Strange/uncomfortable job

[studentwithmould]

What's the weirdest thing you've had to do at work? stuck on the train after a long day and i want to hear your crazy work stories!

I worked as a home carer for many years, and used to visit an elderly couple regularly. One day I got there to find he'd been taken to hospital in the early hours after an episode of fecular vomiting. And the family had left it for me to clean. The bed and carpet were covered, and it took me the entire 2 hour visit to do it. I was sick myself on the way back to the office, and was very poorly for 3 days afterwards - it was honestly the worst thing I've ever had to do in my life and I could smell it for days afterwards.

I had to google fecular vomiting. That's nasty.

Another poo related hospital occasion, had to search for poo balls that had been thrown across a ward bay in the middle of the night. My colleague heard the thumps of it hitting the wall and recognised from the previous night.
