re: What is the weirdest thing you've ever seen at your job?

I ordered a pizza one night and shared it with him. He told me no one (meaning other patient families) had ever even spoken to him, much less asked if he wanted something (I'd occasionally get him a soft drink when I went down to the cafeteria). Makes you think.
That was very nice of you to do that for him
We've had other family members hear a baby crying and walk by and see the baby alone in the room and ask us what is wrong. But with HIPAA and all, I'm not allowed to tell them anything. Some have offered to go hold the baby until we can go tend to the baby, and while that is a very nice gesture on their part, I can't let them do that either(although I wish I could).

Don't know that it's weird, but it's cringeworthy.
A patient pulled his catheter out of his penis with the balloon used to lock it in place still inflated. He walked down the hall with blood trailing him on the floor and dripping down his legs.
If forced to choose, I'd rather eat shite from my colostomy bag than do that.

Yeah but what if it's a single mom? Or...and we see a lot of this....mom is here in the US but Dad was just deported back to Mexico, leaving her to raise the kids on her own. And sometimes, even when there are two parents, one of them may be the sole provider for the family and may have a job that isn't forgiving of missing work for any reason. Sometimes those families have to make tough decisions. They could lose their job if they stay the night and then lose their home, etc.
We are always understanding if family cannot stay. We always try our best to not make them feel guilty for leaving and assure them that their child will be very well cared for while they are gone and that they can call at any time to check up on their child.
I'm not speaking for anyone else but myself. All I know is if my 5 yr old little girl is in the hospital and she's sick to the point she's vomiting her own feces, there's no power on this planet that could pry me from her bedside.

My first job out of college, two FBI agents showed up at my office to interview me about an overseas customer I'd met pretty regularly there in Houston.
Around a year later, I learned that the customer was recalled to his home country and executed.

I used to work in a large room shared with 4 or 5 other employees. There were 2 entry doors. One day a door swung open pretty violently and a big dude in jail garb and leg irons entered and then exited on the other side. An elderly Deputy Sheriff followed in short order with revolver drawn hollering for the escapee to stop. Deputy was winded but caught his man in our parking lot. We went to the door where the Deputy who was really gassed at this point asked us for help. I went out there and the Deputy handed me his gun and said "here, hold this away from this guy until I can get him cuffed". I wanted to use a Clint Eastwood line but complied with what I was asked to do.
We learned later that the prisoner made a run for it while being attended to in a nearby Dentist's office.

I used to work for Compaq back before the HP Merger. We had a very diverse team, people from all over the world.
I come strolling in to the restroom one day and there's this chinaman at one of the urinals taking a leak and his pants and underwear (tighty whities) were dropped all the way to the floor around his ankkes. Like little kids do.
I just spun on my heal and walked out the door and down to the next floor.
We had another dude, from Pakistan, who would stand on the rim of the toilet bowl and drop shite bombs from about 3 feet up. The first time I experienced it I was sitting in a stall, the door to the one next to me opens, feet walk in, turn around, one foot goes up, the other foot goes up, I hear unzip, pants drop down, grunt, grunt, ka-SPLOOSH! I damn near laughed myself off the pot. I got out of there before he did and told my office mate what had just happened. He said "yeah, that's Suresh, we call him "the Mad Bomber".

At least he had good aim, several of the asians I have worked with in the past did this, but missed the fricking toilet frequently

I once worked with a lady who collected Coke bottle tops that had the codes on them but never redeemed them. She had plastic grocery bags full of them.
One of the weirdest things at work was at the library. At closing time i went to go check the bathroom to make sure it was clear and discovered a pack of frozen salt pork and a box of frozen hotpockets? WTF?!?
Then I realized that a shady, trashy patron had been in the library right before closing. The reason she did not have these items in a bag was because the biotch stole them from the store next door by shoving them down her pants. She took them out when she went to the bathroom and forget them. So i called the store and told the owner and naturally he did not want the items back so I fed them to the dog.
About those coke codes...
Stupid of that lady not to redeem them. I use them to buy stuff for friends and family (magazine subscription, music download cards, kitchenware, amazon gift cards, shutterfly custom made photobooks for friends who have lost a loved one, etc) and will be getting my amazon fire tablet with them too.

Had the cops show up to the office and arrest a guy for being the leader in some child porn ring. He had a wife and kids and everything. Pretty fricked up

A buddy of mine was traveling for work and had to share a room with a new partner. My buddy was new to the job, partner was a veteran of the business, been a Land Man for years traveling the country.
My buddy decides to go out for dinner and Old dude says he's staying put. He goes out for a quick bite. It turns out to be too quick. When he gets back to the room his partner is sitting at the little table in the dinette area, pantless, eating pickled jalapenos from a big ole jar, sweating the whole time, whilst under the table, there's the skanky roadwhore give him a blowjob.
My friend was exhausted, decided "frickit", walked right past them, never making eye contact, got in bed and went to sleep.
He and the old partner never spoke of it but he requested that he never travel with that dude again.

Navy Stories:
A guy in bootcamp kept getting yelled at for his fingers being apart when he saluted. He sewed each of his knuckles together using his Navy sewing kit. Dude got processed out of the Navy the next day.
Another guy got processed out when he was found in the middle of an Orlando neighborhood carrying a dog muzzle and being completely naked except for a "Steak n Shake" apron
Worked sentry duty at a barracks and watch SP's and NCIS arrest a guy for kiddie porn
Non-Navy:
Worked at a Network Operations Center in Wash D.C. Our office was on the 10th floor.
During the late night shifts, you could occasionally look out the window down to the alley and see a hooker getting railed by her john.

Not weird but the hardest thing to see was a guy pushing a carrot that got stuck in an automatic julienne machine when I was in school.
Not a good idea to put your hand near something made to do this at an industrial level.

I work at a prison. When there are incidents, (fights etc.) the control center will make a radio call that staff needs assistance in a particular location. One afternoon, about ten years ago, the control center announced that staff needed assistance outside the front entry building, where there are no inmates.
Turns out a couple, who were separated at the time, ran into one another at the credit union across the street. She jumps in the car and attempted to drive away and he jumps in the the hood of the car, like Spiderman!
She drives to the prison and gets onto the perimeter road screaming for help. He jumps off the hood and busts the driver's side window trying to get to her before the perimeter patrol draws down on him.
The local police arrested him a short while later.
