A thread for funny and bizarre work stories!
Yesterday the students reminded us just how bizarre they can be with a prank that was completely new even to Emma and VJ, who've been doing this job for ages. Some guys snuck over to another flat and posted a live lobster through their letterbox...

the sixty plus year old woman who reaked of booze coming in and asking me for a soap that smelled like her and her husband having sex.
Brain bleach anyone

A lack of students or customers to be dealt with in my work no doubt limits its capacity for producing anything suitably amusing.

Man come sin ranting and yelling about some guy thats parked in his way outsied the shop me "can you please stop yelling in my shop sir." Man "that guy blocked me in!!! Does he work here!?! me "no." Man" ...oh. (really quietly) sorry."
Sometimes I have to try really hard not to laugh.

The lobster may have been topped - the latest student incident wasn't a prank, but it was hilarious.
I woke up at half past three this morning because I could hear this strange knocking noise that was going on and on. Eventually I got up and wandered out to my living room, and realised that someone was knocking on my door.
I answered the door and found a student, wearing nothing but boxers and socks, looking very bemused. I asked him what he was doing, and he pointed at my neighbour's door and said "I was trying to get in there."
I told him he had the wrong flat, because my neighbour is also a warden, so it wasn't a student flat. "Oh," he said, and wandered away. From what I heard a few minutes later, he'd gone upstairs and was knocking and ringing at the door of one of the student flats, which I hope was the right one or he's going to be really unpopular.
Sometimes this job is like having a child. A big, daft, drunken child.

The students are back, and they brought their silliness with them...
The first night, we had one guy who was brought back home at 11.30, so drunk he didn't realise his trousers were in serious danger of falling down.
Last night's was less funny and more "Oh, for God's sake..." I was woken up at 3am by a girl who was in tears because she'd lost her keys - bit excessive in itself, but when I went and unlocked her room, she went in, got her HAIR STRAIGHTENERS, and then went off with some guy. I was speechless for a couple of moments.

Definitely. Who cries because they can't get to their hair straighteners, anyway?

i don't have a work but at school we had a officer come in and as he walked around the class he tripped and one of my friends said 'Have a nice trip, See you next fall'. couldn't stop laughing for the rest of the period.

Hehehe 'enjoy your trip' is the best retort ever invented.

Wardening is definitely a little bit like being a parent. Last night I got called out to get a wasp out of someone's room.

Was the person allergic? Or just a bowl of quivering jello? ^^;;

The student's boyfriend (who was staying over) was allergic. The student herself was just really scared. I think she should conquer her fear in the name of love, instead of getting a random pyjama-clad woman to come up and swat things with a rolled-up magazine ;D
