    Font - Itsjustmeagainmom · 1d I worked at a nursing home years ago and we had a patient with dementia who was ALOT of work - constantly trying to get up, screaming, throwing things, spitting, hitting.

    Font - m011yRadar · 1d I worked at a Barnes & Noble in Florida and some dude came in with a bunch of Polaroids of his junk and hid them in books in the kids area. A kid found one and showed his mom. We had to close down for the rest of the day and leaf through/shake out all the books in the store to find the rest of them.

    Font - bricktricks · 1d S Work as a nurse in an ICU. Two of my coworkers found out while on shift that they were "with" the same guy. Proceeded to physically fight each other in the hallway. Meanwhile there is a patient coding (in cardiac arrest) down the hallway; annnnd I'm not embellishing another patients family set the trashcan on fire in their room during the code. It was a wild wild night shift.

    Font - linking6325 · 1d Not on the scale as everyone else: I was a waitress years ago and someone placed a metal wine cooler on top of a cupboard. When I opened the cupboard, the cooler fell on my forehead and split open between my eyes. I didn't realise it was bleeding until I went out to serve someone and they were like "are you ok, your head is bleeding" and then I said "what do you want to eat" and he said "I'm not hunqry anymore"

    Font - Wil_Mah · 1d Had someone jump off the roof on a very windy day. He was actually blown around the corner of the building to another roof where he promptly broke both of his legs. Now no ones allowed on the roof anymore (was used for smoking and cool downs) and you can still see the dent in the roof from where he hit

    Font - OtakuMusician · 1d This isn't even that bad, but a genuine answer to the question. I work at a hotel; one day someone in the kitchen foolishly left an aerosol can of cooking spray under a heating lamp, creating a little explosion during breakfast. We were extremely lucky everyone walked away from that without a scratch.
