Most "oh shit" moment to ever happen at work
My last job at the water park had it's fair share of mini-calamities, but the one that sticks out the most was when a nasty microburst happened on top of the park. I was working the gift shop filled with people hiding from lightning and flying umbrellas (gg operations), and because our store is on an incline, the whole place started to flood with roughly 4 inches of water. We spent three hours using Tupperware containers to push the water out the front door, and the carpet reeked of rainwater for about a week. Don't ask me why a store in a waterpark had carpeting.

She ended up dropping a bag of nuggets, plastic and all into the fry vats. She then attempted to pick the bag out of the vats. The vats full of boiling oil. One of the managers managed to grab her before she stuck her whole hand in, but she got pretty bad burns to about half her hand

Had a mom come to pick up her kids after class (I teach at a cram school) but their dad had previously picked them up. Thing is, the parents had recently separated (we didn't know this though. Also worth noting, the mother was a local but the father was a foreign national.). The mom called the police and our office spent the 3 hours trying to help them locate the kids. Finally the mother got ahold of a friend who tracked down dad (he had taken the kids to dinner). Within two weeks the mother had pulled the kids out of school and moved to another city over 200 miles away.

The belt that keeps the roasting bin in our roaster came off once. That was actually pretty scary.

The last job I worked at was at a Ford dealership in the detailing department. I once scratched the entire side of a brand new (this was in 2012) F-150 when I was driving into the shop. Luckily it wasn't sold and my boss took it pretty well. All he said was literally "Shit happens."

At this Flea Market, a really ghetto black dude had his kids beating up on a booth with nunchucks (yeah they sell those) and my boss told them to knock it of. The father had maybe 3 other guys with him and said "you need to quit talking to my children like dat!". My boss said "well maybe if you kept an eye on them they wouldnt get in trouble". This guy was pissed and started yelling this "you dont tell me how to be a father! you dont know me!" I whipped out my knife and my boss had his hand on his .44. A few of my fellow employees came over looking ready if the shit got real and we almost had a huge brawl right inside the booth. Luckily some people came over and they ran off.

Edited by BoyceKRP: 6/14/2015 6:51:13 AMSeeing the dad lower his kid to the ground and look at him frantically as he tried to figure out how to save him. That was the moment that changed everything, and made me run that much faster. I had a kid stop breathing at my pool two years ago and I had to deliver chest compressions and rescue breaths to get him breathing again. At my other job, about a month ago we were closing, and I had my newest associate with me on his second closing shift ever. 15 minutes before we are to clock off and head out, there's this sudden rush of water overhead - we had a small leak recently before, so I ran back to where maintenance previously cut a hole in the wall and saw a 2' pipe completely bottomed out, draining gallons on the ceiling above my store and spraying [i]all[/i] of the open electrical sockets up there. It began pouring out of a light fixture, running out of the wood trim, and popping holes in the ceiling where it couldn't support the weight. No product damaged fortunately, but was a ~$5K fix for our mall.

one time a shelf collapsed and when I went to tidy it up the contents of the shelf fell on my head that was a bit scary otherwise, teaching isn't exactly full of thrills and spills

"Oh shit no one has cleaned behind the grill in over six weeks." And that's the story of why my manager comped me a free Dqpc meal

1 ReplyI work at a factory that produced ferrosilicon by heating iron and other stuff up to over 1500°C in these huge ovens. My job is to siphon this molten metal into big vats, and transport and pour it out in layers so that it can cool down, harden and be crushed into pieces and sold. Lots of accidents can happen if you're not careful or just plain unlucky. A guy i work with was unlucky, and the vat he was siphoning the FeSi into just gave away. This resulted in many tons of molten metal getting all over the floor and equipment. Costed the company about 750k kroner, so like 100k dollars approx
