The tweet got thousands of responses — some wild, and others REALLY WILD. So we’re asking people in the BuzzFeed Community to share the wildest situations that have happened at their jobs.
Here are a few examples of the type of bizarre work situations people online have shared:

Cleaning guy was trying to clean the vents & decided to pour bleach into them while AC was running. Ppl start passing out. It was a govt office so we thought it was a chemical attack. Police closed everything for a 5 mile radius. We all had to strip in the parking lot 1/2

2. Service industry workers are this nation’s backbone.
I was a waitress. One of my coworkers had a person throw a coffee pot at them from across the dining room. Luckily it missed. 10 mins later, they asked for a refill of coffee. She, with completely straight face said, “where’s your coffee pot?” Legend
