Health, Gross and Work: Biohazard

Biohazard

By Bloody Nose - 16/04/2016 05:14 - United States - Saint Louis

Today, I had the longest, bloodiest, bloody nose ever when I was at work. I got blood on a few materials as I was running to the restroom. I work in a food factory, so everything had to be sanitized and thrown out. Now management wants me to pay for everything we had to throw out. FML

Today, I was at rehearsal for a musical. I got a violent nosebleed in the middle of rehearsing and got blood all over my costume. I now owe $350 to the company for the damage I caused. FML

Today, while at work, I managed to scrape open the inside of my nose with my fingernail, drawing blood in the process. I had to quickly up an explanation for my scream that didn't go: "Well, I was scouting for boogers..." FML

Today, I parked in the parking lot at work feeling like I had to sneeze. As I was walking in, the sneeze finally came. Apparently, my nose was bleeding so when I sneezed, blood got all over the floor and my brand new work clothes. FML

Today, I went back to work after a nasty sinus infection. While I was talking to my manager, I sniffled, and a huge ropy string of green snot popped out of my nose. My manager pointed and shrieked, "OH MY GOD! EWWWW!", getting the attention of everyone in the office. FML

Today, I had to take out the grease traps from our fryers. A very rude co-worker cut me off, so I had to abruptly stop and try to prevent as much spilling as possible. Luckily, it only spilled on me. I'm here for six more hours with burned, smelly, greasy spots all over my skin and clothes. FML

Today, I was working at a fast food restaurant when I cut my hand. There was a good amount of blood flowing out so I ran to my manager and asked where the first aid kit was. He then picked up a washcloth and some tape and handed it to me. FML

Today, after stopping to pick up dinner at a fast food joint, I got a nosebleed. I immediately reached into the bag to grab napkins and began stuffing them up my nose, only to find out too late that a mustard packet had burst in the bag. FML

Today, I was working at the checkout. Trying to be hygienic, I suppressed a sneeze. I continued to serve the next person. As I was giving her her change, she looked at me with a horrified expression. I looked down and my shirt was covered in a trail of snot all the way to my belt. FML

Today, a pipe leaked in the store I work at. I had to smell sordid waste for more than 8 hours. FML

I used to work in an assembly line making sandwiches and I got fired because we had a surprise inspection and I was wearing gloves and a medical mask, which apparently caused unnecessary alarm. I had the flu and I had tried to call in sick every day for the past 3 days and had been told I would be fired if I didn't show up. I guess common sense is not all that common in the food production industry!

It was an accident. You don't have to pay for anything.

By law they cannot force you to pay for anything.

If the bloody nose is bad enough, that's a good way to drown.

Step 1: break managers nose Step 2: watch him bleed all over the place. Be sure to laugh and point. Step 3: tell him to pay for it Step 4: walk out while flipping him off Step 5: find a new job

Yeah, that is illegal. They can't fire you or make you pay for anything, even though its just bloody nose it is still a work injury and is covered by workers comp laws.

Bummer. Sorry to hear your bosses are asshats. I had the same thing happen but I work in a clean room environment so my white clean room suit and hood were destroyed!
