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?

I had a job working at a shelter for human trafficking victims for a while. The stories those people told me were just gut wrenching.

If I had to choose one that affected me personally I'd choose the moment one of the criminals linked to the above mentioned 'industry' came to our place and threw rotting raw flesh all over the building. It was some sort of revenge thing. One of the worst smells I ever experienced and it took weeks to get out.

Or the one time some dude with an axe came to our place to actually kill someone. I was behind bullet proof glass at the time so he couldn't smash it but the thought of almost being killed if it weren't for a piece of glass is something.

Another contender is the time I was guiding a group of young guys who came from a difficult upbringing. One of them got stabbed to death due to a beef inside the drill rap world. That was hard too.

Can't really choose between the three of them. Equally bad if you ask me.
