8. His Job Went Down The Toilet
One of our warehouse workers was a young man about 25 years old. He was suspected of having a substance problem, mostly because of absenteeism and because he just seemed off at times. One day, he called our office manager from the back parking lot of our building and said that he had an upset stomach and had pooped in his pants.
She told him that she would try to find a change of clothes to bring out to him. I wish he’d listened. Instead, he ran into the building and into the bathroom off the lobby, trailing poo that was smeared on his shoes onto the floor. He then took off the soiled pants and left them in the bathroom, and ran back outside to his car. At that point, everyone else in the small office was running outside to escape the horrible smell.
Our office manager found a pair of pants in someone’s locker and took them to where the guy was parked. However, she turned around when she saw him standing beside his car with no pants or underwear on. While everyone else was figuring out how to deal with the poo in the office, the guy got in his car and left. He showed up three days later as if nothing had happened. He was told to head back home.
