For anyone who's ever been a delivery person, repair person, meter reader, etc (basically anyone who got to go to strangers' homes as their job) - ever see any really weird stuff? Care to share?
I can't possibly remember all the weird things but one that I'll always remember was delivering to this guy's home.. really nice guy. I had to stick around longer than usual because he only had big bills and we had to call the store to pay on his card. So I was standing inside the entry way and to the right was this bedroom.. and there was a hospital-like bed, with machines and IV's and tubes and stuff and a child laying, probably sleeping, in it.. hooked up to all this stuff. It was very weird and sad at the same time. It was difficult not to ask.
For a few years I worked as a children's party entertainer (doing "singing telegram" type visits in stiflingly hot character costumes, or sometimes face painting). I worked a few parties at the homes of ridiculously rich families. At one particular party my changing area was an absolutely cavernous "spare" bathroom that had mostly crystal fixtures, and a marble toilet. The main entry room (I hesitate to call it a living room) had velvet ropes to keep people from sitting on the antique furniture (and when I say "antique", by my guess it was probably 18th century). I had no idea people actually lived like this. It was like Versailles. However I have to say the people themselves were very nice, the guests and kids were well behaved and fun, and they tipped very well.
Haha. Well, I can promise that no driver will ever call the cops on some dude smoking weed. Not worth it at all and definitely doesn't benefit the business or tips in any way. He has nothing to worry about. :P
ONCE WHEN I WAS A CABLE INSTALLER I WENT TO THIS CHICKS HOUSE AND SHE KEPT FOLLOWING ME AROUND WITH THIS BIG RED DILDO WHICH WAS WEARING A SOMBRERO AND A NAMETAG THAT SAID FRED.
I don't have any personal stories but I once asked the Comcast guy what the craziest house he had ever seen was. He said he came upon a house that was basically out of the show Hoarders. Moldy bug-covered dishes stacked in the kitchen, piles of rotting dirty laundry, papers stacked everywhere and barely a path to walk through. He said he removed the VCR to get to a box and a nest of cockroaches swarmed out. Apparently as a Comcast technician you can deny service to anyone if you think their house is too dangerous for you to be in. He told them he couldn't be in their house any longer and left without fixing anything.
