Decided to go to subway instead of dairy queen. They were across the street from each other and I was passing through town during lunch time. Ended up hitting it off with the woman making my sandwich. Next week is our 11 year anniversary.

Walked away from a condo purchase the night before closing. Building got hit with a $40K assessment six months later. Best gut decision I ever made.

I decided to keep driving- probably saved my life.
One night I drove home from working evening shift (like 2 miles) and when I glanced in the rear view I had chills when I saw the headlights behind me at a red light. I got to my house and was about to park but then heard a voice in my head tell me to keep driving, so I did.
Turned down a back ally (I lived inner city) and the car followed me. Took another right turn so I’m now going back in a circle and they continued to follow me.
Called my dad to stay on the phone as I drove to a police station. Car stopped following when a cop car pulled up behind us (coincidentally).
Next morning read about an armed carjacking in the area about an hour later.

Said yes to adopting a stray dog that followed me home. 10-second ‘sure why not’ moment—now he’s my best buddy for 8 years. Little decisions hit different sometimes haha.

11 years ago, my friend drunkenly asked me to marry her. I said yes, and we’ve been happily married for almost 9 years.

I had a green light, but I decided to spend 5 seconds changing the radio station before hitting the gas. As I finally started to move, a car flying at 80-90mph blew through the red light right in front of me.

Made it 11 days ago! Driving home, rush hour- is that a cat in that drainage ditch? It looked kind of small, is it a kitten? …it gets really cold at night right now…. Fuck, I gotta turn around and get it.
