What is the most ridiculous thing you have ever come across?

What is the most ridiculous/horrible/horrific/shocking/surprising/disgusting/disturbing/nauseating/coolest/craziest thing you've ever come across/found/discovered by chance in person(that is NOT from the internet)?

No internet stuff AT ALL(ex: things you can't "un-see") as most of it is already widely known about.
No dead pets/relatives or walking in on or hearing your parents or a friend's parents having sex as that seems to be too common.

Me? I once walked into a local mall restroom near closing time only to find the entire walls and all the toilet stalls smothered in what appeared to be thick layers of fecal matter. Oddly enough the room did not smell at all. After staring at the scene in amazement for a few seconds, I quickly bolted fearing that the janitor, if he may return, would mistake me as the perpetrator of such a horrific act.

When I was five at a local playground I found a dead squirrel with a nail driven through it's lower jaw, hanging 4 feet from ground level on a wooden telephone pole.

About ten years ago I found a perfectly flattened pigeon on a local street. No blood, no guts, no bones sticking out, just perfectly flattened-like a pancake.

Your turn.

 

um...4chan?

 

No more than two years ago, I saw half of a dead deer on the side of the road. The front half, sliced cleanly through the waist. In a suburban residential neighborhood. The carcass was relatively well intact, so if it wasn't deliberately cut, it was the most elegant piece of roadkill I've ever seen.

 

The movie forum.

 

a toliet in a convenience store that looked like it had 3 days worth of feces in it.

obviously i did not use it and left quickly before the smell over whelmed me.

 

Certain varieties of porn. Featuring certain varieties of fetish. That's all I'll say.

Haven't been around enough, I see.

 

/d/ is what you were looking for

 

a tie between the 1980's annie movie & mary poppins.

 

My brother's former wife. I still remember the first time I saw that beast back in 98. She's about as wide as a VW Bettle and has the face of a ran over warthog.

 

I saw a man gasp his last breath after losing his battle to cancer.

 

Saw a kid in laying face down in a puddle of his own blood no idea what happened

 

I have seen an attempted suicide- shotgun to the face- and the man lived.
it looked like a pan of Jell-O someone scrambled really hard with a fork.

that was both horrible and disgusting, yet i actually got to talk to the docs about him and how he survived. so it was pretty miraculous, too. it's a mixed bag of feelings for me.

most things that i have seen that were horrible also had a fascinating side, something that never ceased to amaze me.
i guess i was lucky in that i could find an element that made me feel like i was on Mr. Wizard's World.

like "subcutaneous emphysema"... it's when air and gases escape not only through the lungs, but the skin. imagine poking an arm and it makes noises like bubble wrap is under there.
it sounds, it is really gross to think about, but to see it up close, to hear it, all ya can do is say, "holy crap that's funky." ...and you wanna keep poking...i said, "wanna", lol.

Does "The Human Centipede" count?

 

I saw a video on the internet where a man gets fucked by a horse and gets this giant dick inserted into his anus. Oh. My. God. This is so wrong in so many ways. The man was said to be dead due to this, and if you have seen the giant cock of the horse, I wonder if it got till his lungs or where the fuck did he put that? and WHY?! Why do people such a sick shit...

The bad thing is, once you have seen it, it cannot be unseen. Eyecancer is the least you'll get by seeing such sickness.

 

I saw a car crash and the guy got flung out of his car and his head got run over. I actually had to go see a psychiatrist after for a few weeks..

 

I guess I have to count myself lucky for the most horrendous thing I have seen so far is the movie "Salo, or 120 days of Sodom". That and certain scenes from Faces of Death made me wanna puke.

 

a long, long time ago when I was a boy I saw a kid fall off the back of a city bus. he was hitching a ride on the rear bumper. His head broke open like an egg it was horrible.

I grew up near the LIRR tracks in Queens in a somewhat deserted industrial area. next to the tracks there's a soccer field and the area along this strip used to be treated as a dumping ground up until it was fixed up about 10 years ago. There was any and everything you can think of being dumped there including a bullet riddled man who's hands and feet were duct taped. I didn't see him but I heard the shots. A girl I used to hang with who lived across the street saw it all from her bedroom window. they pushed him from the car all taped up, shot him and sped off. When the police arrived and saw me looking out my door they asked if I saw or heard anything. I said I heard the shots and a car screech off.. they wanted to know what direction the car screeched off to and when I said I didn't know I could tell the detective was getting frustrated. "YOU DON"T KNOW??" he yelled. Anyways, people were always dumping stuff there including the occasional human body, I remember a big bag of fish covered in maggots, the area was always littered with used condoms, empty crack vials, and dope needles. deer and other animals that were hunted then thrown away.. and a shark, that's right- a shark! it looked to be about 10 feet long (I was small, it could have been smaller) and was absolutely filthy and the most stinking, fly covered thing I've ever seen. I also once saw a homeless woman pleasuring herself on a bench in the Bronx, I was on the L train one time @ like 4am and this skinny crackhead lady down at the other end of the car puts one foot up on the seat and starts to pee.. I hastily moved to the next car. I've seen countless perverts exposing their wangs on the train. Skinned animals left in empty lots by satanists, I can go on and on and on about gross & disturbing things I've seen in this here big city but I think the above is quite enough!

 

Back when I was working in Woolworths, I noticed someone had just dumped a dirty nappy on the floor near a chocolate display. Promptly removed it though.

 

Agreed.

 

Tfw2005. This place has just mentally scarred me.  



Seriously, I would say from my first job at Burger King. I came in on my first day and my supervisor told me to grab a scraper and head out back with him. He took me to this red dumpster covered with this yellow gunk and it smelled pretty bad.

I looked at him and asked, "what is that smell?"

"Oh, that's the grease from the fries. I need you to scrape the grease off the outside and throw it into the dumpster."

So, I set about my task. It wasn't that bad until I had to open the dumpster's lid to throw my scraper's worth of grease into it. I made the horrible mistake of inhaling when the lid was open. I damn near lost my lunch right then and there. The smell was indescribable due to it being so awful. Ever since then and what else I saw at that job, I simply cannot eat at a fast food restaurant without feeling nauseous.

 

Probably the immediate aftermath of a suicide at the railway station when I was passing through one morning going to work - saw a local train with a sheet over the front cab, blood spattered over the platform and people bagging up body parts. Was a man with a history of mental problems who had decided to throw himself in front of a passing train. Messy.
