The most disturbing thing youve seen/experienced

A few years ago, my wife and I wanted to remodel our house. The area we live in is extremely expensive and it was much easier to rebuild on what we had than buy new.

It was tough to find a contractor to help us out, once again contractors in our area are making money hand over fist. We knew what we wanted and even had rough floor plans but we needed somebody to help us with the details.

In cam this guy. Down to earth, reasonable, seemed to be exactly what we wanted and was willing to work with us. The first meeting was great we both really liked the guy and gave him a few hundred bucks to do draw up what we had.

That was the last we heard from him.

Several months go buy. Phone calls go unanswered and eventually the voicemail is full.

On a whim I star checking obituaries in the paper to see if something happened. I don't find him, but I do find his mother.

Evidently shortly after meeting with us he went home and brutally beat his mother to death. He then just sat in his house for I guess was weeks. A neighbor finally called the police because mail was piling up. The police arrived and he answered the door still in the same blood crusted clothes. They asked if he was okay and to let them in. He refused at first but then said his mother wasn't okay. That was an understatement, she had been dead for quite some time.

A few months later I got about half the deposit back from his lawyer. She said he was trying to make amends from prison.

It shook my wife up quite a bit and I'll admit that being with someone right before they snapped freaked me out too.

But what really gets me is that after about the third phone call, I wasn't leaving the nicest messages on his voicemail. And although its speculation, the psycho probably sat there and listened to everything I said.

I made a note to myself that in the future its probably not a good idea to provoke convicted killers.

Most Disturbing.
One of my uncles was hit by a drunk driver (her second DUI in as many weeks) while he was riding a motorcycle. She went left of center and sheared his left side off. The motorcyle was a perfect save for one missing peg. I remember seeing him in the hospital. The doctor said that we should say goodbye. When we walked in all of his insides were in, what I can only call, a giant zip top bag. The staff was simply waiting for him to stop living. This is not to say that they hadnt tried to save him...there is only so much you can do though.

My mom looked down to her brother after everyone else had made their peace and said "Jerry, in 41 years you have never done a damn thing anyone has ever expected you to do. So if youre going to die, then die...if not then beat this." May I die now if Im telling falsehoods, his vitals jumped. Hes still alive today, missing some parts, but alive nontheless.

As for everyone else, I truely hope that the most disturbing thing in your life has already passed. Were all in this together.

For me, one night around 3am when I was half asleep I got a phone call from I guess some kids? I wasn't really sure, but it sounded like a voice in an errie horror movie on the other end of the phone and it freaked me out. I said hello hello but the voice kept going and if it was kids they didnt laugh or anything. It might have been a voice remixer(?) or something. I didnt sleep for the rest of the night. I tried *69




Most Inspiring.
For me, after a few months of training, running about 25 miles a week in 1998. I ran the Marine Corps Marathon in around 4 hours. It was hot around 76 F hot. I got dehydrated cause I had coffee in the morning. I walked the last few miles but ran across the finish line when my dad cheered me on from the side near the Marine memorial in Virginia.
 

My most disturbing experience followed an overdose of MDMA.

I couldn't pee. And I'd been guzzling water all night. For six hours, I languished in pain. On top of that, my brain was chemically imbalanced toward depression, all of my "good feelings" neurotransmitters spent in the previous evening's rolling.

The next three days were hell.

I haven't taken E since.
