OMG. I have one!!! XD
I work overnights at Walfart, er.... Walmart LOL and our Co-Manager became head over overnights where he works 4 straight days and then has 4days off, pattern continues. He is your stereotypical african-american business man in a suit that HATES germs or anything gross. He really favors me because I knock all the freight out fast and work multiple areas, then I "zone" or tidy up those areas. I work about 2-4 depts a night like Grocery isles, HBA, toys, stationary/crafts, and even electronics. He calls me a super worker, both my husband and I. As some you know im veg which means I have a HIGH fiber diet and I continously eat. Inbetween my two hour breaks, I usually HAVE to go poop. At least once every 4 hours or so. Well Mr. Manager, lets call him K, loves to stand in electronics all day and have us call extensions via the work phone to see how we are doing versus walking around. He ALWAYS paged me over the intercom to call extension 105 alllll the time when I was pooping. Yup. See.... electronics is right next to the closest bathroom and I know that he sees me RUN to the bathrooms when i got the diglets. One time I was going to the bathroom and he paged me several times. I got fed up. I walked up to him and said, "K. Hows come everytime I go to the bathroom to poop, you page me!? This is the 5th time in a row! I cant pinch that fast! You know I eat nothing bit grass and stuff so from now on if you see me run to the bathroom please dont page me." He had this gross, discusted look on his face and said," Lord forbid I know what you are doing in there or I wouldnt page you! Im sorry!"
So he stops paging me and continues to page everyone else... "so-and-so call ext 105".....over the intercom. Once I was working in infants which is next door to electronics and he actually would walk to my dept and ask how im doing with the freight in person because he didnt know if I was pooping or not and didnt wanna call me. Weeelllll...... i had NO idea he was standing next to me when I was bending over to stock the sippy cups and I let a ripe juicy one loose. Yup. A big nasty fart. I just went to the restroom before and did my business so it was loud and proud. I hear K all of a sudden say, "UH thats NASTY!" and makes a gross face and runs off. I BUST out laughing so hard. He NEVER bothered me again. EVER! I actually saw him working at another store today LOLOLOLOL maybe I scared him off! The other employees always talk about how I farted near him without me noticing LOL. I never got in trouble at all either for any of that LOLOLOL.
Not very princess-like to fart in public that that but I thought I was alone, I SWEAR! xD
I've worked retail for years so I have plenty of stories, but the worst one happened last fall. I work at a movietheatre and besides selling tickets and concession we also have to check the toilets, refill papers and soap etc. One evening it was just me and two coworkers when a customer came up saying it smells really bad of poop from one of the stalls in the ladies restroom. Me being the only female staff on duty had to check it out. Turned out somebody had pooped on the floor and smeared it allover and finally left a nasty pile of toiletpaperpoop at the wall. Considering the day of the week and time in the evening it had to be an adult doing that. I was also the one who had to clean it up.. I can easily say I've never hated my life or people as much as I did that evening.
I get peed on, on a regular basis... And sometime my patients wanna eat me!
Sukey do we work at the same place... I just went threw some major drama at my job and today I accepted a new job because of it. Actually my coworkers are amazing. It was issues with the office managers and owners.
Ahh yes the escaping dog. Have had that happen twice because the owners put the collars on too loose!
How about a exploratory surgery that turned out to be a used maxi pad... That had been sitting in the dogs stomach for two days. The smell was so rancid!

Yep! Been there and cleaned up similar.
I worked in retail for 15 years and most of my stories are REALLY gross and not PG13.
It is beggars belief what customers do and get away with :mad: :X

I can actually say that is rather tame as to what I've had to clean up at work.

You know, working with kids or elderly it's kind of expected. My boyfriend works at a nursinghome and can tell stories of diarreahparties that would make people throw up listening to. But we two were talking retail where poop on the floor is not a daily business and not what we expect to deal with and I think you calling our stories lame is kind of rude considering our different workenviroments.

I don't have one story but many smaller ones. I worked security for years, and when I started out I did a lot of bouncing and event type work. I have been scratched, pissed on, spat on and even had to perform cpr on an od at a concert.
I now work in childcare, so the nasty stuff gets worse lol. On a very regular basis (sometimes daily, but sometimes I may have a day or two incident free) I have been vomited on (yesterday was the last vomit that landed directly on me) urinated on, sometimes I have been pooped on, I also work with quiet a few additional needs children which I absolutely love, but at times they can and will lash out. Its rare a day goes by I am not hit, kicked, scratched or bitten. I had one do all that in the space of a couple of minutes yesterday whilst I tried to change his nappy. Unfortunately most of the girls I work with have no idea how to handle these children, they are either scared of them or can be too confronting for them which can make a bad situation esculate quickly.
I think the worst few moments were being projectile vomited on, and pretty much my front from the neck down, including my arms, was covered in vomit. I vomited myself once trying to clean poo out of a pair of undies. Nobody should have to do that, and if I was a parent I feel the jocks would go straight in the bin. And lastly I had one child rip their nappy off and swing it around their head like a lassoo, I have never been so glad NOT to see poo in a nappy before or after.
Most of the really bad things I am not allowed to legally tell anyone about. :-p
Hmmm... I think the worst day at my job was when they fired my best friend. I am walking to work, get there at like 9am, suddenly the HR manager LEAPS out the front door at me, grabs me and starts telling me in a forced whisper, "You cannot go inside! Don't go upstairs! Go to the coffeeshop - the other girls are there too!"
It should have occurred to me what was going on but it was really weird how they kept us all at the coffeeshop - everytime one of us would open the front door and try to leave, a staff member would lean out the front door from the office down the street and yell, "NO! GO BACK INSIDE!" In total, the whole experience took about 2 hours but I was in panic mode until we were allowed back into our office later that morning. It was like... the opposite of lockdown but just as creepy!
Wth, but why? o_o

Because apparently she threw quite the temper tantrum, she had to be physically escorted from the building, and it wasn't anything that HR wanted us to see. :( We are never allowed to witness "the end" for any of our co-workers. On days when we are told not to come in until 10 am, we know what's happening....

I really didn't have any work horror stories... until about a week and a half ago.SpoilerI work in a book warehouse. This particular day I was working in my favorite location - the Disney books. :biggrin: My job is to take the books out of plastic totes and put them in a VERY large cardboard box. And you can't just throw the books it. They have to be stacked in there neatly. We have different patterns we use for different books. The Disney location is one of the hardest because the books are all different shapes and sizes. I've been doing this job for ten years so I've developed a system. I am very good at building safe, sturdy pallets that won't fall apart when a forklift moves them.
On this day I had been at it by myself for a couple hours. Then another worker came over to help me. She's only been here for maybe a month. This was my first time interacting with her. Well, her "help" really wasn't helpful. She was putting the book in all wrong. Everything our supervisor tells us NOT to do, she was doing. I gently tried to instruct her on the correct way to pack the books. She starts screaming and cussing at me! Telling me that she knows what she's doing, that she's doing it right and that I have no business telling her how to do her job! :shocked: Since she wasn't going to take my advise or follow my lead, I decided to just fix her mistakes as she made them. That didn't last long. She started screaming and cussing at me for touching her books! She said I was doing it just to make her mad. (That's not the words she used. The mods won't let me use the words that she used.) Finally she stormed off to another location and I was able to clean up her mess in peace. But that wasn't the end of it. I got moved to the location she stormed off to. When I got there, she flipped me the finger!!! :shocked:
My supervisor wasn't at work that day. But the next morning she got an ear full about what happened. She had a little chat with my coworker about her... less than stellar behavior. Then last week, I saw the same girl getting another talking to. She's not going to last long. I'll be glad when she get fired. She scares me! :yikes:

I used to work at a childrens indoor soft playcentre and i have so many delightful stories form that place lol XD Seriously the parents in those places are awful. But i have this one story that is forever burned into my mind above all of the kids pooing in the frames and vomiting in the ball pools.
I was working the reception with two hours left of my shift when a dad came over to me, looking quite upset and told me his daughter had been bitten in the frame. Not an unusual thing. The kids were forever doing things like that to each other. Leaving another girl on reception, i walked over to his table with him expecting to see a little kid with a mark on their arm or something. However the little girl was about nine and was in floods of tears which i found odd over a bite. Her dad then lifted her shirt up to show me her back and i could only describe the bite as looking like she'd been attacked by a dog. It was bright purple and red from the bruising with blood running down it and i could see just about every tooth mark. I was so shocked i didn't know what to say. After a moment i ran back to reception and put a call out for a first aider before going back to the family and asking the father if he could join me in the frames to find the child that had done it as obviously i'd need to talk to the parents. He agreed but on my way there i got stopped by another kid, maybe about ten with a bite mark on his arm, though no where near as severe, who was crying because him and his two year old sister had been bitten. I left the dad for a minute and went with the ten year old and found that his sister had a mark on her shoulder like what the other girl had. It genuinely looked like someone had tried to rip her shoulder off. Her mum was just as upset so i told the boy to run over to reception to get the first aider for his sister before i went into the frames.
Straight away it was a lot quieter than it should be in there and i looked around for this child that was biting people. We had three huge frames then so it wasn't easy. Eventually i found this kid surrounded by angry adults. He had to be about five and was swearing at the adults who practically had him cornered. I stepped in to diffuse the situation but i heart rate was through the roof. I genuinely thought they were going to attack him, they looked so angry. I told them to go back to their children and that i'd take this boy over to his parents. I took his hand to lead him away but he was swearing at me and trying to scratch me.
I'd just got him out of the frame and turned to him to ask him where his mum was as i needed to talk to her when someone came running over at me, screaming and shoved me before grabbing the kid. Then his mum got right up in my face yelling and threatening me. I can be very calm even in situations like this so i tried to explain what had happened but i knew i was sweating and shaking. There were no other staff members around and we were hidden from all other areas of the center where staff would be except for the bar area (but they were too busy slacking off to keep an eye on things even though i tried to get their attention). So just when i thought this woman was going to thump me, the other parents who i'd managed to disperse, came running back over and got between me and the mother and started yelling at her which resulted in her starting to attack them. At this point i ran to the bar and screamed for another member of staff to get me more help, get a manager and call security. It was absolutely insane.
Eventually security came and hauled the kid, his mother and mother's friend from the centre but they were swearing and trying to attack them. I was totally shook up from it all. It had been terrifying even though it was just for a few minutes. The other parents were great about the whole thing and understood, as a centre, there was nothing else we could have done. Though i had to get statements from them all to send to the police. In all i think ten to fifteen children had been bitten in various stages from what i was initially expecting to what had happened to the nine year old and two year old.
It was by far the worst day i had working there and i worked through a lot of things that would have likely made other people quit. Those few moments when it was just me and the mother were legitimately scary as there was no one else there to help me.
I worked at a mcdonalds for about two years. The usual rude customer and drama was a daily thing. But there have been quite a few events that really stand out.
There was a three month period of the sewage pipes in the building blocking up and over flowing, so all three bathrooms would be flooded and unusable. But what was worst was, somehow with how the pipes worked, it also flooded the kitchen. How the owner let it go on that long that our kitchen was being flooded with 1-3 inches of poop water, I'll never know.
There was this one customer in particular that would get very very upset if his order was wrong. One of the first big events was, his order was wrong, he got angry. He then left the store and shot out an employee's car window.
He was banned from the dinning area for that. Of course they still let him go through the drive-thru for some unknown reason. Which leads to my personal nightmare. He comes through drive-thru, I'm working the second window, I had him his food, and of course, something is wrong. He immediately freaks out and throws the sandwich back in my face and is screaming. It took everything in me to just stay calm, walk away and get a manager. He was finally completely banned after that.
Theres also all the schedule drama too, that's always fun. So one manager in particular would change the schedule after everyone already got their hours for the week, with out telling anyone. So many people got in trouble for that, and that's part of the reason I got fired. How am I supposed to show up for work when my own schedule is being changed behind my back? Same manager was also scheduling people for 5 hour and 45-55 minute shifts so they wouldn't have to give anyone breaks.
I'm so glad to not be there anymore.
^Maddie, im an overnight stocker too! ^ͺ^ ive been doing that fpr 3 years now, and I agree! Problems are sort-of-rare. We get customers who are theifs every now and then at about 3am as well as a few drunks LOL but otherwise my job is.... ok. And thank GOSH im not in maintenence!!!! Our friend is on maintenence (the obe who cleans the bathrooms) and ooooh man the stories he tells me of what he finds in the toilets (and on the FLOOR next to the toilet) SCARE me! D: he will share that stuff on break, like, "oh MAN i just cleaned the front-end girls' bathroom and someone left _____ on ______!" (usually poop, used pads, omg and....vomit!) X'(
