Rules first.
- Do not post something that could be personally identifying about anyone. Assume stalkers exist and consider things first.
- Do not share information which is illegal to share.
- Do not share information you are contractually obligated to keep private (trade secrets, client info, etc).
- If you're not sure, assume you can't share it.
- If it's gross, try not to be too detailed, and do warn us.
TMI warning
So! A little bit ago, a coworker told me that I "learn a lot of weird things (I) shouldn't." I had just been explaining to him yay I think we should encourage our customers to drink more water, because dehydration seems to be a very common problem among them.
How do I know that? The autoflush on our urinals frequently fails. As a janitor, I see the evidence over and over, every day.

Lol.
Well, that's interesting. And I have one...working at a pharmacy, I learned that there's an over the counter herbal product called "Horny Goat Weed."
And that it does exactly what it sounds like it does (it's an aphrodesiac).
And that, yes, it was originally discovered by goatherds observing the effect it had on their goats when they were grazing and happened to eat some.
Well, that last bit, I learned from Google, but of course after it came in one of our special orders, we had to look it up. We had a good laugh over it.
Yep.
Horny Goat Weed. It's a thing!

horses are nasty, nasty creatures. along with many other similar livestock (cows, goats, sheep) most of their diagnostic operations are performed...
through the rectum with an arm length glove.
when expressing anal glands on dog or other mammals, there is a possibility that there will be, uh, bowel incontinence. possibly explosive.

I have only been at work OFFICIALLY, no more training, one day and I can already tell you, the smell of marijuana on people makes my lungs feel like they’re going to absolutely DIE. No I do not work in a dispensary. I’m just a sales associate in a glorified gas station, today, a little old man made me laugh a little when he came up with a single banana, better than a candy bar but he could’ve bought more than that but I just assume he wanted a snack and not the whole bunch
