I think I may have witnessed the world's worst suicide attempt today.
I was at work (I'm a truck driver) driving through Bridgewater town centre when I noticed a paramedic and a policeman attempting to stop a bloke throwing himself off a bridge. He was balling his eyes out whilst clinging to the railings on the ROAD side of the bridge wearing swimming shorts (no shit) and a waterproof coat. Both the paramedic and the copper were keeping a respectful distance and making attempts to calm this wailing idiot down with little success by the looks of things. I was stopped at a light at the time and had a good view of the scene so I decided to grab my phone and take a photo only for the copper to tell me off and tell me to be on my way, so I did as I was told and drove on only to notice in my trucks mirrors that the bridge this twat was clinging to was only around 10 feet above the water! What a fucking loser.
Anyone witnessed / heard of a more pathetic suicide attempt than that?
