Hey Pandas, Share Your Wildest Work Story (Closed)

Did a coworker get arrested at work? Did you witness a crazy customer? Share your wildest work story!

I wasn't at work when it happened but heard the story the next day. Apperently this young couple "snuck" into the family bathroom and (quite literally) f*cked arounfld breaking the sink. They tried to claim it was broken when they went in. Manager didn't buy it and pointed out that they are caught sneaking in on camera and that if it was broken why they didn't immediately report it. Both got banned. Kicker was girl was ALREADY PREGNANT!

When I first started working production at a thrift shop, they still had these glass, or pexiglas, dividers at stations, but they were slowly getting taken away.
One day near Halloween, we were all conversing in one area and heard a loud CRASH. One of the divider's fell and the glass smashed. No one was near it for a while. Everyone was creeped out and suspecting it was a ghost of someone attached to a donated item.

I'd be freaked too if glass especially plexiglass just randomly shattered!

Well, when working inpatient psychiatric units, one has many. But I think my favorite was when Obama (then president, running for re-election), came to speak at my University Hospital. Everyone in psych thought the individuals on inpatient units would freak out over the secret service snipers all over the roof tops directly outside the 3-story psych ward. Especially those whom had specific delusions that Obama was personally trying to kill them (more than a handful on any day, any president). The funny thing is, it taught so many mental health workers and important lesson about delusions. delusions are fixed false beliefs. And the fact is they don't respond to anything in reality which either firms or distracts from the delusion. The mental health staff was freaked out about Obama's security team all over the rooftops. The patients...not a single one noticed or cared. I have pictures (not of patients), but oh that was a grand and interesting day!
