So I don’t wanna come off as depressing but the non-funny answer is when I had to leave work early bc my Mom was passing away from cancer🥺, sad answer aside onto funny answer lol, probably 2nd worst moment at work for me was when I worked Door2Door in the Southside of Chicago activating Free Gov phones and I had a gun pointed at me😂I had a gun threatened like 4-5 times throughout the job but the actual gun out spooked me, I just said in the most polite voice “I apologize and I will most certainly take you off of our list” like I get it, Door to Door people suck but it was a free phone and you could just say no. Anyways sorry for the rambling, what kinda shitty jobs have yall done and what would you say were the worst moments?

Really sorry to hear about your mom OP, I hope you're doing ok <3

It all blends into one grey paste of shit for me, there are a few moments that standout of violence inflcited on others by managers, peoples limbs getting severed through machinery or sexual harrasment by people in positions of authority over 16 y/o women but I dont feel like trauma dumping today.

Thank you, it was over a year ago by now so I’m doing good 😊👍, tbh a little gun-toting sounds like small potatoes compared to what you saw. The broken limbs alone is worse than anything I saw.

It aint a contest comrade, im away from the hard times now in a social sciences adjacent role where im able to help people everyday and I can work from home, im not going thru it anymore save for the trauma associated with life before I hit 30, I certaintly have never had someone pull a gun on me!

Yeah I mean I wasn’t super afraid of it, maybe I should’ve been tho. It WAS one of the more crime heavy areas of Chicago, picture the areas that you’ve heard about in rap songs, not O Block tho, luckily nobody I know was ever sent there
