Wierdest day at work ever.

[Rational-Delirium]

I've noticed that a lot of people have strange stories about things that have happened to them while they were at work. So tell us about it.

I work in a retirement home, washing dishes and the like. One time I was mopping the floor, one of the residents hobbles over with his walker. He asks if I have a boyfriend, and I tell him that no, I don't. He shakes his head and tells me "Well why not? You're good with a mop, you have nice breasts, what's not to like?" You haven't lived until you're checked out by a 87 year old man. *shudder*

Can you beat that? School days count too.

I've heard that when people get old they voice their opinons more honestly... for better or for worse.

Wow.

Wow.

It's because they no longer fear anything. Some of us hit that earlier than others.

You know you're good-looking when...even the senile old fogeys think you're hot.

I work in the electronics department of a certain retailer. Now is it weird that I have said "We are sold out of Wiis" more often than "That'll be $305 (or whatever)"? Cause I just realized that I've grown incredibly used to telling people we don't have any. Even the crazy people.

I used to be a lifeguard, so here is my story: Very hot day, and I was transfered to one of the bigger pools on the other side of town because they were crowded. I was their for half an hour when someone took a slimy dump in pool and they had to close. So I was sent back to my original pool. That lasted all of 15 minutes when the same thing happened. I then had to deal with a bunch of angry people because they had also been at both pools that day. It was like working at Walmart on Black Friday. Just more disgusting. The money I earned that day did not even pay for my gas.

It could also be that they're using their status as 'older than you' seriously. Like respect your elders and all that... But it's all good now.

There's also the time I was walking backwards, and my heel went off the side of a ramp, my lower back hit the railing, and I flipped over and ended up in a pile of really pissed off fire ants....and was not allowed to move until an ambulance arrived.
Not cool.

Fire ants? That sucks. Why exactly were you walking backwards?

After a client meeting, I was driving my 60ish year old CEO back to the office when she gets a craving for ice cream. Having a vague idea of her refined gourmet taste, I decide to detour to a local gelato shop for the creamy dessert. We walk into the crowded shop and she takes a look at the displayed flavors. Like a refined old lady who does not like what she sees, she yells out loud enough for the patrons to hear that the the gelato looks like "copulating crap (she used the actual curse words)" and walks out. I follow her and spot her buying an Eskimo pie from an ice cream truck. I am simply at a loss of words for the rest of the day.

Another day, I caught a guy who was leaving through the front door after burgling the office. The celebration of the capture of this burglar was somewhat undermined when after reviewing the incident, it turned out I was the one who let the burglar inside the office in the first place.

Once I had some middle aged women give me their business card and inform me that they made erotic chocolates (wtf?) and if I ever needed to look them up. They weren't good looking, either, made it all the more creepy. I threw the thing in the trash without even looking, who knows what horrors that thing might have contained.

I once had a priest come into work one day. I asked him how he was and I quote, "I'm fucking shit, love." I was taken aback! A man of the cloth using such language isn't something you expect.

"I'm sorry, sir! Why was your day so horrible?"

He started his story, "It's the whole damned society. The whole lot of them are fucked!"
"How so, sir?"

"They've turned religion into one money-making scam," he continued to tell me about how people were using and abusing the Church and how he thought the whole institution should be burnt down, the Pope should be lynched and the whole thing started again.

When he left the store, he turned around to me and said "Love, if you're a smart girl, you'll condemn yourself to Hell immediately and not look back. Heaven will just be the same bullshit that's here. And I'm fairly sure neither exist."

I kid you not. True friggin' story.

I think that's the first priest I've ever heard of that I like. He sounds like those mythical beings I hear about sometimes, the ones who don't use their religion as an excuse to be bigots.

Or paedophiles.

65 year old PA, who admittedly looked alright, decided that it would be appropriate to go commando and spend a lot of time bending over in front of me.

I got the distinct impression she wanted me to take her then and there. She didn't bend in front of anyone else that day. And never did it again.

Then again that day was filled with people convinced their printers were out to get them, and all sorts of shit like that. There was a full moon at the time, so I guess it's just one of those things.

Weird.

i have a telemarketing job. The things people say to me makes every day a weird and unique one.

I ran backwards through the empty halls of lunchtime once. The first teacher i met told me to take off my hat, so i did, the next teacher i met told me to slow down, so i did, the next teacher i met told me to walk forward, so i did, the next teacher i met told me to go to class, so i did, the next teacher i met asked me what i was doing, so i told her "nothing", then i meowed loudly at the choir.
Here's the thing though, it was a single long hallway and the teachers were walking down it all at the same time.

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

Okay you know how you're only allowed to go to the bathroom the same time as everyone else in ISS, right? Well, I was asleep ( I did that alot in school) in my little enclosed desk and had a dream about pissing in a McDonald's, then woke up to find everyone laughing and the teacher trying to get me up. Turns out I had pissed my pants in the middle of class. I got to go home and watch tv for the rest of the day.


Also, I once went to the bathroom and saw 2 students having sex in one of the stalls.

You know, that actually sort of scared me. I envision stuff in my head, and....the teachers all walking down the hallway at the same time, and each one of them talking to you in turn. It's like something from a nightmare. A really freaky, bizarre nightmare...

My weirdest day at school doesn't really compare. However, once my friend and I decided that randomly, during the classes we had together, we would decide on specific times to jump up in our seats and make small meowing noises. It really seemed to freak the teachers out when we did this, however, because apparently normal students don't lay out needlessly intricate plans just to meow in the middle of class.

I guess I might have been a little bit of a weirdo, yes. Because even now, I'm imagining a situation in which every kid in every class jumped up and meowed at the exact same time.

I regularly have odd workdays, but that's probably because I'm in a country other than the one I grew up in. Usually someone will make a comment or ask me something that strikes me as either perplexing or just stupid.

A few things I can remember:
- Around the time I first started, I spent some time in my classes to introduce myself to my students. I was of course asked many times whether or not I have a boyfriend, but one day after I said no the teacher I was working with turned to the students and told them, "Say 'What about me?'" which unfortunately one student did. That was awkward.
- One of my students seems to like asking me asinine questions. Once after I told her that no, I don't dye my hair, she asked me if my eyebrows are also naturally brown. She's also suggested I date some of the teachers at that school.
- There's also one old teacher who often compliments me on how I look, but he only ever talks to me when I'm in class teaching with him (even though his desk is right next to mine). The guy kinda creeps me out.

Wow that had to be really embarrassing. Did your classmates let you live that down?

Yeah, after I reminded them that I got to go home while they were stuck in ISS.

 

[DreadfulSorry]

Ok, this isn't so much the weirdest day I've had at work so much as the most mind-blowingly frustrating.
Just for a little background, I'm an intern for the US Federal Government...yeah, I know, I probably should have seen this bureaucratic shit coming.
Anyway, I'm usually given the crap jobs to do, so I wasn't surprised when a coworker asked me to staple a bunch of papers together all day. I did it without complaint because, hey, money is money, and I get paid no matter how menial the job is.
I was, however, quite angry when the next day I was asked by a different person to take the same papers I spent all day stapling yesterday, and remove all the staples...
And this is why I will never be able to glean any amount of job satisfaction out of my work. Because it is all utterly meaningless.

Well, lets see. Some guy ran into our store without shoes and stole a phone.
