What a F'd up day this has been

[northcat_8]

Nice to see you got your $1024 worth! :P

No shit

[Doramius]

I don't take out my frustrations on my child. Not really my wife either, though I know that's what she is there for. I go to my comp. and play war games and annihilate other people. Or play a multiplayer game against a bunch of BOT players set to a hard level. I'll play until I win or get bored, and that takes a while. I feel much calmer then.

Reminds me of a small incident one of my brothers had
while alone an underground railway station.

A guy comes on the platform, half crawling, half
standing. After some minutes falling and standing
he suddenly collapsed in still heap. He looked drunk
but my brother went to check to make sure he was ok.

Sure enough the fumes are
thick but on checking his chest and airway
the guy had obviously ceased breathing.

So my brother clears the drunks airway
(tongue blocked) and places him in the
unconscious position as per the 1st aid manual.
He then runs and calls emergency and
comes back to check on the guy. He had
stopped breathing again so my brother re-cleared
his airway and resumed mouth to mouth.

A few puffs in, just as the paramedic arrives
at the other end of the platform, the drunk
throws up... right into my brothers mouth!!

My brother went berserk and started kicking.
The paramedic and his
assistant had to haul him off. My brother
broke free in his rage and was able to put the boot
a few more times into the guy's chest. According
to his account, there was a sound of "breaking twigs"
when he swung the boot.

My brother was pushed to the ground and held by the assistant.
The paramedic stabilized the guy and told my brother
that he had both saved the drunk and also near killed him.
They let my brother go, telling him that they were going to
report that he had fallen down some stairs - to account for
the smashed ribcage.

........yada yada yada.

Thanks for sharing that offline!

F.Y.I. - On this side of the earth, it's dinner time....or at least it was!

My pleasure. I was careful to keep a phlegmatic understated style
so as not to upset the sensitive. Food and OT is a poor mix
regardless.

Later I'll tell you about the decapitated head and the postal
incident.

I will use that story as my Number 1 reason NOT to help someone I don't know, especially if they are drunk as can be.

offline,
Did your brother somehow think the drunk guy did that on purpose?

I have two brothers. One, who is the hero of the above tale is kinda
like Northcat

As far as he was concerned his actions were just a reaction to
the situation. He claims he will never give such first aid again
to anyone who even looks like they have been drinking. He
knows that you can seal the mouth and use the nose or carry
a one way valve device. Still he is adamant. I'm not sure
I blame him. He cleaned up a lot of dead, dying and sick
people when he worked for the safety section of the
railways.

My first reaction was to be appalled that he went medieval on the drunk's ass like that. But after thinking about it, I'd have to reserve judgment until something similar happened to me. Having a drunk vomit in your mouth has to be the worst experience you could go through, short of passing a stone

[Doramius]

Imagine passing a kidney and gall stones simultaneously!

I've had someone vomit in my mouth, lucky it was my baby nephew and it was mostly mother's milk ( still kindda sick that it came from my sister). I also didn't get too much in the mouth. I was holding him over my head making funny noises with my mouth open. Not a good thing to do after a kid has eaten.

Most new fathers do that once

Another lesson you have to live through for it to sink in is with a boy baby, when you change the diaper and the cold air hits him ....duck

Be careful whacking off...you might accidently shoot the dog

Ahh...yep, been there, I was quick enough to dodge the spew, it missed my face but landed on my shirt....only did that once, I'm a quick learner

My son christened me on the cheek before. Now that he's older, we give him a warm bath, when he's done he usually stands up and then opens the pumps. My wife likes to let our son run around naked for a minute or 2 after changing a really wet diaper. The problem is he usually runs all around the house with a "leaky faucet". We now have someone come once a month to clean the carpets & the sofas. (It's not the same company we used in my previous RANT )

And who does she hire to clean up after you Doramius?

[Doramius]

Only my friends need to worry about calling a cleaners. (also refering to a previous RANT)
