You ever get those moments where you just sit back and go ‘Holy shit that was lucky?’ Well, the people of Reddit decided to share some of their luckiest stories in life. Check ’em out below!
“I had my car stolen when I was 19. A few months later I was driving my new car from Seattle to Portland at 3am, no other traffic around, and my stolen car passed me on my left. I followed the guy for about 120 miles back to Portland. At one point he pulled beside me and waved at me, thinking we were road-rally pals! I returned a death stare. Followed him home, called the cops and got my car back.”

“Somebody knocked a glass bottle of snapple off the shelf and I had to go clean it up. I looked at the cap and it was a winner from their prize event. It was for a $500 gift card.”

“I was at a mall and heard a woman scream from the upper level. I turned around, looked up….and reflexively caught a toddler who had somehow managed to squeeze between the iron safety rails and fallen literally on top of me, a good 20-25 feet below. Perfect catch, not a scratch. I’ve replayed this in my head dozens of time and still to this day do not know how the hell I did this.”

“Surviving what should have been a fatal car crash. Before that day I never wore my seat belt. Yes I was an idiot. I left work that day for some reason just out of nowhere, I decided to put it on. 10 minutes later, somebody blew a stop sign from a side street and I T-boned them gong about 45-50 mph. It felt like I hit a brick wall. The car was totaled and I most likely would not have lived had I not put my seat belt on.”

“I was in a foreign airport, running late, and just missed the damn train – like the sliding door slammed on my foot. Had to wait 10 minutes for the next one. Got chatting to a girl. Now married for 6 years.”
