An ex once cut her throat open to try and convince me to come back, never seen that much blood at one time before. She lived and I hope that she was institutionalized now, once she was stabilized I got the hell out of there at the first opportunity and haven't looked back.
Most disturbing thing you've ever seen in real life?

After reading all those posts I'm grateful the worst I've seen is roadkill squirrels. If my dad was writing this, he'd have stuff to say that could make anyone depressed.
One particularly disturbing thing I saw was a giant turtle next to the sea, rotting, with a massive egg half hanging out. Not sure waht species it was but it was huge and round, maybe 2 metres long and 1.5 wide and tall, with a 50cm-ish egg kind just, half sticking out... Turtles aren't supposed to be on that half of the island either. They're known for laying eggs in North Cyprus, not a rocky area in the south.

If you catch it early enough it is treatable, you just have to spend hours picking out maggots and cutting off the dead flesh. I work at a vets office which is where I see all the cases, and taking care of one or two pets is completely different from a farm full of sheep.WWmelb said:

a cat decided to die by my door. but me not leaving the house every day only noticed it when half of it was made of maggots. fun job to clean that up i tell you.
I second the relationship stuff, that's the stuff that f*cked me up the most.triggrhappy94 said:
I had anxiety attack for more than a year afterwards and I still sometimes get them.
Not pretty.
As for straight out violent and disturbing:
I saw a men get robbed in a street at knife-point when I was a child and could do nothing to help him.
I worked in a hospital for a while on a station with a great many senile patients.
We had patients who came with extremely bad injuries and some who came in such sorry states that the nurses refused to touch them without gloves.
For the more faint, it might also be worth mentioning, that, as a med student, I had to dissect a human body already and the process of transforming what once was a human being into nothing but mangled remains barely recognizable anymore might also be disturbing to some.
And the absolute worst thing I ever saw/experienced I will not share openly, mainly because it is just way too fucked up.
When I was 6 years old, we went boating on the 4th of July(on a large lake). On our way back, we saw an explosion come from another boat off in the distance(turns out that sparklers are poor substitutes for flashlights when working near fuel tanks). After we landed, I saw the bodies being taken ashore(there were survivors, but I didn't see them). The corpses were covered in burns and were pretty nasty to look at. Not a great way to go.
I must have been 15 years old at the time, and was in Montreal waiting for the metro to arrive. As the train approached, the man beside me decided today was the day he was going to jump in front of it.
At the ripe age of 16, I threw my first alcohol-infused party. My girlfriend at the time, who had gotten plastered, thought it a good idea to put on some heels and walk around the house. She fell and twisted her knee so that the kneecap was on the side of her leg.
When I was somewhere around 17 years old, a fight broke out on my street. Two guys were drunk and fighting, and there was a crowd of some 20 people standing around. One guy whips out a knife and stabs the other buddy twice.
I attended a party a few years back; a pool party to be exact. A friend thought it would be a good idea to jump from the house balcony in to the pool. Snapped his neck in the process.
This past thanksgiving (canadian thanksgiving), I woke up fairly early and stepped outside. From the porch, I was able to see over the fence and in to my neighbors backyard. It was then that I noticed that my neighbor had hung himself from a tree.
The first one was probably the most disturbing to see.

God, the worst I have seen IRL is dead animals hit by cars. I absolutely hate seeing (Most) animals suffering, those people who were talking about seeing cats who had been hit but not dead, I would absolutely hate that. But then there are people who have seen suicides or worst. God, I never want to see any of that stuff....
Jesus, you pepole have seen some terrible things. Ugh.
OT: Well, a motorcycle and its driver literally exploded in front of my home after hitting a fence. The accident itself wasn't that disturbing, though. All the bystanders gathering around the corpse and taking pictures of it like it was a local attraction were disturbing.

That's... sort of funny, actually. I have two that topped it to me. One I won't discuss here, but the other was an artillery piece failed spectacularly, and blew one of the gunners to kibble. The disturbing bit was that I got offered one of the guy's fingers as a souvenir by one of the squad.Rawne1980 said:
When i was around 12 years old two of my classmates managed to break an arm and a leg while playing with swings, it was on a school trip so we had to drive for a while until we reached a hospital, and i was sitting close to the one who broke his leg, he was kinda fat so there was a lot of meat and blood, i'm not sure how i managed not to vomit. And a 3 yo kid got run over by two cars next to my house, not sure how i forgot that..
My dad's brain hemorrhage:
Seeing my father in the hospital in the hospital when he was able to receive visitors with a tube in his neck and him making a horrifying sound as he attempted to breathe and the beeping of the hospital equipment was traumatizing.
He survived but it has traumatized me for live.
