A Naked Man on the Underground

I was working on the Night Tube one night when I saw a naked man running down the platform. He was screaming and waving his arms, and people were scattering out of his way.

I didn't know what to do, so I just stood there and watched. The man ran past me and jumped onto the tracks. I heard a loud bang and then the sound of screaming. I looked down and saw that the man had been hit by a train.

I was horrified. I ran down to the tracks and tried to help the man, but it was too late. He was dead.

I've never forgotten that night. It was the most traumatic thing I've ever seen.

The Porta-Potty Fire

I was working on a construction site one day when I needed to use the porta-potty. I went inside and did my business, and then I flushed the toilet.

But instead of the water going down, it started to come up. The toilet was overflowing, and the water was starting to flood the porta-potty.

I tried to stop the water, but it was too late. The porta-potty was filling up fast, and I was starting to get scared.

I tried to open the door, but it was stuck. I was trapped inside the porta-potty, and the water was rising.

I started to panic. I screamed for help, but no one could hear me. The water was getting higher and higher, and I was starting to lose hope.

Just when I thought I was going to drown, the door finally opened. A construction worker had heard my screams and come to my rescue.

I was so relieved to be out of the porta-potty, but I was also very embarrassed. I had never been so humiliated in my life.

The construction worker helped me clean up, and then he gave me a ride back to my car. I was so grateful to him for saving my life.

The Time I Got Stuck in an Elevator

I was working on a high-rise building one day when I got stuck in an elevator. I was on my way up to the 10th floor when the elevator suddenly stopped.

I was trapped inside the elevator for over an hour. It was hot and stuffy, and I was starting to get claustrophobic.

I tried to call for help, but my phone didn't have any service. I was all alone, and I didn't know what to do.

Finally, after over an hour, the elevator started moving again. I was so relieved to finally be free.

I learned a valuable lesson that day: never get in an elevator without your phone.
