Anyone else had near death experiences at work?
I've had:
-I happened to call in sick on the night the store was robbed. The guy who covered my shift got hit in the face with a hockey stick.
-two drunken customers fighting in the store, one turned and looked like he was about to start on me but then the cops turned up.
-In the store room a 10kg bag of flour fell from a high shelf and landed right where I'd been standing half a minute before.
-I'd decided to vary the order in which I did my usual between-customers jobs, leaving emptying the rubbish on the forecourt for last. An out of control car hit one of the rubbish bins right when I'd have been doing it if I'd followed the usual order. (I like to think I'd have seen that one coming and got out the way)
