Full Moon Lunacy

[TBBills Fan]

The Full moon is tomorrow I believe.  Now I know many dont put stock in things astrological that cant be truly measured.....

 

but.....

 

I find and believe the full moon (day before up to 2 days after) causes people to lose their minds or push them over the edge.

 

So first responders...those that work in hospitals, police officers, paramedics and those that work with the public...have you noticed an uptick in events and occurences every month during the full moon?

[Marv's Neighbor]

Absolutely see it at Airports, and people using airlines.  Sometimes the tin foil hats help!

My son is a nurse at a hospital. Critical care and/or emergency department, depending on where he is needed.  He swears that the full moon results in more admissions. 

[TBBills Fan]

Ive heard the same from first responders.  Ive been watching this issue for 2 years and i swear i believe it to be true

 

I think, not sure there may be statistics that could even back it up

 

Now the cool question is why?

[Another Fan]

Yes.  Today someone was shot and murdered in a gas store robbery close by.  And to quote from Home Alone I live on the boringest street in the United States of America where nothing remotely dangerous will ever happen.  

 

Even before this incident I do believe a full moon increases this type of behavior

Police departments actually have a larger force working during full moons so it must be true. That isnt to say more crime actually happens though

I think my problem is my half moon lunacy is so competitive, it pushes things to new heights.

Send lawyers for the future court cases, guns because you know Zevon’s old man was a tad Purple, and money to pay off when things go South.  Explains perfectly well how bat crap crazy people get during a full moon guess they are just excitable boys and girls. 

Full moon so close to Christmas; glad not to endure the retail level of craziness.  Nothing like seeing someone spitting chew on display products (and denying it) or soomeone being so wasted they piss on a store wall.  Got to say at least nobody has ever crapped on a store sales floor that I have worked on.

Keep off the moors, stick to the roads.

Moons out it's brighter out so people wander around and do stupid *****.

RN here.

 

Absolutely the full man makes people bonkers.  Many elderly have what’s called “sundowners” - get more confused and tough to handle at night.  But full moon crazy is in a category by itself.  Definite incresae in patients punching, biting, fighting, wandering, yelling.  Honestly, you can feel an overall increased tension sometimes, even with younger patients.

I work in the ER and I can see why many of you believe it brings out the crazies.

 

however, IMO, the ER is busy 24/7 with crazies. the moon doesn’t effect it.

A superstitious belief in medieval Europe was that changes in the moon's phases could cause madness or insanity in certain people. Thus those showing mentally unstable behavior, particularly those deemed violent in nature, were branded as 'afflicted by the moon', moon-sick, or lunatic (from Latin Luna for Moon).

 

If it’s on the internet, it must be true

Not quite a superstition.  The moon goes thru a cycle every 28 days.  Women also go thru a 28 day cycle and can get crazy at the apex of their cycle

Full moon with snow on the ground, it's so bright it is basically day time.  Love it.

Well, that would explain the affinity for ‘Trooper’.

 

And OP...’astronomical’.
