[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teenager, I worked for a family with small-ish children. The parents would often go out for work events I would stay with the kids and the dad's grandfather, who was around 98 at the time and had no short-term memory or mobility. I wasn't technically in charge of him, but it sort of worked out that way. One time, the parents were out for a couple of hours and the grandpa fell out of his wheelchair. He was upstairs, so I didn't notice until a kid went up to grab a book and saw him lying there. His eyes were closed, so we called 911. We all rode to the hospital and Grandpa was fine, he'd just fallen asleep after hitting his head, but we obviously couldn't take him home. I called up the mom, who answered and was very, very drunk. I was maybe 15 and I could tell there was no way this woman was going to drive anywhere. It took an hour for their aunt to arrive from several counties over, declare there wasn't space for me in the car, and take everyone else while leaving me in the hospital parking lot. Another hour for my parents to come get me. I never saw them again and never got paid for that five hour babysitting gig, either. Although, I saw one of their kids a year or two later, and he informed me that Grandpa died two weeks after the incident. So, maybe I should just be glad I missed that chapter.[/quote]

That is, without a doubt, the worst babysitting story ever.  You win.
