Worst places to have a nosebleed, derived from personal experience, and not in any particular…
- During wrestling practice, while getting cross-faced.
- After a swimming final, because you confuse the blood dripping down your face with water, and don’t realize it until you see it all over your feet…and you have 5 minutes to stop the bleeding before your relay final, because you know you aren’t allowed to expose the water to such a biohazard.
- While lifeguarding on stand. You have to depend on delinquent children to get you a tissue/your manager, or face the alternative of bleeding into your 1 of 2 work shirts until someone else notices.
- During 400 repeats on the track.
- While eating.
- While in the shower, for similar reasons as #2. You don’t notice until it looks like Psycho happened in your own personal bathroom.
- In the car with your dad. He usually doesn’t have napkins handy like your mom, and instead, you must cram pieces of newspaper into your nose.
- During an orchestra concert.
- In chemistry lab, while working with things with weird titles like sodium permanganate and hydrocloric acid.
- While painting a watercolor.
