In college I worked at Sears in the fitness department. I was J chillen on a treadmill and this nerd mother gently caress starts looking like he's got to sneeze, then just falls into a bunch of poo poo, shaking like a fool. I flew into action. Needless to say I looked fly as hell. Anyhow, I dragged this bitch away from the snow blowers and made some girl call 911 like a hero.

The firefighters came later and they all laid on top of him for some reason. I told them no need to thank me, I'm just doing my duty to society and knowing I save one citizen at a time is reward enough.

I had to call the cops on some hosed-up kook who was digging in the tree planters outside the building. He told me he was "looking for all the metal in the dirt", and I would've been more sympathetic because he was obviously not, uh, well but he was wearing a utilikilt and I saw his dick. Three squad cars came and took him away

Sorry to hear that. Good luck in your job search.

I once worked in a plus size ladies clothes store. It was generally an OK job. Pretty much like any clothes shop, except the drat clothes wouldn't stay on the normal size hangers. However, working in the changing rooms meant you'd see some sights. Lots of women would come out naked, clothes in hand, to ask me for another size. On more than one occasion we had massive women in complete denial about their size screaming at us because they couldn't do up a zip. Which meant I had to struggle to contain their ample flesh and do up their zipper, just to stop them yelling at me.

We often had women sneaking items of underwear into the changing rooms, which you're not really supposed to try on. They'd then throw them on the floor if it didn't fit them and I'd have to pick worn panties up and put them back on the shop floor. One woman had obviously stolen some underwear, and left her own behind, including giant briefs with a dirty sanitary towel still inside them, as well as lovely stains. :barf: We also had an incredible amount of women changing their kids lovely diapers on the floor, and leaving plastic sacks full of poo poo on the floor for me to throw out. Weirdly, this stuff didn't happen when I worked in a normal clothes shop. It must have just been a trashier clientele.

Some guy here once severed his achilles tendon this way cutting stainless bar. I wasn't there at the time.

Gotta give her props though, she obviously did not give a gently caress.

My uncle ran a snow cone machine + cotton candy stand at pow-wows. He's pay us 1/4 of minimum wage to work for him and I was around 9 so that seemed like a million dollars. I spent most of my time chasing off obviously hungry kids and getting cheated by adults. It sucked and he sucked and I bought frybread with whatever coinage I made from him.

He's dead, his kids suck, c'est la vie.

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

Worked in both state corrections and now federal corrections for a few years each. I can honestly say state has the straight crazies and fed inmates are more chill.

Fed inmates: One guy in this late 20s starts a fight with this old con who is in his 40s. They fight for a bit and the old guy wears down the younger kid then puts him in a headlock. To seal his victory he bends down and bites the younger guys eyebrow off and spits it on the floor. They shook hands, cleaned up the mess, walked off. Oh and left the eyebrow.

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.

Honestly only every watched the first episode. Find it hard to get off work only to watch work. From the one episode it was pretty spot on, just minus the naked women everywhere doing it. Then again I have only worked at male institutions and it's either super rare anymore or they are pretty damned discreet.
