    Worked at geek squad doing insurance exchanges (accidental damage, etc). Guy brings in a laptop in pieces in a bag. Said there was a robbery in the metro and he beat the dude down with it. This was when they weighed 4-5 lbs easy, dvd drives and all. Was blood on some parts, told him to go pick out a new one, I’ll get paperwork going.

    My work is boring. Weirdest thing was I had one of those poop marker poops where you yust wipe and the TP just doesn’t do the job so you go through half a roll. Still couldn’t talk the boss into letting me install a bidet after that one.

  • Not spooky weird or anything, but weird none the less. Last January I got COVID and had a pretty severe reaction that required two trips to the emergency room and lots of steroids and antihistamines. This happened over the holiday weekend and I let my boss know. Needless to say I missed work on Monday - Friday. I was written up for putting a burden on my coworkers that required them to pick up the slack.

    That’s my weird thing. Never written up in 22 years of employment. I got written up for getting COVID.

    A man showed me his cock in front of his wife and kid while I was giving a tour.

    Dude: Ey, wanna see my cock?

    Before I get to reply he pulls his shorts leg up and shows off a rooster tattoo on his inner thigh.

    Same guy also slapped my ass earlier during that tour.

    Just started a job as a social media coordinator and informational officer for the community. Was taking pictures (WIDE pictures) of an event recently with permission of the event creator.

    In the corner, an older lady selling purses was giving me a death stare. And after I circled around from talking to some folks, she yelled at me to come over to her booth. And she said “why did you just take my picture”, I explained why and said she wasnt even in the photo other than a leg.

    She got cranky at me cause she thought I wanted to steal her purse designs for my own creations. I am 27 years old, a very straight male. She is a 70+ year old woman, shaking and fuming mad. I came back again after and had to show that she wasn’t in any pictures, and said I would blur anything out that she would possibly be in.

    Well, I took a picture again for some people, and her business was in the background. So, I blurred it out of the image since she was getting cranky with me. Since she knew who I was uploading for, she went on later and saw the image I uploaded and then got mad at me for slightly blurring out the small part of the image she was in. Said she felt left out and wanted to be in the image. Then tried to tell me I should buy my girlfriend one of her $130 recycled purses.

    I honestly hope I get more things like this happening, I love this kinda nonsense lol

    EDIT: Another quick one, I worked as a electrician/labor worker for a year at a company, and one night we were working on a school and a drunk guy came driving through on a john deere tractor holding a big jug of beer. He managed to fit through the double doors we had open at midnight to move things in and out to our storage container, and drove it around the school hallways, and the security guard didnt know what to do and just let him drive around lmao. Guard was only like 19 years old and just sat on his phone, we talked to the guy driving and opened up the next doors and helped him out.
