Me and my coworkers were watching this dead kid get cpr after being hit by a train. Someone said something funny and we were all smoking ciggies and giggling when they were putting the big sheet on him. Was kind of surreal.

Once we had portaloos in the loading bay. We're watching this truck driver take like 30 attempts to back in and a guy goes to take a poo poo in the portaloo. We tell him its a bad idea but he does it anyway. The truck backed into the portaloo and the guy came flying out.

The next day with a broken portaloo leaking poo poo everywhere the grease trap overflowed into the loading bay. I cant describe the smell but it was pretty horrendous.

Saw a dude cut the end of his thumb off on the deli slicer once, that was pretty metal.

I was in management at a supermarket for ages and the funny thing when this happens is you write them up for not following proper procedure. Real insult to injury.

I saw a huge maori guy get off his fork lift to talk to someone and while he was talking the brake came off and it killed him

he grew up in the same town in NZ as my family and was my only lunch friend :/

A contractor at one of the hardware division stores in my old town was unloading a scissor lift in the rain at like 5am and it slipped and squashed him dead and he was the only one there. Bad way to go. Someone had to start their shift to a dead guy in the loading bay.

at the supermarket I was working at I saw the chainsmoking girl who got pregnant still smoking for a couple of months. not a lot but I was kinda shocked. Baby turned out fine and reading some of this stuff I feel really fortunate that I didn't see worse things.

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

I saw this guy washing his feet in the bathroom sink. Sitting on the counter, both feet in the sink. It was pretty silly.

Maybe he pooped on his feet. Maybe I pooped on his feet.

Some devout muslims do this before they pray. I think its a good idea. Get my feet feeling fresh after lunchtime.

Learned this when i was always seeing this butcher with no shoes on the bathroom

State inmate: Some random guy just gets bored one day and takes a staple and sharpens it on the cement. Proceed to slit his sack from top to bottom because he didn't think the pictures in the medical books he had were correct. When he finally tells staff 3 days later he grabs his sack to show us and squeezed to hard to where a testicle popped out.

So many stories about the weird poo poo inmates at the state do to their junk. Only met one fed inmate who cut the whole sack off, put it in a milk carton and handed it to a CO.

New orange is the new black is shaping up to be a monster.

Once like 4 of us held rhis guy down while a security guard kicked this shoplifter in the nuts for 20minutes while the cops were arriving.

The cops showed up and said 'no one touched him right?' And took him away.

Next day the cops brought in made up statements for us all to sign saying no one touched him.

As the other guy said HF is Hydrofluoric Acid. It fucks with the calcium in your bones/blood, among other stuff, to create calcium fluoride and gently caress up your nervous system and cause organ failure. You treat HF burns and associated blood poisoning by basically pumping huge amounts of calcium into your body to (hopefully) pick up all the loose HF molecules before they gently caress with your innards too much. If you work with the stuff regularly you usually have to carry Calcium Gluconate packs with you at all times.

Amputation is almost always needed and something like 2% body coverage is pretty much fatal.

Some gnarly stuff. Unfortunately it is incredibly important to a lot of chemistry and pharmaceutical work.

Yikes
