Most disturbing thing you've ever seen or witnessed?

This still haunts me. And I've only ever told a few people.
The night my daughter died, I didn't hear her breathing. I went over to where she was sleeping and touched her arm. She let out a huge breath, and that was it. I guess it was her last breath. I don't know if I will ever get over it.

Mine is seeing my brother die from a massive heart attack on my dad's birthday.

Nothing like seeing someone you love, who brought nothing but peace & light & love to your life in a casket. Eyes and mouth sewn shut, bloated, a weird color. A good man who would give the shirt off of his back for anyone. He was a great big brother and it's never gotten easier to be here on Earth without him. He's the first person I think of when I get up, and 13 FUCKING YEARS later, I still cry at night because he's gone.

But one cool thing~I gave birth to my baby boy on what would have been his 50th birthday. So we have other things to celebrate on his birthday and on the day he died. It helps in some strange way.

God mindi, I couldn't imagine losing one of my babies. I don't even have words for that. So sorry.

Saw a guy pass out and hit the concrete after taking a hit of nitrus oxide. He hit his head pretty hard.

He was probably trying to kill himself if he was at a Creed concert.

The strangest thing I've ever seen was a prostitute fighting her pimp in the middle of the street. I lived in Jersey City and was walking to the laundromat, and I just see these two duking it out with cars swerving around them. Probably the strangest (and funniest) thing I've ever seen.

One thing that kind of shook me was entirely different, though. I didn't see him get shot, but I heard the gunshot a couple of floors above me, and once the cops/ambulance/etc showed up, I watched the victim get wheeled out on a stretcher to the ambulance. It turned out his boyfriend had shot him in the head with a shotgun, but somehow they guy was lucky enough to live, because only a few of the pellets even hit him and they didn't penetrate too deeply. It was still pretty disturbing though.

As for real-life... nothing really comes to mind.

There are 2 movies, though, that screwed me up for days!

Gladiator Days - Anatomy of a Prison Murder
Last House on The Left-BOTH versions

I believe all can be watched online-consider yourself warned!

When I was in my 20's I worked at Gottschalks, which was like a Macy's but on the west coast. I was stocking one of the departments and I saw this big woman running full steam through the department, leaving a trail of liquid poo behind her. She screamed, "Where's the bathroom!?" at a few of the employees and was pointed to the bathrooms in the lobby. Apparently her colostomy bag had burst. I spent two hours cleaning up the raunchiest smelling liquid poo from the floors and carpets. I still don't know if they got the stains out.

I witnessed a shooting once.

When I was 21 or so, I was home from college visiting my parents. I grew up in South Dallas, which is kind of bad neighborhood. Anyway, my best friend at the time lived next door and one night around midnight or so I went over to visit and we sat out on the front porch smoking (we used to do that all the time when I lived there).

His house was on a corner street, next to a major intersection. Its about 50 feet or so from the intersection. Well, this car pulled up and stopped at the light. A minute or so later a pickup truck pulled up beside the car. A guy popped up from the bed of the truck with a gun and unloaded on the guy in the car. It was some sort of semi-auto handgun and he fired probably 8 or 9 shots. The truck then screeched off. The guy that was shot managed to open his car door and spill out onto the street.

Jeremy (his real name!) and I ran out to the car (after being sure the truck was gone). The guy was still alive. The window was shattered and there were bullet holes in the door. He had been hit in the upper arm and shoulder, leg, left torso and I distinctly remember an entry and exit wound at his elbow. He was bleeding everywhere of course and we had one of those moments you only see in the movies. He was crying that he was going to die. Jeremy called 911 while I held the dude's hand. We told him he was fine, he wasn't going to die and that help was on the way. He just kept crying and saying he was going to die.

Luckily, we lived pretty close to a police station and an off-duty cop was on the way into work and drove right by us not 2 minutes after the incident so he stopped and took over. Then came the ambulance, fire truck, more cops, etc.

The guy did live, but was hospitalized for a while. Turns out he was dating the shooter's sister and had somehow "dissed her" according to the Dallas detectives that showed up the next day to interview us, so the shooter was out to get him back for whatever it was. My friend and I were to be witnesses at the trial but it never got that far. The shooter and the driver of the truck and a couple of guys with them were all arrested and they were going to testify against him so he plea bargained down to something and we never went to a trial.

Pretty crazy, no?


@mindi - Wow, I cannot imagine that. I have kids and of course that is every parent's worst nightmare. So sorry to read that.

I turned a corner in Paris to the immediate aftermath of something similar. This guy lying there with his head in a pool of blood and stuff very obviously broken and he was quite dead. That was pretty disturbing alright :oops:

Without question, the most disturbing thing I have EVER witnessed was the Kathy Bates' nude scene in About Schmidt. They should have had fucking warnings posted on the DVD cover!!!

Blah! :evil: :evil: :wtf: :wtf: :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

gunshot wound to the head

I was interning in an ER and a man that shot himself in the head came in
shot himself in the mouth, but the bullet ricocheted off the back of his skull and out his eye
not pretty

over 25 years ago and I still remember it vividly

that and I was once flashed-when I was 10
walking home with the babysitter when some dude jumped out the bushes and flashed us

Being 12 years old...
watching a pick-up truck obliterate the most wonderful woman on earth, right in front of me.

The driver had his window down... pieces of her skin and blood were on his face and left arm.
Disturbing doesn't quite cut it.

My Mom's Favorite!



I've been alive forever
And I wrote the very first song
I put the words and the melodies together
I am music
And I write the songs

[Chorus:]
I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs

My home lies deep within you
And I've got my own place in your soul
Now when I look out through your eyes
I'm young again, even tho' I'm very old

I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs

Oh, my music makes you dance and gives you spirit to take a chance
And I wrote some rock 'n roll so you can move
Music fills your heart, well that's a real find place to start
It's from me, it's for you
It's from you, it's for me
It's a worldwide symphony

I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs

I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs

I am music and I write the songs

I saw a biker being dragged under an SUV. Took me a minute for my brain to figure out what I was actually seeing. I the was first pulled over and they were in the middle of an intersection. The driver was hysterical and the biker was crying and moaning, then he just stopped.
There wasn't much blood, but the sounds were terrible.
