So as some of you may or may not know, I work at a non profit, no-kill animal shelter in the health clinic. We also have a pet food bank there for people in need of assistance. The area we operate in is also a really run down place. Because of this, we get a lot of weird people in.
Most are harmless. Just weird. They range from mentally handicapped to strung out tweakers (lots of strung out tweakers, actually...). Today though...today someone took the cake.
So my work consists of two buildings: the shelter and the clinic. I mainly stay in the clinic unless I need something, which today I did. So I walked over to the shelter and upon opening the door the super pungent aroma of human pee hit me square in the face! I saw from the corner of my eye a lady picking up food from the food bank and just assumed she was homeless and just had that residual stink to her. I was quite wrong. It was fresh.
She peed in my work's office! In her pants! Just let it go. Her shorts were soaked. What's worse though?
She had also
pooped. Luckily I didn't see it. I guess the main show happened a few moments before I walked in so it had been cleaned. But someone I asked later said brown was smeared all over the floor, mixed with the pee. And the lady just kept talking like nothing happened! She wasn't old or wearing a diaper either. No older than 50, likely closer to 40, and just thin, loose fabric shorts.
Another time, a woman was dropping her cat off to be spayed. I went to grab the carrier and noticed there was a reddish-brown something all over it, but I just figured it was paint. It wasn't until after it was in my hand and I was touching the stuff that the lady said, "Oh and don't worry. That's not the cat's blood. That's my blood
"
Yes. She smiled. As I went
Hepatitis! Ew! Why would she think human blood is better than cat blood!?
So my work is full of interesting people. How about yours? Share some fun work experiences with me!
