Most depressing scene

KingOfFairview · 24-07-2013 07:58PM #1

I once witnessed a gay mate of mine smoking in his boxers while hungover with the shipping forecast on the radio in the background while he told me he hated Fibber's but he was definitely going next Friday. Beat that for miserable.

A world without commas.

So he could afford booze, fags and underwear?!? Misery sounds like the lap of luxury to me!

Probably, but it was in about 1997 so I wouldn;t worry about it

I once witnessed a guy neglect his child while witnessing his dad smoking in his boxers while hungover with the shipping forecast on the radio in the background while he told me he hated Fibber's but he was definitely going next Friday.

I saw a woman who had just fallen face first on a footpath in London run around collecting her teeth with her friend.

I once worked in a fabric shop. Nothing beats that for downright brain numbing depression.

Literally run, or scramble? Important distinction

Saw a seagull lifting a half eaten burger of the street in Wallsend in North-East England, it was too big for it and it dropped half of it. A clean shaven man dressed in a suit, who was watching the whole thing from a bench, casually walked over, picked up the bit the seagull dropped, and started eating it.

I once worked in a abattoir. A place where farmers would bring their kids. The panic from the sheep was one thing, the screams from the children when they realised their pet lambs were dead, creatures they helped feed after their mothers rejected them, was another!

An old fella were I worked was sitting down having a chat, he jumped up, muttered something and took two steps before pissing himself. A depressing sight and a timely reminder that your own body can really let you down in later life.

I was walking past the Elysian Tower in Cork about eighteen months ago, on the way to Careys to pick up a couple of C-spanners. I saw a great big strapping boy in his early twenties or so, unshaven and dirty, huddled up in a raggedy sleeping bag in one of the doorways of this mighty edifice, his few earthly belongings clustered around him. I nearly fucken cried. "Forbear that wicked cant until you have discovered What the surplus is, and Where it is..."

I had just spent the weekend camping and had been dropped of at my appartment block The Elysian in dirty clothes and sleeping bag and a few other bits and bobs when I realised I had no key to get in and the OH was in work in the public service.
I was so drunk I just lay down on a doorstep and watched people go by looking down pityfully saying all sorts of meaningful stuff.
An hour later the OH pulled up in our Merc SLK AMG convertable and I hopped in to the amazement of some.

I saw a man go from 100% sobriety to the recovery position in 45 minutes after necking most of a pint of absinthe to 'play catch up' after arriving late at a festival.

You could actually see his condition deteriorate before your eyes. We called first aid. And stuck the absinthe label in his pocket.

I feel you're pain, I took a job in a fabric shop and it was like waiting for death. I lasted less than a week.

This is the most darkest scene.

Many years ago I was on the footpath on a Main Street in D 2 when a large car pulled up to the lights.
The was a lady driver and her mother passenger.
The lady came to the passenger side and opened the door only to find her mother had passed away.
She was shouting and a women came out of an office tried to clam her.
Mean while some scoby gets in the car to move off the road.
So there's me holding a dead women to stop her falling over while scoby is driving the car onto the path

Mariasofia · 24-07-2013 09:25PM

Have you seen the old man who walks the streets of London....dirt in his hair and his clothes in rags

yermandan · 24-07-2013 09:31PM

Fcukin hell, was lolling for the first few posts.

Boy did this de-escalate quickly

Pace2008 · 24-07-2013 09:31PM

Saw two Gardai at a festival standing over a complete mangler who was so out of his biccy that he was merrily swinging around a 7-foot tentpole stuffed down his foreskin. When the cops realised that their presence was not doing anything to deter his actions, they shook their heads sadly and walked away.

A real scoby would have robbed that car.
