Bar Fighting Round Iii
<div class="IPBDescription">Mutiny in the Alleyway!</div> Short story.
Happened about 5 hours ago.
It's quite a rare sight to see someone getting thrown out of a bar at 8pm, so rare in fact this was the first time I ever witnessed the event. Mongo was kindly explaining to the gentlemen he was off his face, and The Drunk was arguing back. The sheer futility of it all was rather amusing, I kept my business to myself and kept walking past the scene up to the entrance to Blocka (The other member of security on tonight) and asked him what the go was. "Just some idiot who's off his face, best just ignore it"
"Rightio then"
I expected that to be the last I saw of The Drunk, and quite literally almost was....
About 10 minutes into work the manager runs in "Adam get the medical kit quick! Someones tried to top themself in the alley!" Oh goody. So I stop pouring this drink, told the guy I was serving Sorry, he nodded and I raced down to get the medical kit and a few torches. I come down the alley, which just so happens to be pitch black, hand the torches around and give the medical kit to the manager. I shine a light on the guys face, it was The Drunk from before. "Guys more light" shouts the manager. I shine my torch down to where she's working on the guy. She was winding bandages around his wrists.
He had slit his wrists with broken glass.
What. A. freaking. Idiot.
So yeah, I'm standing there watching this guy almost bleed to death. The ambulance arrives 5 minutes later (We're down the round from the hospital) and I have to help security out by pushing the very large crowd back (Like the whole bar emptied. Slow night....) so the guy could be stretchered out.
And that's the most exciting thing that happened all night. We ushered all the patrons back in, then we locked the doors. Called last drinks at 8:30..... and closed the bar. So I got 30 minutes of 'work' done, called up some mates, went out for some drinks to forget the whole incident and then saw The Matrix Reloaded for my sixth time....
As I'm driving home I get an SMS from the manager "Idiot didn't want to live in a world without alcohol, so he smashed his bottle and slit his wrists. Do you need counseling?"
My reply "I think I'll live. Cya tomorrow"
What a night.....

What my girlfriend told me next was pretty shocking. Turns out the guy had decided to kill himself in the toilets. He had slit his arms all the way up from his wrist to his elbow and ther was blood everwhere. Surprisingly enough he was still alive but speaking were incoherently so they patched him up as best the could untill the paramedics arrived. Apparently there was blood all over the place up the walls and everything and my girlfriend was given the job of cleaning it up <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> The even wierder thing about it is she tottaly wasn't phased by it at all I mean i probably would have flaked out.
People do the wierdest things for attention!
I don't know what this guy was thinking, most likely he wasn't. It's kinda surprising to see last call at 8:30 though. Day off for Infi! w00t.
Closing the bar was the best thing, one of the barmaids couldn't handle it and broke down, other people were in similar situations after seeing this. It didn't affect me in the slightest. Too many violent video games I suppose.....
Now this next statement is going to be overly morbid and make me out to be an insensitive ****, but I gotta get it off my chest.
I frankly couldn't care LESS if he lived or died. He is just another faceless stranger in the crowded room, another cold statistic of alcohol abuse and I have come to realise how screwed up this world is when crap like this happens....
blah... see what happens when I drown my sorrows? I make big philosphical statements I can't justify correctly because I'm drunk.....
urgh. I'm going to bed.
POST 361 HUZZAH!!! (That's my member number, which is only in the triple digits, unlike most)
silly drunks.
My friend nearly killed himself with alcohol poisoning.
Man, Infinitum...I'd call you insensitive but i'm the guy who thinks certain people shouldn't be allowed to breed. and they should be killed to free up some resources.
I should become a bouncer...its like free money...plus i get to kick the **** out of people <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
As for the story at hand - it's sad, really. Imagine having so little to live for to make an earnest attempt on account of something as stupid as this. Before someone states that he could just have been too plastered - I've seen my share of really drunks. You don't get suicidal from it.
Well considering you can only live on 6 pints of blood and depending on if you cut an artery or not then you've prolly only got about 15-20 mins to die.
Suicidal people are fun to laugh at(and insult)!
I believe that it's "A One that is not cold is scarcely a One at all."
The ONEitude is directly proportional to the COLDitude of the ONE. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Its being an alcoholic.

bleh, one word off.
an average adult has actually 4-6 liters blood (6-8% of the bodyweight) and up to 15ml bloodloss per kg bodyweight can be tolerated without loss of bloodpressure, after that the pressure will sink rapidly (i.e. you die).
also, the bleeding itself doesn't hurt, it's the wound (duh), so it's not necessarily very painful if for example you lose blood through a cleanly inserted open cannula.
Speaking of blood, I'm gonna go lose a pint on wednesday.
i was looking for a summer job (im 18 in july 18th)
