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. :-pHmmm... 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. 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! 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!!! 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! sailorstitch
