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 have always worked in some form of customer service, which has all kinds of...fun moments. Highschool through university I worked in restaurants. Got the full gamut of rude customers, customers rolling in thirty seconds before close, etc. Had a customer try to pay us in cocaine once, which we do not accept as legal tender.

I am in [luxury] hospitality now and have had to deal with all kinds of entitled jerks and celebrities. Including some heads of states that I have very strong negative opinions about. The mid tier CEOs are the worst though, because they think they are far more important than they actually are. Had a guy call the police while he was checking out because he didn't want "a foreigner" handling his luggage.

Saved us the effort of blacklisting him, because the police obviously escorted him out instead.

Lol the payment in cocaine is cracking me up, I wonder if he did the math in his head as to whether the amount of coke he handed over was fair given the market value plus tip. At that point I guess the small amount of coke that would be your tip would be entitled to you😂
