Did you avoid capture -- or not?

Have you ever been in a situation—playful or serious—where you had to avoid capture? Describe that situation. Why were you in it? What was your goal? Did you avoid capture? If not, what happened then?

There was this game I played in Camp when i was 12. We played at night 10–11ish.

There was one person in the middle of a field wearing all black and had a lightsaber xD and he had to try and get you. There were 4 teams on each corner of the field and one team had to get to a specific other team without getting seen and caught by darth vader You could only send 2 or 3 people out from each team at a time. I remember running from him and tripping over a log and i got instantly winded from it, it was weird.

But I avoided capture xD

I did not want to leave the birth canal. There was pushing and shoving. I weaved to to left, I turned to the right.
Then this guy grabbed me by my head, I lost my grip on the rope, and pulled me out.

Still trying to find my way back.

I plead the Fifth. My past is not open for public scrutiny.

@ChazMaz Good luck with that. ;-)

I’ve never been captured. I wonder if I can find someone who would do that?

Okay confession time, lets hope a swat team don’t focus their red dots on me for this~ When I was a kid we were on holiday & while in a store my brother, yeah it was all his fault officer, persuaded me to steal some chewing gum.Now me being all goody two shoes fouled up must have been the guilt on my angelic face. Basically just got out of the store when the woman who worked there came out shouting that I hadn’t paid for the gum. I ran away throwing the gum behind me. Needless to say word reached my mother & let’s just say lesson learned.So yeah I guess you’d call that capture.

Yeah, this one time when I was about 15–16, we had ‘acquired’ some nitrous oxide cylinders, and I was in the process of carrying one down the street to an ‘acquaintance’s disused warehouse, where he was throwing a party.

I saw an ambulance going down the road and, already otherwise intoxicated, I cheered at the driver and waved the cylinder in the air, thinking he would get a chuckle out of it.

He started shouting at me to ‘give it back’, and then called the police and I had to hot-potato that cylinder to a friend of mine who nearly got floored for his kindness (appeasing the authorities by handing it over), while I did a runner.

Luckily, I was wearing a lab coat, fishing hat and sunglasses, so I took them all off and stuffed them into my bag and strolled right back past the coppers and into the party!
Thankfully, we had loads more nitrous anyway.

good times =]

Does sex games count?

Kick the Can, age 10. Everyone else had already been captured by the guy who was “it”, and I was the only one still free. I was hiding behind a tree when he started to come my way, and when we were just about evenly far away from the can I broke cover, ran like hell… and kicked the can before he could tag me.

One of my proudest achievements in my life. Sigh.

@Dibley – Now who is being cheeky? :-)

Sophief's avatar

@ChazMaz I just wondered that’s all. ;-)

wundayatta's avatar

@Dibley If you feel like disclosing the details, it counts; otherwise, no.

Sophief's avatar

@wundayatta Well, nothing wrong with being caught and dragged to the bed and being tied down and f*cked like you’ve never been f*cked before.

wundayatta's avatar

@Dibley There now. Don’t you feel better?

Sophief's avatar

I have been in more than a few.I had a man reach in the window of my car and try to unlock the door to get in at a traffic light during rush hour.The light changed as he got his arm in and I took off-too bad I didn’t take off with his arm.
I have had to hide in the bushes before to get away from a couple of freaks while on my evening walks and have also had to run full blast to get away.
Being followed in my car is always an adventure in evasive driving…
I also don’t like to be suprised or touched by people I don’t know and have hit them,HARD

Thankfully,I am a* very* good shot and like German Shepherds for pets.

Well… I can’t really talk about it much (for legal reasons) but when I was an intern at a military hospital in Mexico federal agents brought in a well known drug dealer… the next day his compatriots attempted to get him out… there was a huge mess and lots of work to follow. Thankfully i came out of it unscathed.

I was captured by a red haired French-Canadian lady. Never tried to escape.

omg! i’ve avoided capture, death, and crazy ex-girfriends too many times. Onetime in particular was great. I was 16, hanging out with one of the girls in the neighbor hood and we ended up in a half buit new home and where in the process of having sex, when suddenly we were inturupted by the police. i tried to help this girl get dressed quickly, but there was no hope, she was too trendy, she had too much shit so i had to leave her. She ended up getting grounded and probablly still hates my guts to this day.

CMaz's avatar

@life_after_2012 – Who has that not happen to? lol ;-)

I’ve played tag before.
My Boy Scout troop played a game once when we visited Pismo Beach that was similar to @RAWRxRandy.‘s One kid would stand atop a dune with a flashlight guarding a coffee can with something in it. The rest of the kids would try to climb the dune and get whatever was in the can. The first kid would defend the can by shining the light on the “attackers” and saying their names, after which they’d have to go back to the bottom of the dune and try again.

@lucillelucillelucille You might consider carrying a can of oven cleaner. Better than pepper spray, since it’ll actually eat flesh.
