Default What is the grossest thing you have seen

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?

Hey Tooner!

How about going into the back door of a crematorium as the door is opening and the remains slide out on the tray. The mortician picked off a piece of the skull and started to comment on how wonderfully the parts fit together............................

I did NOT puke!

I once saw a dead shark hanging from a stop sign, didn't think it was gross, actually thought it was funny. I did see a guy ridding down the road polishings up the old sword, dude was swerving all the road.

One year we got 2 turkeys we had a 2nd freezer so we froze one.
For like 3 days we noticed a gargage smell,and when we clued in we realized the 2nd freezer died...it was HORRIBLE! when I opened the freezer door the smell filled the place,our 2 cats had this squinchy look on thier faces.The plastic wrap was bloated like in those old vietnam photos of casualties floating down the river,and when I picked it up it was hot!
It took 2 weeks to get rid of that smell.

I used to deliver to a funeral home, they kept signed delivery notices by the service entrance. One day they neglected to shut the door to the embalming room, and I saw a corpse on a table being prepped.
On another occasion I delivered fetal pigs in formaldehyde to a high school biology lab. One of the plastic bags had broken.

All I will say is that I let the guy keep the pen after he signed, changed pads on the clip board and had dry heaves all the way to my next stop.

I'v been a part-time deputy for 15 years, seen a lot. But the guy two years ago that decided to check himself out in the mountains, almost two weeks later of hot days & cool nights..... Somehow managed to get BOTH barrels of the shotgun in his mouth & both to fire. Just getting him out of the willow bush he'd crawled into to hide, & in the bag. Three pair of gloves still didn't feel like enough.

The "ladies" room in our building had one stall where someone kept wiping their boogers, and naturally, no one ever cleaned it up. There was a whole collection smeared on the wall.

When the water main near our hub broke, they brought in porta-potties but someone still took a dump in the men's room sink.

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 F-18 Super Hornet after it injested a deer at NAS Pax River, MD. Looked like someone stuffed a deer in a blender.

Default 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.
