Saw a lad lick a urinal that I had just pissed in so he could win a bet. Karma Nightclub has never looked the same since.

I found a suicide note on a tree in a park in Dublin a few days before Christmas in 2012. It wasn't addressed to anyone in particular, and it was just signed with a first name. I didn't know what to do, I just read it silently to myself as did my girlfriend and we walked away. Always, always something I will remember.

Another one worth mentioning. I saw an obese father, with his equally obese son in burger King adding packets of sugar to their large soft drinks. The kid was no more than 12 years old. This is something that sticks in my mind, the poor kid probably hasn't got a clue what he is doing to himself.

Being in A&E in Beaumont Hospital on a Friday night 5 years back after trying to do myself in when a group of goons came in from Barcode with two of them in a bad way faces had been kicked in, loads of blood, 40 minutes later the guys they had been fighting with turned up to restart the fight, I got admitted just as it was going on so never found out what happened but was some scary ****.

youtube!

I was doing a bit of maintenance work in Pats hospital many years ago and didn't realise the room I was working in was actually right beside the room they used for electric shock treatment, I heard a kind of a tortured mumble and looked through these glass doors to see a woman's head violently shake as she tried to scream, her mouth had something in it to stop the noise but I still heard it. Also was working in the same hospital a few weeks later and had to replace some filters in an air con unit, I walked in to find it was in the mortuary...body on slab, covered up thankfully.

A mate went through class door and opened his wrist.....blood everywhere, thought he would die, thank God he did not.

Went through a class door myself once too. Ended up in a classroom....

On a Dart, ready to step out the doors - and they open right in front of a person lying in an alcove, blue, eyes open with a pool of blood around his head.

Not sure what happened, but in retrospect, think he might have jumped from the pedestrian bridge crossing the platform.

Wonder who he was or if he was missed - you see "R.I.P. Crept" graffiti on the platform beside where this happened, but (after Googling a bit) that's definitely unrelated, for someone much younger than he was.

My mum was run over by a guy when she was going to mass.

The sound of a life support machine. That awful machine breathing for someone their lungs filling with air, up and down, up and down, Good jeasus, it's horrible.. Fuk, I hope I never hear that again.
My son, out of nowhere asked in all honestly, could I leave my mobile phone in the coffin so granny could call him, nearly lost it at that.

So sorry to hear that Fallschirmjager.

I think my worst was a motorcyclist who got in an accident on Dame Street. I don't know what happened, but as I walked by, I could hear his moans, and I've never forgotten that sound.

What made it even more horrible was the crowd around staring and chatting excitedly like it was some kind of show. The guards and the ambulance were already there, but I actually saw a woman pushing her child forward so that she could get a better look. I don't understand some people.

Oh my god, people are vultures. I don't understand how people can witness an accident or an emergency in the streets and not do anything except watch or take snapshots.

The look of disappointment on my friends face as he opened a promising ground safe to discover mere jam jars.

Around the year 2000/01 this weird English fella appeared around the small town in county Limerick where i live. He would nurse a glass of coke for the night and myself and my brother spoke to him a few times. Just small talk..
I remember him being very vague about what brought him to Ireland or where he was staying etc

Odd as two left shoes he was.

Months later he was all over the news.

Myself and my brother are 99% sure to this day it was Richard Reid the shoebomber..

He stayed around for 2 or 3 weeks then he disappeared.

A strange fish but never gave any hints about what he was involved in.

Not necessarily. Just something along the lines of "what's your favourite colour. My favourite colour is blue", or something. I'd hope a thread opener would take a bit of interest in their own thread.

Sorry, I was referring to the OP wanting serious replies and then only having a funny reply themselves

On topic, I've worked in a hospital and seen some pretty crazy **** but nothing I want to share for other's amusement.

A man eating his own head.

Second time I used this post recently.

On Friday I was at the outside at the back of the hospital in Galway with a friend and saw a man bend down and take a sh1t in the corner and wipe his arse with all the weeds and leaves around him. He looked normal enough too. Disturbing.

I saw a mother beating a child on the street as I was waiting for a bus. The poor kid cried and cried and the most upsetting thing was nobody did anything. Awful.

Including yourself. I saw a woman do this in a chipper once, the lady in front of me told her if she raised her hand to the boy again, it would be the last thing she would do. It stopped right there.

I was working in the UCD science block on the refurb of the cafe there, I think it's called elements.
Came back to work after a long weekend and found a lad about 18 hanging in the utility tunnels under the block.

Turned out he'd crashed the fathers car on the Friday evening and being uninsured this was his way out of trouble.

That brings back memory's for me as a child when at my nan and grandads farm if there was ever any pups from the several sheep dogs they would gather them all up and put in a bucket, fill it with water, then put a board over bucket and slab,

I still to this day wonder what the hell went through all their minds letting kids watch crying as they went about this .
