WHEN PEOPLE REFLECT

I dont know what made me think of this but the scariest night I have ever had in whilst I have had the pub was the strangest.

It was a Tuesday night a few yeras ago now and there was this group of 30/40something men in. We had finished serving and they were the last to leave. It was getting on to about 11.30 then one of them just started screaming and throwing himself around the place. They all jumped on him and loads of tables and chairs went flying. They told me to ring an ambulance. The noise coming from this man was incredible, so piercingly loud. Turns out he had a pacemaker fitted and it was shorting out on him for no reason. His mates had seen it happen before so knew what to do.

Then it would sort itself out and he would be ok, not knowing of course what had happened then it would happen again. He'd be crying and screaming and threatening his mates telling them to get off him. They knew he didnt know what he was doing so carried on holding him down. It was so sad, It went on for about half an hour before the ambulance. 3 of my neighbours called the cops cos they thought it was going off in here.

I'm telling you, we dont know how lucky we are half the time.
