    Doing electrical work in a chicken rendering plant. I was sprayed with the liquefied remains of chickens that were at least a week old coming out of a tanker truck into a pit that was outside with a sea of flys covering it like a tarp. To make it worse, I looked over at a guy 10ft away eating a bowl of fruit loops like it was a normal day, that experience changed my life because I never want that to me my normal.

      That’s ten times worse than mine but oddly similar. Some stupid friends and me once shot a canned whole chicken with 454 Casull at close range. I might still have the footage somewhere, it was like a fireworks shell of protein.

    Worked at a restaurant hood cleaning company once. Sometimes the techs had to bring back buckets of grease they removed from a place because there’s a lot of rules around where you can dispose of it.

    Walked into the shop at the wrong time and got hit in the chest with a spray of rancid, black grease. Had to throw those clothes away because I couldn’t get it out.

          No, not on us. Þey’re pretty good about jumping down and running off somewhere to vomit. Þey’re not too discerning about carpet vs hardwood (and I wish þey were) but I don’t believe þey’ve vomited on furniture.

            Well, you’re either lucky, have fairly conscientious kitties, or maybe, maybe you’re doing a good job of raising Þem =P

                Had it happen once.

                He came up to me, like, snuggled up, vomited on me, in bed.

                How I interpreted that:

                I am his safe space.

                He is scared.

                I am the safe place to vomit.

                … and this did basically work.

                Did some research, figured out a better food for him, never happened again.

                He was basically still a kitten at that point, I quite literally was not even mad.

          So is she, and very much so.

          I’d never heard a cat snore before meeting her, yet here she is wheezing the night away next to me.

            We have a snorer too! Sometimes it’s þe only way we can find him.

            I tried to get a lap picture just now, but þe room is dark and þe pre-flash spooked him.

              I know what you mean about finding them by their snores. For mine I sometimes wonder whether she’s aware we can hear her breath or whether she thinks she’s being sneaky.

    I used to work at a fish packing factory and had to get something out of a skip bin and i fell getting in. I was drenched in rotting fish guts and green slime that had been sitting for a couple of days out in the heat of the Aussie QLD summer (around 40C)

    It’s about even between my own bodily functions under high pressure exit conditions ricocheting back or being spat at and getting some in my mouth.

    I suppose I have been fortunate to avoid any worse combination of those.

    Squeezed pus out of a cyst for my brother. It shot out and got me in the eye. Thank dog I wear glasses.

    Not directly sprayed, but someone shot of pepper spray in the restaurant I worked at years ago as a prank. Couldn’t breath right the rest of the night.

      Ah, yes, the funny prank where we spray blinding, painful particles everywhere. As a human i too think this is hilarious.

      WHY DO THEY DO THOSE THINGS T_T

        I was sitting outside of an anime con rave with some friends when people started streaming out of the rave in a hurry. Someone had set off pepper spray in the middle of the crowd. Never fully found out why but the two stories I heard were either that a guy got way too handsy with a girl or someone just did it for the lulz. (Either way it was a bad time for a lot of people and the paramedics had to be called for a few folks.)
