It would depend probably on the circumstances, I wouldn't let someone arrest me and/or kill me just to avoid hiding in a coffin, but I would definitely have a bad time. And I would probably need plenty of beer and some therapy to recover...

For NOW I can't hide in a coffin. I emphasized "now" because life is too volatile to be absolutely certain of tomorrow. There could be change on perception and level of awareness that can remove whatever is restraining us at the moment.

I would never under any circumstance hide in a coffin even if it was a new one. I am extremely claustrophobic and probably might die from hiding in it.🤣

That’s so creepy😂, but there are things that need to be done so that we can save our lives. If this can save my life, no matter how creepy and bad it sounds, I guess I have no choice.

I think it would be quite creepy and uncomfortable so I would not be keen! But if it was life or death then absolutely, I would hide "almost" anywhere if it was to live. That is, as long as there was no chance of accidently being buried (my biggest fear!).

No I don’t think I could hide in a coffin since I’m a bit claustrophobic. However, if my life truly depended on it I don’t what I would do.

Coffins are only boxes. I have no trouble at all hiding in a coffin as long as I know I won't be buried alive. However, the limited area can be an issue. I find it difficult to remain still for an extended period of time.

I would hide in a coffin for sure. Preferably unused and not in or near a ready, empty grave. But even that is negotiable when it is life and death. The desire to live is an excellent motivator.

Sure, I could. If there was anywhere else to go, I would try that first, of course. Just think of it this way: If no one thinks that you would hide there, are they really going to look?

That would be a hard pass for me. Especially when they screwed the lid on. I got anxiety just reading that part of the book.

Of course. I will hide in a coffin if necessary, you would also be comfortable because I understand that inside they are lined with soft fabrics, right?

If I was probably paid a million dollars then I think I could stay in a coffin for a particular period of time. If not, I don't think so.

If you think about it, a coffin is just a large wooden box. You could just lie there and wait for the danger to pass if you're hiding from someone. But I'm claustrophobic, so I think I would panic and use up all my oxygen. The fear of not being able to move or get up or do anything would completely overwhelm me and I think I would die of fright than of anything else so I would not choose to hide in a coffin under almost any circumstance.
