Default What "unsafe" things do you still do?

Smoke?
Eat red meat?
Eat bacon?
Drive without a seatbelt?
Drink more than two glasses of an alcoholic beverage a day?
Exceed the speed limit?
Mainline heroin?
Snort cocaine?
Engage in unprotected sex with strangers?
Call women "girls"?
The limbo?
Run with scissors?
Swim less than an hour after you eat?
Try stunts you see on TV at home?

Let's hear it. What do you do that has been declared "unsafe?"

This is going to sound odd... but sucking down Boba drinks with a straw. My wife ALWAYS has to bring up the case where the guy was sucking down Boba balls and aspirated a couple. Blocked his air passageways. Went into cardiac arrest. Died. She qualifies this by saying she is an RN.

She brings this up every time I order one of those drinks. EVERY TIME. It's getting to a paranoia point I don't order any drinks that need straws.

Boba = Communist conspiracy!

Good for you, Emil. That is great news. But quitting smoking doesn't sound very "unsafe."

I don't even know what Boba drinks are, but they sound terrifying!

Eat red meat
Eat bacon (Bacon is red meat.)
Drink more than two glasses of an alcoholic beverage a day -- occasionally (Well, maybe more that occasionally.)
Exceed the speed limit (I drive a Corvette. Give me a break.)

Run with scissors?
