got grounded for three months by my parents for getting pulled into the police station. There was also a ticket I remember I had to pay out of my part time work money.
That was my big risk. Never did it again, but my friends did.
I got married a second time.
That may sound like a joke...but nothing I've had actual control over has ever scared me that much. I almost backed out a dozen times.

Physically, I'm a pretty play-it-safe person. LOL!
I’m more the “marry in haste, repent in leisure” type! (not talking about my wonderful hubby now, of course! He is the greatest husband ever!)
