The almost drowning story reminds me of when my best friend almost made us both drown. It was after a super hot day and a long skate sesh, we ended up going with friends to this small lake they knew. I was staying afloat (I'm not a good swimmer but I can swim for a bit and have fun), then my friend thinks It was all good for him to jump, but this idiot can't swim, so he just jumps into the middle of lake right behind me, and when he notices that its deeper than his hight he grabs my shoulders from my back and pushes me down so he can stay afloat. I'm caught by surprise and can't swim up because there's all his weight over me. I start swallowing water like crazy and seeing life going past me, and this fucker doesn't let me go, screaming like a little bitch "help, help". My other friends that were at the shore where laughing, thinking he was joking, they didn't knew he couldn't swim. 'Till I guess it was taking too long for him to let me go so one of my friends jumps into the water to rescue me. I finally get let go and I was able to swim to the shore. My friend that was trying to rescue my best friend slaps him because he was panicking in the water and wouldn't stop flailing his arms like a person. I'm at the shore literally throwing up all that dirty muddy wate I swallowed, and I swear I had the lake water taste on my mouth for like a 2 weeks. My friend in the other hand was fine and didn't swallowed any water all. If there was no one around I could be dead by now. Everyone was dead silent after it and was awkward as fuck. I still throw that story in his face once in while "remember that time you almost killed me" and then he pays me lunch.
