Damn that gym equipment causing such a serious mersa infection really got me. I don't like a lot of germs but the way that stuff esclates...yeesh! As always absolutely love these stories❤❤❤
yes that one was def scary, but the fact he didn't go to the hospital for multiple days on end while the injury continued to get worse is what actually made the story super scary! i was silently screaming in my head as the OP kept ignoring his worsening symptoms lol
Yeah I'd also use disinfectant alcohol asap, instead of rubbing a bearly bleeding cut with an "abrasive sponge" til it gets even more irritated bc the dirt gets deeper inside. Don't know about infections from gyms specifically, but in this case it's not easy to tell, if it got so bad from the gym, from the rubbing or from both, bc a sponge he'd likely already used multiple times before isn't as clean as one might think, despite the soap he used. Not sure if he could've avoided the mrsa infection all together, but the alcohol certainly doesn't hurt ... I mean, yes it does burn for a moment but would've had a high chance to kill the bacteria from an initially very superficial wound.
I had a freak case of flesh-eating bacteria six years back so right when I heard the guy in story 7 talk about the small cut I knew exactly where it was going. I can't tell if the guy in that story had the necrotizing fasciitis with his MRSA, but either way that's absolutely terrifying and I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. I'm glad to hear that he's okay though. Thank you for telling this story and bringing it to everyone's attention Let's Read!
Been grappling, wrestling for years caught ring worm once never caught staph thankfully but I know people who have and its a absolute nightmare. This was before the days of defense soap. Cleanliness and maintenance is a top priority for me at fitness, martial arts clubs now.
That happened to a friend of mine, you really have to be careful in a gym, why I workout at home, my garage is like a gym, how ever when I do go to a gym I use alcohol wipes then put a towel over the equipment before I use it.💪😀
The first story, I mean if I had a stalker like that, I wouldn't want to go anywhere and just stay home.. Just awful . Thank you Let's Read,for years of entertaining story tellings!I started listening to your channel 5yrs ago,when I was going through a really bad time,and your voice got me through those awful times,at night when I couldn't sleep and had nightmares , bizarrely I could sleep with your videos in the background ! So thank you so much for helping me! Lots of love !!
If you EVER have this happen to you, do not allow him to continue following you until he finds out who you are, where you live, and where your family lives. Ask one of the gym dudes to help you out, confront the problem, and get a restraining order.
Yeah I would’ve quit that gym as soon as I got the first letter after noticing him previously 😂🤦🏼♀️ stalkers are terrifying, ignoring them only gives them more time to fall deeper into obsession
I believe in going to the gym already dressed in my gym clothes and leave in my gym clothes to bathe at home. That’s the benefit of going to a gym near home.
I believe in working out at home or at the park in complete privacy and nature. It's more relaxing. Don't have deal with crowds, wait for equipment, waste time driving etc etc. A jump rope, yoga matt, barbells, all you really need to stay fit and in shape( unless you're a bodybuilder or something,). Plus I save thousands! I don't understand people that go to the gym. I think they just like to socialize with strangers. You can buy a whole gym paying 100.00 a month for years and years.
Lol, I love how much people think just because some dude is a huge muscle bound twat that he will kick people's ass...... I'm a relatively small guy but who is an ex boxer and I LOOOOOVE when gigantor DudeBros think they're gonna beat me up. Just because dude's are huge, muscle freaks that doesn't mean that they can even properly throw a decent punch.
People in these stories are always like “and he had a knife, a bomb, a gun, duct tape, rope.. I don’t know what their intentions were for me” … I think their intention is pretty clear. 😂
Has anyone ever told you that your voice is like butter on cornbread. Delish. Chefs kiss. I've watched you for 6 years now and I CANNOT believe I have never told you that. Bc i say it everytime lmao
I've seen people drive past my work on flats and a rim or two at least once a week (bad area). You can get pretty far on a flat if you don't mind all the extra damage you can do to surrounding panels.
I work overnight cleaning shifts at a gym, and I could tell you a horror story or two about some of the messes I've found in the toilets and showers...
Pretty much, they're out after a year and a half with "good behavior" and since parole state by state is lacking in totality offenders cant live near schools but can totally live in young children dense neighborhoods vs neighborhoods that have a more child free tone. Aka predators pick neighborhoods that meet their specific "needs" (🤮) and as long as they follow what's explicitly written in the law they're allowed to roam free. **I have a problem with this as I live in child dense neighborhood with over 100 offenders within a 2 mile radius. But because there's no actual school near me it's oooooookay.
@@titohhh420 the problem is from what I’ve looked up is that repeat offenders are hard to track which is why the recidivism rate is marked as low but in actuality it’s not even something that can be calculated. Most people who have been affected by SA don’t even report the crimes already, rape kits sit on the shelves for months at a time which is horrible bc testing for DNA has a limited time, and those who reoffend get smarter on how not to get caught. The system is essentially made for them to thrive.
I've been off from work for the past 2 weeks and REALLY look forward to watching/listening to new videos from Lets Read! Thank you Joel, every release is top notch!
Joel, I’ve had a rough day being the deputy sheriff I want to spend time with my beautiful pregnant wife and our son but I can’t spend as much time with them as I want to because I’m always working to protect the great people of the untied states I put life on the line every day for people like you Joel. I gladly do it I will continue to do it until I do it no longer. I hope you have a wonderful evening and I’ll see you Sunday Joel.
@@SuperWhatapain It’s rough sometimes but the thought of me protecting the American people that’s what makes me enjoy the job that I have it’s dangerous sometimes but it worth it.
Give Me a car a bullet land a gun and I'll cover ya for a few days. P.S. be safe out there man. And thank you. May you be blessed with a month of nothing besides no frills traffic stops!
Me, screaming at my screen over the last story: "SPIDER BITE!!!!" Despite the fact that everyone says that it's always more likely to be MRSA than a spider. I'm surprised it can get that bad that fast.
How anyone let’s their leg go on for that long without going to the ER is beyond me. Putting it off for as long as possible will just make things worse, which means spending even more money. If your leg is pus filled, no over the counter medicine is going to do anything.
I’m about to go to work, and I normally listen to you at work, but I decided to listen to this during my workout, and it’s so ironic! But the story with the women harassing that one guy, I felt really bad.
Just found your channel from "being scared" 💙♥️💜you will see a lot more of me on here💜♥️💙love your narrations, you most definitely have a new subscriber here💙♥️💜
Story 1 but if I was her: *Gets the professional bodybuilder to walk with me to confront him for obviously stalking me and get a restraining order much sooner instead of waiting for him to find where I live*
I never comment on videos but that title got me to laugh lol. Thank you so much for being amazingly consistent with your uploads, they're the one video I'm always looking forward to! (I have ADHD so seeing how committed you are to your craft is something I aspire for (I make horror video games but have a hard time disciplining myself to be consistent) , I swear you are the only TH-camr that I watch literally every video of xd for the past 4 years dude. Apologies for the long winded comment but I just wanted share how much your videos mean to me (I'm sure there's others that never comment often that agree!) As someone starting my journey I realize how important great feedback can be for motivation. Alright back to into my shell 🐢 👀
Now this drawing looks almost identical to my ex fiance weird. Loves the stories you make each one seem like a short film I can see in my head; with that voice yours. Great almost effortless job. TTFN smooches 💋
I stopped going to the gym for a variety of reasons. Creeps are just one. I bought my own equipment and turned an extra room into a gym. I’m 5ft 2in 125lbs I live and travel alone. I have cameras, guns (open carry, Texas), baton, mace, tasers, 2 Dobermans. Everyone should have at least 3 of those things. Cameras, weapon, dogs. Especially, if you’re a woman living alone.

Always bring a little bottle of alcohol, -- makes a big difference !👍💪😀
@@randybarnett2308
Yeah EXACTLY, that's what I immediately thought as well ... WHY isn't he using disinfectant alcohol asap afterwards?
Bruh. Never neglect a strange mystery itch//rash from a piece of metal at a dirty gym ... you could lose a limb.... microbiology is a trip
It was so frustrating to hear how long they waited!!

The truth is in that first story she loved the attention. That’s why she didn’t say anything until he was at her damn doorstep
I believe in going to the gym already dressed in my gym clothes and leave in my gym clothes to bathe at home. That’s the benefit of going to a gym near home.
Some guy once told me he took shower at the gym to save on his water bill.

Thanks homie, we love your vids
Thank you.
You really helped me out of this panic attack. I couldn't talk. You helped me zone out and relax. I really appreciate you. 🙏🏼
*obligatory medical over-share comment*
Second story makes me smile because I know Roid Man has a teenie weenie and now all the inmates know it.
🏆
That lady in story 6 was so lucky that the crazy guy who tried to break into her car didn't decide to slash her tyres; preventing her escape😧😧
She's lucky she found a guy to support her and never got arrested for murder or a hit-and-run.
She really is, now that I think about it
I've seen people drive past my work on flats and a rim or two at least once a week (bad area). You can get pretty far on a flat if you don't mind all the extra damage you can do to surrounding panels.
Wonderful! Thanks Joel!
Wait so the first girl in the story gets harassed for weeks and doesn’t lock her windows lmao
I mean... She wasn't the brightest at all
That last one was definitely scary 😨 seeing as that could actually happen to anyone!!! I've fallen in love 🥰 with this channel Thanks Let's Read
Normalize saying something the first time! The story with the letters. Don’t be afraid to get others in trouble for their own actions.
