I had a roadkill, cursing out coworkers, and sighting all in one day, + a bonus!
Leaving a parking lot (I'm the white car) I was making a right into the main row to get to the street. I looked and only saw a blue car coming down much further up. I began to make my turn and suddenly HOOOOONNNNKKKK! There was a red car right up my ass! I kept going and raised my hand in apology. The only way that guy could have appeared like that was if he came-down the other main row perpendicular to mine at about 40mph, blew through HIS OWN stop sign on the right-turn, and kept coming. I got to the next stop sign to turn onto the street and the guy (an older 'Gentleman') pulled-up into the lane of oncoming traffic next to me! I rolled down my window and was treated to a screaming cuss fest. I calmly said "Sir I am very, very sorry about that, you came-up so fast that I didn't see you." Cue more cussing and him screaming for me to get the hell out of here. I made my next turn and luckily he went the opposite. I really WAS sorry, but it was an accident, nobody was hit, and I believe he was going too fast; If I could see the blue car, I would have seen him too.
At work today one coworker came in pale and clammy. He said he wasn't feeling too good. Within an hour, I walk back into the office to find a TRAIL OF VOMIT from the desk to the trash (about 12 feet). Coworker says he's going to take the night off (don't know if he called the boss about that, but coworker has dubbed himself 'Supervisor' so I suppose that would be his job
. It was quiet and we didn't really need him. HOWEVER...He left his vomit for the rest of us to clean. Make that ME because my other coworker walked in, turned green, and ran out. Our cleaners had run out of absorbing powder (see bonus story) so I got baking soda and carpet powder from the dollar store and the cleaner and I spent about 1/2 hour cleaning up. But we had no way to scrub the carpet, so it's dry and doesn't smell but is really nasty stained!
After work I went to a 24hr grocery. The only lanes open are 4-self-checkouts. I get up there and see an angry middle-aged woman stalking back and forth at times muttering, other times yelling "Are there any frickin' employees in this store!" And bitching to her husband. A very nice employee came-up and apologized to the woman for the confusion and directed her to the self-check. She screeched "I HAVE TO DO IT MYSELF!?!" and there was another rant about being old, having too many groceries, etc. Then of course she and her husband couldn't figure how to pay, slide their cards, etc.
The bonus story is the reason cleaning had run out of absorbing powder. Because the night before, just as the mall closed. Someone decided to vomit 4 times in, on and around our photo booth and not stay a word. But they did leave 2-vomit-covered dollar bills behind.
