I'd say "Holy Shit" is appropriate here

 

 

 

Anti-shark cage? You go inside the cage? Cage goes in the water? You go in the water? Sharks in the water? Our shark?

Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies...

HOLY SHIT!!!

Definitely "holy shit!"  But that tow driver was a fucking dumbass for getting near the tires at all with that other guy getting into the car. Betting "he'll never run over me" was a bad bet.  Not sure how his head didn't get squished like a melon.  Guess the car is too small and his head was too hard?

This.  Before she backed up my thought was 'what TF are you doing under that tire?'

The life of a repo man is always intense

When I was in law school my Secured Transactions professor had worked for a repo company when he did his undergrad at Oklahoma State. The best days in class were when he would just tell stories all hour.

I’ve always been a little claustrophobic, but have managed it well until the last year. Flew all over the world, every kind of airplane, no problem. 
Last year I had my first debilitating claustrophobia attack on an airplane. Since then I’ve had 3 more, plus one on a ski lift over Christmas. It has gotten significantly worse and continues to worsen. 
I started exposure/cognitive behavioral therapy last week so I can learn to live normally again. Apparently a lot of that is going to be putting myself in situations that trigger it. That does not sound fun, but it has to be done. 
The video/discussion above is horrifying to me. But maybe in a year or so I will be able to watch it without recoiling. 

Wonder if this would help me with heights? Used to be I was very comfortable with working/being up high, in ‘91 I was working as a firefighter in OKC and basically fell through a 3 story building that was on fire, did 12 weeks in the hospital and and 6 months of recovery and went right back to it no problem at all. (/csb) In just the last 3 or 4 years I can’t even get past the 4th rung of a ladder without a crippling fear of falling and it’s getting continually worse. Putting up Christmas lights or anything similar on a single story will have me making like a leaf. I’m sure it’s probably some type of late manifestation PTSD from that incident but who knows?

Almost certainly. Find a therapist who specializes in anxiety and panic disorders. Not one that has that as part of their practice, but specializes in it. 
I have a good friend that’s a phd psychologist, university prof and practicing clinical psychologist. She helped me find the right person in ETX.  My friend tells me that anxiety and panic disorders (like my claustrophobia, and also acrophobia, agoraphobia, OCD, etc., etc.) is the one class of disorders with which her profession has the most success in treating. It’s already helped me significantly. Do it.
