People are pathetic.
That's why their voice gets a little ring of glee when they just have to ask the cop, medic, firefighter... etc. "What's the worse thing you've ever seen?"
They want some cool story about body parts strewn across three lanes of traffic... or something to that effect.
What they don't realize is that we deal with life. Unfortunately life does not need blood and gore to qualify for the worse...
Last year it was knocking on a door at 5 AM New Years morning to tell the kids that their parents wouldn't be coming home...
Last week it was a dementia ridden 66 year old lady that had to be taken to the hospital on life support. Her 22 year old gran-daughter thought it was best to remove her from assisted living and stick her in the spare bedroom. Besides, she could make her rent that way.
"I wasn't supposed to be alone and 82..." Last night it was Virginia's cries that actually woke her neighbors at two in the morning. Her husband of 60 years had unexpectedly passed, leaving her with no direction, or even hope at this stage of her life.

Hitting them with the truth instead of entertainment, that’s a great manoeuvre. Sometime you’ll have to tell us what your best experience is.
