What is the most shocking thing you have seen in public lately?
I saw a dead body in the road today. I am still shocked and shaking over what I saw. Was walking to the grocery shop this afternoon here in Budapest and noticed the traffic going at a crawl. Police car were blocking the bus lane and a cameraman was walking around taking photos. The body was lying in the road in the bus lane covered in black garbage bags, a white bag was put over the head. A pile of blood was nearby. I at first thought that a film was being shot but soon knew it was too real to be a movie. What shocked my the most was people were eating in a sidewalk café only 10-15 ft. away, people were just walking past going about their business like it was an everyday thing to see a dead body in the road in the city. On my way back home I noticed a women on the sidewalk praying so I stood near here, bowed my head and gave a moment of silence. What would you do if you happened to see such a thing?

Hi Marilyn,
I really understand how you feel, I live in Latin America and have had to become more accustomed to this kind of thing as well having moved from Europe where I never ever saw anything like it.
Seeing dead peope in the road is really really bad, seeing a dead person under a bus, that is horrific, seeing dead people lying in the sun on the local beach after a drowning accident..... well there are no words , but the worst that I have seen is the guy whose face was smashed in after a collision with a car, and I have seen all of that in my time here as well as crowds of onlookers rubbernecking, thats the hardest part, the crowds when such things happen here so maybe the people who went about their business as normal as if nothing had happened, just didnt want to see, it is so tough to see a dead person like that especially when you are not prepared for it.
There have been a lot of dead deer around lately. I don't know why, but there are not usually this many. Some of them are headless, or just chunks of flesh strewn about. That's always shocking to me; just seeing a dead obliterated animal. At least cover it with a sheet, my god.
@Johnathan - She has perspective. It's just different from those of people in other countries. If people dead in the street isn't common where one is from, then seeing something like that wouldn't sit well with them. It's not her fault if her reaction isn't, "Oh, well, this happens every day in Afghanistan so I don't care if it happens here."
Oh Marilyn how awful, I recommend hot strong tea and a few very deep breaths. No I haven't come across anything quite so shocking in a long while thank goodness.
I would like to believe that I've seen worst. When I was 9 there's this old indian man shoved his penis at us children on our way to school. his penis was huge and I was tempted to give it a few strokes but then he started masturbating himself, in public. after a few moment several shots of *** exloded at my face. it was sweet~and that pedophile took us home and taught us something new :)
