Saw I don't know which youtuber talking about when they found his wife asleep in the bath, but she was using red dyed soap, and the first image of her laying down in red water, says him was traumatizing
Next your going to tell me they don't actually arrest people that are dressed up in silly costumes. Also they sure don't arrest people dressed as Santa Claus around Christmas time.
My mom got into a crash once while she had containers of pickled beets in her car. Beet juice all over her. The first responders thought she was bleeding out.
I love the influx of people having house parties on Halloween, then police get called for whatever reason and the host comes out dressed as something ridiculous and needs to handle it
My partner got into a (luckily fairly minor) car accident on Halloween this year. They were fine, but they were in costume and had some fake blood on. The officer took one look at them and went “…it’s Halloween, isn’t it?” And when they said yeah he was like “okay. Any of that real?” Which thank god none of it was.
Not a super thrilling story, but yeah shit like this happens.
Okay, I see where people are doubting this. Nowhere in the article does it say anyone thought she was dead, and in fact it says that she was still conscious trying to reassure the good samaritan who showed up first and called for help that she was fine and the blood was fake.
So in the tweet she was exaggerating; nobody thought she was dead, just that she was injured a lot more severely than she actually was.
This is a perfect example of a poster on this sub not understanding what was being doubted. The title makes this clear. No one doubted that she crashed a car on Halloween, but we all should doubt that everyone thought she was dead.
But there's no reason to call it out like that. It's perfectly normal anecdotal exaggeration. Nobody listens to funny stories expecting an objective retelling of actual events. If she were to repeatedly insist that, no, everyone literally did think she was dead, then she'd be lying; as it is, "everyone thought I was dead" is just a comical exaggeration of everyone being uncertain about how injured she really was.
Also like... if I were the good samaritan in this situation and there was even a moment where the person looked unconscious or not responsive while looking like that, it wouldn't matter if it was Halloween, I would not let them leave until a professional has confirmed that they're fine.
There's two parts to this story. 1) She was in a crash while dressed up as Carrie. 2) All the 1st responders thought she was dead. The first part is completely believable. I wouldn't question that one bit. The second part is what's a bit sus. I'm not really buying that part.
I was attacked by a dog on Halloween, when I was dressed as a zombie. Me and the nurse had a fun time trying to figure out which marks were fake and which were real lol
Crashed my car into a tree wearing a fake blood splattered shirt that said "don't shoot. Not a zombie" cops honestly kept asking if I thought I was bleeding anywhere lol.
I think this is an issue where she used a hyperbole and some people took it literally. The first responder was probably really concerned and thought she had been severely injured. They did not approach this fully-conscious woman and assume she was deceased.
I was once attacked, pretty much outside my house, on my way home from a neighbours Halloween party. I was dressed as a zombie with fake blood everywhere.
After coming round (I reckon I was out for 30 mins or so) I managed to stagger home.
My wife didn't believe me until she saw I was still pissing blood out of the side of my head. I've still got scars nearly 20 years later.
someone totaled my car when my brother and i were going to a cast party directly from a theater performance we were in that required us to wear aging makeup. the cops were very confused and kept asking if we were okay and how old we were lol
I'm more on the side that this probably didn't happen. It's not the car crash I have in issue with. It's the part where the first responders thought she was dead. If she was conscious and moving, they obviously wouldn't think that. If she were unconscious and still, they'd immediately check for a pulse before thinking anything.
Yeah, she's covered in fake blood and looks badly injured. But she's still conscious and posing for a picture. That's generally not something that dead people do.
Yes, and in the article, she even says that she was trying to reassure the first person to discover the wreck (the one who called the first responders) that she was fine and it was fake.
This is the classic "that happened/nothing ever happens" type of story, because the crash really did happen and the article proves it happened, but she exaggerated it in the tweet because it doesn't sound like she ever even lost consciousness.
I was in a car crash where the car flipped twice and landed back on its wheels. Minor visible injuries to my shoulder but was unconscious when first responders arrived.
That wouldn't make sense in her story because everyone who was a first responder thought she was fine enough to take a picture so again she was probably not unconscious
I'm sure she wouldn't know if they even had a reaction if she was unconscious.
Similarly it's one quick pulse check to determine oh no this person is alive.
Plus I'm no first responder but I'm sure they don't visibly panic when they see someone covered in blood and supposedly dead so their reaction wouldn't even be that funny.
I don’t understand your first sentence I’m afraid - where does it say the first responders took pictures?
I wasn’t unconscious for very long and one of the paramedics who attended my accident said to me, while checking out my injuries, ‘man when I saw the state of your roof, I didn’t think you’d be awake and walking and talking within a few minutes’. Observing surprise that someone is more or less injured than suspected isn’t necessarily panicking.
She took pictures of herself. As we can see in the picture on our screens the two pictures one of herself and one of her car.
,"I didn't think you'd be awake and talking so fast" doesn't equal "I thought you were dead" one is plausible the other one isn't. And ngl he probably wasn't that shocked. Like when you say "I'm surprised you made it it's raining so hard" you're not actually surprised you're just emphasizing how unlikely them making it was and expressing that you're glad they managed to. Plus if youre a first responder you wouldn't be surprised by a bloodied person. And even if you were the chances of your surprise being visible so visible that somone decided to make an entire Facebook post is low.
Your story isn't really funny,(no offense). Because it's realistic. The cops weren't shocked that you started speaking and clapped for you. In this story we are led to believe that she got into a car crash and when the paramedics came they were ready to put her in a body bag but oh wait Haha she's alive. So funny. That probably didn't happen. She probably got into a crash on Halloween and needed a funny story to go along.
Ok dude. Seems to me you’re making a lot of assumptions about situations you weren’t present for. And have no idea that shock and trauma can manifest in strange ways - like laughing about a situation that objectively isn’t funny. For me at least, the paramedic’s face and tone told me that he had been very concerned for my life. And, yeah, I made some stupid jokes about it afterwards, it’s called a coping mechanism.
Woah man relax I wasn't meaning to offend you. If you were still 'coping' with the situation why bring it up? I would've 100% not known if you hadn't told me.
I was just saying how your story isn't funny because it's true!Whilst her story is framed as some hilarious silly thing that happened.
Either way you can believe it if you want to the world will infact keep spinning.
I’m not still coping with this situation - I was empathising and referring to why the girl might have posted the story, why she might have framed in a comedic way.
You seem to have a problem with comprehension and also empathy, which might go a long way to explaining why you can’t seem to interpret these stories as true to life.
Yeah you're definitely pissed off go to therapy or some shit idk what to tell you.
You throwing a piss party online because you crashed your car isent my business. You seem to still be "traumatized" and feeling obligated to believe it because you're coping.
Stories can be true to life and also be a lie. A story about me going skydiving can be true to life because people do that all the time. Irl I could never go skydiving.
I have a granny that just be experiencing shit and telling me about it, however I don't believe everyone's grandmothers stories.
You seem far more pissed off than me bud, considering the tone of the language you are throwing around. Must be all those downvotes disagreeing with you huh? Sounds like your party is pissier than mine.
I was simply pointing out that this story could be true based on my experience. I don’t know if it is true or not but it could be. I thought that’s what this sub was about. You seem to think it’s about you being right and not accepting any other version of events.
You don’t know anything about me, other than what I’ve told you, so please forgive me if I don’t take your judgements to heart.
No he’s saying that the first responders allowed her to take a photo so she can’t have been unconscious (??) Even though the photos could have been taken by literally anyone else other than either the girl or the responders.
I don’t know, it was confusing to me to but that’s what I eventually concluded was meant.
I have no idea what they meant, it seems like they don’t understand that she didn’t necessarily take a selfie immediately? Like she easily could have taken the picture after she was stabilized. Just because it’s right next to the pic of the car doesn’t mean they were taken in the same moment.
And like she has a roof over her head in the selfie meanwhile the car is in a parking lot looking thing so most likely she took the picture at home before she left or later when she was trying to tell friends/family what happened and what her costume was.
Obviously the girl is taking the picture? Are you slow? Like genuinely asking. You can see her arms stretched out as she is holding the phone it's a selfie?!?!
"She was fine enough to take the picture" And it's obviously her who is taking the picture. I don't think you're paying attention look at the picture again and tell me who is taking the picture? Is it her, a bystander, or a first responder?
I called it a selfie. How are you reading it that I think someone else took the picture? Can you just respond to what I actually said instead of what you imagine I said?
Commenting and deleting, commenting and deleting. Clearly you are still suffering from a head trauma acquired during the crash.
Let me take that little piece of advice and give that right back to you. You need it hun. Also you should strive to be less passive aggressive and more direct. Plus with your mental state I don't think you should be giving out advice. Keep it to yourself:).
Ironically r/thatHappened and r/nothingeverhappens are the exact same of people pointing at each other and laughing because they are more intelligent than the others.
I hate opposing subs because most times the people are just as stupid as each other and it's so annoying to read over something that's clearly a lie and all the Facebook moms on this sub are insisting it's true.
Sometimes this subreddit is right and something the other is, but what annoys me is that most times is just both of them being so stupid it looks like a bot fight.
Like, most of the times the discussion is:
"My child said *generic thing*"
"Noooo, people under 20 years cant even speak"
"Noooo, 3 year old children can be experts in economy and politics, why are they so dumb?"
I also hate the very generic. "My 3 yr old said fuck"
"That's a lie"
Like kids do say stuff.
But I also hate when stories people tell are obviously insanely stretched truths and people are like "um So kids can't talk anymore?" Yeah they can but this child obviously didn't explain quantum physics.
Or the "it's a hyperbole"
Adding things to a story to make it funnier becomes outright lying if the sentence sets us up to believe that what you're saying is true. The point of hyperbole is dramatizing something for effect.
Falling and saying "ow omg maybe my foot is broken" obviously hyperbole you're 16 your foot didn't break from a tiny fall. "Ow now my foots sore" not a good hyperbole because that's a plausible reality. It would be realistic for her foot to be sore. You get? Sometimes someone will outrightly insinuate something truly happened and ppl on r/nothing ever happens will be like "it's for comedic effect"
I cut you, you're staggering around bleeding, on a normal day help is immediate, but on Halloween, it could be fake. Sure, you could yell for help, but what if it was along your throat, or something? What if the OOP had had a passenger who really was badly hurt, and triage was slowed? I'm a worrier, sure, but I'm not wrong.
In March of this year I was driving to my sister’s house, but I was leaving straight from a comic con while dressed in full Lolita gear because I was dressed as Chi from Chobits.
There was a four car collision that I narrowly avoided because I swerved into the other lane just before I could ram into the last car in the pile up. Several cars were stopping to check on everyone, but there was no way I was getting out in a big pink frilly dress and wig, so I kept driving and didn’t stop even when I dragged someone’s bumper.
First responders aren't going to assume that someone is dead just because they're covered in blood. Unless your head's removed or something, they're going to check your pulse first.
It doesn’t say how long they thought she was dead. It’s perfectly possible she was briefly unconscious, they thought she was dead just looking at her, took her pulse and realized she was alive and then she woke up and they told her she’d scared them.
They never thought she was dead. Another commenter linked an article and it only says that she was conscious the entire time and reassuring people the blood was fake. So most of it did happen but she absolutely did exaggerate for the sake of a funnier tweet
Saw I don't know which youtuber talking about when they found his wife asleep in the bath, but she was using red dyed soap, and the first image of her laying down in red water, says him was traumatizing
That sounds fuck terrifying
It was originally a Reddit post!
Next your going to tell me they don't actually arrest people that are dressed up in silly costumes. Also they sure don't arrest people dressed as Santa Claus around Christmas time.
they let the costumes slide unless actual crimes are happening. Santa’s safe every December.
My sister has a mugshot with a sexy firefighter costume lmao
My mom got into a crash once while she had containers of pickled beets in her car. Beet juice all over her. The first responders thought she was bleeding out.

Thousands of people every year: dressing up as zombies or Carrie or Final Girls or whatever
Cars: still get in accidents on Halloween the way they do every other day of the year
Knee-jerk Internet skeptics: DASS UMPOZZIBLE

I don't believe this ngl and I hate that this sub doesn't know what a half Truth is. Or acts purposefully dumb.
"I went out with my friends and I literally saw a gorilla skateboarding down Central park. "
Yeah it's believable that I went out with friends that's not the problem. The part people are questioning is not the car crash.
Idk I've never been in a car crash but it looks to me like the car is upright, and she looks fairly alright (besides the fake blood).
How would a paramedic see her un injured in an upright car eyes open and alert, and think oh she's definitely dead.
Nobody thought she was dead. Bleeding (maybe) but nobody thought she was dead.
there was a news article written about this. the paramedics did freak out. you can google it
Yes, and in the article, she even says that she was trying to reassure the first person to discover the wreck (the one who called the first responders) that she was fine and it was fake.
This is the classic "that happened/nothing ever happens" type of story, because the crash really did happen and the article proves it happened, but she exaggerated it in the tweet because it doesn't sound like she ever even lost consciousness.

No? When did I say that? "She was fine enough to take a picture"
Key word. she. Meaning the girl herself. I hope that didn't come off rude but I'm so confused on how this is getting misinterpreted
You may want to reread your comment. “Everyone who was a first responder thought she was fine enough to take a picture”
"She was fine enough to take the picture" And it's obviously her who is taking the picture. I don't think you're paying attention look at the picture again and tell me who is taking the picture? Is it her, a bystander, or a first responder?
Can you just explain what you meant when you said “everyone who was a first responder thought she was fine enough to take a picture” specifically
I called it a selfie. How are you reading it that I think someone else took the picture? Can you just respond to what I actually said instead of what you imagine I said?
And it did come off as rude because it was rude. Work on your social skills.

Do you think that I’m the person in the picture….?
Ok you're definitely slow or suffering from a brain injury
You are obviously not the person in the picture. I believe you are even a man.

I really don't like lots of fake blood for Halloween. Legitimate safety issue.
How is it a safety issue?

I think a collapsed person on the ground will draw some eyes
That’s long past your golden window of medical survival.
By the time you collapse, your odds are way worse.

I think the wording might be exaggerated but it still happened, she probably meant that they assumed she was seriously injured when she wasn't
