AIBU to think if you just start opening doors in a hospital you are going to come across a body? Its so obvious he's looking for compo ''Horrified'' ''shook'' ''upset'' ''I could have had my little son with me''.

They must struggle to cope with everyday life if this has had such an effect on them.

It's a dead body in a bed in hospital. They need to get over it.

I can't say i'm overwhelmed with sympathy tbh

Oh it's the Worcester News. My local rag. Where do they get these people?

Their stories are usually Hmm. My favourite by far is this one

If you like compo faces, follow the 'Angry People in Local Newspapers' Facebook page.

I deal with bodies roughly once a month.

It's no biggie.

Why were they wandering randomly round a hospital? Easter Egg Hunt?

User543210 · 08/04/2017 20:35

Vim that's where I got this gem!

A trained chef and although money is tight he splashed out on an Adsa takeaway. I'm sure he could have knocked something up for half the price.

I'm glad this horror was so bad he inflicted on his brother in law too. That's what they get for poking around

Am I the only one who read the title and thought Compo out of Last of the Summer Wine?

ThoraGruntwhistle · 08/04/2017 20:41

I wonder if they've ever been caught lingering in the fruit and veg aisle in case any soft fruits land on the floor, so they can run at them at full speed, slip over and then claim compensation for their raspberry based injuries.

He's only 43? The shock has aged him 15 years

SueGeneris · 08/04/2017 20:43

No, me too user147!

Actually still don't know what the compo bit means.

KingJoffreysRestingCuntface · 08/04/2017 20:44

I hated Compo from Last Of The Summer Wine.

You can't stick a sex pest in a wooly hat and wellies and he suddenly becomes quirky and adorable.

SueGeneris · 08/04/2017 20:44

Oh, compensation.

SueGeneris · 08/04/2017 20:45

Tbf the whole of Last of the Summer Wine was shit though.

Not that I'm defending the woolly-hatred sex pest.

SailAwayWithMeHoney · 08/04/2017 20:45

I love compo faces! The local paper is always good for that, where I live the customary sad face gets rated out of 10 in the comment section Grin

WorraLiberty · 08/04/2017 20:47

''Horrified'' ''shook'' ''upset'' ''I could have had my little son with me''

Sounds like your average Mumsnetter, reacting to a supermarket cashier commenting on their shopping Grin

neonrainbow · 08/04/2017 20:52

Ordeal?!

All toilet doors in hospitals have toilet signs on! Surely a reasonable human would have quietly closed the door and alerted a nurse, not called his mate for a look and then gone to the papers? Disrespectful arse.

So how much is the enquiry and subsequent probable compo claim going to cost an already struggling NHS?
Because someone forgot to lock a door - how dare any medical professional with sick patients to care for be human and forget something......

I saw this on Facebook. His 'ordeal', what about the family of The deceased, who have probably suffered a sudden loss. I think they are the ones going through a far worse 'ordeal'

Questioningeverything · 08/04/2017 21:17

Daily mail sad face. Toilets have clear signs. Nosy Parker looking for something he shouldn't be more like than looking for a toilet. Probably hoped it was the supplies cupboard

"Am I the only one who read the title and thought Compo out of Last of the Summer Wine?"

No, I thought that too!

YouTheCat · 08/04/2017 21:35

I thought it was a thread about Composhat. Grin
