The worst possible sound.......

[old_man]

I have a new worst sound you never want to hear. Try welding upside down under your rig. Picture a piece of hot slag falling, hitting your ear, bouncing once, then starting to spiral down your ear canal, all the time you hear this sickening sizzling sound as it goes around and around.

Damn, I didn't know this old body could move so fast.

So whats your worst sound?

[Beej]

Wow, that's creepy.

Ramming a tree branch into my ear canal and clearing out my tympanic membrane was a pretty gross sound. At least for the couple of seconds before going deaf in that ear... :D

[RCP Phx]

You just described it,"Been there done that".On a similar note try being 230' in the air hanging off a safety belt and safety chains cutting rebar with a cutting torch and having some slag go down to your "man" parts,there aint no place to go and nothing you can do about it !!

[old_man]

In that case the most sickening sound is hearing your own screaming :laugh3:

[Hypoid]

Crap that's erie! At least you missed out on the silence and constant ringing, I'm happy for that fact.

Hmmm... Last Thanksgiving weekend I was in central Nebraska, ramping up hard for I-80, ZZZZZZTTTTTT, ZZZZZZTTTTTT!, Then silence; crank the engine; no compression. Quite a moment I had there with the cell battery dying. Next day I nearly froze to death in an auto parts parking lot. Note to self: When the timing chain comes out in two pieces, there's probably damage you can't see.

[Highlander]

I think the sound of slag going in the ear does it for me..

I wear earplugs now when I weld overhead.

[chelms27]

Getting an infection in your face caused by dental work, and then having to get 4 root canals at one time to fix the problem. I don't mind teeth work, but there where some weird sounds going on and it was rather uncomfortable.

[GSequoia]

The sound of jack stands failing.

Ever notice how slow the vehicle appears to be falling?

[old_man]

Too Funny. I was under my daughters vehicle working on it about six months ago. Little did I know I had developed an ear infection. All of the sudden vertigo set in and the world started spinning. All I could think was that the vehicle was falling on me. I paniced trying to get the heck out from under there and put a nasty knot on my head. When I got out from under there, it took me a minute to reallize the world was still spinning around and it wasn't from bumping my head. Talk about an adrenaline rush.

[riverfever]

I was taking a rare casting break tonight. I was laying in the grass watching the sun go down and sippin' on Knob Creek when I heard the sound. It was at the exact moment that I cut a big ol, juicy honkin' fart in my waders. I giggled to myself afterwards b/c it's all fun and games while still in the waders. It's when you get back to the Jeep and unsuit that things get ugly. It ages like a fine wine. Everyone like's their own brand.

[Blkxjkrawler]

How about the sound of a brand new truck falling off of a lift. It took it forever to hit the ground. poor kid that did it was only on his second day on the job, right out of tech school.

[Chero-King]

The sound of jack stands failing.

Ever notice how slow the vehicle appears to be falling?


I dont know... the vehicle sure seems to fall quick when you've got an arm under it as the jack stand slips out. :D

But your right, when your just standing there it does seem like everythings in slow motion, but still just a little to quick for you to do anything.

[old_man]

Hey River, what about the sound of that lumpy surprise while doing that?:laugh3:

[riverfever]

Hey River, what about the sound of that lumpy surprise while doing that?:laugh3:

What's even worse is the sound of a grown man crying out b/c he's torn between the prospect of having to hobble it back to the Jeep for shart clean up vs. staying put b/c the fishing is just too damn good.


I've got my priorities straight. :D

[LilRhodyXJ]

my worst sound was the sound of that friggin chevy hitting my XJ head on...between my horn, and glass shattering it was heart stopping...and then i couldnt hear sh!t...i guess ur head doesnt do much for u when it goes through a window...

sat in the hospitol for two weeks didnt walk for 7months..

kid on the side walk said the sound of me screaming will sit with him forever..

[Ramsey]

only girls scream

[Ramsey]

I pulled a 12 day hospital stay, wheelchair for a couple months and crutches for a couple years. Never heard it coming :D

damn right your not. I never got frustrated with it, c'est la vie , you just take what your dealt. I was 15 when it happened, still having problems with it today. But hey, that is life.

[chelms27]

My head went through the bullet proof windshield of one of the military A2 HUMVEE's a few years ago when my buddy decided to drive into a huge hole while I was reading a map. It actually didn't hurt, and for any of you military guys out there, no I didn't have a kevlar helmet on!

[rckclmbr]

another pretty bad one is when you are driving home and you hear some tires screeching and you hear a thud. then you see a dog come flying at you and you end up running it over with 1 ton 15 passenger van.

Then you get out to see that the dog you just helped kill was you roomates and then you see your dog sitting on the sidewalk watching.

the thud was the bad part. i was on the phone and the person on the line heard me hit her.

[LilRhodyXJ]

damn right your not. I never got frustrated with it, c'est la vie , you just take what your dealt. I was 15 when it happened, still having problems with it today. But hey, that is life.


well i cant run, bike or walk up a flight of stairs very well but im getting there...

and u really just sat there and never felt pissed u couldnt walk?

I was so saddened by it..my life was staring to get better from a downward slump and i was senior in HS then boom that sh** happened

ur a good man then i had issues with not being able to feel my legs left arm or head...

[Ramsey]

eh its just a dog, hell i almost ran over a whole pack one time

[riverfever]

Damn dude...why ya gotta steal my thunder over here? Now my funny story seems oddly out of place. :laugh: Glad you're healing up though.

Hypoid...just today I was trying to teach my kids the difficult concept of density. I have found that SPED students can relate to density when poop enters the discussion. We talk about turds and how some float and others sink and tie that into density. I know that's not precisely what density is but it gets the gist of it across to their wee brains. Making education fun is so key. Funny how poop seems to do just that. :o

ouch, no paralysis in my case, but just a lot of broken bones(to the point they were coming out of me:D) then the doc didnt catch a broken hip some how and onset arthritis then a replacemnet blah blah blah, somehow you just get use to it pretty quick and try not to think about it too much.

[CanMan]

I hate it when your on the crapper at work and a fellow employee comes in to pinch a http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/bread.gif, and he sits there grunting, moaning, and hearing it squeeze out of his ass. Then the dirrehea hits, thats the worst. :puke:

funny that happened to the kid who was in the car with me... he walked around on it for three days after they told him he was fine untill he callopsed one day in school they brought him in to the ER and did surgery the next day...
he ended up with the bad left leg and my right leg was pretty much destroyed so people make some funny jokes about our limps

ROTFLMFAO!!!:roflmao::roflmao:

[riverfever]

Speaking of droppin' a deuce at work...

I can't do it man. I'm not exactly quiet when I'm doing that. No grunting but I've earned the nickname "trumpet butt". There's no buffer zone in school. They build those damn bathrooms to actually accentuate the noise. This week I had to run back home twice to get the home field advantage. Love seeing the dog tilt the head as I work my magic in the other room. :D

[Mr.OverKill]

worst sound ever is being in the back yard with my 3.5 yo daughter by the pool and turning around and your wife walks in the house thinking you have your eye on the girl and you know she has her eye on her and you hear a splash and the laughter goes silent............. .05 seconds across the yard, down a hill and over the top of the pool and not geting wet till you reach the far end of a half olimpic pool and you are grabing you baby out of the water!!

best sound in the world........................... her laughing again cause she got wet!! ( thank God )

[Ramsey]

yeah i went around 3 months, well went around is a stretch, laid around. even after the fuggers took a good dozen x rays. Considering my tibia and fibia was coming out the side of my leg, you would think they would check the rest. it was 3 years(after hip replacement) before i could go long distances, stairs, hell even uphill.

[LilRhodyXJ]

Do u have any metal??

[LilRhodyXJ]

Also you no whats a sucky sound... i hope im not the only one who think this otherwise i'll feel like an idiot.... but styrofoam hitting either itself of something liek concrete... i dunno but when i hear that shrieking noise i get the chills

[Goatman]

I have a new worst sound you never want to hear. Try welding upside down under your rig. Picture a piece of hot slag falling, hitting your ear, bouncing once, then starting to spiral down your ear canal, all the time you hear this sickening sizzling sound as it goes around and around.

Tom, I can relate. Nearly the same thing happened to me last week. Didn't get the round and round thing, but got the pain and the sizzle. :shocked: :eek:

[Hypoid]

Yeah riverfever I know the wavelength issues, my twin step-sons were 3 mos early, one shaken by a babysitter at 2 yrs. That's not what I saw in your post: It's having the emotional tenacity, the focus, and the presence of mind to maintain your priorities while the shits-a-flyin... Dayam! Now I've turned your perfectly good post into a metaphor. Sorry bout that

[Ramsey]

Do u have any metal??
titanium hip, had some more but they took it out when that went in.

[LilRhodyXJ]

titanium hip, had some more but they took it out when that went in.

my bionics consist of a metal plate in my head, a metal rod for a femur, part of a metal hip, some sort of metal in my knee, a bunch of screws and pins to hold it all together

doc told me it takes 10000lbs of pressure to crack ur femur..now i dunno if its tru but i completly shattered mine

[Ramsey]

according to mythbusters, it was...i cant remember but i think around 4 or 500

[LilRhodyXJ]

well i guess he needs to watch cuz thats wut he said...but as u kno docs arnt the best...

but im glad ur doing well man

no fun being :gee:

[Ramsey]

the drugs help a little with the fun :D

[LilRhodyXJ]

the drugs help a little with the fun :D

after watching me wheel around my house high outta my mind on oxycontin my mom thought it was time to switch to 6 ibuprofins instead of 1 OC...it made for no pain but i didnt have the fun feeling...

[Ramsey]

and its worse on your liver

[POSJ]

My head went through the bullet proof windshield of one of the military A2 HUMVEE's a few years ago when my buddy decided to drive into a huge hole while I was reading a map. It actually didn't hurt, and for any of you military guys out there, no I didn't have a kevlar helmet on!

You mean your head hit the windshield? I don't know about a few years ago but the windows in the HUMVEE's now your head wouldn't even crack the window. I hate the stupid Army rule about kevlar in HMV's but I guess I know why now, lol. Glad to hear everybody in this is ok, Chicks Dig Scars.

My worst sound that I've heard are mortars, especially after I found out that the three landed 150meters away from our fuel depot. That wouldn't have been fun.

[RichP]

The worst sound ?
Hmmm, 'I'm from the govt and I'm here to help you'

The second worse sound, adjusting mortars shooting from behind you over your head and hearing the sound of a short charge hoping it was not the center tube directly behind you.

[Sarge]

The sound of the cat releasing the jet before you're back in the catwalk (was only about 1/2 way out from under the wing in fact) was a bad one for me. Did a head first slide into the catwalk and the no-skid wore thru everything except my t-shirt. My SSgt said I looked like a blur leaving a brown messy trail behind me. :laugh3:

Sargenow that you mention it, a really bad sound is when the F110 GE 404 gives way on cat 4 in AB during a HI power turn and you are the first thing the debris will reach after the engine bay doors are shredded. you hear the rumble of augment then a shredding sound as the #2 and #3 compressor blades begin the centrivicalforce propeled ( sp? ) flight towards any thing in the plane of rotation through the doors toward ...............you!! the scars have faded and the pain is gone but i have some titanium in me too, its just not fastened to any thing. love the navy doctors.

[LilRhodyXJ]

damn we've all been beat to hell....













except for river fever he just sh!ts himseld while fishing:D

[riverfever]

Dude...there's a lot of BIG fish in the river right now with the spawn. Hooked into one last week and it ran right at me and almost hit my shin. Then took off upstream so I ran up the bank and started chasing it. Looked like a damn submarine. Kept both flies after it broke off. I'll take some ribbing from you all for that action. :laugh3:

[Ramsey]

should have dove in with a pocket knife, real mean dont use reels.

[buzzbombxj]

these are all worse than mine, but it still haunts me.

when i was learning how to weld i would get a peice of plate and cover it with beads till it was red hot to practice. i was wearing these cheep thin polyester pants. i tried to pick up the peice of metal with the pliers and droped it in my lap! the pants were instantly melted and the sound of the sizzle of my skin in just the .5 second it took me to stand up i will allways remember. i guess im lucky though, as it hit my leg. i dont even want to think about if it had hit more in the center of my lap, seeing as how it was a warm day i was going commando. :scared:

[SCW]

Somehow I get the feeling you whiners don't really know what a burn is like. I promise there was lots of noise on this day, 5 1/2 years ago.

OK, who's next?

[Ramsey]

I've got some pictures of an external fixator on my leg, lot of metal sticking out, but i'm gonna say that is a little worse. My mom didnt let my grandma take pictures of the bones coming out, too bad i wish i had those.

[LilRhodyXJ]

i dont have pics because my parents wernt allowed to take them but my face looked like urs SCW except filled with glass and plastic..but totally torn apart with a little of my head caved in from the a pillar...now i have a metal plate and cant feel the left side of my head great for fights:laugh3:

how r u doing after that?

[old_man]

I have some pix of me in a halo clamp, thumb screws and all. I wish I had a way to scan my Xrays. I have more hardware and screws in my neck than most lift kits. I even have a titanium zip tie in there.

Please dont take this as rude....but with metal in ur body replacing parts that once were how is it when u get older? ive only had this bionicness for a year and its not even done healing so i dont kno how it will do...all i know is people werent kidding when they said id be able to feel weather changes...

[Ramsey]

Arthritis is a bitch! I'll be broke down by my 40s, but hey science is advancing in leaps and bounds. Were ages ahead of where we were 20 years ago, as far as hip replacements go, and 20 years from now who knows what will come.

ya i guess i'll be right there with you

all i have to say, and im sure you feel this too...its so great to walk again, I dont give a flying #### if I never can run again or any of that. Its nice to have my legs back and to be able to walk around

[Ramsey]

The feeling is amazing, to park in the back of a parking lot and make it to the store without feeling like dying. I still remember how good it felt the first time I could lay on my stomach, it was better than sex:D

[Captain Ron]

The ear thing is close, but I've got 2 others that bother me more.

The sound a 25 foot pointer makes as it bites an 8 foot long 300 plus pound tuna in half.

The sound of a freight train in extreme weather at night while lying in your bunk at sea in a small boat.

agreed! that first time i flipped over I was in heaven, sh!t i layed on my back for so damn long..and my mother rubbed it in when i tried to turn over that i resembled a turtle stuck on its back..real cute:thumbdn:....

as for physical activities have u tried anything besides the physical therapy yet?..I've tried to run but its really uncomfortable and then tried to bike but no can do..leg locks up

[Ramsey]

did PT for 9 months after the accident, and 3 years later after the replacement had another 3 months or so. before the replacement i could only manage to walk, no running biking or any of that jazz i just didnt have the range of motion or strength in it. now that i had the replacement it feels like nothing is wrong, though the other side is worn out from favoring it for so long, anyways, yeah i'm not suppose to run or do any high impact things on it, but walking biking and such is fine on it. this one will hopefully last me 10 years but could be as little as 4. then i'm good for maybe one or two more replacements before there is not enough bone. the ten year expectancy is on old hip data so hopefully the one i have is a little better.

[rocklandxjer]

nothing as drastic as you guys, but hearing a popping sound in your arm, thinking its all fine, then looking down as you try to lift it and seeing nothing happen... then as you remove your sweatshirt you see a bone sticking out of the back and bottom of your elbow, and your bicep already purple... 13 screws 2 long bolts... some washers.. and three titanium plates, and some bicep surgery later... good as new.

how did you guys like physical therapy. i thought the people were really nice, and dispite the sometimes pain, it was really relaxing..

also, are any of you guys going to get your hardware out. my physical therapist said that i would get some ROM back but id have to do the therapy all over again. it feels like normal now, and i dont know how fast an ulna can heal with a 6 inch bolt being taken out...

physical therapy was great for me too except for one part... Don't know if any of you had to get that electro therapy BS but, IT HURTS!! I had so much nerve damage that they had to put the little dial to 10, most people get it at 4...its like a random shock that goes through your leg/arm whatever and makes your muscles contract to try and loosen them...u dont kno when its coming next and when you have one on both leg going off at random u start to flinch everytime you think its coming but then the other one goes off...sucks because I couldnt get up and run away...
but other then that PT was good it got my ass outta the house and they let me wheel around a little bit when i was there...

[hadfield4wd]

The worst sound for me. I was 11 and skiing. I remember looking up at the ski patrolman when he asked "can you feel that?" He was pinching my hands and legs so hard they bruised. His next words were into his radio "bring the back board and get a helicopter here". I had broken my neck. I was with the boyscouts and my parents were 2 hours away and the couldn't find them. They finally got hold of my uncle and he came up. After a couple hours the trauma went away. I get terrible headaches but other than that no major side effects.

Yes I still ski.

I don't know about the roof of my mouth, but I've damn near blistered my tongue on molten cheese from a pizza. You're right though, you can't spit it out. One has to hope they have a drink handy when that situation arrises.

The lovely sound of an angle grinder as it kicks and catches your clothes and starts sucking into you...

or one of the worst...

"Honey, would you do me a favor?" or "Are you busy?"

[Roxtar]

My worst sound have been recently redefined.
Under the truck turning a 1/2" drive ratchet on one hand and holding the part with the other.
Every mechanic knows you should always pull toward you to keep your knuckles safe, right?
However...
I doubt I'll ever forget the sickening sound of teeth breaking.

On a slightly more serious note..... I decided to not go the bridge route as that entails destroying the 2 perfectly good teeth on each side of the gap. Now that I'm employed, I'll have an implant supported crown.

You guys have me beat....but for me, it was the distinct and suprisingly loud KRRRUUUNNNNCCCCHHHHHH !!! sound of three toes on my right foot being crushed by a falling engine....

[Lawn Cher']

spoken like a true fat man

How's your diet going, Stay-Puft?

[Gil BullyKatz]

Worst possible sound...

The bedroom door opening when you're in bed with your GF's sister.

True story

[bjoehandley]

You guys have me beat....but for me, it was the distinct and suprisingly loud KRRRUUUNNNNCCCCHHHHHH !!! sound of three toes on my right foot being crushed by a falling engine....


Ditto, worst I've heard was when I rolled my foot a couple months back and heard that rather distictive POP right before I fell down! I'm still amazed I didn't hit my head on the upper door opening when I fell on the Jeep's driver seat......

[MXJ]

I was using my friends 1/2" Dewalt drill for some drain holes I was opening up in my old YJ when the bit caught, I heard a loud pop and felt alot of pain. Fractured my wrist in two places.

What made it all the worse was my friend said "be care with this thing, it'll break your arm" as I was drilling.

Then theres the sweet sound of the angle grinder catching your finger and slicing into it while trimming the fenders on the jeep.

[RCP Phx]

About 30 years ago coming home from DFW(in a hell of a rain) we decided to get a motel in Fort Stockton.Turned the key on the door,security chains stopped the door,then heard the "Hammer" Kock(not bad spelling,naxja X't out).Whoever was in the room was already on the phone by the time I got back to the front desk,DEAD SCARY!!!

[NHEric]

The ever popular "zing" of the blade of the radial arm saw as it took my left thumb and index finger off.

Or the same pop you all are describing when I ran out of snow at the bottom of the mountain and my ski stopped suddenly as it wedged itself nicely between 2 rocks. Too bad the rest of me didn't stop. Did a great job on my left ankle. Many broken bones. Left leg is a little shorter - but I can walk.

One of my favorites - - standing on a barstool patching inserts (audio stuff) for Motorhead at a club in Maine. Barstool went 1 way - I didn't. I fell, breaking 3 ribs as I landed on - and crushed that barstool.

Hi - my name is Eric - I'm new(ish) here.

[boise49ers]

How about the slight groan and then the Pop when the axle snaps:cry:

[ridge_runnerxj]

breaking my neck and then hearing the vertbrae grind together

[ridge_runnerxj]

well i take that back, it wasnt t bad. my halo ripping out after 5 weeks that was a nasty sound. metal studs pulling out of my skull. it was hardcore

[8Mud]

I think the worst sound is the sound of silence, between the first impact and the last impact. Always seems to be like that in a serious wreck.
I was last into a chopper, we all had our rucksacks on, it was kind of a rush thing. Guy in front of me turns around and knocks me out the door from about thirty feet, complete silence, then whoomp. I kind of layed there and groaned for a long time. Scrambled my insides some, but didn't break a thing. I think I didn't break anything, because I was just too tired and surprised to tense up much before I hit. Though my back has never been the same since.
Though there really is nothig like the smell of burning flesh and the crackle pop sound (especially when it's yours) to make your breakfast do a flip flop.
I had on my brand new polyester work pants, was using an angle grinder, the guy next to me eyes got really wide and surprised looking and then I smelled the fire,my crotch was in flames. And yes I did scream like a twelve year old girl and do a decent immitation of a break dance.

[Ramsey]

How's your diet going, Stay-Puft?
Down 10# :thumbup:

[Del00XJ]

Anyone here a firefighter or emt? I got a pretty recent one for you. Our new(er) Scott SCBA's were outfitted with RIT (Rapid Intervention Team) Belts. RIT is basically search and rescue for firefighters. Working apartment fire, room was getting ready to flashover, three guys (including me) lept from a third story window in the front of the complex with over 100 bystanders watching we obviously fell. Our RIT belts are outfitted to withstand 800 degress of heat. The bed frame we wrapped the rope around burnt and we just did a free fall. The sweet sound of people gasping and then the awful sound of hearing my ankles snap and femur cracking. That's all I can recall. Pain was so intense I passed out... Two years ago this past month!

[Redhotxjowner]

The worst sound i have ever heard was my dad saying owwww crap hold on hahaha

[ehall]

my worst sound was the sound of that friggin chevy hitting my XJ head on...between my horn, and glass shattering it was heart stopping...and then i couldnt hear sh!t...i guess ur head doesnt do much for u when it goes through a window...

sat in the hospitol for two weeks didnt walk for 7months..

kid on the side walk said the sound of me screaming will sit with him forever..
That reminds me of when I lived in the SF peninsula and used to go on the back highways up the Santa Cruz Mountains. Lots of motorcycles on those roads, usually they are zipping around. One time there was a newbie biker trying out his crotch rocket, passing people on short turns while wobbling to keep it under control. I go around a couple of bends and he's laying out in the street, in front of the oncoming car that he just hit

"I CANT FEEL MY LEGS"

"I CANT FEEL MY LEGS"

That will stay with me forever

[Ramsey]

That's happened to me so many times it's not even funny...I don't think I've ever whinned about it on a public forum though...:rattle:

http://www.naxja.org/forum/images/icons/icon10.gif
I sure am glad this fag doesnt hang around anymore.

[RichP]

Too me the worst sound is the telephone ringing after midnite, there are no good phone calls after midnite. The last one I got I ran round and checked to make sure BOTH my kids were asleep in their beds before I hit the button on the handset.

[Shorty]

there are no good phone calls after midnite.

not a big fan of the late night booty call, eh?

[98XJSport]

Last call I got like that was my sister, her boyfriend had been hit by an 18 wheeler...







Not in a vehicle...









Only got a broken arm outta the deal :dunno:

[bjoehandley]

Wow, how the hell did he pull that one off?

[90Blue_XJ]

what the hell are you talking about, im ashamed all the time! you've read my posts havent you?
:D

Me too that's why I wear clothes.


Worst sound I ever heard was the Doctor telling me My Mom was dead.

[poorboy_616]

The sound of an axe bouncing off a piece of rebar buried in a thirty year old tree.

Followed closely by the sound of my left shoulder being abruptly ripped out of socket.

Next is the sound of it being put back in the socket by the ER doctor at the local hospital.

The third, five years after the injury (got an eval. due to numbness of the arm and hand, as well as severe pain and loss of motion), being told by your doctor that your days as a profesional landscaper and (part time) auto mechanic are over, unless you quit, then get surgery to correct the problem.

Fourth, being told by an orthopedic surgion that the MRI's reveal some pretty major nerve damage and that you will NOT be returning to your profession(s) due to the extent your injuries......

Now, if you ever hear me whining about my shoulder giving me crap, that's why....(shortly after the eval with the surgeon, my employer at the time, NAPA, laid me off, so now I have no insurance, so no surgery yet....)

[98XJSport]

Wow, how the hell did he pull that one off?

He was in the back of a minivan, lots of non-moving traffic trying to leave the race at louden, NH. Got out of the back side door of the van, with his back to the traffic in the next lane. Which had started moving, he kind of fell back into the moving truck, bounced back and forth between the vehicles a few times, and thrown to the pavement. Lucky he didn't go under, just broke his arm in a few places.

But thats a hard story to get from someone hysterical in the middle of the night.

[Bent]

The "pting!" a table saw blade makes when it hits bone.

[BIgDaddyChia]

The sound of a Hatch of an SUV Cracking your skull.

[razdrvr]

Incoming mortars

[cal]

The "psst splat" sound created when chunks of flesh hit you in the face.

I got my hand caught in a wire wheel. Its lousy to get something in your eye, but its worse when its a chunk of your thumb.

[Ramsey]

Got a piece of finger thrown into my mouth one time from a cut off wheel...tasted like chicken.

[Jump This]

I always suspected you'd be the type to swallow.

He could have spit it out after tasting it....


:puke:

[Ramsey]

I just let it sit in my mouth til it went soft...

[Darky]

The sound of gas flowing through the pump hose knowing that its flowing into my Jeep which I just filled a few days ago! Them's some real problems!

:D

[.40CalPatriot]

the sound of my xj popping into nuetral while underneath it, while it was parked on the side of a hill while wheelin. I rolled out in time, had the front tire run over my foot and ankle my girlfriend threw open the door so i could get in to stop it but the door hit me in the face. chased it for a few seconds got in and stopped it right before it plummented of the side of a cliff.

[.40CalPatriot]

o and i almost forgot the sound of a chainsaw hitting a hard knot in a tree and shooting out the the tree and cutting into my leg twice just above the knee cap. went in about a half inch each and stopped right before the muscle.

[red91]

So whats your worst sound?

That bitch of an almost EX wife that won't shut her trap !

God I'd rather hear a motor throw a rod....

:D

[poorboy_616]

[Mr.OverKill]

and....I would rather here a motor toss a rod....if i could i would rather have my EX-Wife toss my rod AND keep quiet while doing it!!!!, aint gona happen but it would be nice LOL!!!!!!!!!! :laugh3: :twak: ( sorry, i had to go there )

[RTicUL8]

Well this goes waaay back.
I was parking at a small abandoned airstrip.
About 20 min later I heard:


The sound of a police flash light rapping on the foggy rear window of my car,


and then shining on my big white a..:moon:

.


I got the recommendation to park there from my college roommate.
Then I later found out that it was a "well known" parking spot to the local police.
My roommate couldn't stop laughing when I told him that I got busted!

[FlexdXJ]

Ummm............Fran Drescher!

[Dustin_Z]

Incoming mortars

+1. Been there done that. Or maybe the sound of incoming sniper fire, or that fire hitting your body armor back plate.

Another horrible sound was the total silence from when I flopped my XJ and crushed my hand

[alex22]

Anybody ever stall out a 1hp bench grinder with their finger? Boy does that make a funny sound. My finger got sucked into the wire wheel side about a year ago and i've still got a big lump of scar tissue in there.

~Alex

[neonrog]

The dentist filing on my jawbone. No matter what I file on today (15 years later), the first couple strokes are a little tough...

[8Mud]

The sound of half a zipper going up, a grunt, then heavy panting, has to be the worst, just before the scream.

[Timmy2XJS]

the scream of my wife as her 99 dodge intrepeds jack fails as in trying to set up the stands. the rotor cam down and took half an inch from my thumb.

yes cars fall in slow motion.

both her and i are Marines and i have NEVER heard that sound some out her face, even during child birth.......

[poorboy_616]

The very worst sound I EVER heard......(The shoulder incident is a VERY close second)

At 3:30 AM, three hours after I went to sleep after a double shift at NAPA.....inches from my head (3 year old daughter)....."Daddy?? can I watch my cartoons please??"

Grrr..........:gonnablow :loveu:

[tcv4444]

Again, the sound of nothing comes to mind. When you turn the key and nothing happens... ...luckily it's a 5 speed, you can pop it. Unfortunately you parked right next to a 100 foot sheer cliff drop and nobody has jumper cables. :doh:

or

It's Christmas Eve, the relatives are visiting. You and your cousin take out Grandma's minivan to get egg nog and make a detour for a HUGE parking lot puddle. You get halfway through and the water is swooshing and all of a sudden... nothing. Stuck in the middle with water up to the door handles. That's how I learned to turn a wrench and what the terms "hydrolock" and "to throw a rod" meant. Still keep the bottom half of the connecting rod on my desk as a paperwieght. :explosion

[poorboy_616]

ooooops!!!

I used to have a connecting rod and piston (attached) on my desk. One of my first engines that I tire down at Detroit Deisel had unleaded fuel run through it.....

The connecting rod was identifiable only by the crank end as the piston had melted on to the upper part of the rod......

[McQue]

I remember this sound like it was yesterday, even though it happened 52 years ago...We were burning leaves in the back yard...somehow a live .22 round got raked into the fire...it exploded and I caught the shrapnel in my left eye...My mom grabbed me, ran me into the house and set me up in the highchair as I was about 2 and half years old then...things were getting a little bloody...all my brothers and sisters were crying...four of them at the same time...I was the only one not crying...doctor came and dug my eyeball out with a sharp spoon at that was that. Things got quiet after that...the silence was deafening.

[old_man]

Thought I would bring this back to the top after a few years.

[Doc Holliday]

Hmm, having all 4 wisdom teeth pulled in the same visit made some bad sounds. I think the worst though was when my ship (USS George HW Bush) was underway, we got called to General Quarters at 3:20 in the morning for a fire. Had a cable way catch on fire, and it moved forward and aft, was fairly close to my berthing, so the smoke was pretty bad. Not a good way to start my day.

[srmitchell]

Calm Tuesday afternoon. Listening to the new Mastodon record with a co worker at my house.

Hear a bang, scream, and LOUD moaning from the park across the street.

Guy changing a spare tire on a BMW, we think the jack slipped, and the car fell on him.

Bunch of people crowded round, ambulance came.

I've never heard an adult man scream like that.

[iwannadie]

I had an IV directly into my heart and the sound it made when they pulled this long thin tube from my chest... Never forget the sound of that thing as it came out, rather quickly too. It was a very quiet sound but when you are sitting there in a silent room it sure left an impression.

There could also be a montage of bolts snapping as I work on various things. Not many things worse than having big plans for a weekend project and fresh parts laying ready to go in when a random bolt snaps in the worst possible place crushing your plans.

[vt98xj]

I had an ingrown whisker/hair that turned into a big cyst right below my ear. It got big enough to where the doctor had to drain it, after a local, they cut it open. It was bone chilling to hear your skin being cut but you cannot feel or see it.

[93xjcowboy]

The very very loud pop of my shoulder seperating in a football game and then the repeated pops and tearing sounds as I played another 4 plays 5 years and 1 surgery later I get to hear my shoulder pop and grind any time I move my arm. Luckily its only a dull pain anymore unless the weather changes.

The cracking/poping sound as my Fused lower back starts to "un fuse". Luckily there is no damage but I cant take a full time job in anything that requires me to bend for any length of time.

The sound of the roof crushing on my Jeep when I rolled it (profile pic)

That sound when I pulled the knife out of my knuckles. Worst feeling ever goes to not being able to not being able to move my fingers.

The sound of a shotgun pump when Im "parked" in a field with a girl. Followed by the sound of a 12g slug ripping through the side of my Jeep. :farmer:


And for the Firefighters/EMTs out there. Hearing a PASS alarm and a mayday come over the radio during a massive working structure fire.

[kastein]

the sound of a friend's rig rolling on a steep rockface behind me. First some tire noises and revving, then crashing metal, wood, and glass breaking... turned around in time to see it go backward end over end, barrel roll midair, then sorta barrel-end-over-end roll. He was lucky, barely injured. Wear your seatbelts. His cage and extreme strength saved his life but one more roll would have had very bad results.

The sound/feeling of an angle grinder going through my finger. That was a fun one :gee: got full motion back, and the swelling is going down now. Nicked the bone, missed all the nerves and tendons, and cauterized the only blood vessel I hit.

Feeling the very solid impact of the end of a garage door track on my skull. Didn't even feel it hit my scalp, but sure did feel it scrape across my skull. I can still feel the scar years later, if I ever go bald it'll probably still be visible.

The sound of a car accident out front of the shop followed immediately by a child crying. I think that will stick with me forever. Luckily, only broken bones, and the kids were all OK except for flying glass.

The sound of a dropped soldering iron sizzling on my right thigh. That really, really hurt a couple seconds later. Left a 4" by 1/2" scar that lasted about seven years.

I get these once in a while, I generally just swab everything down with peroxide, grab a brand new utility knife blade, swab that too, and slice it open then 'pop' the cyst out myself now. If you do it right you can get it out in one piece which reduces the chance that it'll reoccur.

[souske]

Probably the time the Chemical attack alarm went off onboard ship. We had our masks, but the canisters were locked up, save for two. 40 people fighting over 2 canisters, not a good thing.

Turned out to be a false alarm, but not a fun experience...

Thats not very smart!

[Manic Mechanic]

Some of you guys sound like you've put your bodies through hell, trying to give frankenstein a run for his money, lol.

I got a few that make the list. Probably the one that stickes with me the most was waiting 3 hours for a MEDEVAC trying to keep my buddy comfortable, which was pretty difficult since we had no pain meds, and he had 2nd and 3rd degree burns on his torso, arms, and face. He pretty much would scream till he passed out, be out for a few minutes, wake up, and scream again. 3 hours of that, and nothing else we could do.

I've had rockets and mortars hit pretty dang close to me before, and you don't exactly get used to it, but in a way you do. Guess it's just the way things are. Anyways, I ended up getting out just as my buddies were ramping up for another trip to the 'stan. A couple months into it I get a phone call one morning from my battle, and we're talking things here at home and relaying news, when I hear what sounds like a jet fly over...except he's not at a airbase. I hear the impact of the rocket over the phone, hear him breathe in real sharp, and go "Shit man, gotta go..." and click. Luckily he didn't get hit, but some guys nearby him did. This was about a month after we lost a friend to a rocket attack. I never felt more guilty for getting out then that moment.

There's a few others, but those are the big onee for me. I've been lucky by not having anything super painful happen to me other than my back being messed up.

-Eric

[Darky]

Just got off shift, workin a graveyard shift in Kandahar, got back to the daysleeper tent, Laid down to go to sleep, when I hear 2000 lb bomb explode. Fall off the cot, fumble in my bag for my rifle, and run outside in my underwear to the fighting hole, along with about 10 other Marines. Then we see soldiers strolling by snickering at the underwear clad Marines with their rifles, and realized that it was just Army EOD and they forgot to warn us about that one...:D

[Ghost]

I have a new worst sound you never want to hear. Try welding upside down under your rig. Picture a piece of hot slag falling, hitting your ear, bouncing once, then starting to spiral down your ear canal, all the time you hear this sickening sizzling sound as it goes around and around.

Damn, I didn't know this old body could move so fast.

So whats your worst sound?

Been there done that!

[crazymoose1990]

The sound of my own lungs gasping for air, as I slowly suffocate, I was 8 and had horrible allergys and asthma, I had a bad reaction to sliding down an elm tree, at my grand parents house. the closest hospital was 30 miles away, I can still remember my mom telling me to hold on, that I could make it. By the time we arrived I had started to turn blue. I wonder how much smarter I would have been if I had not starved my brain for oxygen. :)
