Describe your biggest gross-out moments here:

[Bouncy Ball]

1. Went to a gynecologist when I was about 26 for a standard checkup. It was an Army hospital and the doctor was about 7,000 years old. He kept dropping instruments and I would kinda half sit up and say "Um, you're not going to use that now, are you?" and he'd go "oh, no" and get another.

Then as I was leaving, he got this really gross, smarmy look on his face and slurred, "Thanks for letting me....see you..."

There aren't words to describe how my skin crawled. And how I ran.

2. I was eating a bowl of Raisin Bran a few years back and my daughter said "Something's moving in the bowl, momma" and I looked down to see a jillion sugar ants everywhere, swimming, drowning, climbing on the flakes and whatnot.

Ug.

3. surfing slashdot

1. Mr. Goatse.cx
2. Tub Girl

If you don't know what I'm talking about, you don't want to know

4. My two worst...

I went on a call for a guy who hung himself in the barracks. This was North Carolina in June and it was HOT. Anyway, he'd hung himself on a Thursday and this was Tuesday, so he was decomposed pretty bad. We got him down and went to put him in the body bag. I had the head and shoulders end, and when I laid him down all the gasses that had been trapped in his stomach and lungs from the rope came out and nailed me dead in the face while I was inhaling. I bailed out of that room vomiting all the way. Only time I ever threw up on a call.

The second worst was a fire in an apartment. A woman died in the fire, and the firefighters just pulled her out of the apartment to get her out of the way. We put her in a body bag and took her down to the fire department so the coroner could examine her. She sat in the body bag for about 1 1/2 hours waiting for the coroner to get there, and apparently the body bag works quite well as a roasting bag. When we unzipped it for the coroner, she had plumped like a Ball Park Frank and split open from stem to stern. VERY unpleasant smell that was.

Those are the two worst I can remember at least.

9. Oh GOD.

Yours beat mine by about a jillion light years (I love hyperbole, can you tell?).

ICK!!!!

5. A colony of flour moths decided to move into a bag of Fudge Stripe Cookies

when we were on a trip.

I got home, grabbed a cookie, saw it wiggling.
Examined the rest of the bag. It was wiggling, too. Crawling with larvae and little cocoons and mature moths.

I haven't really been able to look at Fudge Stripe Cookies since (and I hope the poste with the similar name doesn't take my revulsion personally).

6. Let's just say...

...that when I toss my baby into the air, I keep my mouth closed. There's nothing like the taste of baby-vomit to ruin your day and keep you gagging for a week :puke:
