The story about the wife who lost her husband and kids because of missile because of Syrian war, a reminder that you can be happy when your family go home from the war. But for some, home IS the battlefield and they can't always leave.
War fucking sucks, man. I'm no peace loving hippie but some of the wars we've fought as humans have been so unbelievably pointless. Nothing is sacred anymore
Me imagine Soldier 1 : target hit. Soldier 2 : great. Let em pay for it Soldier 3 : umm.... captain..... Soldier 2 : idc. One word. Soldier 3 : sir, u shoot a civilians sir. They are unarmed. Soldiet 2 : idc. They all enemies for me. Soldier 1 & 3 : *fcking wtf is he thinking? I hope dose civilian survived and well*
My life ended on December 10th when police showed up at my door to tell me my 13 year old had committed suicide at their fathers house that morning. Everytime I see police now I freeze and begin to cry... I'm pretty sure there are several police officers who now think I'm insane
I remember hearing on the news one day that a woman went for a jog and locked her two kids in the house. The house was make of concrete and had metal.bars running cross the windows and doors- this is standard in Jamaica. When she returned, her house was gutted by fire. The bodies of the two kids were found in the shower. They were holding each other and the tap was turned all the way on. I can't imagine their horror as they tried frantically to save their lives. I don't know what happened to the mother. This happened years ago and I can't forget it.
16:54 I have read this story more than once, and it always gets me incredibly sad. I can't imagine how morally destructive it must be seeing your once cheerful sister become a deeply traumatized person. About the sister herself, it absolutely breaks my heart how someone's life and mental health can be completely ruined, just because of having the bad luck of getting in the way of such a monster. I absolutely hope the kidnapper got in serious trouble for this, because he just ruined a person's life. I wholeheartedly hope that the girl ends up being able to move on and live a life as full as possible. The best of my wishes for the family too.
My martial arts teacher's wife was in a car crash with their children. They all made it out alive, however the wife was unconscious and in intensive care for about two months. One of the kids had a broken arm and the other tore a ligament. The worst bit is the fact that the people who crashed into them were illegally racing on some kind of road, they were also drunk. They made it out without more than a scratch and no charges were put up against them as, at court only my martial arts teacher was accusing them and his only evidence was his wife and kids' injuries. He later got anxiety due to this incident. I haven't seen him for a while but I think him and his family are doing okay.
I used to have a friend, Andrew that I knew when I was around 13-14. We’d go fishing, hang out, play games, just dumb kid stuff. One day, he had told me he had gotten in trouble for driving underage (for context, I grew up in a small rural town) and got a warning from a cop. No less than a month later, I go to school and we’re having an outing (it was around thanksgiving break). I walk up to my friend Dylan who also knew Andrew. Dylan’s dad is a part of the fire dept, and he tells me that Andrew got into a car accident and died. Andrew had been driving his drunk sister around after a party (22 yo at the time) and they decided to go down to the lock & dam. The road only consisted of gravel. He ended up losing control and the truck flipped down the levee, crushing him to death. They told me this so non-chalantly (I think due to our age, he didn’t understand death as well). I sat there stunned, unable to process what he meant. After a few “you’re joking right?”, they kept telling me that they weren’t lying. I still remember walking, void of thought, to the track field where I just jogged for a couple hours until my Coach got there for practice and I talked to him. An investigation later found that she had also moved her dead brothers body to the passenger side to try and cover up the fact that she was his legal guardian, and let him drive while she was drunk. Her boyfriend who was on drugs and riding with them suggested that they burn the truck, to destroy evidence of this. They ACTUALLY thought about siphoning gas out of the tank to ignite the truck, but didn’t have time as the police arrived. They were both sentenced to jail time (I forget how long) for drug-related charges and endangering a minor or something along those lines. The mother of Andrew was fucked up for a WHILE with depression. She gained tons of weight and I just generally never saw her around her house anymore. Around 6 months after the crash, she had a heart attack while working at the local diner that we’d call “the Dairy Corner”. Paramedics arrived at the scene but she died shortly after. After her death, her husband (he worked shutdowns and hadn’t been home in a few months) came back home to find the house in shambles and suicide notes. It’s scary to thing of the anguish she went through as her life disintegrated. Honestly, just writing this into words makes me remember the situation, and it gives me chills. This was around my 8th grade year. As I’m 22 yo now, that means this happened around 2010-2012. I can’t find any news related articles about this, but it happened in a small town called Deville in Louisiana. The area has been stricken with avoidable accidents like this due to stupidity. Another friend Christian that was friends with Andrew actually died from a car accident that killed 2 others. He was trying to help victims of a single car wreck when some older folk didn’t notice the flipped truck and hit him and the truck. He was a good soul, I hope him and the other victims Rest In Peace. Article related to the above wreck: www.kalb.com/content/news/Multiple-vehicle-crash-in-Deville-414772543.html Stay safe on the roads y’all, and don’t forget to cherish the experiences you garnish with those you love. I’ll never forget Andrew, or Christian.
I’d like to make a few rectifications to my recollection of what happened to Andrew. I searched for a while to find the article related to his crash. He was driving at points, but let his sister’s boyfriend drive down the levee road as he felt uncomfortable. This also all took place around Christmas, not Thanksgiving, and also occurred in 2014. As this all happened a while ago, and I don’t like remembering that town, I got my original story a bit wrong. Article below: lasalleparishsheriffsoffice.com/vehicular-homicide-charge/
My mother is on the phone hearing that she has stage four cancer. A rare cancer. When she got off she smiled at me and chuckled. "I have stage 4 cancer." I laughed "You're joking...right?" My mother started crying. I sat there in shock, I just told my mom I found out I was pregnant with her first grandchild. That was the day that ruined my family.
Unfortunately she passed shortly after my child was born. But the way her face lit up seeing my daughter is one of the greatest memories I have. She just held her and held her.
A girl at my school found someone's car keys in the parking lot. So, she gathered her friends, used the fob to find the car and they took it for a joyride. The owner's dad was the cop who pulled them over because he recognized his son's car. Because she was 18, she was charged with grand theft auto as an adult. She lost her scholarships, had to give up on college and didn't get to walk at the graduation ceremony.
If i were that girl, I'd have first checked which car the keys belonged to, and go inside the building wherever this parking lot was and report the missing keys to staff, that simple
i witnessed a fatal motorcycle accident a few weeks ago. dude was trying to turn left on a green yield, so he needed to yield to oncoming traffic. he decided to get impatient and got t-boned by a van going about 50-70mph. his body flew in the air, bike was unrecognizable, and he ripped in half. organs, brains, and blood everywhere. ems came and tried to resuscitate him but he basically died on impact. air life flight showed up but then left, only taking his upper torso with them, leaving his legs in the road. they covered him with a white sheet and it immediately turned red from so much blood. i had to stop and ask a cop for directions because they had the whole state route shut down and even the cop was traumatized and sick to his stomach you could tell. his family showed up on scene and his daughters and son had to see his ripped in half body. it was absolutely brutal. guy was 51. worst part - my dash cam caught footage of his body lying there. please don’t be impatient and watch for motorcycles if you drive a car, you could save a life.
When I was still in my second year of training to become a nurse, we had a new patient. She was 54 years old and had a severe stroke that left her basically paralyzed and she wasn't able to speak clearly anymore. I found out after talking to her husband that she had that stroke minutes after her father died... that day ruined her life. 😭
A buddy got fired, diagnosed with a brain tumor and got notice of the divorce in the same day. I didn’t blame him when he showed up toasted at my door to borrow a pc. Everything sorted out for the best. What a day.
@@BgChf-dg5lv in some ways, that may have been the turning point to redo his life. The guy is the stuff of movies. Foster kid, quarterback, valedictorian. Grew up in a tiny farming town. He dated the prom queen and almost got expelled over a practical joke. I met him when he hired me for a software company without completing my bachelors degree. His foster brother insisted. He had some raw materials and he made his life with them.
I had a friend who was about 50, very athletic and an avid bike rider/racer. Biked all the time, raced most weekends. She ran off the road in a bike race and ran into I think a concrete barrier. She's a paraplegic now. :(
The emt kid story, isn't that not pulling the knife from the body is pretty much the basic of treating stab wound? I think that kid didn't listen during training and even if he's allowed to do emt again he might endanger another person as well.
I thought it was general knowledge you shouldn’t pull out a knife from a stab victim. Like even if you have no medical training I thought most people just knew from watching movies reading books or just talking to friends lol.
@@mechadonia movies are the worst references, especially the ones promoting the exact same thing he just did to the patient. there's even one set up as a freaking joke & that's just inexcusable. even medical dramas aren't truly accurate.
@@olymolly3637 you shouldn’t pull the knife out. Wherever you learn that fact is irrelevant lol. Pull the knife out they die leave it they don’t. I don’t get your point.
I was at hospital when i saw a man and (i am guessing) his wife have a full on break down in the ER. From what i could make out, Father had a fight with his son that day and after he left home, the son got murdered. I will never forget that and the worst part, the last memory the father has of his son was of them fighting
Another one. I had an ex gf that had always been told her grandpa and uncle passed away in an accident when she was around 8 or so. We were in college at the time when she looked him up and learned that he had been killed by her uncle who then killed himself. She was messed up for several days and was super pissed that her parents had never come clean with the truth
17:16 I went through an extremely similar case to this year. Main difference is that my dad caught my mom in the act and I was the one who notified her of his death. Also took place in a span of about 1.5 years from my mom being caught followed by divorce and then my dad taking his life. Parents were living separately for some time so my mom would’ve never known until being notified. It’s been a rough couple of months to say the least
EMT isn't like ordinary professions. You can't just run someone through all the motions a bunch of times "by the book" and then stamp a diploma and turn them loose on the outside world. SO they try their best to keep them supervised as they enter the field, and they TRY to get them experience slowly. The operative word, though, is "TRY"... The Supervising Instructor has to fill out the form and put down whether or not the next call is on the Student or if it's another "Supervisory Run"... AND to prevent cheating the system, they can't just sign off on a field report in the field. It has to be done "blind"... SO while they're in the break room, or at a restaurant, or coffee mess, the Super' looks at his Student, and very abruptly says, "Okay, the next one's ALL you. You got this. I'm just there to log the report. I can't help and I can't touch a thing." If the Super has to take over, there are consequences... for both of them. Now... USUALLY, by the time they get to a stage where they're actually about to handle a call on their own, a Student is SUPPOSED to have already done most (if not all) the possible procedures available to an Ambulance crew. They're supposed to have experience in the real world "under fire", and the only difference is that they were being ordered around before, and this time, they take the "lead", dictating everything that goes on, or doing it all themselves... Whatever the reason, this kid "freaked out"... It's rare at this stage of training, but it happens. It's usually not so big a deal, and there are usually oversights and redundancies to keep it from being too serious a mistake. The "freaked out" Kid would get reprimanded, and maybe even back up and repeat some training... BUT that's usually all it requires. Let's not be too gentle with this Supervisor, either. The kid had a panic issue, and did one stupid thing. It's not good, but no more than extracting the object from a stab/puncture wound IS recoverable... AND this Super' decided it was best ON THE SPOT and WITH A FREAKED OUT Student, to get upset and add his own emotional BS to the equation... The appropriate reaction is to realize a critical mistake is about to happen, and try to prevent it. Grabbing the kid's hand and stopping him from pulling on the knife... IF that's impossible, you just STOP the procedure right there. A stern "NO!" and "I'm taking over. YOU do this." is what's called for, along with shoving the clipboard into the kid's hands. Get the patient stable as possible as quickly as possible and haul ass, focusing on get the victim to help... You reserve the verbal abuse and reprimands for later when the patient is either safe (long term) or dead... period. Again, the kid suffers a "Fail" in the field reports, and may have mandatory repeat training, but you do your best for the patient... SO this Super' screwed up as much as his Student... Panicked people don't think. That makes them prone to do STUPID things... That's why we have all the redundancies (especially in personnel) in first aid and rescue. ;o)
@@keonvneon Thanks for reading... I had to bring it up. Somebody needed to say something. It's just too easy to defame in hindsight when a student has to make the move from student to "pro" somewhere and somehow at sometime. There's no other way to do it. Anyways, hope it was as interesting as it was informative in your opinion. ;o)
@@gnarthdarkanen7464 Yeah for real. Base instincts say “Undo thing” and well… yeah. Supervisor shouldn’t have screamed at the kid before the situation was handled
@@DeathnoteBB Yup... It seems to me, when I was in the military, and getting on the job training, all my super's would slowly let me take more and more autonomy or lead actions without being told before they'd say anything like, "Okay, the next one's yours"... The idea is that you still technically "supervise" but only correct when necessary... AND as the student shows he's capable most of the time anyway, THAT is when he's already comfortable just DOING the job... AND after that point, you can start saying, "You're the lead" or "You take point", because the only difference is the formality of filling out the paperwork. I'm thinking this instructor wasn't so experienced at the process and tried to fast-track the student... Of course, I could be mistaken... BUT it's a theory that won't leave me alone when I think about this case. ;o)
High school athlete, got to college on scholarship. Was on two different teams, and was a Phys Ed. major... He was going to be a trainer in the pro's... I knew him in his Junior Year... He was a good guy, and other than an occasional beer, he was about as straight-edge as it gets. AND by "occasional", we're talking about a once a year party... Sometimes for New Years, or another particular celebration, he'd drink, but beer was it and only one party a year. SO he decided to join the party when about half of one of the Teams (Baseball, I think?) was going to graduate. There was a balcony and plenty of carousing in and outside, and then while he was out with a small handful of others, drinking and chatting, joking around... The railing around the balcony broke and three of them fell. Only he landed on a large rock... becoming a parapalegic. At least, he was of age, so no legal trouble or "morality clause" consequences with the school... BUT Mister Phys. Ed. and an aspiring Sports Trainer was suddenly confined to a wheel-chair for the rest of his life... Depression set in... As it happened, I'd managed (even though not Alaskan quality) to work a dog-sled and train some dogs for pulling... I was in a shared house (at the time) about four houses from his place... SO I spent summer (between elective classes and work-study on campus) setting up kennels and scouting for dogs I could get started... AND a couple of the other guys caught on, joined me in training them, once I explained how the program had to work... AND we managed to get a decent six-dog team together for our guy up the road, just in time for a New Year's party... He wasn't much in the mood to party most of the time, but he'd taken a big turn toward booze (dangerously)... AND then we "kidnapped him" by showing off the snap-on rigging for his wheel-chair, which we then took turns RACING around the block while he screamed and laughed... SO he very NEARLY ruined his life over that one day... AND in truth, he's never going to be a professional trainer... BUT a semi-pro' dog-sledder and trainer isn't too shabby... At least it kinda brought the booze back under control... We even took a collection around campus and took him out to dinner AFTER paying his first Speeding Ticket! {okay, that was just too funny} Last I heard, he'd found a GF, and was part of a rescue in another state, helping rehab' dogs from shitty homes and confiscations. ;o)
@@colleenross8752 Just finding a purpose that DOES something is a great way to heal. I just figured the dog-sled thing was a cool (if a tad goofy) trick to get him some advantage getting around... AND I've never shied away from a scar in my life. I've always leaned right in rather than try to hide something that shares my story with a visual... SO instead of adapting a 4x4 to accommodate his wheel chair and let him feel more like a drain, why not build his character with a dog-team that gets around just as fast in winter as in summer... and only a few trimming and grooming bills for the summer work/weather balance...? Anyway, you DO have a point. Animals are kind of like kids, giving us the power and will to step up and start healing ourselves. I was just glad to give him a hell of a case of windburn and exude a good laugh out of him... HE took off with the idea... so yeah, "Good for him!" ;o)
I worked at a truck stop in a really tiny town out in the middle of no where, one day we noticed the bus from the city had been delayed. I couldn't clock off until it had arrived, and this bus was rarely late. At first we thought it had broken down, but none of the trucks coming from that way had been through either. A guy in a car pulled in and explained there had been a accident involving 3 cars on the highway between our tiny town and the next one about 2 hours away, it was so bad that all large vehicles had to be stopped, and they had only manged to clear enough of the accident away to allow small cars to pass. My town found out only about an hour later that one of the cars had the local grandmothers who had been heading to the city to buy Christmas presents, the second car had a local teacher and his three kids, the third car was one of my classmates who had been speeding and was the cause of the accident and his best friend had also been in the car. 3 of the 5 grandmothers died on impact, 1 died on life support at the hospital, and the last grandmother broke her hip and back and lost mobility from the chest down. The local teacher and two of his three children had died, he died on impact, the two kids died on the way to the hospital, the last kid survived with little to no injury. My classmates best friend died on impact, and my classmate who had caused the accident survived with no injuries. The next day I had to hug a 43 year old man as he broke down in the shop, his mother died in that accident, she had been the grandmother driving the other grandmothers. The classmate who caused the accident and survived killed himself less than a week after this had all happened, in his note he said that his friend had been frightened and told him to slow down. A little over a month later 5 local boys went for a fishing trip, they came back in the early hours of the morning because rain was about to set in and the tracks would close. None of the boys were wearing their seat belts, the the boy driving fell asleep at the wheel and veered off into a tree. He went through the windscreen and broke his neck colliding head on with another tree. His friends had all been sleeping in the car, one boy had hit the windscreen and was unresponsive, the three in the back woke up and found one of the friends dead, the other one unresponsive, and one had a broken leg. They were in a area with no cell phone reception, the last two boys that could walk had to take the only phone out of the five which still had any charge (which belonged to their dead friend, they had to get it out of his pocket) and walk for 10 kilometres in the dark with no light, to get phone reception so they could call for help. By the time help arrived, the unresponsive boy had died despite the boy with the broken legs best efforts, and he had gone into shock and was in a pretty bad way. All of these boys where aged between 17 and 20. I knew these boys, and from that day on they just looked so lifeless. The boy who had broken his leg killed himself less than a year later, and one of the boys who left to get help killed himself shortly after. And just to make things worse, between these two car accidents happening where 3 more fatal accidents in my small town. A four year old was crushed to death when a quad bike rolled on him, in front of his 7 year old brother, parents, and grandparents. A young local man who had just turned 20 dove into the ocean to save his friend who had slipped and fallen in, she was drunk at the time and was a bad swimmer, but he hit the back of his head on the rock going in and never surfaced. His friends all got in the water and looked for him, divers found his body wedged under the rock he died on the next day, his eyes were still open so it was likely he didn't even realise he was about to die. And lastly a house fire took the life of a two month old baby and her mother, leaving the father who was at work at the time. He killed himself shortly after. My town has not been the same since.
@@realdex I don't live there anymore but its a tint rural town in the south west corner of Western Australia, the entire area is filled with roads only wide enough for horse and carriage, shotty cell phone reception and "black spots" where there is no reception at all for kilometres around. Major problem with the roads is the fact that this area is entirely made of large hills and valleys, and horse and cart roads have tons of curves in them so they gradually climb them, these roads aren't quite wide enough, stable enough, or guarded enough for more than 2 cars at a time, on multiple areas there are points that are only wide enough for one car, and there is a steep drop right outside your door. The amount of road accidents over the years from people taking a corner to fast is ridiculous, not to mention most roads as loose gravel and dirt which aren't so great when it comes to brakes. And if this wasn't bad enough, the trees in that area are some of the largest trees in the world with some of the most dense and hard wood that can be found on the planet, crash into one of those trees at high speed and people have been known to wrap their metal cars around the trunk and touch together on the other side, my father was in 11 car accidents like this in his life time. I wouldn't be surprised if the place was cursed, but I think its more so that people are stupid and they don't take road safety seriously enough for the condition is which they have to drive.
A movie needs to get made about this place. It will be Unrated in Australia. To play in the US, every scene outside your truck stop will be edited out. Hugh Jackman will win the Oscar.
Fires are nasty. When the Kyoto Animation arson occurred, experts later said that from the moment the felon got the fire going, occupants would have had 55 seconds to escape before passing out from monoxide poisoning. Whole country was in shock.
My cousin his stepson went to a bonfire party. My cousin told him if you’re not home by midnight Either don’t come home or you will get a beating. Stepson got into an accident and died. He regrets saying that to him to this day. He says now he wish that he was nicer to him.
I knew a girl that failed some small practical test in a nursing program in her final year of a 6-year program on a Friday. Not a big deal the school said it was probably just nerves take it again on Monday. She decided to blow off some steam over the weekend but her boyfriend she was living with was working so she went out with some girlfriends. Don't know the details but between Friday night 8pm and Monday at around 6am she managed to rack up a few grand in cocaine debt, leave her bf for a coke dealer. Sell her car that wasn't her car (parents) and walked into her nursing retest so obviously wasted that they just sort of removed from the program without any real statement from the school. The crazy part of all this is from what I know the "test" is sort of like a haha your a nurse now handshake tradition. You take your instructor's blood pressure, something you have done a thousand times by this point. Some people clap and ta da your done.
she would still need to pass the NCLEX in order to get her nursing license. I'm glad she didn't. It would be terrible if she put her future patients in danger or end up stealing drugs.
@Annistar I won't say it came out of nowhere but she really wasn't like that till literally the eve of her graduation. It was pretty shocking to watch it happen. She moved to another city and I think she is a bartender now. Never did ask her what the hell happened.
“Student freaks out and, you guessed it, puts the frikking knife back in.” Sorry sir, you dropped this. Just WTF?! I feel bad for the guy but I am so happy he’s not working on Emergency anything ever again...some people are not cut out for it, and the only way to discover that, unfortunately, is trial by fire. This one however was trial by TRIAL.
Lmao yeah, i learned to not pull out a knife or sharp object when i was 13, but like, if he just pulled it out then his life wouldn't have been ruined, he just wouldn't have a chance in the healthcare industry, but god, he PUT IT BACK, just HOW! How does that happen?! What's the thought process? did he never hear about this? I am so confused yet still feel really bad for the guy.
Yeah, not pulling the object from the body is pretty much the basic and repeated in many popular media even non emt knew that. I'm afraid he didn't listen to many things during his emt training
He’s a medical student. You shouldn’t feel bad for him at all because he should’ve known not to do that. Honestly what happened to him was definitely deserved. Someone like that probably shouldn’t be employed by anyone ever.
I had a coworker divorce his wife due to mental issues. Court awarded split custody due to his unfaithfulness. Turns out she had schizophrenia and killed both of their kids and then herself. We weren't close, but a bunch of us donated our vacation time so he could take some extra time to grieve as he had already used up many of his days off that year.
Seriously? Splitting custody just because one of them cheated? And they didn't bother to see if she was fit to handle the kids with him since she's known to be unstable? Hate to say it, but I wonder if the people that handled that case heard about it and are feeling differently about the issue.
@@Vernal_Skythe signs of schizophrenia may not have even been present. It's common for people with schizophrenia to begin displaying symptoms in their early 30s, enough to have a pre-established healthy family life. His unfaithfulness, being a traumatic situation, could have been what brought on the schizophrenia. Plus, ya know, being unfaithful can mean you're a fairly unfit parent as well.
Used to manage an apartment complex. Had a nice young guy living there. I don't know what his story was but he fell hard for the local floozie. After one date, they were living together (she was homeless, I'm sure). The next time I saw him, he was on drugs and drunk. She was acting more like his dealer than his girlfriend. His family must have horrified.
Yeah, when I found out my brother passed due to drunk driving, I was up watching DBZ and figured he should have been home since he went out with a girl the night prior.. it was 10am and the detectives or w/e knocked on the door.. I'm thinking he was got thrown into jail or was acting crazy.. We were super close, that was 9 years ago. Even when you cope, and move forward the effects will always linger in some way. He had just turned 21, 4 days prior
I used to work at a hospital as a security guard, I got called to the ER for a lock down for an arriving gunshot victim. I stood by the ER ambulance bay, the staff informed me it was now briefed as self inflicted. The EMTs arrived with a man missing the left side of his head still alive. The staff told me he was alive because he missed the part of the brain that controls breathing and organ function but destroyed the left side of his brain. Turned out he broke in to a gunshop, grabbed a shotgun loaded some bird shot and placed it in his mouth. When the shotguns off the rack he grabbed one off of, all fell. It spooked him leading him to fired at an angle. After the docs patched him up he was flown out, I had to escort him on a stretcher. When I sanitized the stretcher there was bits and pieces of matter. It was a small town so we all new where it took place. I found out weeks later the gunshop staff still find pieces of the mans skull and that the shotgun that was used is on sale.
I've heard of families that were destroyed because one family member committed suicide in their residence and their loved ones found the body. I'm sure they would have been destroyed by their deaths whether they found the bodies or not, but finding them added that extra dose of trauma, especially one where the son blew his head off with a shotgun while his parents were at work. People, if you are hell-bent on killing yourself, don't do it someplace where your loved ones will be the first people to find your bodies and don't do it in the place where they live as well.
8:38 Oh my god, that's horrible. I hope they get to live an actual full life and it isn't limited, but if they don't I hope an easy rest is poured on them.
Whoever threw the piece of candy to the kid that fell out of the float must feel like complete human garbage and that really sucks for everyone involved/ witnessed
The night that changed my world. My family were coming home from my mum and dad's honeymoon. My mum fell asleep in the van home, died in her sleep. She was 34 or 36 this was in 04 I was 9. The worst part was there was no history of illness she was just gone. And due to that fact and her being young they were whispers my dad did it and my mums accounts were frozen. Even to this day am 26 I can recall that night like it was yesterday. And now it just feels surreal, no real memories I have of her as I was very young. I miss you mum
It was about 4 years ago. I had a friend who was incredibly intelligent, he was in school to be an engineer. One night he got into a fight at a bar, came out with a gun, and shot 2 people to death. He will spend the rest of his life in jail. All because he couldn't control his temper.
Had to fire a cook that worked for me for not showing up the day before with no call. His roommate also worked for me. Tells me the guy also got fired from his evening job that same day. His girlfriend found out and dumped him. Lost 2 jobs and a girl in less than 12 hours!
I used to work as a police officer. One night when me and my rota partners were having our last supper we had a call about a young lad, approximately 21, that had made some threats of selfharm to his parents and ran away. On the way to the address we found out that I had dealt with the young lad the weekend before when he had been jumped on a night out outside a nightclub by a father and son and had quite the bad beating, so I knew him. When we arrived at the address we spread out to search for him, when a call came out over the radio by my sgt saying he'd found him in a shipping container they had on some land they owned behind their house. I took off sprinting to get there and saw my sgt holding up his body as he had hung himself from some rope that he had tied to a hook on the inside of the container. We cut him down and immeditately went into CPR. What I hadn't realized was that I had ran past the lads parents as I ran to the scene, and they had followed me there. His mother was a nurse, and they proceeded to watch us carry out CPR on their dead son for the next half an hour as we waited for paramedics to arrive. Turns out the assault from the weekend before, doubled with his girlfriend cheating on him was one step too far and he went and killed himself. I'm convinced to this day that she knew that he was dead before anyone else, and just couldn't bring herself to accept it.
I had a cousin on my dad's side suffer from depression. His mum was the only one who lived in the same state as me and my mom (parents seperated). I used to visit that house a lot and love spending time there when I was younger. One day, the cousin ended his life, but the method used was brutal: he burned himself alive which also burned the house down. Haven't been in contact since the funeral. Its among my top day ruiners from having a toxic discord friend who was exposed to p-rn at age 9 (and became addicted), and a girl who I befriended on my first day at a new school suddenly becoming sour because her brother cut her hair with a knife.
I didn’t actually see this, just a story I heard, but still somewhat relating to the question. So this guy was a doctor and at some point during his shift he smelled barbecue and thought “oh cool, someone must have brought in barbecue as like an appreciation thing”, nope, there was a fire or something and the smell was of child burn victims. He left his profession I think and went to therapy. (Sorry if my story telling skills aren’t very good)
The story of the fire reminds me of a similar event my dad was in (when he was a kid) he was walking home when he noticed smoke coming from a house, he entered it and saw that the kids living in the house and their babysitter were napping, fortunately he was able to wake them up and called the fire department.
22:11 This is me...l try to forget the things he said during that final session, but l just can't. He begged me to move with him to the UK. BEGGED me. l gave up my entire life to come with him and help him follow his dreams. Now here l am, homeless, penniless, and unemployable since l have many health issues that worsened during our five years together. l feel so lost and alone. l don't know how to move forward anymore.
4:40 My jaw legit dropped. Like.... wtf dude. You make the worst decision possible and then somehow make an EVEN WORSE decision. I bet that dude doesnt sleep.
I found out today that a wrestling coach from the high school I graduated from was arrested for soliciting sex from a minor in Las Vegas, so that's one way to ruin your life in a single day.
Was about 7 y/o when a dude on a motorcycle with no headlights on crashed into the van I was riding in. He didn’t even smash into us, his wheel caught the side of our car and he was going so fast he did a fucking wall ride up the the side of the van before flying over the hood and smashing into the road in front of us. His bike tumbled over him and split him in half at belly button level. Saw his intestines.
@15:31 My belly was full of ice when this story came up, as it is nearly exactly what happened to a guy I knew in high school (who was 16 at the time) except his sister didn't escape or survive.
Girl from my school didn't stop at a stop sign before crossing the highway on her lil moped - she got hit by a semi and died instantly literally just trying to cut across the two lanes to get to another back road.
Not personally seen it, but a (now) former coworker was repairing his roof at home. He's the type who will say "Safety? Nah..." so at one point the scaffolding he stood on collapsed. He fell 5-6 metres down and a giant wooden spike penetrated his spine. Paralyzed from the chest down and spent several months in hospital. He's now a severely depressed alcoholic as the doctors told him he will never be able to walk again and is strapped to his wheelchair for life.
I never get people like the second guy who tried to be a hero with the robber. Just give them the money, it’s not worth losing your life over a few dollars. An empty cash register isn’t the end of the world and, if you’re a sensible workplace, petty cash would be transferred into an account regularly or kept in a safe. And on top of that, everything is insured anyway. That guy lost his junk over a few measly bucks....not smart.
im at least on par with the 5:38 story. 5 months before my father died from his accident, a year and a half of fighting the courts and then another few month to make sure we didnt lose our house bc they wanted to put a lean on it bc my dad didn't die before his insurance ran out. my life is semi back on track, but the hurt never leaves, and the memories never go away
@@ellasedits_ Heard of a different story with a bittersweet ending. Family had this loan with the insurance that if the breadwinner died, the remaining mortgage was cancelled. Bank honoured the contract when the man died prematurely (illness or heart attack, can't recall). Family still must've been devastated. A less serious case involved my teacher's pal becoming the guarantor for a friend. Teacher's pal ended up having to fork over hundreds of grands when the friend's company went bankrupt. I do believe the grateful friend tried helping as much as he could but it was still a blow to the guarantor's life savings. At least no one died, on the bright side.
Guy that used to go to our church stabbed a classmate at 17. He called our pastor at the time and asked him to call the police. Guy didn't die fortunately. The guy I knew got 34 years at 17. He won't be out til he's in his fifties
There was a bad car crash in my region. Ambulance was called. The crash was so bad that a 18yo girl died at the scene in her mother's arms. The mother was on shift on the ambulance crew that was called. I can't imagine being in that moms skin that day, being called to a bad accident to find your own daughter so badly injured that they couldn't save her.
When I was in 4th grade a classmate was shot to death by a 16yo neighbor. Teen said they were playing DND and he didn't know the gun was loaded. At trial other kids testify he had pointed guns at them previously. He spends well over a decade in prison and upon release moves out of state. Ended up dying from cancer just a couple years after that. That was not the only murder (nor suicides) to take place at my school while I was there but he was one of the few friends I had at that time. And this was a small town of ~6000 over an hour drive from any city of significance.
I know a guy who got a dishonorable discharge (section 8.. which he didn't deserve, but was actually better for him than everything else they could have kicked him for). He was a total shitbird to begin with, but after that he has had zero chance to get anywhere in life. This was a couple decades ago and he is now back living with his parents. His brother also lives with them, but he got a Masters degree and moved back to helpt ake care of their father after a stroke. (Dad is doing pretty good, considering, btw. Just can't quite do everything for himself and his wife needs a bit of help with it)
The very young son (I believe aged 3 or 4) of a couple my grandparents once knew drowned in one of the city's many creeks while the mother had some conversation with another woman, who happened to be the wife of their church's lead minister. Because of this, the victim's mother blamed the wife/minister/church and abandoned her faith.
01:55 First rule I was taught about Interstate Driving: Stay the f*** away from all Semi trucks. If you can't pass them, make sure someone is between you and the truck.
The babysitter fell asleep and the kids were playing with matches. Me: I see where this is going The babysitter and 3 kids died Me: I don’t see where this is going.
Genuinely curious as to what you thought was going to happen, the moment I saw kids with matches I just kinda knew they were all going to die (especially with these posts).
1:10 we had a similar thing happened here in my town only except that you need to actually be of age to ride a horse in a parade. The reason why that was because a little girl was on a horse and fell off and was soon trampled by the other horses and her parents had lied about her age since she was actually younger than the required age. so not everybody a week and they double check to make sure that the child is of age. It’s been at least 13 years since it happened but hearing this one in particular is what reminded me of that incident.
Story at 4:10 reminds me of one by Mark Manson. He was getting pissed at kids screaming and running around while the father did nothing, until he found out the father was still studded by his wife's death at the hospital that same morning. Neither the man nor his kids knew what the heck to do, and Mark Manson felt horrible for getting pissed at the grieving family.
A girl I went to elementary school with lost her mother and sister in a car accident. About a year after I moved away(so about 4th grade for me). The whole family was driving early one morning, her mom fell asleep at the wheel and steered the car into a river. She and the younger daughter died, my classmate and her dad survived
Obvious ones would be murdering people, depending on the type of work you do, being convicted of anything as job prospects after could be near impossible after, pissing off the wrong person and them retaliating and forever having medical problems, if you cheat and are found out can be life ruining for many reasons, your partner getting ptsd from the trauma, you losing the respect and trust of family and friends, etc. Doesnt take much to ruin your life, especially if you are cocky
So in second grade a kids dad had died in a fire, he did it while saving children from a fire and went back in to save the mother but ended up dieing in the fire. The mother had actually escaped and he didn't know it. The kid came back after and week and nobody spoke to him because they where scared he was gonna get mad at them. It was hard.
Yes and no on a family falling apart over stealing. My husband has told me that if he ever found out I started stealing he'd leave me, however he'd have to fight me for the kids, half and half baby, momma ain't giving up no rights for whatever reason. Just fyi: I'm not a thief, as much as robbing a bank could really help us out, it's not worth it and I have morals 🤷🏻♀️😂
One of the teachers and varsity football coaches at my high school died a few weeks ago after losing a struggle with COVID. My mom died about 6 or so years ago (i was 9 or 10, i don't remember because i blocked out a lot of the memories, i'm in therapy to deal with this) and it changed my whole world, so I can understand and imagine what they're going through, but at the same time I can't. Death is inevitable, but still reaches into the depths of your soul and sticks a knife right where it's the most painful.
The day my sister had her foot degloved by a pickup truck. Was getting off the bus at school when it flew by way too close to the bus and was wearing flip flops. She was at college when this happened. I was home for the weekend from my school and was coming home from getting my morning Dunkin coffee. I made my way up the stairs and encountered my mom in the kitchen shaking and crying. She told me and I just sat down on my bed in shock. The next night I almost emailed my professor about an assignment I was going to take off because of what happened, but my dad said I was just using it as an excuse, and all the built up emotions over the last 48 hours just broke me and I fell onto my bathroom floor and sobbed uncontrollably. My parents thought I was having a psychotic breakdown, I thought I was going to have to go to a psych ward for a bit, because I was legitimately inconsolable. I slept that night with my mom (I was 18, I know, but my mom asked me) and we cried together. It was also the first time in my life I had witnessed my father sob. He had cried before (only time I saw it was when Kobe Bryant died), but he lost it on the way to drop me off at work. It isn’t necessarily a complete life ruiner, as my sister lived, but definitely a life altering moment, as she underwent over 20 surgeries in 2 weeks. The first nurse said there was a 70% chance they would have to amputate her foot, but luckily the damage was just below the threshold that would demand amputation. That was almost a year ago at this point, I remember the exact day: April 7, 2023. Good Friday. Worst fucking Easter ever, we spent the entire day at the hospital. My sister is such a fucking trooper. She is the strongest person I know. She takes it like a champ. She wasn’t able to use her Criminal Justice degree due to her injury, so she is working as a teacher and that will be her career. She hates talking about it, and I haven’t pressed her on the issue in ages. Lawsuit against the Town DPW (that the truck was apart of) is still in litigation, so that is all I can say.
My nephew became a S offender at 15 when he tried to R his half sister about 3yrs ago at thanksgiving. He was left alone and offered his half sister who was 5 at the time to play outside together and when her mom came out to check on them he was caught with his P out and she was bent over. According to her she wasn’t hurt and he had just offered to play leap frog and man did his dad smack him and yelled at him he couldn’t pick his head up he was ashamed of himself for what he attempted to do and he lost my love and respect that day and don’t care if i ever see him for the rest of my life. Just found out earlier this month from my god child he had made her uncomfortable about 6yrs prior but she she’s 14 at the moment and says he didn’t do anything too bad in a sense but he did plant a kiss on her. I had told him about what he did and told her if he sees him again and he tries anything because she’s now a beautiful woman and not a naive 8-9yr old and to go ahead and beat him up or report him. I asked her to squeeze my hand to check her strength and she cracked my hand it was strong so she’ll be able to be sure he never becomes a dad himself. She can fight too believe me a bully hit her in the eye last year for being a lesbian and instead of crying she got mad and chased after the homophobic bully. Even told her if anything happens that she can’t fight go ahead and break things to get attention from someone to help be it a new flatscreen tv or a PS5 i will happily pay to replace it because those things are only materials that can be replaced but her innocence can’t i love that lil girl too much to let her get hurt and live with the trama being taken advantage of must feel like i can’t imagine
The person that got themself into a coma saving their child from a fire, only for their child to have died anyway. Do you think, in the deep dark night, in the lowest of low moments, they briefly think "I should have just left them to die"?
My Friend's entire life might be fucked. He had a new girlfriend. She was living hotel to hotel. He told me he "stole" her from some dudes who were gangmembers. They confronted my Friend but they were intimidated by him because he can fight and he also had a gun as well. Well one day he leaves the hotel to see his kid and he gives her his wallet to hold in case she was hungry n needed food. Those dudes(Maybe)go and shoot her in the face. Cops arrest my friend because they found his wallet/ID on her. Was enough to arrest him. On the video it shows him walking with her to the room and then him walking back.... Yea that's enough "evidence" to probably convict him. But it does show then kissing n hugging so maybe that can help...idk
Guy I knew got married without a prenup..... He got screwed so hard in the divorce the stress caused a heart attack and he died, he kinda got the last laugh though as his death benefits (triple annual salary) went to his parents because he'd never updated the form with HR.
There is this guy I know work as a driver for school bus. He just buy his house, and basically no money left. One day he got hit by a young couple (in their 20) in a motorcycle when driving the kids. The boy died immediately - mom is sick, young brother is like 10, no dad. the girl in a comma, an orphan, no relatives. None of it was his fault, but he had to pay for the damage, some for the boy’s funeral, and the girl hospital’s bill. The driver family just had the third child too.
The story about the wife who lost her husband and kids because of missile because of Syrian war, a reminder that you can be happy when your family go home from the war. But for some, home IS the battlefield and they can't always leave.

My life ended on December 10th when police showed up at my door to tell me my 13 year old had committed suicide at their fathers house that morning. Everytime I see police now I freeze and begin to cry... I'm pretty sure there are several police officers who now think I'm insane

I remember hearing on the news one day that a woman went for a jog and locked her two kids in the house. The house was make of concrete and had metal.bars running cross the windows and doors- this is standard in Jamaica. When she returned, her house was gutted by fire. The bodies of the two kids were found in the shower. They were holding each other and the tap was turned all the way on. I can't imagine their horror as they tried frantically to save their lives. I don't know what happened to the mother. This happened years ago and I can't forget it.
This is horrifying and heartbreaking.....
Damn. That's a sad story.
Damn
There was no way to get out of the house? Surely you could open the front door from the inside
I'm from Jamaica and I remember that too
16:54 I have read this story more than once, and it always gets me incredibly sad. I can't imagine how morally destructive it must be seeing your once cheerful sister become a deeply traumatized person. About the sister herself, it absolutely breaks my heart how someone's life and mental health can be completely ruined, just because of having the bad luck of getting in the way of such a monster. I absolutely hope the kidnapper got in serious trouble for this, because he just ruined a person's life.
I wholeheartedly hope that the girl ends up being able to move on and live a life as full as possible. The best of my wishes for the family too.
My martial arts teacher's wife was in a car crash with their children. They all made it out alive, however the wife was unconscious and in intensive care for about two months. One of the kids had a broken arm and the other tore a ligament.
The worst bit is the fact that the people who crashed into them were illegally racing on some kind of road, they were also drunk. They made it out without more than a scratch and no charges were put up against them as, at court only my martial arts teacher was accusing them and his only evidence was his wife and kids' injuries. He later got anxiety due to this incident. I haven't seen him for a while but I think him and his family are doing okay.

I used to have a friend, Andrew that I knew when I was around 13-14. We’d go fishing, hang out, play games, just dumb kid stuff. One day, he had told me he had gotten in trouble for driving underage (for context, I grew up in a small rural town) and got a warning from a cop. No less than a month later, I go to school and we’re having an outing (it was around thanksgiving break). I walk up to my friend Dylan who also knew Andrew. Dylan’s dad is a part of the fire dept, and he tells me that Andrew got into a car accident and died. Andrew had been driving his drunk sister around after a party (22 yo at the time) and they decided to go down to the lock & dam. The road only consisted of gravel. He ended up losing control and the truck flipped down the levee, crushing him to death.
They told me this so non-chalantly (I think due to our age, he didn’t understand death as well). I sat there stunned, unable to process what he meant. After a few “you’re joking right?”, they kept telling me that they weren’t lying. I still remember walking, void of thought, to the track field where I just jogged for a couple hours until my Coach got there for practice and I talked to him.
An investigation later found that she had also moved her dead brothers body to the passenger side to try and cover up the fact that she was his legal guardian, and let him drive while she was drunk. Her boyfriend who was on drugs and riding with them suggested that they burn the truck, to destroy evidence of this. They ACTUALLY thought about siphoning gas out of the tank to ignite the truck, but didn’t have time as the police arrived. They were both sentenced to jail time (I forget how long) for drug-related charges and endangering a minor or something along those lines.
The mother of Andrew was fucked up for a WHILE with depression. She gained tons of weight and I just generally never saw her around her house anymore. Around 6 months after the crash, she had a heart attack while working at the local diner that we’d call “the Dairy Corner”. Paramedics arrived at the scene but she died shortly after. After her death, her husband (he worked shutdowns and hadn’t been home in a few months) came back home to find the house in shambles and suicide notes. It’s scary to thing of the anguish she went through as her life disintegrated.
Honestly, just writing this into words makes me remember the situation, and it gives me chills. This was around my 8th grade year. As I’m 22 yo now, that means this happened around 2010-2012. I can’t find any news related articles about this, but it happened in a small town called Deville in Louisiana.
The area has been stricken with avoidable accidents like this due to stupidity. Another friend Christian that was friends with Andrew actually died from a car accident that killed 2 others. He was trying to help victims of a single car wreck when some older folk didn’t notice the flipped truck and hit him and the truck. He was a good soul, I hope him and the other victims Rest In Peace.
Article related to the above wreck:

Stay safe on the roads y’all, and don’t forget to cherish the experiences you garnish with those you love. I’ll never forget Andrew, or Christian.
I’d like to make a few rectifications to my recollection of what happened to Andrew. I searched for a while to find the article related to his crash.
He was driving at points, but let his sister’s boyfriend drive down the levee road as he felt uncomfortable. This also all took place around Christmas, not Thanksgiving, and also occurred in 2014. As this all happened a while ago, and I don’t like remembering that town, I got my original story a bit wrong.

A girl at my school found someone's car keys in the parking lot.
So, she gathered her friends, used the fob to find the car and they took it for a joyride.
The owner's dad was the cop who pulled them over because he recognized his son's car.
Because she was 18, she was charged with grand theft auto as an adult.
She lost her scholarships, had to give up on college and didn't get to walk at the graduation ceremony.
well, she deserved that.

i witnessed a fatal motorcycle accident a few weeks ago. dude was trying to turn left on a green yield, so he needed to yield to oncoming traffic. he decided to get impatient and got t-boned by a van going about 50-70mph. his body flew in the air, bike was unrecognizable, and he ripped in half. organs, brains, and blood everywhere. ems came and tried to resuscitate him but he basically died on impact. air life flight showed up but then left, only taking his upper torso with them, leaving his legs in the road. they covered him with a white sheet and it immediately turned red from so much blood. i had to stop and ask a cop for directions because they had the whole state route shut down and even the cop was traumatized and sick to his stomach you could tell. his family showed up on scene and his daughters and son had to see his ripped in half body. it was absolutely brutal. guy was 51. worst part - my dash cam caught footage of his body lying there. please don’t be impatient and watch for motorcycles if you drive a car, you could save a life.
When I was still in my second year of training to become a nurse, we had a new patient.

EMTs aren’t supposed to pull anything out but he definitely shouldn’t have put it back in

Another one. I had an ex gf that had always been told her grandpa and uncle passed away in an accident when she was around 8 or so. We were in college at the time when she looked him up and learned that he had been killed by her uncle who then killed himself. She was messed up for several days and was super pissed that her parents had never come clean with the truth
The dude who got locked up for soliciting a minor... Nothing "happened to him" he did it to himself.
Agreed and he deserved worse.
17:16 I went through an extremely similar case to this year. Main difference is that my dad caught my mom in the act and I was the one who notified her of his death. Also took place in a span of about 1.5 years from my mom being caught followed by divorce and then my dad taking his life. Parents were living separately for some time so my mom would’ve never known until being notified. It’s been a rough couple of months to say the least

Why we decided to trust a student with a literal dying person is beyond me.
EMT isn't like ordinary professions. You can't just run someone through all the motions a bunch of times "by the book" and then stamp a diploma and turn them loose on the outside world. SO they try their best to keep them supervised as they enter the field, and they TRY to get them experience slowly.
The operative word, though, is "TRY"... The Supervising Instructor has to fill out the form and put down whether or not the next call is on the Student or if it's another "Supervisory Run"... AND to prevent cheating the system, they can't just sign off on a field report in the field. It has to be done "blind"...
SO while they're in the break room, or at a restaurant, or coffee mess, the Super' looks at his Student, and very abruptly says, "Okay, the next one's ALL you. You got this. I'm just there to log the report. I can't help and I can't touch a thing."
If the Super has to take over, there are consequences... for both of them. Now... USUALLY, by the time they get to a stage where they're actually about to handle a call on their own, a Student is SUPPOSED to have already done most (if not all) the possible procedures available to an Ambulance crew. They're supposed to have experience in the real world "under fire", and the only difference is that they were being ordered around before, and this time, they take the "lead", dictating everything that goes on, or doing it all themselves...
Whatever the reason, this kid "freaked out"... It's rare at this stage of training, but it happens. It's usually not so big a deal, and there are usually oversights and redundancies to keep it from being too serious a mistake. The "freaked out" Kid would get reprimanded, and maybe even back up and repeat some training... BUT that's usually all it requires.
Let's not be too gentle with this Supervisor, either. The kid had a panic issue, and did one stupid thing. It's not good, but no more than extracting the object from a stab/puncture wound IS recoverable... AND this Super' decided it was best ON THE SPOT and WITH A FREAKED OUT Student, to get upset and add his own emotional BS to the equation...
The appropriate reaction is to realize a critical mistake is about to happen, and try to prevent it. Grabbing the kid's hand and stopping him from pulling on the knife... IF that's impossible, you just STOP the procedure right there. A stern "NO!" and "I'm taking over. YOU do this." is what's called for, along with shoving the clipboard into the kid's hands. Get the patient stable as possible as quickly as possible and haul ass, focusing on get the victim to help... You reserve the verbal abuse and reprimands for later when the patient is either safe (long term) or dead... period. Again, the kid suffers a "Fail" in the field reports, and may have mandatory repeat training, but you do your best for the patient... SO this Super' screwed up as much as his Student...
Panicked people don't think. That makes them prone to do STUPID things... That's why we have all the redundancies (especially in personnel) in first aid and rescue. ;o)
@@gnarthdarkanen7464 exactly
@@keonvneon Thanks for reading... I had to bring it up. Somebody needed to say something. It's just too easy to defame in hindsight when a student has to make the move from student to "pro" somewhere and somehow at sometime. There's no other way to do it.
Anyways, hope it was as interesting as it was informative in your opinion. ;o)
@@gnarthdarkanen7464 Yeah for real. Base instincts say “Undo thing” and well… yeah. Supervisor shouldn’t have screamed at the kid before the situation was handled
@@DeathnoteBB Yup... It seems to me, when I was in the military, and getting on the job training, all my super's would slowly let me take more and more autonomy or lead actions without being told before they'd say anything like, "Okay, the next one's yours"... The idea is that you still technically "supervise" but only correct when necessary... AND as the student shows he's capable most of the time anyway, THAT is when he's already comfortable just DOING the job... AND after that point, you can start saying, "You're the lead" or "You take point", because the only difference is the formality of filling out the paperwork.
I'm thinking this instructor wasn't so experienced at the process and tried to fast-track the student...
Of course, I could be mistaken... BUT it's a theory that won't leave me alone when I think about this case. ;o)
High school athlete, got to college on scholarship. Was on two different teams, and was a Phys Ed. major... He was going to be a trainer in the pro's... I knew him in his Junior Year... He was a good guy, and other than an occasional beer, he was about as straight-edge as it gets. AND by "occasional", we're talking about a once a year party... Sometimes for New Years, or another particular celebration, he'd drink, but beer was it and only one party a year.
SO he decided to join the party when about half of one of the Teams (Baseball, I think?) was going to graduate. There was a balcony and plenty of carousing in and outside, and then while he was out with a small handful of others, drinking and chatting, joking around... The railing around the balcony broke and three of them fell.
Only he landed on a large rock... becoming a parapalegic. At least, he was of age, so no legal trouble or "morality clause" consequences with the school... BUT Mister Phys. Ed. and an aspiring Sports Trainer was suddenly confined to a wheel-chair for the rest of his life... Depression set in...
As it happened, I'd managed (even though not Alaskan quality) to work a dog-sled and train some dogs for pulling... I was in a shared house (at the time) about four houses from his place... SO I spent summer (between elective classes and work-study on campus) setting up kennels and scouting for dogs I could get started... AND a couple of the other guys caught on, joined me in training them, once I explained how the program had to work... AND we managed to get a decent six-dog team together for our guy up the road, just in time for a New Year's party... He wasn't much in the mood to party most of the time, but he'd taken a big turn toward booze (dangerously)...
AND then we "kidnapped him" by showing off the snap-on rigging for his wheel-chair, which we then took turns RACING around the block while he screamed and laughed...
SO he very NEARLY ruined his life over that one day... AND in truth, he's never going to be a professional trainer... BUT a semi-pro' dog-sledder and trainer isn't too shabby... At least it kinda brought the booze back under control... We even took a collection around campus and took him out to dinner AFTER paying his first Speeding Ticket! {okay, that was just too funny}
Last I heard, he'd found a GF, and was part of a rescue in another state, helping rehab' dogs from shitty homes and confiscations. ;o)
Good for him, working with animals is a great way to heal
@@colleenross8752 Just finding a purpose that DOES something is a great way to heal. I just figured the dog-sled thing was a cool (if a tad goofy) trick to get him some advantage getting around... AND I've never shied away from a scar in my life. I've always leaned right in rather than try to hide something that shares my story with a visual...
SO instead of adapting a 4x4 to accommodate his wheel chair and let him feel more like a drain, why not build his character with a dog-team that gets around just as fast in winter as in summer... and only a few trimming and grooming bills for the summer work/weather balance...?
Anyway, you DO have a point. Animals are kind of like kids, giving us the power and will to step up and start healing ourselves. I was just glad to give him a hell of a case of windburn and exude a good laugh out of him... HE took off with the idea... so yeah, "Good for him!" ;o)
I worked at a truck stop in a really tiny town out in the middle of no where, one day we noticed the bus from the city had been delayed. I couldn't clock off until it had arrived, and this bus was rarely late. At first we thought it had broken down, but none of the trucks coming from that way had been through either. A guy in a car pulled in and explained there had been a accident involving 3 cars on the highway between our tiny town and the next one about 2 hours away, it was so bad that all large vehicles had to be stopped, and they had only manged to clear enough of the accident away to allow small cars to pass. My town found out only about an hour later that one of the cars had the local grandmothers who had been heading to the city to buy Christmas presents, the second car had a local teacher and his three kids, the third car was one of my classmates who had been speeding and was the cause of the accident and his best friend had also been in the car. 3 of the 5 grandmothers died on impact, 1 died on life support at the hospital, and the last grandmother broke her hip and back and lost mobility from the chest down. The local teacher and two of his three children had died, he died on impact, the two kids died on the way to the hospital, the last kid survived with little to no injury. My classmates best friend died on impact, and my classmate who had caused the accident survived with no injuries.
The next day I had to hug a 43 year old man as he broke down in the shop, his mother died in that accident, she had been the grandmother driving the other grandmothers.
The classmate who caused the accident and survived killed himself less than a week after this had all happened, in his note he said that his friend had been frightened and told him to slow down.
A little over a month later 5 local boys went for a fishing trip, they came back in the early hours of the morning because rain was about to set in and the tracks would close. None of the boys were wearing their seat belts, the the boy driving fell asleep at the wheel and veered off into a tree. He went through the windscreen and broke his neck colliding head on with another tree. His friends had all been sleeping in the car, one boy had hit the windscreen and was unresponsive, the three in the back woke up and found one of the friends dead, the other one unresponsive, and one had a broken leg. They were in a area with no cell phone reception, the last two boys that could walk had to take the only phone out of the five which still had any charge (which belonged to their dead friend, they had to get it out of his pocket) and walk for 10 kilometres in the dark with no light, to get phone reception so they could call for help. By the time help arrived, the unresponsive boy had died despite the boy with the broken legs best efforts, and he had gone into shock and was in a pretty bad way. All of these boys where aged between 17 and 20.
I knew these boys, and from that day on they just looked so lifeless. The boy who had broken his leg killed himself less than a year later, and one of the boys who left to get help killed himself shortly after.
And just to make things worse, between these two car accidents happening where 3 more fatal accidents in my small town. A four year old was crushed to death when a quad bike rolled on him, in front of his 7 year old brother, parents, and grandparents.
A young local man who had just turned 20 dove into the ocean to save his friend who had slipped and fallen in, she was drunk at the time and was a bad swimmer, but he hit the back of his head on the rock going in and never surfaced. His friends all got in the water and looked for him, divers found his body wedged under the rock he died on the next day, his eyes were still open so it was likely he didn't even realise he was about to die.
And lastly a house fire took the life of a two month old baby and her mother, leaving the father who was at work at the time. He killed himself shortly after.
My town has not been the same since.
You should move before that Final Destination shit finds where you live
where do you live? sounds like a cursed town.
@@realdex I don't live there anymore but its a tint rural town in the south west corner of Western Australia, the entire area is filled with roads only wide enough for horse and carriage, shotty cell phone reception and "black spots" where there is no reception at all for kilometres around. Major problem with the roads is the fact that this area is entirely made of large hills and valleys, and horse and cart roads have tons of curves in them so they gradually climb them, these roads aren't quite wide enough, stable enough, or guarded enough for more than 2 cars at a time, on multiple areas there are points that are only wide enough for one car, and there is a steep drop right outside your door. The amount of road accidents over the years from people taking a corner to fast is ridiculous, not to mention most roads as loose gravel and dirt which aren't so great when it comes to brakes. And if this wasn't bad enough, the trees in that area are some of the largest trees in the world with some of the most dense and hard wood that can be found on the planet, crash into one of those trees at high speed and people have been known to wrap their metal cars around the trunk and touch together on the other side, my father was in 11 car accidents like this in his life time. I wouldn't be surprised if the place was cursed, but I think its more so that people are stupid and they don't take road safety seriously enough for the condition is which they have to drive.
A movie needs to get made about this place. It will be Unrated in Australia. To play in the US, every scene outside your truck stop will be edited out. Hugh Jackman will win the Oscar.
Fires are nasty. When the Kyoto Animation arson occurred, experts later said that from the moment the felon got the fire going, occupants would have had 55 seconds to escape before passing out from monoxide poisoning. Whole country was in shock.
My cousin his stepson went to a bonfire party. My cousin told him if you’re not home by midnight Either don’t come home or you will get a beating. Stepson got into an accident and died. He regrets saying that to him to this day. He says now he wish that he was nicer to him.
It doesn't even take a day to rule someone's whole life. A fraction of a second is enough.
I knew a girl that failed some small practical test in a nursing program in her final year of a 6-year program on a Friday. Not a big deal the school said it was probably just nerves take it again on Monday. She decided to blow off some steam over the weekend but her boyfriend she was living with was working so she went out with some girlfriends. Don't know the details but between Friday night 8pm and Monday at around 6am she managed to rack up a few grand in cocaine debt, leave her bf for a coke dealer. Sell her car that wasn't her car (parents) and walked into her nursing retest so obviously wasted that they just sort of removed from the program without any real statement from the school.
The crazy part of all this is from what I know the "test" is sort of like a haha your a nurse now handshake tradition. You take your instructor's blood pressure, something you have done a thousand times by this point. Some people clap and ta da your done.
she would still need to pass the NCLEX in order to get her nursing license. I'm glad she didn't. It would be terrible if she put her future patients in danger or end up stealing drugs.
@Annistar I won't say it came out of nowhere but she really wasn't like that till literally the eve of her graduation. It was pretty shocking to watch it happen. She moved to another city and I think she is a bartender now. Never did ask her what the hell happened.
“Student freaks out and, you guessed it, puts the frikking knife back in.”
Sorry sir, you dropped this.
Just WTF?! I feel bad for the guy but I am so happy he’s not working on Emergency anything ever again...some people are not cut out for it, and the only way to discover that, unfortunately, is trial by fire. This one however was trial by TRIAL.
Lmao yeah, i learned to not pull out a knife or sharp object when i was 13, but like, if he just pulled it out then his life wouldn't have been ruined, he just wouldn't have a chance in the healthcare industry, but god, he PUT IT BACK, just HOW! How does that happen?! What's the thought process? did he never hear about this? I am so confused yet still feel really bad for the guy.
Yeah, not pulling the object from the body is pretty much the basic and repeated in many popular media even non emt knew that. I'm afraid he didn't listen to many things during his emt training
id just become a murderer after that cause after the first kill theres no going back
He’s a medical student. You shouldn’t feel bad for him at all because he should’ve known not to do that. Honestly what happened to him was definitely deserved. Someone like that probably shouldn’t be employed by anyone ever.
I had a coworker divorce his wife due to mental issues. Court awarded split custody due to his unfaithfulness. Turns out she had schizophrenia and killed both of their kids and then herself. We weren't close, but a bunch of us donated our vacation time so he could take some extra time to grieve as he had already used up many of his days off that year.
Seriously? Splitting custody just because one of them cheated? And they didn't bother to see if she was fit to handle the kids with him since she's known to be unstable? Hate to say it, but I wonder if the people that handled that case heard about it and are feeling differently about the issue.
@@Vernal_Skythe signs of schizophrenia may not have even been present. It's common for people with schizophrenia to begin displaying symptoms in their early 30s, enough to have a pre-established healthy family life. His unfaithfulness, being a traumatic situation, could have been what brought on the schizophrenia. Plus, ya know, being unfaithful can mean you're a fairly unfit parent as well.
Used to manage an apartment complex. Had a nice young guy living there. I don't know what his story was but he fell hard for the local floozie. After one date, they were living together (she was homeless, I'm sure). The next time I saw him, he was on drugs and drunk. She was acting more like his dealer than his girlfriend. His family must have horrified.
Yeah, when I found out my brother passed due to drunk driving, I was up watching DBZ and figured he should have been home since he went out with a girl the night prior.. it was 10am and the detectives or w/e knocked on the door.. I'm thinking he was got thrown into jail or was acting crazy.. We were super close, that was 9 years ago. Even when you cope, and move forward the effects will always linger in some way. He had just turned 21, 4 days prior
I used to work at a hospital as a security guard, I got called to the ER for a lock down for an arriving gunshot victim. I stood by the ER ambulance bay, the staff informed me it was now briefed as self inflicted. The EMTs arrived with a man missing the left side of his head still alive. The staff told me he was alive because he missed the part of the brain that controls breathing and organ function but destroyed the left side of his brain. Turned out he broke in to a gunshop, grabbed a shotgun loaded some bird shot and placed it in his mouth. When the shotguns off the rack he grabbed one off of, all fell. It spooked him leading him to fired at an angle. After the docs patched him up he was flown out, I had to escort him on a stretcher. When I sanitized the stretcher there was bits and pieces of matter. It was a small town so we all new where it took place. I found out weeks later the gunshop staff still find pieces of the mans skull and that the shotgun that was used is on sale.
I've heard of families that were destroyed because one family member committed suicide in their residence and their loved ones found the body. I'm sure they would have been destroyed by their deaths whether they found the bodies or not, but finding them added that extra dose of trauma, especially one where the son blew his head off with a shotgun while his parents were at work. People, if you are hell-bent on killing yourself, don't do it someplace where your loved ones will be the first people to find your bodies and don't do it in the place where they live as well.
8:38 Oh my god, that's horrible. I hope they get to live an actual full life and it isn't limited, but if they don't I hope an easy rest is poured on them.

The night that changed my world. My family were coming home from my mum and dad's honeymoon. My mum fell asleep in the van home, died in her sleep. She was 34 or 36 this was in 04 I was 9. The worst part was there was no history of illness she was just gone. And due to that fact and her being young they were whispers my dad did it and my mums accounts were frozen. Even to this day am 26 I can recall that night like it was yesterday. And now it just feels surreal, no real memories I have of her as I was very young. I miss you mum
It was about 4 years ago. I had a friend who was incredibly intelligent, he was in school to be an engineer. One night he got into a fight at a bar, came out with a gun, and shot 2 people to death. He will spend the rest of his life in jail. All because he couldn't control his temper.

I used to work as a police officer. One night when me and my rota partners were having our last supper we had a call about a young lad, approximately 21, that had made some threats of selfharm to his parents and ran away. On the way to the address we found out that I had dealt with the young lad the weekend before when he had been jumped on a night out outside a nightclub by a father and son and had quite the bad beating, so I knew him. When we arrived at the address we spread out to search for him, when a call came out over the radio by my sgt saying he'd found him in a shipping container they had on some land they owned behind their house. I took off sprinting to get there and saw my sgt holding up his body as he had hung himself from some rope that he had tied to a hook on the inside of the container. We cut him down and immeditately went into CPR. What I hadn't realized was that I had ran past the lads parents as I ran to the scene, and they had followed me there. His mother was a nurse, and they proceeded to watch us carry out CPR on their dead son for the next half an hour as we waited for paramedics to arrive. Turns out the assault from the weekend before, doubled with his girlfriend cheating on him was one step too far and he went and killed himself. I'm convinced to this day that she knew that he was dead before anyone else, and just couldn't bring herself to accept it.
I really can’t help but feel there is a lack of common sense in some of these situations.

I had a cousin on my dad's side suffer from depression. His mum was the only one who lived in the same state as me and my mom (parents seperated). I used to visit that house a lot and love spending time there when I was younger. One day, the cousin ended his life, but the method used was brutal: he burned himself alive which also burned the house down. Haven't been in contact since the funeral.
Its among my top day ruiners from having a toxic discord friend who was exposed to p-rn at age 9 (and became addicted), and a girl who I befriended on my first day at a new school suddenly becoming sour because her brother cut her hair with a knife.
I didn’t actually see this, just a story I heard, but still somewhat relating to the question. So this guy was a doctor and at some point during his shift he smelled barbecue and thought “oh cool, someone must have brought in barbecue as like an appreciation thing”, nope, there was a fire or something and the smell was of child burn victims. He left his profession I think and went to therapy. (Sorry if my story telling skills aren’t very good)
The story of the fire reminds me of a similar event my dad was in (when he was a kid) he was walking home when he noticed smoke coming from a house, he entered it and saw that the kids living in the house and their babysitter were napping, fortunately he was able to wake them up and called the fire department.

Girl from my school didn't stop at a stop sign before crossing the highway on her lil moped - she got hit by a semi and died instantly literally just trying to cut across the two lanes to get to another back road.
Not personally seen it, but a (now) former coworker was repairing his roof at home. He's the type who will say "Safety? Nah..." so at one point the scaffolding he stood on collapsed. He fell 5-6 metres down and a giant wooden spike penetrated his spine. Paralyzed from the chest down and spent several months in hospital. He's now a severely depressed alcoholic as the doctors told him he will never be able to walk again and is strapped to his wheelchair for life.
I never get people like the second guy who tried to be a hero with the robber. Just give them the money, it’s not worth losing your life over a few dollars. An empty cash register isn’t the end of the world and, if you’re a sensible workplace, petty cash would be transferred into an account regularly or kept in a safe. And on top of that, everything is insured anyway. That guy lost his junk over a few measly bucks....not smart.
im at least on par with the 5:38 story. 5 months before my father died from his accident, a year and a half of fighting the courts and then another few month to make sure we didnt lose our house bc they wanted to put a lean on it bc my dad didn't die before his insurance ran out. my life is semi back on track, but the hurt never leaves, and the memories never go away
I'm so sorry that happened to you, but I'm glad you kept your house.
@@ellasedits_ Heard of a different story with a bittersweet ending. Family had this loan with the insurance that if the breadwinner died, the remaining mortgage was cancelled. Bank honoured the contract when the man died prematurely (illness or heart attack, can't recall). Family still must've been devastated. A less serious case involved my teacher's pal becoming the guarantor for a friend. Teacher's pal ended up having to fork over hundreds of grands when the friend's company went bankrupt. I do believe the grateful friend tried helping as much as he could but it was still a blow to the guarantor's life savings. At least no one died, on the bright side.
One of my professors got popped for CP. I would imagine that probably ruined his life. His fault, though.

There was a bad car crash in my region. Ambulance was called. The crash was so bad that a 18yo girl died at the scene in her mother's arms.

How have you seen a person's life get ruined in a day?
Us army ad plays.
When I was in 4th grade a classmate was shot to death by a 16yo neighbor. Teen said they were playing DND and he didn't know the gun was loaded. At trial other kids testify he had pointed guns at them previously. He spends well over a decade in prison and upon release moves out of state. Ended up dying from cancer just a couple years after that. That was not the only murder (nor suicides) to take place at my school while I was there but he was one of the few friends I had at that time. And this was a small town of ~6000 over an hour drive from any city of significance.
I know a guy who got a dishonorable discharge (section 8.. which he didn't deserve, but was actually better for him than everything else they could have kicked him for). He was a total shitbird to begin with, but after that he has had zero chance to get anywhere in life. This was a couple decades ago and he is now back living with his parents. His brother also lives with them, but he got a Masters degree and moved back to helpt ake care of their father after a stroke. (Dad is doing pretty good, considering, btw. Just can't quite do everything for himself and his wife needs a bit of help with it)
Drunk driving. Enough said.
Drunk driver's are pretty fricking scary.
The very young son (I believe aged 3 or 4) of a couple my grandparents once knew drowned in one of the city's many creeks while the mother had some conversation with another woman, who happened to be the wife of their church's lead minister. Because of this, the victim's mother blamed the wife/minister/church and abandoned her faith.

we had a similar thing happened here in my town only except that you need to actually be of age to ride a horse in a parade. The reason why that was because a little girl was on a horse and fell off and was soon trampled by the other horses and her parents had lied about her age since she was actually younger than the required age. so not everybody a week and they double check to make sure that the child is of age. It’s been at least 13 years since it happened but hearing this one in particular is what reminded me of that incident.
Story at 4:10 reminds me of one by Mark Manson. He was getting pissed at kids screaming and running around while the father did nothing, until he found out the father was still studded by his wife's death at the hospital that same morning. Neither the man nor his kids knew what the heck to do, and Mark Manson felt horrible for getting pissed at the grieving family.
A girl I went to elementary school with lost her mother and sister in a car accident. About a year after I moved away(so about 4th grade for me). The whole family was driving early one morning, her mom fell asleep at the wheel and steered the car into a river. She and the younger daughter died, my classmate and her dad survived
I feel terrible for her and her father.
Half of their family gone in one fell swoop.
The babysitter couldn't stay awake for an hour?
That would be horrible to come home to.
Some of these stories are just horrible.
Obvious ones would be murdering people, depending on the type of work you do, being convicted of anything as job prospects after could be near impossible after, pissing off the wrong person and them retaliating and forever having medical problems, if you cheat and are found out can be life ruining for many reasons, your partner getting ptsd from the trauma, you losing the respect and trust of family and friends, etc. Doesnt take much to ruin your life, especially if you are cocky
So in second grade a kids dad had died in a fire, he did it while saving children from a fire and went back in to save the mother but ended up dieing in the fire. The mother had actually escaped and he didn't know it. The kid came back after and week and nobody spoke to him because they where scared he was gonna get mad at them. It was hard.
Poor kid
His dad died a hero though, so there’s that
@@beastmaster0934 yeah he was very alone and miserable for a while put he is okay now! And actually very up beat
Someone I knew swore at a teacher, never seen him since
A guy got divorce papers from his wife he had to move out the same day. She kept the house the kids the cars and the dog. The dog broke him.
Whatever happened to “due process”?
My brother had a stroke this year, he's recovering but he will never be the same he was before
Yes and no on a family falling apart over stealing. My husband has told me that if he ever found out I started stealing he'd leave me, however he'd have to fight me for the kids, half and half baby, momma ain't giving up no rights for whatever reason.
Just fyi: I'm not a thief, as much as robbing a bank could really help us out, it's not worth it and I have morals 🤷🏻♀️😂
Getting caught with CP sounds like an obviously good way to get your life rightfully ruined.
One of the teachers and varsity football coaches at my high school died a few weeks ago after losing a struggle with COVID.
My mom died about 6 or so years ago (i was 9 or 10, i don't remember because i blocked out a lot of the memories, i'm in therapy to deal with this) and it changed my whole world, so I can understand and imagine what they're going through, but at the same time I can't.
Death is inevitable, but still reaches into the depths of your soul and sticks a knife right where it's the most painful.
The day my sister had her foot degloved by a pickup truck. Was getting off the bus at school when it flew by way too close to the bus and was wearing flip flops. She was at college when this happened. I was home for the weekend from my school and was coming home from getting my morning Dunkin coffee. I made my way up the stairs and encountered my mom in the kitchen shaking and crying. She told me and I just sat down on my bed in shock. The next night I almost emailed my professor about an assignment I was going to take off because of what happened, but my dad said I was just using it as an excuse, and all the built up emotions over the last 48 hours just broke me and I fell onto my bathroom floor and sobbed uncontrollably. My parents thought I was having a psychotic breakdown, I thought I was going to have to go to a psych ward for a bit, because I was legitimately inconsolable. I slept that night with my mom (I was 18, I know, but my mom asked me) and we cried together. It was also the first time in my life I had witnessed my father sob. He had cried before (only time I saw it was when Kobe Bryant died), but he lost it on the way to drop me off at work. It isn’t necessarily a complete life ruiner, as my sister lived, but definitely a life altering moment, as she underwent over 20 surgeries in 2 weeks. The first nurse said there was a 70% chance they would have to amputate her foot, but luckily the damage was just below the threshold that would demand amputation. That was almost a year ago at this point, I remember the exact day: April 7, 2023. Good Friday. Worst fucking Easter ever, we spent the entire day at the hospital. My sister is such a fucking trooper. She is the strongest person I know. She takes it like a champ. She wasn’t able to use her Criminal Justice degree due to her injury, so she is working as a teacher and that will be her career. She hates talking about it, and I haven’t pressed her on the issue in ages. Lawsuit against the Town DPW (that the truck was apart of) is still in litigation, so that is all I can say.
My nephew became a S offender at 15 when he tried to R his half sister about 3yrs ago at thanksgiving. He was left alone and offered his half sister who was 5 at the time to play outside together and when her mom came out to check on them he was caught with his P out and she was bent over. According to her she wasn’t hurt and he had just offered to play leap frog and man did his dad smack him and yelled at him he couldn’t pick his head up he was ashamed of himself for what he attempted to do and he lost my love and respect that day and don’t care if i ever see him for the rest of my life. Just found out earlier this month from my god child he had made her uncomfortable about 6yrs prior but she she’s 14 at the moment and says he didn’t do anything too bad in a sense but he did plant a kiss on her. I had told him about what he did and told her if he sees him again and he tries anything because she’s now a beautiful woman and not a naive 8-9yr old and to go ahead and beat him up or report him. I asked her to squeeze my hand to check her strength and she cracked my hand it was strong so she’ll be able to be sure he never becomes a dad himself. She can fight too believe me a bully hit her in the eye last year for being a lesbian and instead of crying she got mad and chased after the homophobic bully. Even told her if anything happens that she can’t fight go ahead and break things to get attention from someone to help be it a new flatscreen tv or a PS5 i will happily pay to replace it because those things are only materials that can be replaced but her innocence can’t i love that lil girl too much to let her get hurt and live with the trama being taken advantage of must feel like i can’t imagine
“Quite a wombo combo to lay on the kid”
Wonderfully said
The person that got themself into a coma saving their child from a fire, only for their child to have died anyway. Do you think, in the deep dark night, in the lowest of low moments, they briefly think "I should have just left them to die"?
the EMS story with the knife was WILD. WTF
The missile one was like...wait what?! That took a left turn I didn't expect
Yeah! SCIENCE!
My Friend's entire life might be fucked.
He had a new girlfriend. She was living hotel to hotel. He told me he "stole" her from some dudes who were gangmembers.
They confronted my Friend but they were intimidated by him because he can fight and he also had a gun as well.
Well one day he leaves the hotel to see his kid and he gives her his wallet to hold in case she was hungry n needed food.
Those dudes(Maybe)go and shoot her in the face.
Cops arrest my friend because they found his wallet/ID on her. Was enough to arrest him.
On the video it shows him walking with her to the room and then him walking back....
Yea that's enough "evidence" to probably convict him.
But it does show then kissing n hugging so maybe that can help...idk
10:10 They should have yelled: "You gotta sign this first!"
Moving to another city ruined my life. Didn't go outside for 2 years. Lost all my friends
Guy I knew got married without a prenup..... He got screwed so hard in the divorce the stress caused a heart attack and he died, he kinda got the last laugh though as his death benefits (triple annual salary) went to his parents because he'd never updated the form with HR.
There is this guy I know work as a driver for school bus. He just buy his house, and basically no money left.
One day he got hit by a young couple (in their 20) in a motorcycle when driving the kids. The boy died immediately - mom is sick, young brother is like 10, no dad. the girl in a comma, an orphan, no relatives.
None of it was his fault, but he had to pay for the damage, some for the boy’s funeral, and the girl hospital’s bill.
The driver family just had the third child too.
"He and I were college students at a university"
That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
That second one. Is one of the million reasons you don’t fuck with someone who has a gun
