Doing electrical work in a chicken rendering plant. I was sprayed with the liquefied remains of chickens that were at least a week old coming out of a tanker truck into a pit that was outside with a sea of flys covering it like a tarp. To make it worse, I looked over at a guy 10ft away eating a bowl of fruit loops like it was a normal day, that experience changed my life because I never want that to me my normal.

I think you win this round

[-] yakko@feddit.uk 15 points 1 week ago

That's ten times worse than mine but oddly similar. Some stupid friends and me once shot a canned whole chicken with 454 Casull at close range. I might still have the footage somewhere, it was like a fireworks shell of protein.

I used to work at a fish packing factory and had to get something out of a skip bin and i fell getting in. I was drenched in rotting fish guts and green slime that had been sitting for a couple of days out in the heat of the Aussie QLD summer (around 40C)

Yep I threw up a little in my mouth. Congratulations, I guess.

Why the fuck am I even reading this thread...

Worked at a restaurant hood cleaning company once. Sometimes the techs had to bring back buckets of grease they removed from a place because there's a lot of rules around where you can dispose of it.

Walked into the shop at the wrong time and got hit in the chest with a spray of rancid, black grease. Had to throw those clothes away because I couldn't get it out.

[-] infinitevalence@discuss.online 19 points 1 week ago

I have 2 kids so, vomit, poop, blood, mucus, and even breast milk.

[-] CaptainMan251@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

You should work in healthcare. It's like that, but adults, and everyone is yelling.

[-] velma@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

I'd take being sprayed with breast milk over any of the other substances any day of the week.

Though since I've been there myself, yeah I've had all of these sprayed on me as well haha

[-] Okokimup@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Squeezed pus out of a cyst for my brother. It shot out and got me in the eye. Thank dog I wear glasses.

Not directly sprayed, but someone shot of pepper spray in the restaurant I worked at years ago as a prank. Couldn't breath right the rest of the night.

[-] CaptainMan251@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Ah, yes, the funny prank where we spray blinding, painful particles everywhere. As a human i too think this is hilarious.

WHY DO THEY DO THOSE THINGS T_T

I was sitting outside of an anime con rave with some friends when people started streaming out of the rave in a hurry. Someone had set off pepper spray in the middle of the crowd. Never fully found out why but the two stories I heard were either that a guy got way too handsy with a girl or someone just did it for the lulz. (Either way it was a bad time for a lot of people and the paramedics had to be called for a few folks.)

[-] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 1 points 1 week ago

Reminds me of that scene from Planet Terror... in the hospital

[-] sharkweek@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 week ago

I worked at an abbatoire for a while. Dodged the worst stuff no problem ... except for one time with green puss from an abscess in a cow. It must have been under a lot of pressure.

I cut the abscess out and showed it to a woman I didn't like in quality control. She threw up. It was my fault, so I had to clean that up, and I didn't get to go home early to clean myself.

It was not a great job.

[-] sharkweek@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

Not really, it didn't exactly improve my relationship with her

[-] bhamlin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago
[-] sharkweek@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

At least it makes for a good drunken gross-out story, when I can add all the gory little details.

Last time I told it was to a guy who was clearly out of his depth after being served dog meat and black eggs. He went so pale ... maybe in the long term it was worth it, lol

[-] cheeseburger@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago

Anal gland squeezings from my cat. I didn't want to spend another $300 at the vet and did it myself. The horrors.

[-] Beth@piefed.social 12 points 1 week ago

Healthcare…you get numb to a lot. But honestly I can’t stand phlegm.

[-] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Eau de C. Diff

[-] CaptainMan251@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Toothpaste spit for me. I will look away and tell them to spit, and then hold it at arms length to the sink while looking away.

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago

I used to harvest shellfish for a job, and we used pressurized water to help dig down. There's a whole lot of dead beach and low tide thst I blasted myself with, but there'd be some big ol honking horseclams 3 feet under the sand that closed off and died down there a long time before my hose found the cavity of its putrefied liquified remains.

Having that propelled in a blast along with sand and seaweed was s fun time.

[-] discocactus@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Norovirus vomit.

[-] TryingToBeGood@reddthat.com 10 points 1 week ago

Damn, reading these makes my horse piss look positively tame.

[-] kindenough@kbin.earth 9 points 1 week ago

My baby sons ass while changing a diaper…

[-] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Same. Parenthood brings a whole new perspective on bodily fluids.

GF, after gettingback feom the store: "Any reason why my hairbrush is on the floor?"
Me watchingour toddler: "Don't touch, it'sfull of poop!"
GF: ...

[-] kindenough@kbin.earth 1 points 1 week ago

Hihihi..

From then on I turned is ass 90 degrees away from me when changing diapers.

[-] CaptainMan251@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

That is such a loving parent thing to say heh.

[-] ComfortableRaspberry@feddit.org 9 points 1 week ago

Not "sprayed" per se but it seems squirrel monkeys pee on their hands and touch stuff to mark it. One of these guys was sitting at the back of my neck when they decided it's time to clarify who owns what. So he started to pee on his hands while still sitting there and most of it ran down my spine. The he proceeded to touch my hair and clothes.

The smell was tolerable but being covered in monkey pee still was something I hadn't on my radar..

My cat had sneezed diectly onto my face.

Next to the train station I commuted to in my first job, there was an area for trucks carrying livestock to empty their waste. One particular truck was not carrying actual living livestock but dead calves (the unwanted male ones) when it pulled up near me as I was waiting for the train. Unfortunately the driver pulled the wrong lever and dumped the contents of the truck on the ground. I got sprayed with the worst thing you can possibly imagine. The smell alone…

And people wonder why I’m a vegetarian (it wasn’t the inciting incident but it helped my conviction)

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Had a manure tank truck pop a seal in front of me spraying pressurized pig shit all over my car.

I had my windows down 😐

[-] SwifferWetjet@thelemmy.club 6 points 1 week ago

Work's pink multi surface cleaner. Never knew I'd know exactly what the fuck poison tastes like! Gotta say, pretty unpleasant

[-] MrKoyun@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

2 comments in and I'm just gonna stop reading now

[-] Jarix@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Human piss grossest.

Worst thing was gasoline covered head to toe when a hose sprung a leak when I was working as a full service gas station attendant. I'm glad it wasnt propane though

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I'm gonna go with the skunk. I was just misted with it from a good distance but it took days for the smell to go away. The house it was under smelled like skunk when the weather was damp for years.

[-] palordrolap@fedia.io 3 points 1 week ago

It's about even between my own bodily functions under high pressure exit conditions ricocheting back or being spat at and getting some in my mouth.

I suppose I have been fortunate to avoid any worse combination of those.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Technically it was my car that got sprayed, but I specifically drove around a skunk to not hit the thing, and it showed it's appreciation by spraying my car.

[-] bold_omi@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

I've never been "sorayed".
