I think retail taught me that people don't magically mature as they get older. You get some 13 year old people in the bodies of 45 year olds. How did they make it to that age?

Regular staff its probably like twice the average and managment will all smoke, pregnant or not.

When I was right out of college I took a part time as a dispatcher for a bus company while looking for a real job. Sometimes I actually got to drive the buses around and pick up old and crazy people, which was fun because driving a bus is fun and I got paid way more than the actual bus drivers. Anyway, I once had to pick up this dude, so I went to his door and he answered it. When he opened the door it was just a wave of literal poo poo smell. I looked inside and it was a hoarder's paradise. Just full of old disgusting, dirty garbage. He was in a wheelchair and made me push him onto the wheelchair lift and his wheelchair was sticky. Bad, stinky sticky. I had to drive him a few miles to a grocery store and I almost vomited because the entire bus just smelled like a big ol runny dump. It was kind of sad, but mostly disgusting. Thankfully I only had that job for three months...

I was standing outside having a smoke and a couple of metro transit buses were parked along the curb, there was a strange buzzing sound coming from one of them. I asked the driver of the front bus what was up and he said some guy came around the corner down the bus lane, scraped along the rear bus and hit the bus in front, I figured the buzzing was damage to the exhaust. As I stepped back toward the building and turned around, there was suddenly an orange glow coming from underneath the bus, so I went around it into the street to find that the vehicle that had hit it was still there, the driver was unconscious, and the buzzing sound was him holding the accelerator pinned to the floor, the glow was coming from his engine which had recently started on fire. As I approached his vehicle along with another bystander, the rear bus driver also came out and the three of us dragged him out of his car up onto the curb and shut off his vehicle. It was about that time that a Minneapolis cop showed up so I went back inside. I guess working desk jobs I haven't seen much traumatic poo poo.

I have one co worker from Vietnam who is something like 55 years old. I could tell a lot of stories about him, but he likes talking about how many hookers he has sex with to anyone who will listen. Once, I walked into the break room to find him in front of the soda fountain using the cold water to wash his dick. There was also a bit of a pigeon problem in the warehouse over the summer. Mostly it just manifested as birds flying around every now and again, and occasional bird poo poo splattered of bottles. One day, I was driving one of those power jacks around when I spot a pigeon flying through the rafters when it suddenly flies straight into a spinning ceiling fan, bounces off, and hits the ground as the air is filled with downy feathers slowly falling to the ground. The bird was in a bad way, thrashing around and making GBS threads everywhere until a co worker and I swept it out the nearest bay doors with a broom.

After installing a new fire sprinkler system and before charging it, the installers test the system for leaks with an air compressor. They fill the pipes to 250 psi and see if it holds, if it doesn't they go around with spray bottles of soapy water to check all the fittings. Now what's supposed to happen when they find one is that they relieve the pressure to tighten or reapply the fitting but of course that takes time and people love shortcuts, or, in this guys case, you've been doing this job forever and know exactly what you're doing; or so he thought. So I walk past this guy and I'm maybe five feet away when I hear what sounds like a large piece of pipe being thrown to the ground, forcefully. People drop stuff all the time so I didn't think anything of it for a few seconds until it dawned on me how quiet it was. I would've expected to hear him cussing or climbing down the ladder to retrieve it. I turn around and walk into the room and he's face down and lying still. Again my mind wants to assume the best and figures he'll pull himself up at any second. That's when the blood started to pool around his head. Not the kind I was used to though, this was strangely thick and mucussy. The 911 operator had us roll him over first thing and when we did his jaw was split up to his neck and swung to both sides like they do in that one vampire movie. And then the gasping started. It wasn't him though, just his nerves. They were those rapid shallow gasps and gurgles like you get when you're hunting and don't get a clean kill and the animals brain is trying to keep itself alive. I still get the smell of brain goo in my nostrils when I'm working around terrazzo. Oh and, we later found out that that night was supposed to be his daughters rehearsal dinner.

Healed completely too after it was attached, silvers make really clean cuts. Worst ever at work was a phone call though, a guy was getting foreclosed and he called to tell me the guy we sent to serve him had come by... Apparently he greeted him naked, with a cathador up his dick, the fluid bag in one hand and a shotgun in the other. Server confirmed it and the police arrested him for it.

I saw a dude running a lathe get a loop of cut titanium wrapped around his thumb and then caught on the spindle. It literally fileted his thumb like a fish. They ended up amputating it. Also saw another guy pinch his finger off on a little Haas 3 axis.

Forklifts are small but weigh a ton or more so tgeir destructive power is huge.

dad gay. so what posted:i once saw a guy have an epileptic seizure. another idiot jumped on top of him and started trying to give him cpr. he later died from having a seizure while he was driving on the highway a few weeks later. In college I worked at Sears in the fitness department. I was J chillen on a treadmill and this nerd mother gently caress starts looking like he's got to sneeze, then just falls into a bunch of poo poo, shaking like a fool. I flew into action. Needless to say I looked fly as hell. Anyhow, I dragged this bitch away from the snow blowers and made some girl call 911 like a hero. The firefighters came later and they all laid on top of him for some reason. I told them no need to thank me, I'm just doing my duty to society and knowing I save one citizen at a time is reward enough.

Favorite co-worker got two fingers degloved about ten years ago. I thought that was terrible.....paled in comparison to seeing a guy get his right arm drawn into a tire-driven roller. It straight up removed all of the flesh from the bottom side of his arm from his elbow to his armpit. I didn't see the arm thing happen in person but the aftermath was horrible and then we had to watch the video afterward.
