Work

At my job, our goal is to make the home a safer and healthier environment. We help people replace windows, water heaters, furnaces, fridges, ac units, etc. We also do a lot of awareness/educational stuff like lead poisoning (did you know that in the U.S. lead poisoning is the most frequent type of poisoning to occur in children under the age of 6?) to how to maintain your home properly.

Some of my coworkers were doing a home visit to an elderly lady's home. Her home was old and dark and her smoke detector kept going off. It was really annoying to them and the elderly had poor hearing, probably from the smoke detector, so it didn't bother her.

Broken smoke detectors are a huge health hazard, so one of my coworkers decides to inspect the smoke detector. "Maybe it just a new battery?" he says. He grabs a chair, stands on it, and reaches up to the smoke detector, which is beeping like crazy! It's stuck so he shimmies it and jiggles it harder. As the smoke detector detaches from the ceiling, close to a dozen cockroaches bolt from the smoke detector across the ceiling in different directions, while another good dozen cockroaches FALL RIGHT ONTO MY COWORKERS FACE!!! "AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" HE SWINGS HIS ARMS IN DEFENSE AND LOSES HIS BALANCE! He falls to the floor still screaming and swinging his arms like crazy trying to get rid of the cockroaches!

Eyewitnesses say that it was the most unbelievable thing they've ever seen. Some eyewitnesses say they've never seen that many cockroaches in their life. Another eyewitness states that "It was like, it was raining cockroaches on his face!"

The next day, that guy comes into work with his head shaved.
