“Which Profession Has The Most Deranged People?”: 40 Jobs That Often Attract Strange People

Geezus. So glad you pulled through all that. Yeah, that's the worst. There's supposed to be a 4 day grace period. So, if you're late you can ring them to say if you need a couple more days. I've had to do that a few times in the decade I've lived here. The worst they do is send a notice that you're late, regardless if a payment date is set up. But to evict someone takes a lot of steps, as it has to be approved by the tenancy board. I believe what you got was an illegal eviction notice, because the timing is too soon. These are the types who have eviction notices ready at hand. At one slum apartment I lived in, the caretaker would go around to each suite, right on the morning of the 1st, demanding rent and if you didn't have it right then and there, she handed you an eviction notice. She wasn't the caretaker for long, at least. Bunch of power tripping goons. You are right, though, they should be checking on their tenants to see if they're okay.

My mom was told 5 a day, and would swallow them like pills, so to not taste them. According to European health guidelines, 3 is a safer limit, or about 20 micrograms. According to Canada Health, small amounts of cyanide can be detoxifying, but too much in a short period can cause health problems.

I found they taste like acetone, and I know that because I liked to do my nails and had a bad nail biting habit.

I'm always struggling with that. I find it best to not say anything, just nod and go about my business. The double standards I can't take. But because I have to watch what I say, the aggression comes out erratic and anxious. The only thing I didn't like with kitchen work, thinking back, was that I had to prove I was allergic to high acidic foods, like canned tomatoes. At least the Chef took it seriously when I showed him the hives, redness and swelling after 15 seconds with my hand in the can. Not sure why he demanded I mash up the tomatoes with my bare hands in the first place. Also the lack of safety. Making an unpaid teen, on a school led work program use the meat slicer with just a moment of instruction on where not to put your hands, and only having holey oven mitts available. This was in '99, too. I'm sure industry standards have gotten tighter since then.

But tbf, that's not coming from the waitstaff. That's just them reiterating what was said by the customers. They're the ones having to deal with the b******t requests and complaints. The waitstaff tell you so they can go back the customers to remind them how unreasonable they are being to everyone working at the restaurant.

But what if your gums don't normally bleed when your flossing and brushing, eh? The last dentist actually taught me how to properly brush, and it's not trying to cut into your gums. You trace the gum line and around your teeth. This still cleans the gums without causing pain and bleeding. She was also the only dentist that reassured me my teeth are fine and teach me anything without lecturing.

I saw politicians in the Reddit thread.

“Which Profession Has The Most Deranged People?”: 40 Jobs That Often Attract Strange People

My dad is a retired officer. He has PTSD and prefers to be to himself or doing something out in the country. Rarely goes into the city for much, unless there's something he needs. He absolutely hates rap music, has a negative view of any neighbourhood in the city that isn't affluent, regardless if it's not really a bad area to the general public, and he is paranoid af with new people. He has used his badge to visit me in the hospital after visiting hours (thanks, dad, the nurses thought I was a criminal with a new baby, and treated me so.), got access to my report card at school behind my mom's back (so she says), runs every boyfriend's name through the police system and checks out his friends, too, and would get his buddies to cruise by my house about every week or so, or make b******t visits that end up being "misidentification". This is what happens when your estranged dad is a cop.

Yeah, i read it was Vogue and Anna Wintour too.

“Which Profession Has The Most Deranged People?”: 40 Jobs That Often Attract Strange People

Agreed. I almost died due to diverticulitis in my late 20s and spent 3 months in hospital. After 4 years of never being late on rent I couldn't get anyone to take a cheque to my apartment manager for me so it was two days late. When my mom was able to drop off my payment she stopped by my place to grab me some things and there was an eviction notice taped to ky door. 48 hours after 4 years of timely payments and they didn't even have the decency to call me and check what was up they just immediately tried to evict me. Finally got surgery, got released from hospital a week later, and as soon as I was healthy enough to move I was outta that slum. Took a while tho since I was down to 120lbs which was skin and bone for me.

Oh no! My old boss had some of those and I ate I hand full, cuz yummy bitter almond, she about had a heart attack when she found out cuz of cyanide!!

They're intelligent, sentient creatures being slaughtered, that's why it's called a slaughter house. They know damn well what's coming, as do the animals behind them, & they scream in terror & pain as we would. I lived near an abbatoir as a young child. I will never ever forget that noise.

For-profit charities and thrift stores have to be the worst people disguised as the nicest. Behind every smile, compliment, nicety are stress, worked up people, who shout, shame and form cliques around each other.

“Which Profession Has The Most Deranged People?”: 40 Jobs That Often Attract Strange People

I find the dental hygienists do with the flossing. They literally clothesline your gums and ask you if it's normal your gums bleed. I believe the correct answer to that is NO. But then they don't listen and proceed to tell you that you have gum problems and continue to aggressively string your teeth like they have some sort of vendetta against your mouth.

So, basically, the Devil Wears Prada is an accurate depiction, which was written by someone who worked for the Editor In Chief of Vogue Magazine, and Miranda Presley was inspired by that EIC.

“Which Profession Has The Most Deranged People?”: 40 Jobs That Often Attract Strange People

I saw one on the bus, just gotten off his shift and still wearing his tool belt and steal toes, start going off on a family with a couple of kids because another lady was harassing them, too, and accusing them of being on welfare. The guy got up and took out his hammer like he was about to assault the family. Everyone was shocked. The bus stayed at the bus stop until police arrived, which wasn't long. This guy was ranting and complaining to the police. Ended up pissing off the cops and getting arrested. The family had already gotten off the bus and walked away. They did absolutely nothing but exist.

“Which Profession Has The Most Deranged People?”: 40 Jobs That Often Attract Strange People

They are always super hyper at 9am. Like wound, pacing, loud, cocky and just in your face, not allowing you to just try to learn what to do without them getting impatient with you. I've suspected some of the most high-strung ones are on coke.

These people don't care about the dogs. They view man-made features on dogs as nothing but status symbols, and not the actual health and well-being of the dog. Same goes for cat-shows.

“Which Profession Has The Most Deranged People?”: 40 Jobs That Often Attract Strange People

I've met some absolute thug property managers when I lived in cheap apartments. But the people working at the mgmt company that runs this block I live in have been really not bad at all. S**t gets done. I've had no bogus accusations. No issues with rent being received. We've been left alone. I hope they remain here for a long time.

“Which Profession Has The Most Deranged People?”: 40 Jobs That Often Attract Strange People

I believe it. These guys are on edge, thinking everyone who they talk to is a vegan nazi animal rights PETA activist, and when they do say what they do they have a traumatized, horrified tone. The way slaughter houses kill is unlike the old-fashioned farms, and how the Indigenous did it. They hang cow upside down in a row and one by one slice their neck. The cows see their brethren die this way. They're all screaming. The pigs are squealing bloody murder. There's blood pouring everywhere. I would ... likely go insane, too.

Some have purposely or carelessly put themselves in their situation and continue to be gross jerks in society. My city is currently trying to find a strategy to get the homeless drug addicts that have turned bus shacks into their home out of them and get them into proper housing. I highly doubt it's going to reduce the amount of people on the street like they think it will.

Hate the feeling of makeup on my face. Some people are like "You must not be wearing good makeup". No, I just don't like feeling like I got all this powder and s**t all over my face and getting makeup all over my clothes and phone. It irritates my eyes, smudges, wears off within a few hours. Idgaf what the product claims are about lasting 24 hours or is waterproof. It still flakes away and dries tf out of your skin. Then the people who wear makeup everyday have to buy all these extra cleansers to wash it off, and all sorts of creams to bring the moisture back into their skin.

"Never Had A Normal Job In My Life": 30 Folks Who Escaped The 9-To-5 Explain What They Do For Work

I've worked various shifts at a popular Canadian donut chain. The worst shift was closing with an opening shift the next morning. (It wasn't a 24/7 location. Mall hours.) I knew there was a high chance I would be the only one opening if that was my shift. My mgr didn't like doing that to me, but when no one decides they want to work their shift, I was the default, being the one living the closest to work. When I got home all I wanted to do was sleep. My mom accused me of being depressed and lazy. It was a whole s**t-show. My last job was also odd evening and weekend hours, until I was able to move to 9-5 and then 8-4. I enjoyed 8-4, since I wasn't a morning person and have no need to relish the morning before work, but get to enjoy the rest of the day an hour earlier. Now when things are scheduled, appts are made, I don't have to work with sleep deprivation.

I feel like the woman was truly panicking/ in the middle of a panic attack if she was willing to get off the plane. It doesn’t mean the OP had to give her anything, but I do feel empathy for her.
