You know, in a job where you pick up recycling from bins, you find some rather unusual things. I've found diaries, tennis balls, money, food, artwork and even toys. But nothing, and I mean nothing, could possibly make me detest the very students I'm supposed to be doing this for than what happened this morning at work.
I entered a large dorm building where mostly freshman live and proceeded to head to the top floor. The first two floors that I serviced were no trouble, other than the usual stuff I can't take, like pizza boxes and coffee cups (because of food and oil residue on them). And then, on the third floor...
In these bins were, at the very least: diapers, cat litter, menstrual pads, birth control... ALL USED, with just about every form of bodily fluid a human can produce in there somewhere... and that's just what I caught from a few glimpses. I was too disgusted to go into that room for more than three seconds at a time... so I promptly called my boss on a radio I carry, and she told me "not to service that floor." (Like I really needed to be told that.) I had to stop for ten minutes because I kept gagging... eugh. One thing about me is I'm somewhat of a germophobe, so suffice to say, I was more than a little put off. I was half-planning to kick down some doors to find out who the hell would do this. Also ended up telling the front desk when I left, and they assured me they'd do something.
There is no way in HELL something like this is an accident. Someone obviously did this on purpose because they thought it'd be funny to gross out the entire floor, which just makes me even more PO'ed at whoever did it. I'm still seeing red, I'm so PO'ed.
