Things you don't want to find on the Job.

So I've this afternoon been strimming down a much overgrown lawn for a customer. It was going well, despite the miserable drizzle, until bang; I realise that I've strimmed right through a pile of dog sh*t! It took a second or so to react so the pile was pretty much sprayed everywhere. Including me no doubt. It's hard to tell given how much debris is spattered up anyway when strimming, but hopefully not too much went in my face. Rank!

It happened one more time during the job but not so bad the second time as I was primed to find more by then. Not much you can do to avoid it when the grass is 6 - 12 in high as far as I can think. If there was too much then I'd refuse to do the job.

I can't of much else worse to find doing this particular job, except cat sh*t!

 

Anyway this got me thinking;- what is the worst thing others have found or are afraid to find?

I'm starting with grass cutting since that's what triggered this but I'm expecting to hear about

Tree work as well. (Sh*t of any type comes high on my list when I'm working on a tree as well. If unseen it rapidly moves from boots to tree to ropes to hands and everywhere!).

Mate of mine did railway/utility work, found a dildo tied to a springy low branch with lots of gay porn laying around.

 

All very cosy apparently.

If I didn't come into contact with shit most days I'd be broke.

 

You just reminded me of some one on here, one of the lads who work/live in France who found some WW11 Munitions with his stump grinder. I'm glad that wasn't me or there would have been shit everywhere.

He was the same guy who was having a surreptitious crap on the top of a bank, he turned round to find a dog sniffing his arse, then realised it had a lead on it with a middle aged woman on the end.

While we were clearing out some bushes for the local county court we found what must have been over 20 used syringes. It was unbelievable how many were under there!

Last thing I want to see is an Enforcement Officer.

Hahahaha, the old 'mate of mine' story!

Seems like I haven't lived. Tree Dildo, munitions and syringes certainly make my day seem tame! Really wouldn't fancy any of them.
I've just remembered a job I worked on clearing beside the M6, the number of plastic bottles part filled with yellow liquid was amazing. Is it Lorry Driver Shandy they call it?

Doing a garden rubbish clearance years ago, it became apparent that the family who lived there would just launch dirty nappies straight out of the back door into the garden.
It got worse further in when we found a carrier bag with a litter of dead puppies, think they’d been drowned.
Filth.
