First impressions aren’t everything, but they can massively impact how you see strangers. Take, for instance, nasty behavior in public. It is hard not to judge someone who acts in such a shocking way that you still have nightmares about it years later.

Friend and I were riding our bikes down this back road and a car comes screeching around the corner. It passes us and slams on the brakes. We stop.

We see the driver viciously punching the passenger for 15 seconds and then exits the driver's door.

He goes around the car to the passenger side and takes a limp females body out and throws it into the trunk.

He gets back in the car and drives away.

This was in the 90s so no cell phone or anything. My friend and I stood there in shock for a while.

Still think about it.

A smiling man hugging another person, showing a moment of connection amidst challenging public horror stories.
When I was a kid in like 4th maybe 5th grade, there were train tracks down in the ravine right behind the school. This is in the south in the boondocks btw. They used to make the prisoners clean up trash on the railroad tracks. Well apparently two of the guys snuck off for a romantic rendezvous and just started banging in full view of like 10 classrooms windows. We all saw it. Nothing was really ever said or done about it other than a letter being sent home about an unfortunate incident. This was in the 90s. I wonder if they are still in love?

A wedge of cheese on a wooden surface, with red seasoning, that resembles an ugly human profile, a public horror story.
I knew a girl in college who just didn't take care of herself. No exercise, no skin care, didn't shower as often as she should, the whole kit and kaboodle. Anyways my gf at the time was best friends with her so I saw her a fair amount despite us not getting along personally either. One day we were walking across campus and she says "I'm kinda hungry." I didn't think anything of it until she reached into her regular a*s purse and pulled out a block of cream cheese. I watched her take multiple bites from this stick of warmish cream cheese. I was disgusted.

A surprised woman covering her mouth, reflecting on public horror stories and shocking moments.
I will preface this with the two people involved knew each other, but I as a witness did not know that.

Man is going into a Casey's General Store as a woman is walking out. He holds the door for her in the way where she has to walk under his arm and very close to his armpit. Dude is wearing a shirt where he had cut the sleeves off, so his armpit fro is very near her face. He takes his other hand and pushed her face into his sweaty armpit.

That s**t was nasty. It was a hot day, pushing 105 F and the man was a sweaty outdoor worker.

bleh.

Went bowling and watched a girl slip over the line holding the bowling ball. She crunched down on the floor and somehow snapped her humerus. Her friends thought she was playing, so i walked over to her and she was in straight shock. By the time 911 came she was vomiting all over herself and all over me. At least my body was gracious enough not to vomit back onto her, but I definitely lost it after they took her away. I'll never forget the sound of that crunchy snap
Bleh.

Not me but my cousin is a nurse.

She saw a guy beat his wife because he blamed her for their baby dying of SIDS.

Took four people to pull him off of her.

A woman browsing clothes, perhaps distracting herself from public horror stories.
A lady took a s**t in a brand new t shirt then put it back on the shelf.

This happened while I managed a retail store in the mall. We had video evidence of her doing it but our district manager said we couldn't ban her from the store.

I was on vacation in Las Vegas and walked out of the casino we were shopping in to go back to our place. A woman had just ran her car down the strip and pulled on to the sidewalk and k****d several people. We missed seeing it happen by seconds, we saw the aftermath.

Saw a a guy who had been st*bbed in the side at a train station in Berlin, Germany. He was on the ground, unconscious with blood streaming down from the wound, and happened to be wedged in a doorway. The door was partially open and some people just walked through it, barely skirting by the guy on the ground. They seemed oblivious or totally unconcerned. Finally police and paramedics arrived and cordoned off the area around him.

I worked in a hospital, and one time, a guy came sprinting in the front entrance (not emergency room), screaming for a bathroom before projectile s******g so hard it came flowing out of both pant legs.

I have more disgusting things, but to keep it light on a Sunday - I'll never forget the time visiting NYC and seeing a dozen or so huge rats having a field day in a trash bag they got into.
