Had just finished a poli sci final my first year at UGA. As I'm walking out of the PJ lecture hall, a girl across the street in front of the English department slipped off the curb and was run over by a university bus. She didn't make it. The bus driver was an unconsolable mess.

During my senior year, I saw Tom Green and Todd Phillips make out on the set of Road Trip. It was my first time thinking these Hollywood people are fricked up.

1. Saw a guy get hit by a car on a two lane street by a Tesla. Went flying and everything from his pockets flew out. Change, phone etc. Got out of my car (from the other side of the road) to help him. His eyes were darting back and forth and his pupils were as wide as saucers. Ambulance came shortly after. I never knew if he lived or died.

2. Saw a homeless woman completely keeled over with her arse facing traffic. SHITTING out of her arse. Its like she was putting on a show. I was bad nauseous the rest of the day. I still can't get that image out of my head.

I may regret telling this but many moons ago I was an independent contractor who spliced fiber for different companies, anyway, I was driving through a not so great part of town and saw a big black dog of some kind running down the sidewalk with a hot pink thong on scouts honor, I’ve never understood what was happening there but it probably wasn’t good, I did have another witness with me. Probably one of the hardest laughs I’ve had in my life but still thought poor dog. Plenty others I shouldn’t mention here.

I dropped my son off to catch his bus to school and there was a homeless man passed out standing up. His wiener was hanging out of his fly and there was a stream of piss on the ground in front of him.

Also once saw a homeless lady that had been living next to an intersection (inside a decorative british style phone booth) Go behind the phone booth and take a poop about three feet from my car.

Saw two people having sex in their car parked in front of my home. Wouldn't have noticed but it was very late and the woman's arse was hitting the horn and it was pissing me off.

When my eldest was a baby (right after Katrina) I was at the Home Depot (there is a Boudreaux's Kitchen in the parking lot) and some how got between two groups of people shooting at each other. Had to launch the baby onto the floor of the car so I could get back in and cover him. I add the details about Katrina as Houston experienced a spike in crime in the months after we took in the evacuees

And while I only saw the pictures, my teenaged son was fishing in Buffalo Bayou and pulled a dead body out. He was on local news in his fishing chair surrounded by caution tape, still fishing. He was a hero at his high school the next day.

...and I live in what is objectively a very nice part of Houston.

Did the guy happen to be wearing a helmet?

Similar story but I didn’t see it physically happen. Rolled up to a guy laying on the sidewalk in the front of our neighborhood with a group standing around him. Closer we got we figured out what happened. He came flying in, hit it the curb went flying and bike hit a fence. He had a pool of blood around his head and was grey/cold.

Terrible because he lived in our neighborhood and left behind two girls and a wife. I simply can’t understand why people ride with no helmet on. You have so much to lose. Helmet definitely would have saved his life in this case.

Absolutely the wildest thing I’ve ever seen. Apparently the emu had escaped from a farm and made its way to the Family Dollar. Some random guy decided the best way to subdue it was to attempt to kick some emu arse. The emu didn’t back down but the dude landed a body blow and it ran across the highway into a soybean field and chilled for a bit before running into the wood line. As far as I know the emu is still at large.

Tears from laughter running down my face.

My takeaway from this thread is that if you live in LA you have a high probability of seeing somebody get killed, being in or around a gun fight and/or watching homeless people doing all sorts of nasty shite.

My life has been boring.

The worst thing I’ve seen in person was the helicopter crash that killed 3 of my coworkers one of whom was my best friend.

I didn’t see the actual crash but arrived on the scene just about 5-10 minutes afterwards to see the firefighters still extinguishing the fires that consumed my friends and the aircraft.

The next worst thing I’ve been witness to was a 7 year old girl who’d been kidnapped from her home by the babysitters ex bf, she had been raped, shot in the head and left for dead out in the remote woods of north Mississippi out behind an old abandoned shed.

I’ve also seen/taken care of a 4 year old who was running up to his mom who was on a riding mower one summer morning and he slipped on the wet grass and slid beneath the mower and it filet’d his entire right leg open and almost bled to death.

Another memorable thing I’ve seen was an 8 year old girl who’d been fishing with her dad one summer day and as he cast the rod back, the hook caught in the eyeball. She ended up losing her eye to infection as it ruptured the whole globe.

I’ve seen a lot of shite during my flight nurse days.

They are incredible animals and its almost impossible to accidentally see one other than a flash as it runs away....they are experts at avoiding people and being stealthy. It was an awesome experience.

I was in a Kmart once looking for some sheets and a guy walks up and puts a blinking blue light next to me. Announcement comes on there is a blue light special in the sheet department for five minutes.

I witness a stamped of women that bested any western movie cattle stampede.

After a lifetime of riding motorcycles, I quit due to all the idiots on there “devices”. Was dangerous enough before, but device distraction put me out on motorcycling.
co-worker with a wife and 3 small kids bought a motorcycle and would drive it into work every day here in nashville on i40 from lebanon to downtown.

that stretch is bad enough in a car...so i kept sending him daily stories of motorcycle deaths on the roads..and there was literally like one a day in nashville for a solid month ..and he sold it and went back to driving a car. until i started looking i had no idea how many motorcycle deaths there were on a seemingly almost daily basis.

sorry for not adding another snuff story to this thread. i thought it would be nice to include a positive outcome.

I watched a guy hit a parked camper on I-55 going at least 70mph heading to New Orleans. I was the first car to pull up. Thought I was about to see a dead body but the baw got out or the car and looked like a zombie walking around. Myself and the guy in the truck pulling the camper went to talk to the guy and he kept saying he needed to find his phone. Truly never seen anything like that. He must have spun around 5 times after impact and survived.

I was at a friend of a friend’s house at a party. A guy I knew and who had hung out with us maybe a dozen times showed up looking distraught. My friend walked over to him and asked him what was wrong, I walked up behind my friend. The guy didn’t say a word, he just pulled out a pistol and shot himself in the head right in front of us. I got sprayed with blood. It really felt like it happened in slow motion.


Only on page one but this has to be the winner right? Wow.
