My buddy owns a couple apartment complexes consisting of 90 units total. In the winter (off season for me) he throws me some work. Remodeling empty apartments, general maintenance, snow removal etc.... Pretty good gig and good money for a couple months. Anyway he noticed this car that hasnt' moved in a couple weeks. There are others in the parking lot snowed in but he knows who goes south and who stays. He was sure this tenant should be here. So he calls the tenants brother and the brother says he's been trying to reach him and hasnt' been able to get a hold of him. Hmmmm. My buddy really didn't want to go "investigate" the situation for fear of what it might be. I told him I dont' care I'd check it out. Knocked on the door a few times and yelled his name. Nothing. Opened the door, took a few steps and sure enough he was laying in the bedroom dead. Not sure how long he'd been there, but looked like awhile. Anyone else ever come across a dead body?
Ewww. Can't say as I have. I think it's safe to say we all have a fairly good chance of it happening at least once in our lives though.
Guy across the hall from me in college off'd himself...VA cut his money or something and he pill'd up and out, sad. Sat for like 3 weeks in the Fl heat. so the building manager opens all his windows and such - and the cross draft wafts dead body smell into my apartment for weeks... We drank a lot of beer to get over it.
I know a few guys that I used to work with that did highway maintenance here in IL that found a body in a ditch one day... from their experience, if I came across one someday, Imma keep walkin and keep the mouth shut as well... in a murder investigation the guy that finds the body is often one of teh initial suspects... not a fun place to be...
sometimes living in a rural area means driving up on a accident and being forced into a first responder situation, But i can say with ease i would rather find them dead then begging for life or death in the last minutes and thats been some of my toughest things to try and get over.most were before cell phones back in the 70's when a accident was a 4-5 hour deal. I live on a bad stretch of road and people crash in front of my house a few times a year,and if they can make it, mine is the first house and i hate to here the door bell at 3 am.
Can't say that I ever have, and I don't really ever want to. I think it would just give a weird feeling.
Yeah it was pretty freaky. I had a decent feeling of what I might find walking in and it was still a really weird feeling. Just a strange feeling stuck with me for the rest of the day and night. Not like horrified or traumatic....... just weird. That's next level funny right there.
As a Matter of fact the first one I found, I was walking home from the archery range. A wrench went bouncing across the a yard as I walked past and I thought, where did that come from? Then I seen him pinned under the car, the jack had sliped. The last thing he ever did was throw the wrench to get my attention.
I dont follow. The wrench part just made me think of my favorite line from the movie Dodgeball. Did I spell something wrong again?
I thought you were trying to say I spelled wrench wrong. Now that were on the subject a wrench is easier to get away from than a bat, a bat is hard to get away from. But a wrench will leave a welt if it gets you!
