Tell your friends they don't have to be scared or hungry anymore comrades.
So I was repairing a cart from the production end of the bakery the other day. When I flipped the cart over, there was the most foul substance on the bottom. Upon further inspection, the substance look and smelled like poo poo. There was poo poo on the cart and on my hand and all over my tools. I gagged all the while, but fixed the damned cart.


What is the grossest job/task you've had to deal with?

i worked for a grocery store and one day had to clean out the sink area near the dairy fridges out back.

it had been a depository for expired milk for weeks until that point.

breathing through my mouth only made me taste the rancid cheese, butter, crates of milk. also for some reason someone threw a carton of old orange juice in.

the disgust turned into a kind of manic anger after a while. i rambled at the squirming maggots covering my shoes as i dragged cartons across the floor to the dumpsters.

i remember vividly feeling them between the cuff of my steel toes and my socks. wiggling deeper. squelching after a while against my ankle and oozing down under my heel.

the real gross part was really when i began dumping gallon after gallon of ammonia cleaner around. all those smells just clinging to my nose.

my eyes were watering like crazy which was good because i think a film had formed. i swear i saw wiggling even when i closed my eyes

I worked for a summer before college at a factory that made potato and pasta salad in huge amounts, once saw a one ton industrial tub of mayonnaise that had gone bad. Someone pulled the huge plastic lid off and it was a big wobbly sea of green fuzz.

Woman miscarried on the swinging pirate ship ride at the amusement park I worked at. It was gross.

She didn't even stick around or get medical attention. Just got up and left. The kid working the ride called and said "there's lumpy blood all over one of the seats what do I do?"

I worked many 'a kitchen in my day, seen all matter of stuff, but the grosseset was working Audio Visual tech at a hotel:

*Had to load slide trays at a homicide detective convention. Real crusty dudes and slides of murder scenes

*Babysitting slide projector for a doctor conference of advanced VD pics, at 7am with hangover

*Most gaggy was running sound for some hotshot gyno-pussy doc with 2000 pussypouting women in the auditorium. Olfactory overload of sweaty oval office...

I worked at a nerd store that sold warhammer, dungeons and dragons and a bunch of other insanely dorky poo poo. The worst I've ever had to do was sit through a 24+ hour dungeons and dragons marathon where one lady in particular refused to get up from her seat so everyone had to change tables according to where she was. She had a cardboard box next to her full of popcorn and chips and other poo poo, and she slowly began to accumulate a ring of fallen food around her fat sweaty body and chair. When she finally stood up, it was like moving a car after a snowstorm; just a vaguely butt-shaped clearing surrounded by a field of crumbs.

The bathroom was also constantly hosed up by insanely huge asses and terrible dumps. The manager had to install a vent into the bathroom specifically because some of the regulars would take such a smelly poo poo that the entire store would reek.

Used to work as a restaurant computer field tech and I ran into some disgusting poo poo. One of the companies I serviced was Frischs and their entire kitchens are gross as hell. It was a regular, common fix to take apart the kitchen 'bump bars', clean out all the grease, and then wrap the circuitry in saran wrap before re-assembling them. It would usually buy a year or two of time before they'd fail and need to be replaced. Somehow mayo gets EVERYWHERE in those kitchens. It was absolutely disgusting. Frischs and Hardees are the only two restaurants that I serviced that I will now and forever refuse to eat at due to their kitchen conditions. Walking through the door of a Hardees, I'd note an 'A' health rating and then go back into the _office_ and have to pry their computer off of the desk with a pry bar while roaches streamed out. This was not unique to individual locations either. I'd often have to wrap up computer hardware in a trash bag before putting it in my trunk because of the biohazards involved.

Did a lot of Applebees (which I personally hate), and they had the typical 'bar gunk' everywhere but at least their kitchens were serviceable. Also did Steak n Shake and their kitchens are drat near spotless. Just stay away from Frischs and Hardees.

I'm a sheet metal mechanic and we were doing repairs on the material handling systems in a rendering plant. Miles upon miles of of blowpipe in which chicken guts and other animal junk are flown through on their way to be converted into whatever. They were supposedly flushed out but you wouldn't know it because you'd go to take off an elbow and rotting viscera would ooze out. The smell was awful. I didn't bring a lunch for the two months I was there and we were doing 12 hour days

I accidentally ate half of a knockoff swiss roll from mexico that was full of maggots. I thought they were coconut flakes at first. I'll admit I was shocked but since then I'll sometimes buy that brand just to see if I can find another to eat.

e: the maggots were smaller than ones seen in a fresh squirrel skull

I once had to help clear out the bungalow of a nice (but deceased) person who had owned a cat. The person had - sorry to disappoint - not been left to moulder for weeks after their death, but no-one had thought about the cat. Or, indeed, the catflap.

That cat that was an excellent hunter, and had stowed assorted dead mice and birds under furniture all over the place, for what seemed, to a crude non-forensic appraisal, to be about 18 months. Unfortunately, the house was carpeted in luscious acrylic loop pile thoughout, and the maggots from the most recent catches had sort of squiggled their way into the weave and had to be pursued with tweezers.

Although almost blind, those things are surprisingly fast and have great reflexes. It was pretty good fun at first, but eventually I got bored, sprayed the little bastards with meths from a refilled bottle of Windolene, and left the room for 10 minutes.

I was at a non-food grade rendering plant doing an inspection of the sprinkler system above the hammer mill. This mill takes dead farm animals, road kill and zoo animals as well as waste streams from a nearby pork slaughter house and blends them all together with hot water to form a slurry before it is sent to cooking.

As I was looking up, a large gob of ceiling goo fell down and went all over my face. And some went in my mouth.

Seriously, I don't know what it is about maggots but I can't stand them. Snakes, spiders, rats, mice, roaches, ants... I can roll with it. Actually I like snakes and rodents. But maggots send me into convulsions of disgust. I try to deal by reminding myself that they are part of nature's clean up crew and help remove decomposing organic matter.

Once unleashed, the pure monkey impulse to hunt and catch parasites with one's fingers is disturbingly gratifying. It seems to be drilled deep into the brain; people under the influence of various stimulant drugs will pursue imaginary parasites until they bleed.

I have little doubt that this has contributed to the success of the primates – after all, most other animals don't have anything as handy as hands. But it's still impressively gross. When a friend loaned me a copy of Feynman's 'The Pleasure of Finding Things Out', my first thought was that it should have a companion volume, 'The Horror of Finding Things Out'. Biology is mostly like that; physics is usually not.

Personally, I do not like leeches very much.

When I was bitten by a good patriotic British leech, I screamed like a child (only when I saw it, the bite doesn't hurt) and implored people to bring lighters, petrol, salt, or swift merciful death, even though I knew you shouldn't use petrol or salt as it makes leeches regurgitate. I was cavalier about leeches because actually most of them are predators, vegetarians, or recognise only cold-blooded creatures as food, so when I swilled about in stagnant water for the hundredth time, I wasn't expecting a bite.

My delighted colleagues told me that that it was a privilege to be parasitised by anything as rare as the medicinal leech, took photographs, and bribed me with the promise of beer until the the hungry annelid dropped off me and we could carry it back alive to the lab and analyse its genetics (to be fair, European leeches amazingly don't carry any known serious diseases). Further scrutiny suggested that the assailant wasn't even the aristocratic doctor's leech Hirudo medicinalis, but a proletarian called Hirudo verbana. We were hoping to contribute to the discovery of amazing new anti-coagulants, but someone had already worked out that the various imposters were operating under the banner of Hirudo medicinalis, so I fed a blood-sucking worm for nothing, a martyr to science.

One time a coworker brought a leftover bucket of fried chicken to work and told us to dig in. This being before we knew of said coworker's disgusting living conditions and filthy home, we all grabbed some chicken and started to feast. I noticed about halfway through my second piece that something in the chicken was moving. Upon closer inspection it was a nice juicy writhing maggot. I threw my drummie down in revulsion as I realized it was full of the lil' wrigglers. Then I tried to puke but couldn't so I took a few shots of hot sauce in an attempt to kill them.

Hope y'all liked my maggot story!!!

No more credit from the liquor store.
I once interviewed a Vietnam POW who works out his experiences by painting horrifying abstract images and calling them self portraits. He told me how, during his captivity, his teeth and gums were rotting so he just took a rock and scraped it all out, down to the bone. That was pretty gross.

Then he invited my photographer and I to go down into his basement, and there were points where we wondered whether we were ever going to get out alive, but it turned out he just wanted to give us some of his paintings for free. Nice guy.

Edit: The paintings weren't very good.
