Camera Man waits til death and then goes on one of the ask reddits... um yeah we were swimming and a octopus strangled him for 43 minutes kind of came out of nowhere, after i got the files downloaded and gave it a good polish in editing I went back to my mate who still isn't breathing. What do I do now ?

Would you believe i got in trouble by my stepdad and the family at 12 years old when my 9 year old cousin and I got sucked into the ocean rip tide and needed saving by the lifeguard. I was helping her, so was on the verge of drowning. When I saw the lifeguard was close, I booked it to the shore. I did almost drown. And I got in so much trouble for not staying behind to wait till the lifeguard reached her. I quite literally got in trouble for not drowning. It became an AITA family edition that night at dinner. I got the silent treatment the rest of the trip.

It's always family that shit on you for doing things they'd never display the empathy to do themselves.

Facts, there was 6 adults there at the least and not a single one even got their ankles wet when they saw what was happening. I was the step kid from another marriage and they all hated me. My mom included. They were angry I survived lol. They saw an easy way out but dang, there I go surviving again. 😂

He just wanted to preserve his immortality in case the octopus came at him next
