Have you ever come across something that made you feel uncomfortable? It’s something that happens to all of us at some point, and it can be quite creepy.
When we witness something disgusting or out of place, we often feel compelled to share it with others. As the saying goes, “misery loves company,” and this is a prime example of that.
In the following 12 stories, you will hear about people who encountered outrageous situations. Maybe you even have a story of your own.
1. The Potent Potato Salad
We were having a barbecue party, and everyone brought a dish. My brother’s new girlfriend had prepared a homemade potato salad. It had a slightly odd taste, but it was delicious. However, the next day, everyone who had eaten from it got sick.
As I cleaned up later in the day, I noticed a horrible smell coming from the kitchen trash. When I opened it, I discovered packets of potato salad dressing hidden at the bottom. They were expired, and the stench was unbearable. Needless to say, I was both furious and grossed out.
8. The Food Court Incident
I witnessed a lady changing her baby’s diaper on a table in the crowded food court of a mall during Christmastime. Despite informing the custodial staff, they did nothing about it. It was a shocking lack of consideration for others.
9. The Hidden Stash
A homeless man arrived at our hospital with an abdominal abscess. As we attempted to clean his wound and assess the damage, we were horrified to discover that he had been hiding his money inside the abscess. He casually mentioned that he kept his money there to protect it from being stolen. It was a disturbing and unhygienic revelation.
10. The Subway Gum Chewer
While in the subway, a man in front of me hastily picked something up from the floor right next to my foot. To my disbelief, he put it in his mouth and started chewing on it. It turned out to be an old and stepped-on piece of gum that was stuck to the ground. It was both disgusting and mind-boggling.
11. The Burger Nightmare
I was eagerly waiting for my turn at a fast food joint, excited to enjoy my usual burger combo. However, as I unwrapped the burger, a foul smell wafted from the kitchen. Ignoring it, I proceeded to take a bite, only to find slimy tomatoes inside. To make matters worse, as I was about to complain, a cockroach scurried out from under the bun. I was horrified and completely lost my appetite.
12. The Rainy Feet
On my way home from school, I encountered a lady wearing flip-flops on a rainy day. What caught my attention were the deep fissures on the bottom of her feet, which allowed water to flow between them with every step. It was a rather unsettling sight.
These stories serve as a reminder that there are bizarre and revolting moments that can happen in everyday life. It’s important to share these experiences and remind ourselves that we are not alone in encountering the creepy and disgusting.
