what are the worst calls you've gotten on the job?

[jagec]

Non-computer related and probably my worst call ever.

I had a job where I had to pick up dead animals at various veterinary clinics. I hated the job, but it was money.

I had gotten called to go pick up a dead horse in a local park, and I didn't understand how in the world that was going to happen. My co-worker came by, with a chainsaw and asked me if I was ready.

I quit 10 minutes later. Fuck that.

I was a 911 dispatcher in college. I listened to a guy kill himself with a gun and listened to him take his last breath...with his wife screaming in the background to not do it. That was the worst.

A long time ago we had a remote client down in Philly that we support. We had to do maintenance on a server and had to be rebooted, we did and it never came back up. Called and they said the server is not loading and is beeping. Booked Acela train an hour and so ride, got to the place and found some idiot left folders/books on top of the keyboard....

I was gonna complain about a couple of times where I was stuck working through the night to fix something or other.... but, meh, it doesn't seem all that bad really ...
