The things I see every day (Warning - disgusting thread. You may gag)

[sniffa]

So I get home from work and before heading up stairs I go across the street to pick up an item at the store. As I'm nearing the entrance to our parking lot, a car pulls in and stops in the entrance; the passenger door opens and a kid leans out and vomits. He then gets out of the car and proceeds to vomit some more... and more, and more. I couldn't believe how much he was chucking (it was all liquid too, so I'm guessing it was booze related at 3 pm). I walk by and try to avoid getting my disgusting work clothes/boots splashed on and I notice that his clothes are covered in his mess. So I push the cross walk button, and wait with the viral sounds of splashing behind me and decide to stick around and watch from across the street to see how long he was gonna keep going. The driver gets out and removes his shirt (he apparently got some). The puker finally slows down, so he removes his shirt and starts wiping down the inside of the car. When he's done, he throws his shirt into the massive puddle he left behind (it's huge), gets in the car and they leave. I love it when people use our private parking lot (which we pay through the nose for).

Earlier in the day while I was at my van doing calcs, I just happened to glance up as a woman walked by. She was wearing white pants, and had uh, an accident. And she was walking all confidently/cocky (yeah, look at me, I'm hot) too, which made that scene even better. She had no clue what anyone behind her was unlucky to be seeing.

In the morning while we were meeting with one of the foremen on the project some mush-brain staggered (he looked so happy. he was also filthy and kinda foaming at the mouth) it up to us and screamed, what sounded to me like, "OBIEODIE EE. OBIEODIE EE. OBIEODIE EE." He apparently thought we were members of IBEW Local 103 despite the fact we're obviously surveyors, and not electricians. My I.O. was polite enough to tell him we weren't 103 members and the guy moved on. I almost never acknowledge anyone. I figure they'll give up eventually on their own.

Just for a cherry on top - a really gross old man (our minder for anyone who remembers my "incident" thread) spit in my face yesterday afternoon. It was accidental as it the wind took it, but the guy is really gross, and really unhealthy, and that actually managed to turn my stomach, unlike the incidents described above.

1. You think THAT'S bad?

[sniffa]

5. How 'bout that time Mohammed gave me a salmon helmet

[DS1]

6. indeed

[ismnotwasm]

2. You have my sympathy

I can top all that, but I'm a nurse. I get paid to see gross.

(Candles needing to be surgically removed from inappropriate places, though, that one, I should paid get double time)

[DS1]

3. did they snap on the way out?

:D

[ismnotwasm]

4. Naw

Very embarrassed actually. A healthy sign, in my opinion. I mean, ouch. Damn.

[XemaSab]

7. That poor woman....

and she's probably all "Oh yeah, EVERYONE's staring at THIS ass." :P

[sniffa]

8. I dunno - I howled

:rofl:

[XemaSab]

9. You howled 'cause YOUR sorry ass doesn't bleed every month

x(

(Ass in the metaphorical, not literal sense. :P )

[sniffa]

10. It was like a Rorshack test

I saw the continent of South America.

[RadiationTherapy]

16. Damn. That's some detailed shit.

Get any on ya?

[moriah]

23. White pants = bad no matter what the season/week!

White is such a perfect canvass for whatever may head that direction -- from inside the pants or outside.

One chick at work came in from her break after apparently sitting on one of the wooden benches outside our office, that get sprayed by the sprinklers every night. The damp white pants made it quite obvious the exact shade of underwear she was wearing, not to mention the style!

Another one had a very obvious handprint on her white-clad tush. I'm assuming her hubby forgot to wash his hands before smacking her on the ass when she left for work.

25. That has only happened to me once

the showing of blood not the strutting my hot ass (that happens 24/7). It's really horrifying and I'm sure you thought it was funny but every woman who has ever gone through with it no doubt feels a huge pang of sympathy for this lady. I'm sure she was mortified when she found out.

11. Double-post nt

[MsTryska]

12. Are you in Atlanta by any chance?

You forgot the guy who pooped on the building.

[sniffa]

13. No, Boston

I've seen that many a time though, and the aftermath which seems to be a ubiquitous sight here. One day I saw a man missing his pants (it was winter, and my early start means it was still dark, and not as many people around as normal). I was curious as to what he was doing sans-pants, and found out mid-thought. :wow:

The Boston Metro was used to, uh, clean himself.

15. baha....these stories remind me of my favorite

I was going to lunch with one of my favorite guys from work. And he's sort of priggish and generally uncomfortable with sexuality, of any sort. And since he is an urban planner type - we had a rule that we walked everywhere downtown on lunch. Well we were about to leave the building, when this crazy homeless lady walks past, literally crossing our path, with a ski vest and her tits out. he let out a scream and jumped back inside the building. and then demanded we take an alternate route so we didn't run into scary homeless tits-out lady again.

14. Sounds like Cleveland.

Where else do you get to see a guy get off the bus and right in front of you, whip it out and take a leak in broad daylight on the curb near the Veterans Memorial in Public Square?

You also gotta love it when one of the mentally ill piss-women (you know, the disoriented ones who don't bathe for days and pee in their clothing) gets on your bus headed for Westlake, having to endure the stench for 30 minutes and then talk to the bus driver wondering where she's at for two minutes when the whole trip is done, conveniently blocking the line to get off the bus. That's a keeper.

18. That's just gross

At least I open the van door to cover myself. :puke:

20. Reminds me of what happened in a supermarket parking lot in Cambridge

We were sitting in the car, probably eating something from the McDonald's on the edge of the lot. This old guy came walking through the parking lot, stood in front of our car and whipped it out to start taking a piss--in broad daylight. My friend beeped the horn and he looked at us, closed his pants up somewhat and walked away (probably to find another place to stop and piss). My friend wished he had waited until the guy had started pissing to beep the horn.

21. Twin City Plaza?

Another great area. :hi:

[Kat45]

26. Yup--that's the one!

:hi:

24. I got a Customer Service complaint from someone like that at a high end hotel chain.

He pulled into the valet area, snockered, and proceeded to step out of his car and pull it out to take a piss right there in front of other customers and staff.

He had the fucking nerve to call Consumer Affairs, where I worked at the time, to complain that the the Valet staff had embarrassed him by telling him he could not do that, and it was not acceptable behavior.

He called me expecting a free stay, or some kind of compensation for being called on his behavior and being embarrassed. He got nothing from me, but I served it with plenty of Vaseline.

Gawd, I am so glad I don't work there anymore.

17. I was back in LA all of 15 minutes (moved back 2 years ago) when I saw this:

Sitting at the intersection of La Brea and Santa Monica, about 11 a.m. on a Sunday morning. Looked over at the bus stop in time to see an apparently unwell woman stand up from the bench, reach over to a wad of napkins somebody had dropped nearby, yanked her dress up above her waist--no panties!!--and proceed to wipe herself very, very thoroughly.

Yep, I'm back in LA!

[sniffa]

19. See post 13

I would have enjoyed it had he used the Boston Herald.... and had not been in the middle of the sidewalk of Mass. Ave.

Sometimes I think I should write a book (tentative title, Tales From The Urban Surveyor) but I'm not sure how a memoir filled by too many disgusting tales will sell. :shrug:

Many of my tales happen in the places you'd think they'd happen in Boston, but too many (if not most) happen in the parts where the millionaires live.

[XemaSab]

22. LA is a whole world apart

I've seen so many things in LA it's really hard to know where to start.

Not so many bodily functions other than seeing people barf a lot, but half naked and/or totally inappropriately dressed homeless are a way of life.

I think my favorite was a fat man wearing a tutu and saran wrap. :o
