You think your job is weird? Think it’s just you and your mildly unhinged coworkers up to no good on the clock? Think again.
The RockShow With Chrissy And Wes asked Lubbock: What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever seen at work? And honestly, it might be time for someone to call OSHA. Here are their wildest answers.

A former call center employee told us that a freshly trained coworker lasted approximately 5 minutes on the phones before ripping off the bandaid and really laying into the customers about his boy parts.

Another person said that one summer, when they worked in the kitchen of a summer camp, a staff member came in shirtless, hoisted one of his dirty feet into the prep sink, and began washing it.

You can probably imagine the kinds of stories we got from retail workers. You guys deserve WAY more money. One guy told us that a lady once brought a goat into his store. Another man said a group of furries tried to rob his store. And a grown woman apparently cried when she was asked to pick up her dog’s poo in another store, and when she did, she did it BARE-HANDED. Lord, have mercy.

A warehouse employee reported that a forklift driver once hit a waterline, ruining millions of dollars’ worth of products. A machinist told us they saw their coworkers openly doing blow in the break room on their first day. And, a bartender watched one of their married regulars make out with a 6’2 drag queen like it was just another Tuesday.

Oh, and let’s not forget…a limo driver revealed he once let a curious couple sit in his stretch limo on New Year’s Eve…except, they didn’t just sit. They tipped him $100 after completing SOMETHING from their bucket list. You can use your imagination on that one.

The takeaway? Your workplace isn’t work. Work is just weird, and Lubbock simply refuses to pretend otherwise.
Clock in. Stay alert. And, maybe avoid the family restroom unless you’ve just gotta go…AND, as always, keep scrolling for more Lubbock fun in the galleries below…
