To think im not made to survive

Mammyloveswine · 2022-02-22T22:47:29+00:00

I love a disaster film (dont judge me) but omg in real life id be shit..Reasons here: I cant drive so wouldnt be able to make my escape... I wear contacts so in a plane crash/boat capsize id be blind... I have zero upper body strength to cling on to a building.... And as for this... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xITzTrFFopQ i could NOT throw my kids over a roof 😱😱😱😱😱 Please reassure me im not the only one?

I would be rubbish at any kind of fi, fast and strong type survival but really really good at the hunker down, stockpile, turn everyday household stuff into random inventions that collect/clean/store water type stuff.

XenoBitch · 22/02/2022 22:53

I would be rubbish too. I would fall to pieces.
Is why I don't watch disaster movies!

CPL593H · 22/02/2022 22:58

Me too, non driving, so can't escape to gorgeous Herefordshire mansions ala original Survivors, I always quite envied them. Really dodgy sight (excuse me, are you a zombie? I can't quite...AAAARGH!) As for hanging off buildings, forget it. Ditto running.

I might make a reasonable food source, I suppose.

I feel the same about being a spy/ if I got captured ( highly likely) I would be confessing straight away. All you would have to do was ( threaten to) bend my little finger back.

Notimeforaname · 22/02/2022 23:03

I cant swim or drive. So unless I can jog to safety, I'm fucked .

Ohshitiveturnedintomymother · 22/02/2022 23:05

This is why I go to the gym, so I wouldn’t be the first one to die in the Hunger Games!

Avarua · 22/02/2022 23:06

I'm really not good if I'm hungry. Or cold. So.

CeleriacOfTheNight · 22/02/2022 23:06

I used to freeze and just wait to be caught after about 20 seconds into a game of tig. I suspect I'd be the same if zombies were chasing me.

Im glad im not the only one.. even thinking about being on "im a celeb" i think i couldnt hack it in my glasses as i couldnt do the trials but there isnt the hygiene for lenses...

I spend far too much time pondering shit like this

I’d be dead within a month as that’s as long as I can order medication for. I have no body strength whatsoever so I would not last long. If I somehow lost or broke my glasses that would cut my survival down to a day at most. I have terrible eyesight and if I couldn’t afford the glasses thinned down as I have them I’d be wearing milk bottle top glasses.

I love your honesty

Oh my friends regularly tell me I wouldn't get onto the island/into the enclosure/the keys to the mansion. I remind them I'm as funny as fuck and can make pasta from scratch. But it would definitely be touch and go.

Can’t stop laughing at this!!! 😂😂

I point blank refuse to spend my last moments sweaty and running. I'll just off myself at the first sign of apocalypse.

BrioNotBiro · 22/02/2022 23:11

Well from that video clip, I've just learned that the immensely annoying man on that sofa advert is a proper Hollywood actor, Owen Wilson!

ClumpingBambooIsALie · 22/02/2022 23:14

I saw on the safety card on the back of an aeroplane seat that I'm expected to remove my glasses before evacuating the plane.

Absolutely no way.

With glasses, my vision is fine, I can look after myself. Without my glasses, my sight is so poor that if it couldn't be corrected, I'd count as blind. Except unlike a blind person, I'm completely unused to navigating the world with low vision, nobody around me would be aware I'd need help or know how to help me, and I wouldn't know how to use that help.

MaChienEstUnDick · 22/02/2022 23:14

But is there any flour in your mansion @Mammyloveswine? I mean, if you haven't even been to Waitrose... (so doomed...)

Didn't know that and the plane staff would need to rip them off my face. Even with my glasses I'm classed as severely visually impaired in one eye. Without them the world is a blur, I'm firmly in the pair on my face and spares in my bag category of glasses wearers. Part of my apocalypse survival plan involves collecting any glasses I find so I build up a cache of half decent spares 😂

I would probably just have a panic attack, vomit and die. I wouldn’t bother running.

I used to watch the Walking Dead while running on a treadmill. Excellent motivation!

The rest of you are bait. Bwahahahahahaha.

RightOnTheEdge · 22/02/2022 23:18

Timeandtune Oh I've always thought the same about that! I'd be blabbing my whole life story before they'd finished tying me to the chair!
