'Everyone is incompetent and lazy': 30+ People share the "dirty little secrets" from the industries in which they have worked

Working a job can open your eyes to all sorts of things that you'd never even imagined were possible. Unfortunately, most of these—at least the ones that stand out in your memory—will make you never want to use that service or buy that product ever again. Once the curtain is lifted, it's impossible to close your eyes to the reality of the world as you now see it.

Having previously worked in fire alarm maintenance in another life, you'd be horrified how many buildings are non-compliant to local building codes or have not been properly maintained due to the building owners not wanting to waste money one something so "silly." 

Another one is from one of my first jobs as a drinks merchandizer, and all I can say is clean the tops of your cans before you drink from them… It's unnerving how dirty many backrooms are due to the products they're stored near and the rat droppings on the cans. 

See this hearty collection of stories from people sharing their "dirty little secret" from industries in which they have worked. It's definitely an interesting thread that's well worth the read.
