Today, at my minimum wage job, we received a half-way decomposed dog found in a lake. It was my job to tear open the bag and try to identify the breed and color. It would've been easier if the body wasn't crawling with maggots. FML

Today, my dog vomited a writhing mass of maggots. It was the most disgusting thing I've ever smelled, and I was baffled as to where she found a maggot infested dead thing to eat. Baffled, until my mom reminded me that my cat has been missing, presumed dead, for over a week. FML

Today, I found maggots in the ketchup on my sausage. Too bad I had already eaten half of it. FML

Today, I started my community service at the dog pound. I like animals so I thought it would be a good place to do it. As I arrived they were throwing dogs that had been euthanized into a dump truck to be taken to a landfill. That was my job for the day. FML

Today, I saw maggots dropping from beneath my car. I looked under, to see a rotting paw dangling from my engine. That would explain the smell. FML

Today, while making less than minimum wage at McDonalds, I had to dispose of a grown man's soiled underwear that he left on the bathroom floor under a pile of toilet paper. It isn't even the grossest thing I've seen in my six months of employment. FML

Today, after three weeks of holding out, my stingy boss finally called animal control about the birds in the air vent above the register. While I was working, they rummaged through the vents, causing live maggots to fall down right in front of me. FML

Today, after 8 years in exceptionally difficult veterinarian classes which put me $200,000 in debt, and 7 months of job searching, I finally got a job. I will be inspecting feces for worms while making minimum wage. FML

Today, it was my first day as an animal control officer. My first dispatch was to collect a dog that had been hit by a car. I had to clean up my dead dog on my first day of a job that barely pays rent. FML

Today, I took mine and my sister's dog for a walk in the park near my house. The dog managed to find a large piece of rotting, frozen meat buried in the snow and tried to eat it. I had to pry it from his mouth and can't get the smell out of my gloves and coat. FML

What kind of job is this??

The job could be cleaning parks/recreational areas, not sure why you need to identify the dog though

#29 the only rationale to this terrible written "crammed" is that OP deserved this because #12 states he chose the job he is being forced to do. The rest is unsubstantiated rubbish.

#29 maybe this will help... #12 is saying that the bag being brought in and having to identify it comes with a specific job. You wouldn't be asked to do that working at McDonald's or a gas station. So #12 is saying the OP chose that job and therefore deserves it.

All jobs need to be done. Instead of being a petty jerk, you could maybe respect OP for being able to do something like that.

It's a dead, decomposing animal in NC. Why would you expect it not to be crawling with maggots?

Maggots help break down decomposing bodies, so the location isn't very important.

OP here - I work at a non-profit animal shelter. Along with live animals, we also get the county's DOA's frequently and we have to check them for identification, but never anything like that.

Did you identify it?

Do you work there by need or to help animals? I suppose its the latter but either way its nice that you work helping others :) and sorry that you had to go through that! I say this in reply to #12 who was very rude without even knowing what you do. Greetings!

Oh I love working with the animals! It's just some things like this get brought to us and well...it's so bad it makes you rethink your choice in job. But the animals I help keep me staying around, it makes up for every disgusting thing I come across every day.
