I'm curious as to what happenings in public have shocked you the most and how you reacted to them.

On my way to school many moons ago, I saw two kids crossing the road holding each others hands. Presumably they were brothers; older one must have been around 12 and the younger about 7. The youngest one was slightly trailing behind him as they were both crossing. Just as little'un just got onto the pavement, a car completely takes out this boy's legs and he goes flying into someone's front garden whilst clipping the brick wall. He also took his older brother with him as he was still holding his hand. The impact against the wall echoed down the whole street. Our bus swerved and nearly toppled because the driver also saw it. Our driver then immediately stops and jumped out with a couple of other passengers to help the two kids. The youngest boy was completely conscious but his leg was at a right angle - no screaming but in complete shock but the oldest was out cold. Bus driver and these other passengers start putting them in recovery positions, patching up their wounds and covering them up using their own clothes whilst also re-directing the traffic. By the time ambulances turned up the eldest regained conscious. It was wild! This happened around 15 years ago and I still think about it once every couple of months

I was in the Police for 20 years in England. Stumbled across a 12 year old girl who had been stabbed in the throat, I was on foot patrol, the call hadn't even come in, had been stabbed in the throat, watched bright pink frothy blood spill out her mouth and she died. Glazed expression in her eyes as everyone tried to help. I think she knew she was going to die.

2 women sat in a Morrisons cafe eating sandwiches. One of them had a baby. The other lady sniffed and said I think baby needs changing. The baby’s mother then put her hand down inside the baby’s nappy and pulled her hand back out, literally covered in poo. She said, yes I’ll do it in a minute. She then gave her hand a cursory wipe on a paper napkin (which she put down on the table) and then picked up her sandwich with the same hand and carried on eating it 🤮

Thrice now I've seen somebody whip everything off their baby and change their nappy on the seat or table in the middle of a coffee shop/restaurant. All three times, staff just let it happen and didn't give a fuck. I am genuinely so suspicious of pretty much every cafe or restaurant I go to now.

I was on a coach on a philosophy trip to see the art galleries in Paris when I was in college and my teachers were talking about all sorts of stuff, I wanted to listen in on their debates and conversations to improve my argument skills and they got onto the topic of parenting. My female teacher explained that one time her baby had done this really weird poo and she was overcome with the desire to eat it. I was horrified, but all of them were like no, that's normal, you'll understand if you have kids. I'm still traumatised over a decade later.

A few things come to mind. When I was driving once at night the car in front of me ran in to a lady on her bike (no lights) and she hit the windscreen and rolled over the roof and I managed to stop in time as to not run her over again. All witnessed by her young child, not sure if she survived. Another time when I was in Hull I saw a rather grey looking man smoking a cigarette through a hole in his neck.

Absolutely not. I’ll fill in some gaps for those that want to know. It was of a time when mobile phones weren’t as popular. There was a Small police station in the school grounds of a local high school about 1/4 mile from the accident. I just ran to the station and told them what happened. By the time I got back to the car an ambulance was turning up as a person from a nearby house had called. The young child was been comforted by other people as I was questioned by the police.

I'm assuming there's more to the story that OP just isn't stating for brevity, because to be fair who the hell would assume they'd leave a distraught child and injured woman in the street. Alternatively other people could have already been assisting. Too many people on a scene isn't helpful. Basically there's a number of other explanations before the most uncharitable one.

I saw a motorcyclist overtaking the queue of traffic I was in, about 3 cars ahead was a junction. Car pulls out of the junction and he’s turning right. Motorcyclist hits the rear of the car and goes flying over the top. He tried to take it to court but it seems like all the witnesses said it was his fault for overtaking so it was dropped the day before.

Oh, if we're doing bike accidents, there's the time I came round a bend to to see a friend (who I was riding with)'s bike embedded in the front of a car on the other side of the road.

My husband was taken off his bike aged 12 by a lorry driver. Guy was done for dangerous driving and unsafe load, this was late 1970s; if it had happened today hubby would’ve got one hell of a payout. Lost four front teeth, and the idiot police took his mangled bike home to his mother, you can imagine what she must’ve thought when she opened the door to that. Coincidentally my dad also lost his front teeth, leaning forward to pull some grass out of the wheel and it caught his arm and flipped him over the handlebars

I was once in a bar in Glasgow and saw a guy injecting Guinness straight into his stomach. Like a massive syringe which he'd fill from the glass, then connect to some kind of portal on his abdomen. I just wondered why he was paying for something vaguely premium like Guinness when it's not like he'd be tasting it.

In Glasgow I saw a guy repeatedly slapping/hitting his girlfriend.

The other thing I saw was a guy take an explosive shit in a phone box in Munich. I just did a 180 and walked the other way.

Didn’t witness this but a friend related the story to me. Sitting on a train she notes a young lady taking her seat on an empty table of four where she proceeds to nod off. A very unclean looking hobo joins the train and sits opposite. He hacks and coughs a bit and eventually and a very large yellow-green gobbet of phlegm flies across and lands on the lapels of young ladies jacket. Hobo alights. Young lady wakes up at some point and is mortified to see grog on her lapel and immediately eats it to ā€˜hide’ the evidence as she thinks she’s grogged on herself. Friend doesn’t have the heart to tell her what actually happened.

We’ve had an issue with some guys coming to use our work carpark to take a shit recently. It’s weird, they come during the day when there’s are people around. One started squatting in full view of a window to the boardroom during a large meeting so there were around 20 people who could see. It’s also a town centre office and only about 2 mins walk to the nearest shopping centre (complete with toilets on the shopping centre) and they always come in the day when the centre is open. I just do not understand how an office carpark is preferable to the shopping centre toilets.

The M4 squirter. On our way back from a job we were on the motorway in crawling traffic. As we went past a slip road we noticed that there were two cars pulled over on our hard shoulder just after the turn off. The guy in the first car had opened his passenger doors and was standing at the back of his car looking sheepishly at the ground. Then as we crawled past the second car, also with doors open, there was a guy in his mid fifties, with a grey sweaty complexion, trousers and pants down to his ankles, bent forward with a hand on each arse cheek spreading them as wide as possible, and a black, arcing jet of liquid shit was squirting out of him across the verge. I'll never forget the expression on his face, or that of people looking down from the queue of cars on the slip road directly behind him.

Ha! Maybe. They definitely looked like they were travelling in convoy. They were either related or worked together. The guy in the first car was a lot younger and I think he'd been following and was called on his phone by other driver saying he didn't feel well and needed to pullover. Then I think they decided to open the car doors to try and block the oncoming traffic from seeing anything. Unfortunately they'd forgotten about the slip lane behind them! He must've been very sick or had food poisoning. It was like he'd struck oil !!

There's a bridge over the brook, under this bridge was a smaller bridge for people, on one occasion I hoisted myself up to see over the side and that's when I saw two people fucking, ~~eventually~~ almost immediately the woman saw me and said "Jesus, stop, there's a kid watching us" it was like 3d hedgerow porn

I have a horrible feeling I might actually be the perpetrator of someone's 'shocking thing'. There are a lot of public pissing and shitting stories here. So my spouse and I were on holiday and there was a 3 hour coach transfer from the resort back to the airport. Part of this journey involved crossing a narrow, single lane bridge over a very deep gorge. It was a mountain region with few alternative routes. We leave the resort at like 4am, expecting to reach the airport by 8 (they had multiple stops to collect passengers) for the flight out at 10.30ish. As we approach the vertiginous bridge , traffic is at a standstill. Coach pulls to a stop. Stuck in the middle of this single lane bridge, over a high, impassable gorge, is a small truck. On it's side. Hanging partway off the bridge at the back. It's cargo of what appeared to be fruit and veg scattered in the road. We're going nowhere any time soon. Traffic begins to build. Emergency services are blocking both ends of the bridge but seem to have no idea how to remove this jackknifed, rolled over truck. We sit there for another hour. At this point we're worrying about our flight, but we've been on the road since 4am and it's now pretty close to 8am. We're all needing a wee. The coach did not have a toilet. Next to the road there is a rock wall. The guys get off the coach and line up along the wall to piss. At this point we're desperate. So a group of us hatch a plan to form a 'woman wall' with our ski jackets and plan to use the side of the coach to shield our modesty (so, facing the Rock wall the blokes had pissed against). So we gather, hold our coats in a circle, and one at a time squat down, leaning against the coach and let the waters flow (camber of the road meant it was draining off the road into the Rock wall area ). We get back on the coach, relieved. Until we notice that the giant wing mirrors on the side of the coach were showing all occupants on that side as well as a significant portion of the assembled, standstill traffic, a perfect view of us having a little pissing party on the side of the road. So yeah, I participated in a group pissing that probably either traumatised or titillated a standstill tailback of French traffic.

First time in Leeds,Friday night. Woman bundles out of pub with a large man,they're screaming at each other,she shoves him,he grabs her top,ripping it and exposing a tit. She responds by slapping him,he clocks her full on in the mouth and lays her out,where it transpires she's not wearing any pants. Which was a good thing,as she then proceeded to shit herself while sparked out and spread-eagled on the floor.

Saw two tramps passed out on a bench in town. The female tramp had slid down a bit with her legs splayed and her skirt had hitched up revealing that her thong was on backwards and her front wedgie was on full display with her crusty, spiky haired pussy lips bulging either side. The other morning I saw a fox crawling across the duel carriageway dragging its crushed back half. The pained, panicked expression on its face was awful. I saw a bus drive past me full of people and kids as it was just after school. There were two tramps on the top deck at the back and one was standing up face fucking the other. I can't confirm if they were male/female or both male.

I was about 8 (late 70s) and in the car with my dad. We pulled up to a junction to cross a dual carriageway and my dad suddenly said "Don't look". And what do you do when anyone says that?! Yeah, you look... We must have just pulled up to the junction seconds after an RTA. The driver of the car I could see was hanging out of the side window and there were rivers of blood running down the door. Not me, but an acquaintance was having works drinks in a bar in the city on Christmas Eve. Sat in the window and suddenly a man lands on the pavement right outside the window. He was a solicitor who decided Christmas was a good time to throw himself out of a window above the bar. Dead on impact. I spent a couple of weeks in Leeds General Infirmary back in the summer. I was sat in my wheelchair outside the Jubilee Wing and a young girl, who didn't look well at all, was in her adapted chair, with her carer sat on the bench next to me. Suddenly the girl had a massive epileptic seizure, tipped the chair and landed on the paving. Doctors and nurses appeared from everywhere. A foreign family, 2 adults, 2 small kids, who were parked to the side of where we were and were actually leaving the hospital, came back from their car, basically stood over the girl and started staring. Staff asked them to move several times. I asked them to move too. They went to the car, loaded the kids in and came back to stare and video the event, before the privacy screens were wheeled out. I said I'd move, but I was asked to stay put as I was actually blocking the view from one side. That poor girl had the indignity of this awful family, mouths open, gawping at her as if she was something totally revolting. It really upset me for a couple of days, as I thought she was going to die and I didn't actually know if she'd survived. She looked close to death. Saw her a couple of days later, having a coffee and she looked fantastic! It was nice to see her looking so well. As for that family, words fail me 😔 Mid 70s, our family dog, a Westie, shot out of the car when we pulled up outside our house at about half ten at night. Mum had only just got hold of his lead, when he spotted a cat and went to bolt after it. Straight across the road, straight under the wheels of a Jag. I threw up there and then. The car stopped, our dog picked himself up, shook himself off, not a scratch on him!!! How he wasn't injured or killed I have no idea! That screech of brakes has stayed with me for nearly 50 years. Awful.

There midfielder gets sent off for an awful tackle - and then throwing a punch at one of our lads. Off he goes - only to appear 5 minutes later in his car - trying to run us all over. He had his 10 year old son in the front of the car who looked as equally terrified as we were being chased around the pitch - we were so fortunate that he didnt hit anybody as eventually he drove off - but it was truely shocking.

On holiday in Bulgaria when I was 8 or 9, so 1983 or 84. I was on the beach with my parents, and while they were sunbathing, I was watching the parasailers take off from the beach, towed behind a speedboat. This was a common sight, but as I watched this particular flight, just as the guy got to the maximum altitude, he fell. Either the harness failed, or he released it, or cut it, we never did find out. I saw him fall and his legs and arms were windmilling as he fell. He dropped behind the beach umbrellas, and it was a few hundred meters away, so I didn't see him hit the water. I remember grabbing the book out of my Dad's hand and saying "someone just fell from a parasail!". He sat up and looked, as did almost everyone else in the area. The beach went very quiet, and the canopy was just hanging in the air, with the straps dangling under it. It seemed like ages till the noise of the beach started again, but this time it was people shouting and screaming, and running toward the site. An ambulance siren was heard a few minutes later, and police were cordoning off that part of the beach. What's even more memorable was that the other parasail operators on the beach started flying again almost straight away. It's still vivid now.

About ten years ago, I went through this weird period where three separate people in completely different places suddenly had seizures only feet away from me in the space of about a week. The first was an old guy in my local Costa who suddenly collapsed directly onto my table and started shaking. The second was a teenager a few spots in front of me in a queue at a bakery in Leeds and the third one was a pregnant lady sitting at a table in another local cafe. Easily the freakiest week of my life, and I seriously started to worry at some point that I was giving off some kind of electric field which was triggering epilepsy in people or something.

I went to uni in Salford. Our first week of second year, when most people move off the campus into private digs, I walked a friend back to his new house. On the way there, we tried to make a cut through down some steps, but it was blocked by two people shooting up in the middle of the day. We went a different way in the end. That same day, I was almost mugged twice by the same group of people riding around on mopeds while I was walking home. The second time, I found someone to walk with who had a fairly large dog.

Two homeless people having sex in broad daylight on the street in Phnom Penh. Old woman at the bus stop in Hackney again Brad daylight, shits herself badly, it runs down her leg. She tries wiping it up with a tissue, it only makes things worse, she’s only just got to the bus stop but she walks home. I was on a passing bus, we made eye contact, it broke my fucking heart. Knife fight jn Hackney between four kids coming out of a betting shop. Knives bigger than their heads, kids being slashed up badly. Yeah, I walked away from that and, the only time I’ve ever felt compelled to call the police. My friend Stumpy on his 21st birthday at Sidmouth Folk Festival, drunk as you like, eating a chicken kebab. Vomited onto the floor and proceeded to pick out the bits of chicken and eat them again. Maaaaate.

I work in the NHS. I was coming back from work and a bloke was having a massive go at his elderly mum, who he was picking up from the hospital, about how she was useless for ending up in hospital and how he did not want to care for her. Unfortunately for him, the idiot was doing this opposite the building works we are having done and a few builders took offence at what he was doing. While I sadly suspect he continued berating his mum where no one could see or hear him, a few Eastern European builders certainly had him quivering for his actions for a few minutes.

This is a bit of a long one but I promise its fucking wild. So I was probably about 8 or 9 years old at the time, and near where we lived there was a big park where all the local kids would hang out. There was this couple with a baby that would go down there all the time and they were always shouting at each other and arguing. Often the police would have to come and intervene. One time, the lady was sat with the baby on this bench. And the fella was being drunk and acting silly for all the other little kids, playful like. Then out of nowhere the lady just whacks him. Like propper belts him one, blindside. And il never forget he made this "uh uh" noise (a bit like "our survey says.." buzzer) and just turned round and lamped her straight back. Baby in her arms and all. Then she put the baby down on the bench, pulled out a rolling pin (i know right, wtf) and she started clobbering the guy with it. Now somewhere in all of this, the local policeman has walked by, seen the ruckus and immediately come over, waving his truncheon (it was the 80s) and he breaks it up. Then the woman, starts hitting the copper...wait for it...with the fucking baby! Like swinging it by its ankle like a club. Then a crocodile came along and ate all the sausages! Absolute madness.

I was at a fair when I was like 14/15 or something and some crazy dude smashed a bottle and was trying to glass people. We just stayed at a safe distance as did everyone else so when he ran and lunged at a certain group we ran the opposite way. The police eventually arrived and took him away. No one was injured but it wasn't for lack of trying. Also saw a kid get wiped out by a car, he must have skidded like 20/30 feet on his back along the road. He was running to the shop at the time and had lots of coins in his hand. They went spraying everywhere and will never forget this other kid rushing to grab it. At first I thought he was with the other kid but no, he ran into the shop and spent it on sweets. Saw another guy get wiped out when I was sat in a restaurant. Same thing, dude was running across the road and got hit badly. Some passers by thought it was a good idea to move him off the road. As soon as they lifted him and put him down his legs started twitched around like crazy. Here I was in this restaurant behind a big glass window saying "don't fucking move him you bloody idiots, he's probably broken his neck" but there was no way I could do anything. One thing that struck me badly was the London Bombings. I was there at the time and my friends hangover saved us from stepping on the tube that was eventually bombed. We were literally in the tube station walking to get on that very tube a couple of minutes before it exploded and he said "mate, do you mind not catching the tube today, I think I will be sick with the air down here" so we turned around and caught a bus. I didn't see any of the bombings but I saw the aftermath, but watching the news afterwards was the shocking part especially when they announced the tube we were supposed to be on was one that was blown up literally a couple of minutes after we turned around. It was blew up one stop after the one we were getting on too so the timing was bang on.

Working in a shop in the town centre my mate pointed out the window, at 2 drunk homeless men sat on a bench, arguing over a bottle of wine. Eventually they shared it, then one put his arm around the other, and reached into his pants, and proceeded to wank him off. The recipient, then fell asleep in the arms of the other guy. The other guy then reached into the sleeping blokes sock, and took a wad of money, that must have been kept there for safety, and ran off.

I was once in a public park in Berlin and there was a very tanned homeless man asleep on the floor. He didn’t move all morning but this wasn’t necessarily unusual considering the amount of homeless people in the city. I went to the toilet and then I came back he had a sheet over him and police there. Dude was dead the whole time while we all had picnics and did yoga within sight of him. Poor guy.

UK. Around 2010. A small group of a backpatch motorcycle club came into a pub. One was wearing a long leather trench coat. As he turned to sit down, his jacket popped open and could see what looked like a shotgun hanging on a strap over one shoulder. Nothing happened but it was sketchy AF. It was about the time there was news about a turf war going on and someone got shot riding back from a well known biker rally.

I used to workk an evening shift. And would walk to work. One afternoon I left my flat and set off. On the way, I passed an old back street pub. An old geezer, in his 70s, clearly pissed. Came out of the pub door, dropped his trousers and pants and started pissing against a parked car. Then he fell over forward and... Died. Just conked out in the road. A couple of people came out of the pub and I came over to see what was going on. An ambulance came but he was stone dead.

A man drunk on the train, decides he needs a wee. When the doors opened at the next stop, he whips it out and starts weeing out of the door onto the platform. Of course, the doors close and he’s still weeing. Inside the train. I made sure to use another set of doors to leave. Walking along a road in central London, can see a bundle of clothes and a parking meter shaking wildly. As we get closer, we realise it is, in fact, 2 homeless people having sex against the meter. Sitting in a weatherspoons in Shepherds Bush, and whilst watching the world go by out the window, see the police approach a hot dog van or similar on the middle traffic island, pull out some tools and just start dismantling the entire thing. Went on for a while.

A carjacking at school when I was about 7yrs old. My mother was driving us to school and we were at T junction 30secs or so from the entrance when a friend’s car drove by at very high speed with another car right on its tail. We pulled up in the car park behind them and as the kids got out these guys got out of the other car with weapons. The kids ran off and I assume the parent too (this was 30+yrs ago). A guy jumped in the car (a Mercedes E Class, if I recall) and they both drove off at high speed. I gave the police a statement as I remembered the number plate of the bad guy vehicle.

Not in the UK but when I lived abroad - I went to the park on my lunchbreak to walk my dog, this was right in the city centre. A (I assume) homeless woman scared the shit out of my dog as we went past her. On the way back I saw her again and she was stood on a bench facing backwards with her legs as far apart as she could taking a massive piss all over the bench. There were people all around her, walking past or eating their lunch on the grass etc.

She said, no, it's okay, and squatted down. I was wondering what she would do with the bottle/cup of piss once she was done... There was no container. She had just pissed on the wooden floor.

2 stick out to me, was on a bus in Leeds and saw 2 junkies fighting on the top deck and one ended up throwing the other one over the barrier, down the stairs and just sat back down, the fella that got launched didn’t move for a few seconds but then just got up. The bus driver didn’t even stop, they just carried on to the next stop, opened the doors and shouted ā€œdo you want out of the ringā€ and this fella got off the bus. Was funny at the end but quite shocking at first 2nd thing, saw a neighbour getting hit by a car at a decent speed in a housing estate, think it was a drug dispute or something but these lads were fighting and one of them got in a car and reversed down the road then floored it in first towards the other 2 and one managed to dive out of the way but the other got clipped and launched like a frisbee a few feet down the road. Car drove off and he got up and hobbled his way back inside, saw him a few days after on crutches, could’ve been a lot worse

I saw a guy get both of legs crushed in a car accident. I guess I did not really see it but his legs went into an area that no longer really existed as it had been totally crushed and there was a lot of blood leaking out of the bottom of the car. This happened outside an office I was working in. Heard a load bang and the crash had happened outside the window. A few of us rushed out to try and help but there was nothing we could really do but wait for emergency services to arrive. The guy with the crushed legs apparently died in hospital.

I saw the aftermath of a stabbing which was very shocking. Some people had been having a private party, I think a birthday, at a venue I was in. I was a student and just playing a bit of pool with two friends in another area downstairs when absolute chaos erupted.Ā  It was weird because obviously we didn’t know what happened at first, but there was just this indescribable energy in the air. Like the type of force of a marching parade going past. Just loud commotion and feet running and stomping above. Then one guy who worked there came dashing over and said something like ā€œsomeone’s got a knife upstairs, they’re closing the place nowā€. We bailed out and I saw this man like trying to get down the stairs but was hurt and slumped against the wall near the top. Got outside and people just crying and screaming. Some blood too and I thought maybe these people were hurt. Then it erupted again as another man was leaving whilst a few tried to fight him. I found out later it was the attacker and he’d basically got in a waiting car and drove off. All happened between family and friends for some reason. Police showed up and I ended up having to talk to them days later, although it went no further my end as I guess I couldn’t add anything particular. The guy did die, but I can’t remember the outcome for the person that killed him.Ā
