Work: Today, I was trying to clean the belt of my register at work...

Today, I was trying to clean the belt of my register at work at a grocery store. I noticed two strips of rubber stuck in the corner of the belt, and after pulling on them periodically all morning one finally came loose. It was a foot. I had been pulling at a dead rat trapped in the belt. FML

Today, at work, I found a used condom in the fax machine. I'm the electrical maintenance repair for the company. I have to untangle it from the belts. FML

Today, while running an event, my belt loop got caught in those metal whorls that outdoor chairs have. I couldn't get it undone and had to greet guests by standing up and bringing the chair with me, hanging from my ass. My coworker finally had to cut the belt loop to set me free. FML

Today, I got my hand caught in a belt sander while sanding down what was supposed to become a "Caution" sign. FML

Today, my water wouldn't go down my shower drain. Confused, I stuck a metal stick expecting hair, but instead stabbed and pulled up a rat that was dead in my drain. FML

Today, I noticed my shower drain wasn't draining well. I cleaned it out, thinking it was just a rat's nest of hair. Wrong. It was an actual dead rat. FML

Today, I finally found out what the horrible smell at work was. A rat had decided to make its home in our emergency exit sign and had been fried by the electricity. I now have to fix this. Hello scorched dead rat. FML

Today, while bussing at my restaurant job, I felt a cold, wet animal slither down my leg. I started shrieking loudly and dancing dementedly to get it off, and everyone in the restaurant turned to stare. Then I realized there was a hole in my pocket and some quarters had slid out down my leg. 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, I dropped my remote behind the bed and went to reach for it. Instead of the remote, I grabbed hold of a rat carcass that must have got in when builders were working in my bathroom several weeks ago. FML

#33: I think this is a case of what Ghost Hunters calls "mind matrixing." You see/hear/otherwise sense something in an unexpected place, and instead of realizing the truth, your mind decides it's something else that makes more sense. The OP expected rubber, not a rat, so he/she saw rubber. Therefore, not necessarily fake.

I can understand her seeing it out the corner of her eye and thinking 'oh, bit of rubber', but I cannot believe she touched it and looked closely at it and saw and felt rubber. Have you ever been close to a rat paw? Like I said, they have claws! And hair! And do not stretch! It's like pulling a human hand hanging out of a rubbish bin and saying 'oh it's a glove.' Sure, it looks like a glove at a glance, but when you touch it and get close? That's not a ******* glove.

Ewww... This is why I don't put clothes on those conveyor belts, or if I do, I wash them at least once before wearing them, because God knows what's been on those things. And wash my hands after shopping, mostly because money is so dirty ... but now I have another reason.

haha - how could I have guessed this story came from someone in NJ ;-) I'm from the Midwest and have never been to Jersey, but isn't this what they're always teased about?? lol
