Solid advise. I have called 911 and not done this, but now I will.

I'm hyperventilating just thinking about it

We got a comedian over heah

If you are choking alone and can’t get help, you need to thrust under your ribcage just like performing the Heimlich on yourself. Using the back edge of a chair often works, the edge of a counter, but it must be under the ribs! trust me, speaking from experience here!

Reminds me of the x-ray shown in a documantary of a young woman with the volume k**b of the car radio in her head after her car crashed. This was in the 1950s.

Also: be a pain in the ass! Kick, scream, yell that you don’t know this person, fight like you’re life depends on it, because once they succeed in getting you secured/to another location, that may very well be it! The key is to prevent them from taking you in the first place, so always look alert and make yourself a “bad target” to acquire!

Some of these are stupid! Why would a guy take a pregnancy test? If he thinks there's an issue go see your doctor!

How long will that take?!

Not really about to get hit, but it means that lightning is really close and air is charged.

That has happened to me, but it turned out I accidentally peed in my pants.

When I was about 14, I was on a bus once in a high pickpocketing area and had my money tied around my neck in a little bag that I had tucked under my shirt. I actually felt a dude’s hand creeping under them hem of my shirt and at first I thought he was trying to grope me, but then I remembered the money pouch and realized he was probably trying to rob me instead (or as well as grope me). I alerted one of my friends with a look and then grabbed the guy’s hand before he could go too far, digging my nails into his skin so hard I drew blood as I gave him a look that warned “do it and it’ll only get worse for you.” He immediately dropped his hand back out and fled as soon as the bus stopped, and I kept my money tucked that way the rest of the trip.

Unless the exit is far away, then you die for wasting time.

Same can happen with glass bottles. Bottles are known to start forest fires as well, as people leave their trash behind when camping.

Or you can use salt instead of baking soda as well.

The same for turning off the lights. It can also ignite the gas. Flowing current isn't as dangerous.

This is really bad advice. If someone is in your house, you turn on all lights and make lots of noise to scare them off. If you confront them, chances are you will come off worse as they've a lot to lose.

This is only any use if your car has a panic button on the key fob. If you are that worried about someone breaking into your house, get a proper house alarm with a panic button by your bed. That will work better as it will sound inside the house as well as out.

I leave my purse in the kitchen, cuz maybe they'll just take it and leave vs coming into my bedroom to look for it. Better to lose my wallet and car than my life

that is if you have a car that has a car alarm.

Don't leave your keys right behind your door, thief can scan them and break into your car.

This may not help, it’s always best to just get out of the house quickly and quietly.

Seriously, how do people sleep if they think like this? My late father was what is known now as a 'doomsday prepper' and wasn't this way...

Wrong! If someone is going to break into your house, they want to in-and-out. leaving your money and car keys in an area AWAY from your rooms, particularly if you have a passage gate. This means the crimm's will take what they can and LEAVE. the LAST THING you want is to know a gun is pointed at your naked-ass in bed because they had to go all the way to your BEDROOM to search for car key or a wallet. Nope, nope, nope. put a real panic button in your room and hopefully when you hit it, they'll get spooked and flee with what they have.

But...my car doesn't have an alarm.

omg. ha aha ha what?

yes… or try with a fart

Along the same line of thinking, a lot of people like to leave their purses, keys, wallets, etc by the door as soon as they walk in. Dont do this. It makes it easier for a burglar to steal your car.

I keep something else which is more effective on my night stand

Who tf cleans their cat's litter box with bleach? Seriously!?

Y'all live in some urban legend movie?
