Stupid Contrived Survival Stories

[u/MammothPenguin69]

1. 12 Feet Deep - Two idiots decide they absolutely positively MUST go swimming in a pool after it's closed. An incredibly contrived sequence of events happens so they get stuck in a pool. So the movie can happen.

2. Frozen (not that one) - Three idiots decide they absolutely positively MUST get on a ski-lift after it's closed. To the point of bribing the operator who for some stupid reason doesn't say anything. Do the movie can happen. Also, Wolves are not that aggressive. They are typically shy and avoid humans.

3. 47 Meters Down- Arguably the most believable scenario on this list. It's still really stupid.

4. Fall- Two idiots decide to climb an abandoned radio tower without proper equipment that would make escaping their predicament trivially easy. Stop me if you've heard this one before

so the movie can happen.

lol this also happened to my dad. He was painting the bottom of a pool and accidentally painted himself into the deep end. The paint was too slick for him to walk out so he had to army crawl out because the ladders were too high for him to reach. His clothes and the fresh paint were ruined

I would have had someone toss me a beer and stood there until the paint dried.

The best part is that one of his friends happened to come by right as he was getting out. If he had just waited like five minutes, someone could’ve easily helped him out 😂
