Yup. In my case most of the time the kids are acting out because the parents are absent from their lives. A little digging always confirms this. The parents think they can pay nannies and maids to raise their kids. Parenting is one thing you can't outsource. They've grown up with no authority figure in their lives and don't respect boundaries as a result.

Our boss installed a fish tank(i have NO idea why, it was a breakfast chain) and a kid got angry we wouldn’t let him ride his bike up and down the aisle so he threw his helmet at the tank and it shattered. Two of us grabbed buckets threw the fish in them and then filled them in the back, someone else mopped, another grabbed the broom and cleaned up the glass and the head waitress was funnelling customers I swear to god we got it cleaned up and we’re back to regular business before the owner even knew what was happening. Edit: the fish were fine

I worked on a manufacturing line a few years ago. Some machines were incredibly dangerous and some needed saftey guards, but other didn't (just not how the machine works). One of these machines was a huge press. You would place a strip of metal in the mold, press a button and 20 tons of pressure would slam the metal into shape. I hated using it as it was large enough to fit a whole person inside and simply....squish. Anyway, you are trained to press the two trigger buttons with only your hands, that way they would be out of the way. One guy found it was faster to load the machine and hit the buttons with his elbows. We told him to stop, but he never listened. He hit the buttons with his hands still inside. The two operators next to him were sprayed with blood and a psychiatrist was called in to meet with any of us that saw the incident. Not a good day for anybody that day.

"So anyways I started blastin."

I work at a company with a lot of pressure equipment. As you can imagine there have been some close calls but these two were particularly bad: 1) First one is over 20 years ago. A 1/2" threaded plug ripped out of the threads while pressure testing at 15.000 psi / 1034 bar. It shot out like a bullet and hit someone in the back hard enough to break a rib and rupture his kidney. It was touch-and-go for a while but he survided. The viewports are thick Lexan safety glass but the plug hit one in the exact corner so hard that the panel was ripped from its fixings, allowing the plug to fly out. Even then it still had enough energy to seriously injure someone. It's crazy what such high pressure can do. 2) This one is much more recent. While pressure testing equipment at a sub-supplier (at a "mere" 10 bar), somehow a part flew off and hit two of my colleagues in the head. One was killed instantly and the other died later that night. The cause is still being investigated. While bad enough, these two incidents were the only ones in over 50 years. Last year we also had a funny one. We put up the fake windows update on a colleague's screen. For those of you who don't know it, it looks exactly the same as the real windows update but the progress is excruciatingly slow. It also doesn't stop at 100% but cheerfully continues counting up. Colleague called someone to take a look at it who also agreed that they'd never seen that before. Then they moved the mouse and only then figured out that it was just MS Edge in full-screen mode. The kicker is that they're both in the IT department. They hate our guts now but it was worth it.

I work for an airline and one day some of the guys were cleaning an MD-80 and decided to take all the seats cushions and make a wall halfway in the plane with them and left the wall of seat cushions for the guys in the morning to deal with. Let's say the plane didn't leave on time because of that.

Several people from corporate were there watching us like hawks, typing incessantly on their laptops, looking for anything they could call us out on. A customer left a trail of shit all the way down the hallway to the restrooms. We managed to get it cleaned up without any of the inspectors noticing. We were sneaky geniuses.

Exact same thing happened at the university I used to work at.

Had a flood in the store i worked in. Like, 15 cm high. My whole shoes dissapeared into the water and it was that way for the entire store and basically the entire shopping mall. It was around 6:20 pm and it was only me (cashier) and my (assistant) manager at the time. Store usually closed at 8 pm. I was 18 at the time and had only been working there for no longer than 5 months. So when the ‘well’ (idk a better word to use’ in the floor that we use to dispense water in overflooded because of heavy rainflow, it didn’t take long until the water left the back and entered the store. My manager called out district manager and told her it was only the back that was under water and that it wasn’t ‘that high’. My district manager told him over the phone that she would come the following morning before opening to check it out. I told my manager ‘why aren’t we closing, every other store is?’ He told me that we could only close in extreme situations and I told him point blank ‘THIS ISN’T SERIOUS TO YOU?’ Nevertheless, he wouldn’t close earlier and whilst some people came in to buy stuff (we were a supermarket, people were happy we were open because they needed some essentials) it was still very quiet and just a dumb decision overall. Fast forward to 8 pm. We close and I’m like ‘shouldnt we wait for security or like… people that will help clean up? We can’t leave it like this???’ And my manager replied ‘what can we do now?’ You know, me being 18 i was like ‘fair enough, we can’t do shit here with just us two.’ So we left. The next morning comes around and my shift starts at 12 pm. So I head over and I notice that the door (one of those rolling doors that come from the top) is only half opened, and the water is still… very much present. I walk in and I spot my district manager and she sees me as well. She immediately comes up to me and goes ‘hey X, how did you and [manager] leave the store yesterday? How did it get this bad?’ I’m confused and I tell her that this is how we left it. Her eyes go wide and she looks at me for a moment, before she goes ‘[manager told me it was only the back]’ Me; ‘oh no, it was like this by the time it was 6:45 pm.’ I am then told what my manager had told our district manager. Needless to say, the assistant manager lost his position as manager and I was given that same position 6 months later. I was also given money out of the safe to buy new shoes for myself, as my nikes had been completely drenched with the filthiest water you’d ever seen. (Luckily it wasn’t attached to the sewers, but it was still horrible as we used the hole the water came out of to dump our dirty water in). Every time when a new assistant manager or a new store manager would be assigned to our location (happened a lot), i was asked what my weirdest experience had been. They’d always just stare at me in disbelief as I laughed about it. (I was pissed when it happened tho lmao. My feet look like those of an 80 y/o) TL;DR: the store i worked in flooded and my assistant manager decided it wasn’t an emergency and kept the store open.

I was working in a shop and a trailer caught on fire when a welder burned through a hydraulic oil line. I took a fire extinguisher and put it out before it smoked up the shop too much. The boss got mad because it costs $30 to recharge a fire extinguisher and asked me why I didn't just throw a bucket of water on it. Keep in mind this was an oil fire and the welder was laying under the trailer when it caught fire and was trying to shuffle out from under it with flames a foot away from his face. I don't even remember what I said back to the boss.

One of my ex girlfriends had some beer cans in the freezer. We took one out and it did "hypercritcal freezing" (I think is the term) where a sealed container can be below the freezing point of the liquid, but not actually freeze because attempting to freeze puts it under pressure. When I opened it the beer started slowly spilling out of the top like it had been shaken up... and just didn't stop. We were already drunk and I kept attempting to wipe it up, before finally realising what was happening and put it in the sink. About half the beer was left, but frozen it was taking up the whole can.

Doing a remodel at a large national retailer. Guy I was working with goes to take care of something else and asks if I can undo the studs from the rafters in the customer service area since we were demoing the wall encasing the former supply closet and turning the area into an open floor. I use an electric lift to get up in the rafters, unscrew the studs, and as I'm lowering the lift I get caught on a sprinkler pipe. Slowly maneuver out of the way only to break off another pipe just off to the side of the one I had maneuvered away from... 20 years of pressurized water proceeded to pelt me in the face and I damn near flooded out the front of the store the contractor I worked for at the time was working at.

One guy who has been fired for a few years now asked a 15 year old girl to sit on his face, he was at the time 22. It wasn’t even an honest mistake, it was obvious, she even had braces and pig tails. I still can’t believe he’s my second cousin. He got fired instantly and he lost his green card. He didn’t get deported back to our ancestral home in Eastern Europe interestingly enough though, I guess they thought he’d leave of his own volition. Obviously he didn’t leave. A few years later he T-boned a woman while he was going sixty miles an hour while at the same time texting and driving. He then decided to lie to the police who came to interview him. He made a deal with the prosecutors to be banned from entering the country for 10 years and to leave the country of his own volition and for the incident to remain on his record with immigration permanently.

March, 1994. I went home for lunch as I lived just a few srtreets away. An hour later I'm pulling into work and the drive is blocked. Cops and yellow tape everywhere.

It was Extron Electronics in Santa Fe Springs and it was AP, UPI, LA Times, OC Register, San Diego Union, Riverside Press-Telegram headline.

Two stories. One actually mine, one second- or third-hand. Actually mine: I work in a convenience store, and this was three or four years ago. Normal day, until the building's sewage connection backed up. Not an internal sewage line, but the external connection to the city sewer. Needless to say, we had to turn off all water (no bathrooms/sinks/drinking fountains for a day), but it gets much better. The building's architects had anticipated this, and had routed the sewage connection so that they could place an access drain in a location which would be easily accessible to an external roto-routing service. Unfortunately, the easily accessible location was right... in... the front... entrance... So our contracted plumbing service shows up and, while the business is still open, opens the drain and the cover under it, and starts working at length to clear the blockage. This means that not only am I working, and ringing out customers, within 10 feet of what is now effectively an open sewer, but every single person entering and leaving the store has to step around them for about half an hour. And then, to top it off, the city and our private plumbing contractor get in a big fight about whether the blockage is actually in the municipal main (city pays for the cost of clearing it) or in our feeder line (contractor pays), and the contractor installs a temporary bypass while they fight it out for a full month. Second story: This is third-hand and ancient, from a brewery that used to run in our city sixty or seventy years ago. One day at work someone (possibly Homer Simpson) turns a valve the wrong way and (somehow) connects a tank of finished beer to the building's water system. The glorious result: Beer everywhere! Beer out the drinking fountains! Beer out of the sinks! Toilets overflowing with beer heads! Took hours for them to (regrettably) flush the system clean. Legend has it that a visiting travelling salesman received an impression he never forgot. Anyway, those are my two stories for this. Have a pleasant day, everyone!

Who's fault was the blockage in the end?

@@NeuronalAxon I honestly don't recall, I was front-end staff and that was an issue for management, so I only got updates on that from overhearing managers talking

"It rarely happens, but it does happen occasionally" 🤔

14:00 frozen carbonated beverages don't explode like that.

1. Manager being robbed at gunpoint 2. Being robbed again via break-in previous night, crooks grabbed random things and tried to dig through wall to money safe like badgers. 3. Worker cut giant gash in arm by accidentally replacing open switchblade blade-up in pocket (we're not allowed to use knives anymore).

Ohhhh I have one that fits this! Use to work at a instant oil change center 10 years ago. Manager was always a dick None of us liked him. We Always speculated he stole and drank on the job. Turns out during a district manager visiting he found a liquor cabinet in the vents!

rainy day. guy decides to microwave his shoes. fired on the spot. office had to be aired out for 2weeks.

Work in a manufacturing shop. This building is the size of bigger than a Walmart super center. Almost all the way on the far end of the shop, someone hit a sprinkler. Which emptied the whole system out into the shop, on to parts (sheet metal), my boss is over trying to turn off the system while I have to run back in forth to see if it had stopped. (Man I was and still am out of shape) So some parts got damaged but the forklift driver wasn't fired for that. Or there was the time when my supervisor evacuated the building and called the FD because the electric forklifts that were charging were producing a pungent suffer smell. I had to be in there by myself unplugging all forklifts and taking their keys. (I forgot two of them and got remed out later). I guess since I had not checked the forklifts thoroughly enough prior the cells in the battery's were low due to the fill caps being stuck closed not taking water. So the lack of water in the battery made them produce the suffer smell. I'm sure there is more. Never a dull moment in maintenance.

In another department at my old job there was an unlabeled bottle kicking around for ages that somebody decided must just be water and tipped down the sink. It was actually some chemical that catches fire when it touches water, and the pipes were plastic, and right next to the also-plastic gas pipe. They got it out in time, but that could have been nasty. People in my department, after a long lecture about that, still left random liquids kicking around in unlabelled bottles. I started refusing to tip them away / take them for washing if I didn't know what was in them. That was, of course, my fault.

Ordered the wrong stuff? Slightly irregular tents? Fish jerky? (Doesn't go bad. Starts out bad!)

i live near Lawrence and used to live there 12:55 this sounds stupid even by Lawrence standards lol

The last one though.. kids learn to be sociopaths from home, if not mere entitlement.

Soo, i just got a month into the internship. As an FO in a city hotel. Recently they added earthquake emergency alarm, cuz my place just get hit with a big one after more than a decade or so. And, it's a manual one. With a button, without a cover. On a wall And the location is the usual place where you put guess belongings temporarily. About 1.5 meters more less above the ground, and it get accidentally pressed by some item that i out near it when it's sliding off and hit the emergency alarm. Not sure if it's the biggest incident, pretty much nothing more interesting than that when im still there

My second work experience doing admin at a primary school (and last secular allowed there) was doing a play. The play I believe was based off a book mixed with the song Sail Away). Anyway, during practice one of the kids thought Sail Away meant Go away and he landed in the head office. It took Teacher an hour via me to get the kid back.

I peed myself.

12:20 We had a way smaller case of this; somebody wanted to make a group meal-order, and instead of cc'ing their own mailing list, they cc'd the entire company. The same hurricane of replies happened. Never have I made a 'send directly to trash' Outlook rule so fast.

One of the registers caught fire

12:35 I swear every company has a story like this

At mine work was someone drove into the carwash machinery, damaging it, then tried to back out and then hit someone waiting. It was a interesting day.

Cleaning the grease trap was the grossest thing I think I've ever done. They are truly disgusting.

Worked at a golf course guy got so drunk that he rolled a cart down a mountain/hill it tumbled /slid over 100ft he was fine though. When I drove him back to the clubhouse he was so drunk I had to hold onto him to keep him from falling out of the cart. He then tried to flee the scene in his brand new dodge which he drove into the giant rock with our course logo on it. Ambulance took him away and he had alcohol poisoning
