I had a pretty bad day today but I am sure others have had had worse. What was your worst day at work? Surely some gold to be mined in here?

Days at work tend to vary quite frequently. The low point would be a down syndrome pupil spitting in my mouth.

Coaching an after school club, 5 mins in one girl comes up and tells me she poo'd herself. Luckily a TA was still at the school, so she sorted the girl out. Unfortunately, it was raining and the school only had the one sports hall, so the smell lingered, even with open windows 
Only spitting?
Not snotting the way only DS kids (Love em to bits) seem to be able to?
I have taken the full green snot,and then helped the perp find a hanky!!!!!

About five years ago when my wife phoned me and told me she had cancer.

Whilst an apprentice Stonemason ,i had to work laying headstones in Graveyards.On one occasion being young and knowing it all ,i decided carrying a headstone would be easier than using a sacktruck.I ended up dropping the headstone smashing it and holding up a Funeral as we cleared up ,not the best day ever.

Any day where I have to deliver a death message is a pretty shitty day. Though I'm always conscious that I can go home & things will be normal, whereas my "customers" might not ever do that again.
So my idea of a "bad day" is all relative really. But that task never gets easier.

Filling the cement mixer with fairy liquid thinking it was diesel, after a bit of spluttering and a few bubbles the whole thing shook to a nervous standstill

I'd just got into work at 8.30 when a phone call came through from Worthing hospital to tell me that my Dad had taken a turn for the worse.

Probably the day I found out that one of my rota team partners had died suddenly when we thought he was making a full recovery.
Sadly, in 30 years at BT there's been a few taken far too early and it always seems to be the decent ones.

I literally take my hat off to you. This is the worst possible thing to be telling anyone and I do t know how officers do this

When I was an A&E charge nurse I had a child killed by a mum with post natal depression, the dad turned up and tried to kill her and then we had a sudden infant death brought in about two minutes later.
Anything that has happened at work since then has been firmly placed in perspective.

With a very, very brave face I should imagine. But I think they would find a corner out of the way somewhere afterwards.I literally take my hat off to you. This is the worst possible thing to be telling anyone and I do t know how officers do this

I had many railway days ( and nights ) that pushed me to the limit work wise but the worst one's were the days when somebody died on my patch ( suicides mainly ) As much as you can get used to dealing with the suicide situations the hardest part was talking to the train driver seconds after it had happened or talking to another member of staff that had just witnessed it.

I was working on the shop floor about 13 years ago now setting one of the machines. I just had a feeling somebody was behind me and when I turned round my wife was standing there, in tears.
