What is the grossest thing you have seen

[FromBluetoBrown]

I was on the USS Enterprise working on the flight deck and we had a young sailor who had about two months in the Navy. Well he forgot to "keep his head on a swivel" and walked right into the spinning propeller blades of an aircraft. Another time I saw an intake for an friend-18 Super Hornet after it injested a deer at NAS Pax River, MD. Looked like someone stuffed a deer in a blender.

Re: Maybe not grotesque, but....

....I guess just the saddest thing.

I was a small town EMT for several years during HS and college. We once responded to a call of a suicide. The guy had run his car in his garage to kill himself. We found him against the garage door, and all I could imagine was him smoking his last cigarette watching the world go by out the window untill he dropped.

Another time a young girl called who had taken a bottle of sleeping pills, and then changed her mind about wanting to die. What a ride to the hospital! Better step it up, I kept yelling to the driver. She made it.

Another one was responding to the high school dance one night. "Girl in distress" the call said. She certainly was! She was unconsious in the girls room. She had drank a quart of whiskey, a pint of tequilla, the list went on! 15 or 16 years old. NOT a pretty picture, that ride. She made it too.

One time, we're going up to Hampton for the week. We're just about to go, I'm actually walking over to turn my FD pager off..... and a call comes in. Car full of kids trapped in a car that went into a lake. The lakes near my house, so I tell Mom I'll catch up with them later. All the kids got out safely.
OK, now it's later. I've made it to Hampton, and I'm walking down the strip with my cousins about midnight. I just got there! Anyhow, this girl stumbles out of an alley and falls to the ground. Group of people gather around and look at her. I check her, no breathing, no pulse. Start CPR. Somebody finally joins in to help me. Good! Two person CPR is much easier. Cops and ambulance show up real fast, always lots of cops up there. Never found out the rest of that story.

I think I've blocked out the most grotesque. A motorcycle accident does come to mind. Those are never good. Drownings are grotesque too, that's an awful way to go.

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread.

I think seeing someone hit by a car is pretty shocking. The term, rag doll, fits perfectly. It replays in your head, over & over, for awhile.....like it wasn't real.

A customer of mine blew her brains out in an alley by the back door of one of my stops (the delivery point). I didn't see her, but I saw the aftermath. There are things you can't "unsee".

I also saw a fat guy "punchin' the munchkin" through his front window watching gay porn. I dropped the package and ran like hell!!!

My my, what a great thread to read while eating my breakfast hehe!

The other day I was making a delivery to a residence. The woman who answered the door was quite overweight and was wearing a v-neck top wherein the "v" went all the way down to her belly button. Man, each of her pancake breasts must've weighed 50 pounds each, and all over said breasts and her chest were festering, dripping sores oozing pus and god knows what else.

Gag!

Had to take town street off Interstate one morn cuz of crash shutting it down. Driving with a set of doubles thru town behind another truck. Sidewalk was right next to street with no right-of-way grass in between. Guy with cane was kinda hobbling down street when truck in front musta threw him off or vacuum from trailer or something pulled him off sidewalk and got run over by trailer wheels.

I had to stop right in front of flattened torso while other truck proceeded about another block before he knew what happened. Everything from head to waist was flat.

If there could be a lighter side to this, the witnesses reported to the media that a UPS truck run this guy over! I ain't never seen so many UPS ties gathered in one spot in all my life in a matter of seconds! Course, area was cordoned off and nobody was allowed near it while I was questioned by police as a first-hand witness. Ties were chomping at the bit to get to me and the set of doubles. Cops were going to arrest one of em for interference he was so persistant! Finally they let one in to drive it off and let one of em drive me home.

One morning while heading to work I decided to take the back roads (country). It was about 5:30 in the morning and barely sunrise at that point. Up ahead I saw something lying in the middle of the road but couldn't quite make it out. As I got closer it was a cow that somehow got over a fence and got hit by a car or truck. By that time the morning got brighter and all I saw was this red lake (blood). Someone must have had major damage to their vehicle because this animal was literally in pieces. What a gross sight!

Not as bad as many of other's stories, but the cat that ran under a dump truck in front of me and did two revolutions in the duals and came out running but skinned was notable.

There's more than one way to skin a cat

I spent a year in Sicily when I was in the Air Force and was tasked to perform perimeter security at a C-141 crash site. Perimeter security basically means to keep nosy people away so that the investigators could do their job. Well, the crash was so intense that the investigators were basically reduced to looking for body parts to help identify the victims.

I thought I was going to stay out of this, but I just can't.
A very large woman ( easy 400lb++) who sits on her porch everyday in a "ratted -out" (southern talk) recliner.
I have a COD for her.
She calmly raises her dress and (literally) pulled out (from you can guess where) a roll of dollar bills and hands me the money.
She saw my shock and the way I turned my eyes away and in a soft grandmother voice said to me, "there's a lot of hoodlums around here, but they ain't gonna get my money."

As my original post stated;

Do you really want to go there?
What I have seen, smelled and felt as a UPS driver makes me want to forget what I might face tomorrow.

I may be full of it, but I learned several decades ago, not to lie.
The worst part is that this is not the grossest thing I have seen in my life.

 

[satellitedriver]

And not necessarily on area.
Tonight I saw things hanging from the power line. I usually just see shoes rapped over them, and I always think someones mom and dad will be really p'od. But it was the strangest thing so I just had to go look. And it was 3 Rats, and Im not talking mice, Im talking big fat rats, all hung, and stung together hanging down at eye level of any passing vehicle.
I avoided it quickly at first thinking it was a limb, duh, then after I made the delivery, I just had to go look............It truned my stomache
#1 it was frightening
2# thinking someone had to do that,
and what could be wrong with someone touching them and doing that,
And where the heck are Rats that big?

It is weird, to me, how weird things can happen around the country at the same time.
I was mowing my front fence line today and saw something hanging from the cable line.
30ft in the air someone hung this;(I hope it attaches)
One of my buds must have done this. How they did it, I don't know.
No tire tracks in the grass, 10ft away from the nearest utility pole.
Better to have a "voodoo" Rambo doll hanging on the front fence line, than dead rats.
I kinda like it, it fits me.

Was friends with a tow truck driver for a lot of years, and got to see the aftermath of human skull vs road sign at 65 mph. Gives new meaning to the phrase flattop if you know what i mean. Also got to deal with the preserving evidence after a sexual assault in a vehicle, in other words seeing various bodily fluids and different hairs on leather seats and not touching anything so as to not contaminate the scene while trying to shift car into neutral with no keys.

Ever have to change a baby's diaper where they got their poop all over the place? How could so much crap come out of one tiny baby? Einstein must have written a theorem somewhere. The baby, covered in poop, will always look up at you as if to say, See What I did?That would be my cue to make a hasty exit and send in the wife. I was the going to pull a practical joke on my wife once. I was going to cover the lower half of one of my daughters with Hershey's syrup and pull my grossed out husband routine. I had second thoughts and chickened out. That's why I am alive to share this with you today.
