My most recent...
...was last week in my local Asda. A fat family (fat mum, fat dad, fat son) walking past the frozen pies when the fat son holds his hands in front of his face and sneezed loudly and violently. He then stared at his hands and, as we walked past, he proceeded to pour a handful of snot from palm to palm and back again like some kind of satanic Slinky.

some of this stuff is worse than goatse
i've seen some pretty sick stuff in my time.

rotten.com is grusome at times, yet i must have become used to the horriffic sights as some of it doesn't look real to me.

also went to a freakshow at the local agricultural show, it was just like a museum to me, it comtained freaky animals, skeletons and foetuses.

proberbly the most horriffic thing i have seen is me not being affected by sickening sights as such.

Camping poo eat piss drink
One of my chums at school was a tad dim and according to Teachers, the police and the education authority 'easily led'. Just HOW dim and easily led was graphically illustrated to me by a summertime all night fishing and general poaching session in the wilds of Bedfordshire with some of the older and more unpleasant lads from our neighbourhood.
after setting up our fishing 'camp' we decided that we'd all like some hearty open air cooked food and some beers-which we hadnt brought
Myself and my dimlo friend were dispatched to the nearest offie (2 miles away) to get the booze
Upon returning we were welcomed back by a roaring camp fire , a frying pan containing what LOOKED like sausages and several suspiciously amused looking lads
I became even more suspicious when they informed us that they had saved these sausages for us and that we should eat them before they got cold. The shape of the 'sausages' suggested something other than minced meat in a edible casing so I declined, my chum however had already tucked in and had just taken a bite when I not only saw his face grimace at its taste but also saw the sausage snap on the fork-revealing its true identity
'Thats not a sausage thats a shit' my chum managed to shout before honking his guts onto the floor. To the sound of hysterical laughter he was offered a drink of 'Lucozade' to get rid of the taste- which turned out to be the piss of the assembled cunts.
At this point I decided to go home
FUCK knows what they would have done to us during the night

..and thats why I cant come to work anymore
A while back I was chatting to a former workmate about previous jobs. His last job was on a landfill, where as you know a lot of big noisy yellow machines are used.

He quit after he saw someone climbing on a bulldozer to talk to the driver. this is not he safest thing in the world but thats why they but a metal cover over the top of the catterpillar tracks next to the cab. the man slipped and got his boot stuck in the moving catterpillar tracks.

run over by a bulldozer? no, the tracks were moving in the other direction.

before the driver could stop the machine the catterpillar treads dragged the 20 stone man through the 8inch gap beteeen the tracks and the saftey guard.

he quit. apprently the driver stayed on.

The most horrific thing I've ever heard
When I was in Year 6, my teacher told me a story which to this day is the only thing I've ever heard that has made me feel physically sick.

We were having a history lesson during which the lovely Mrs Skingley was trying to impress upon us the general awesomeness of the NHS by telling us about what it was like for poor people who got sick before free healthcare was available. In order to illustrate this, she told us a story that her grandmother had told her from when she was a child.

It was relatively common for kids in her village to get tapeworms. The standard treatment for a tapeworm is to administer drugs to kill it, and the dead worm is then passed whole in the patient's stool. Bad enough, right? Wrong! For the poor kids in Mrs Skingley's grandmother's village the standard cure was this:

1 - Get a bowl of steamed fish
2 - Get kid to stand over bowl of steamed fish with his mouth open
3 - Tapeworm smells fish. Yum yum
4 - Tapeworm crawls up out of kid's stomach towards the yummy fishy smell and comes out of his mouth

Guess what my dad cooked me for dinner that night? Tagliatelle.

Funny but horiffic this one . In 1993 i think or there abouts they ran the rally NZ as part of the world rally champs . Carlos sainz doing an estimated 200kph long straight oner a rise and smack into a sheep. Sheep explodes. Aparently at the next service area the mechanics had to pick bits of wool and mutton out of the radiators.
There is footage of this on youtube somewhere i have seen it there.
If you like exploding sheep also try THAT scene from badtaste.

Seeing an ex-girlfriend eating a bit of her own egg that she bled out of her gash. Said she did it all the time.

Female Genital Mutilation
This was something I saw on Law and Order. It was about a woman who was trying to prevent her daughter being circumcised. If you're brave, look it up on the internet to see what it involves. That girls are having their genitals butchered to they never experience sexual pleasure is horrific.

Worst, funniest, the moment I realised my humanity had gone completely...
All at the same time.
At a car crash where a car had rammed into the back of a truck, with the tray coming through the window and slicing the top of a blokes head.
I'm off to one side eating a pie waiting for the cops to give a statement of the bleeding obvious (usually something like "After a motor vehicle accident, the driver of the car received injuries oncompatible with life") when a mate, a fellow reporter comes trotting up the street.
As he nears, he puts his foot on a blob of brain that had been thrown clear, slips on his arse and lands in a puddle of blood and petrol.
Worst thing I've seen? The reflection of myself and a cop just absolutely crying with laughter at this surreal scene... all while some poor headless guy lays a few feet away.
I don't cover cop stories any more.

Re the story two below (from firemansam)...
I know that stinky perfume stuff the cops use! I've smelled it at crime scenes heaps of time (I'm a journalist) and you never EVER forget it. On a slight tangent, not the worst thing I've seen, but definitely the worst thing I've smelled is that stuff when I got in a cab once. They use it to mask the smell of a corpse so when jumped in and took a breath, I realised immediately what it was and said to the driver "Errm.. that smell... I recognise it."
He looked horrified, pulled over and said "I'm really sorry, they said nobody would be able to tell".
Still don't know who'd died or how, but I do know I set a new record for getting out of a taxi.

there can be only one
i was on the a518 between stafford and uttoxeter about 2 years ago, stuck in a traffic jam, trying to get past an RTA in which a biker had misjudged a bend and come face to face with a JCB. with the neck at bucket level.

the blood everwhere was bad enough, but the smashed up helmet leaking brain-gloop that was still lodged on the back of Jekub, well, that fair turned my old guts.


... more recently, i was about 5 vehicles behind the van driver who was decapitated by the flying armco on the M6.
all the news report said that a wheel had come off a car and gone through his window, but thats not the true story....
a wheel did come off a car, but it hit, the central barrier, which broke. it was loose barrier that went thought the window and kebabed the bloke.

Once got called to help the Police search a unit in Kings Cross,
in Sydneys red light district. Bit strange thinks I, the Police don't usually need the Fire Brigade to help them do searches in peoples homes. The reason soon became obvious though. The said unit was the home of a not so recently deceased heroin addict and prostitute, only she was still in attendance.
Now I've seen a few dead people in my twenty odd years in the Fire Brigade, and they don't usually worry me, except for the first one which scared the shit out of me. But this one had a bit of a twist. You see, the departed lady of the night, had a pet poodle, awww, cute, I hear you think, she had a good heart after all. Maybe so, but you'd be hard pressed to tell because the cute little poodle had been munching down on its deceased owner for at least two weeks. As the owner had died wearing only a pair of panties, snookems had decided that all that exposed flesh was just too good to pass up, and had proceeded to eat her face, breasts, stomach and the tops of her thighs. In fact the only way the Police at the scene could determine the sex was to look down inside the corpses knickers to see if there was any meat and two veg. But if the sight wasn't bad enough, the smell was unbelievable.
Two week old rotten corpse, stale dogshit, fresh dogshit, and some sickly perfume stuff the Police had used to try and mask the smell.
Which is why we were there, to lend the Police our breathing apparatus because you literally couldn't breath in there without spewing. I know, I tried and failed.
The bizarest thing was as they were removing what was left of the body, and discussing who was going to drop the (by now quite fat) pooch off at the RSPCA, the next door neighbour pipes up and says" Oh, he's a nice little chap, I'll have him if nobody minds". Stuffed if I know how you'd be able to sleep at night in a unit knowing that your dog had a taste for human flesh.

I recently saw a local lobster fisherman get a large fish hood caught
in his left arm, he was being a bit 'butch' and thought it would be cool to rip it out, he pulled on it and the world went red for a moment, everything was covered in his bloody as he wheeled around the boat. Finally his mate pushed him to the floor and created a makeshift tourniquet until he could get him back to shore. He went very pale for a long time, I saw the hook later - it had pulled a 'dice-sized' chunk of his arm with it.

Cute otters
I once had some friends down and we decided to pay a visit to Bristol Zoo. We wandered round, looking at all the lovely animals - the red panda, the capybaras, and then the cutest animals of all...the otters! Aw!

These must have been super-cute otters because there was a huge crowd gathered around them, they must be wearing little hats and shoes and tending their young super-cute baby otters! How nice!

We get closer and it transpires that it's feeding time for the super-cute otters!! YAY! They probably eat primroses or Angel Delight or something!

BUT NO. Otters eat whole rats. The sight of an otter, no matter how cute, as it tears a rat in half between its teeth and little paws taints their squeaky-clean image a bit. Especially when the rat-guts spill out all over the place.

Walking home
Before I foolishly Google image searched 'harlequin baby', this might've been a candidate:

One night towards the end of the year I was coming back from walking my girlfriend home. Because it was late in the year, it was understandably very dark.

On the way home I had to walk through the churchyard, which was empty, and extremely shadowy so I was always a bit nervous going through their because my town is the kind of place you go out in at night and probably won't return home.

Up ahead of me I saw something strange on the path. It took a second for my mind to work it out, and then it hit me: I was looking at a motionless person sprawled on the path. A wave of panic and terror swept through me, and I almost turned around. But I kept walking.

I felt a twat when I realised it was just some coincidentally lined up leaflets.

-edit-
Not so horrific but scared the shit out of me.

It doesn't compare to the stories on here.
But the last nasty accident I saw was today, at the Shuttleworth Collection (Think Duxford, but older 'planes).

They had a model air show, nothing spectacular (comparing to Duxford again, where they had some amazing models flying last time I went).

Some guy was trying to start his model up, and asked someone else to hold it, which he promply -didnt-
Can you guess the next bit? Man tries to start the prop turning, and SHINNG, takes a large chunk out of his finger.

FLIP! - or words to that effect. And off he strolls to the fire engine-cum first aid, at the other end of the airfield.

The rest of the family turns green, but I - and all the model owners - just shrug and carry on.

My younger brother
Was about 9 or 10 years old. He had a liking for prunes, whilst I have never liked them, thinking they smell horrible and look like shrivelled bollocks.

Nonetheless, he eats them, so more fool him.

My mum had bought one of those 1kg tubs of prunes the size of a paint can.
He decided to eat as many as he could.

"Don't eat too many," I said, "You'll get the shits really bad."

"No I won't!"

"Ok, your funeral," says mum.

Sure enough, about 30 minutes later, there are about 20 left from this huge tub.

We continue, sitting around watching tv, when all of a sudden, he sits bolt upright, screams "OHMYGOD" and runs up the stairs, clutching his arse.

He rushed into the bathroom, and hurriedly took his trousers down, heading for the toilet.

However, the jet-propelled Niagara Falls of liquid shit started coming hurriedly out BEFORE he managed to properly sit on the toilet, meaning that his arsehole was directly above the toilet seat as he started.

As such, he slipped off the seat, and spun 180 degrees, landing on his chest, whilst the shit was still fountaining out of him.

He slid across the floor, propelled by the frictionless diarrohea and the sheer force of it still coming out.

"Mum!" he yelled, "Help!"

Needless to say, we both ran to see, and found it an extremely funny and sickening sight to behold.

There was shit everywhere. He sandblasted the walls, the floor, himself, even THE CEILING, with shit.

It was sickening. Yet very funny.

Length? About an hour cleaning up.

the few unpleasantries that i've had the fortune to witness include: ripping my own thumb nail off and losing a small chunk of flesh out of it aged 8(messy + painful); seeing the downstairs of the house decorated in my dad's blood coming back from taking part in the school xmas play aged 10 (lucky enough to avoid seeing the worst of it); the state of the bandages + jock strap after having a scrotal[baw bag] probe age 20 (you walk like a cowboy for a fortnight, though you don't remember the first 12hrs that well as your high on morphine).

my first time on the message board and its been bloody & painful.

hedgehog
about 10 years ago my mother paid my idle brother to give the lawn its first mow of the year. he clipped a hedgehog with the flymo, and sliced its guts clean open. when he came to get me to have a look, the tenacious bastard was still alive. i scooped it into a box to take it to the vets, and as i picked it up, it spasmed, sending a full set of hedgehog intestines to a place decidedly the wrong side of its skin. grim.

Cat pancake anyone???
The most horrific thing I have ever seen takes me back to when I was little, I remember being in the car with my dad (can't remember were we were going, and yes I know, that's not the point!), anyhoo, we saw a cat in the middle of the road, it's bottom half had been run over and was as flat as a pancake, and I am not exaggerating, whilst the top half was as normal as you'd expect (there are a lot of dead cat stories, I know, but this I think is interesting). To make matters worse, the cat wasn't dead! yes that's right, it was still squirming for it's now not so precious life, and by this point some bloke was running onto the road with a shovel, now you are thinking that he was going to scrape it of the floor and try and save the poor bugger, but you'd be wrong again, for you see, I am from oop noof, and imparticularly, Rochdale, the birth place (among many) of little shits like scallies and so on! back to story, as the bloke ran towards the cat with a shovel he raised it into the air, and slammed it straight down onto the cat, then a few more times the crazy twunt smacked the last remaining shit out of the poor thing, it kind of reminds me of those slack jawed yokels in America who would then eat the damn thing, not very nice to say the least!

Length??? A good few feet thanks to the shovel.
