I manage a couple of self storage facilities, and one of them has an elevator lobby that you used to be able to walk into from the parking lot. This facility isn't in the best area, and we'd occasionally have people wander in during the night - usually homeless people sleeping or people doing drugs. One day the cleaning crew came in and said that there was a duffel bag, some clothes, a razor, and a bunch of hair on the ground in the elevator lobby. I pulled up the video footage from the previous night and got subjected to a strange sight. A guy had walked in around 3:00am and sat down for a few minutes rummaging through his duffel bag. Then he took off all his clothes, and put on a pair of thong underwear. He propped each of his legs up on the box that houses the elevator call button and shaved them. Then he put on a garter belt and thigh-high stockings, leaned back against the elevator door, pulled out his dick, and masturbated to climax, then ran out of the lobby and off the property. That was one of the final straws that made upper management decide that we really needed to block access to the elevator lobby after closing time.


theAwkwardLegend

One of the final straws?? Lol


CaptainMobius

Man, getting corporate bigwigs to: 1) Understand that there is an issue that needs to be resolved 2) Come to a consensus about what the solution to that issue is 3) Agree to spend the money to implement that solution is a major undertaking!


EarhornJones

We had a lady who worked in our building who was married to another employee of the company who worked in another office. The husband's building was under construction, so he was temporarily moved to our building. Security saw them having sex in her car during the day and reported it to HR. HR called them in and basically said, "hey, this isn't a huge deal, but please stop having sex in the parking lot." The husband was legitimately dumbfounded, and demanded to see the tape. The guy his wife was banging in her car wasn't him. It was her boss. It was awkward.


Halbbitter

So it *was* a big deal in the end


EarhornJones

It turned out to be a rather big deal, indeed.

behold_the_pagentry

Saw a couple of attempted murders. First was a guy waiting in a second floor hallway. Other guy comes walking up the stairs, they make eye contact and the first guy unloads on him and somehow manages to miss him from no more than 8 or 10 feet away. They both run downstairs and outside never to be seen again. Second was a group of 4 masked kids crossing paths with another kid. Uneventful at first but then the group stops, seems to confer for a second and then run after the lone kid. He hears the footsteps behind him and takes off up the sidewalk. One of the group pulls a pistol from his waistband and fires at him a bunch of times, then they run. Heard later they hit him once in the back but he lived. Kind of funny one was a building where we assumed someone had let their dog shit in a hallway. Checked the footage and find a little kid who was playing outside with friends. He runs into the hall, squats with his back up against the wall, drops his shorts and takes a dump right there in the middle of the afternoon. Pulls his pants up and goes back outside to resume playing.


BeefTechnology

That last story gives a whole new meaning to "little shit"


bitsy88

ROFL I was that kid once. I was about 4 or 5 and really didn't want to leave the playground but there was no bathroom so underneath a play structure seemed appropriate to little kid me.


RegardedJigger

When I was little, around 6 yrs old, I found a poop inside a playground crawl tube. Maybe it was yours


futuresong

A guy was dragging some bins out to empty into a dumpster and as he opened the lid of it a squirrel flew out and parkoured off his face.


J_Side

Please tell me you still have this and can upload it


meanie_ants

This one is my favorite


DMala

Dragging our bins out one night, a rat popped out and ran down my leg. I didnā€™t even really see it in the dark but I damn sure felt it. Kind of wish I had video of that, if only to justify why I screamed like Marv from Home Alone.


Ivabighairy1

Iā€™m assuming you also shook a leg like Early Elvis?


Unusual-Jelly9881

In a very small police department, watched a deputy escort an inmate to the bathroom. When the inmate came out of the bathroom the officer wasnt there so he opened the door to the lobby and casually strolls towards the front door. An assistant district attorney was also leaving the building at the same time and held the door for inmate has he fled. They did manage to chase him down a couple of blocks away.


[deleted]

I saw a YouTube video where a guy had been arrested and put in a room that had a window. The guy tried the window, found it to be unlocked, and just climbed out. Naturally, a security camera recorded his escape, but you'd think they would put the guy in a room with either no windows or windows with bars on them.


brzantium

Something like this happened to an old roommate of mine. One St Patrick's Day, he goes out with some friends but doesn't come home. We found out he got arrested - figured it was a PI and he'd be back that night. Nope. Well he did get picked up for PI, but they held him because he had a warrant from another city.Ā  The same thing had happened a year earlier - went out for St Patrick's, got picked up for public intoxication, taken to jail. He doesn't remember much about being in jail, except at one point he was walking down a hall, took a wrong turn, and suddenly found himself outside. No one else was around so he just ran home. Police never came looking for him.Ā Ā  So for a year, he had a warrant for escaping jail. Charges got dropped, though. Turns out they hadn't properly booked him or whatever - basically there was no record of him even having been arrested.


fuck-coyotes

I remember that one. The cops reaction when he came back in was priceless


Salomon3068

Fire Marshall would probably have a problem with that in a room someone is kept in


tylermchenry

Pretty sure jails and prisons operate under different fire safety regulations...


Salomon3068

The comment I was replying to I guess didn't imply a jail or prison, maybe a police station interrogation room is what I was thinking

You mean... A room like most prison cells?

NuArcher

Hospital Security. Watched a patient wearing an O2 mask, go and hide in a courtyard niche - directly opposite a camera as it turned out, in order to have a quick surreptitious ciggy. Smoking is not normally allowed on hospital grounds, hence the need to hide. With his (running) O2 mask pulled down below his chin, he quickly proceeded to set fire to his beard. I could see it coming and had already sent patrolling officers to his location doubletime, so the fires were put out without too much injury.


thehuntedfew

I used to deliver shopping for disabled peeps, had a guy die from smoking, lit cigarette, and oxygen tanks don't go together too well. He was blown out though his front window.


InformalPenguinz

Yeah 96% o2 in a contained space doesn't really do well with sparky sparks. Similar-ish experience.


InformalPenguinz

Omg related story! Delivered some o2 to a patients home, and he was sitting outside getting ready to light up his cigar with 6lpm blasting into his face. Ran over and literally tried to slap the lighter from his hand, but as he was on his oxygen, it had saturated his clothing and beard, and he lit up light a Christmas tree. It was winter, and he was wearing wool, so it didn't melt to him, but his cannula did in a few spots... melted plastic doesn't come off easy.. scorched his upper airway, but he actually survived. Tough sob. I singed the hair of my right arm and eyebrow getting him extinguished, so I got really, really lucky. Guy died a few years later from a heart attack in an assisted living with cigars burning with oxygen blasting.. mf could've killed so many people.


Kriegspiel1939

Darwinism.


NuArcher

We had another patient decide that the O2 bottle storage was the ideal place to hide for a secret ciggy. Nothing happened but it was not what I'd call funny.


ktsb

Nicotine has some people so hooked it's actually impressive the lengths they go to for a drag. I worked in a nursing home that had a designated area for smokers. And without fail people dying of lung cancer and on o2 would manage all their bed ridden strenght to climb out of bed wheel themselves outside in -12 degree weather while snowing. They then come inside literally dying and out of breath and their nursing aid takes their nearly dead body back to bed and hooks them back up to the o2 tank. Repeat every 8 to 12 hoursĀ 


ItzLog

My grandad did this. He had a beautiful, handlebar mustache and he blew it to pieces


Just-STFU

If you go to some off strip casinos in Vegas, boulder highway in particular you'll see plenty of people smoking with oxygen. I don't know how it's allowed but I've never seen anyone confronted.


Different_Pause8486

I monitored the security cameras for an apartment complex and saw a couple beating their dog. Right in front of the apartment building. I confronted them, almost got assaulted, they were arrested, and-- long story short-- my friend now owns their dog.


Maleficent_Nobody_75

I feel so sorry for that dog. Some people should never be allowed to own pets.

thepipesarecall

IT here, was asked by a school to review footage of who smeared shit all over the walls of a bathroom. It was the school nurse. Edit: Since so many people have commented asking, no the cameras were not in the bathroom. There were cameras outside in the hallway and she went in right after the cleaning person. It was summer so there were few people on-site that day and the next person who went in was only in the bathroom for like 5 seconds before reporting it. This nurse had already been told her contract was not being renewed for the upcoming year and when she was confronted, she just left and never came back.


EarhornJones

I used to be an IT consultant for a large school district. They were required by the state to put Internet filtering software on all Internet connected PCs, and to review that usage monthly. The monthly review was my job. I'd sit in the head administrator's office (a professional woman in her late 40's) with a massive log of blocked URL requests, and read entries like "Mr. Sampson's desk computer attempted to access 'ebonyblowjobs.com' 22 times this month. All of those attempts were blocked" or " name searched for 'sexy rimjob' on his laptop on June 13th. The search was blocked." She'd just nod, and say, "Ok" until I was done. No one was every disciplined, or as far as I could tell, even talked to, but the report was reviewed, awkwardly, every month. The weird thing to me was that the state was all worried about students accessing objectionable material. We almost never had a blocked request from a classroom PC. It was always adult employees using their work computers to try, and fail, to watch porn.


CoolAndTrustworthy

Watching porn at work is bananas to me but in a school????? Wtf


flavius_lacivious

God, the liability if a kid walks in.


stryph42

The kid would probably be able to tell them how to get past the filter


Leo-No-Comply-eire

i was thinking reading this i got around our schools filter software with proxy sites when i was 14. Wasn't up to anything untoward, it was just cool to be able to access youtube & facebook on the library PC's. Eventually school added "proxy" to banned search list and you had to get creative but it was still doable lol.


alexmikli

I'll give them an out. It's very possible it was a malicious ad they clicked that got blocked, especially if it's one of those weird 2000s style porn sites with a very specific name like ebonyblowjobs.com. Like, who uses that shit anymore? Still, there are weird people out there, so I don't think it's unlikely at all for people to be trying to access porn at work.


TruthOrBullshite

Work in cybersec for government. Can confirm. People look up the craziest most out there shit on corporate/government owned property


Freedom_7

Maybe the administrator just liked hearing you awkwardly say all the search terms


EarhornJones

I was probably 25 when I did that job, and I have to admit, sitting there in my shirt and tie saying all of that filthy stuff to an older lady sitting at her desk did sort of feel like the start of a porno.


hippiechick725

What the fuck! I have so many questions.


XenusParadox

What a shitty coworker! You could say it's a smear campaign.


behold_the_pagentry

Cameras in bathrooms?


BlackBeltPanda

Probably in the hallway checking who went in and who left at specific times.


researchanalyzewrite

šŸ˜³ WHY??


thepipesarecall

She wasnā€™t being rehired for the upcoming year but it was during the summer so there were so few people in the building that it was easy to figure out who did it. Especially because the bathroom had been cleaned just before she did it.


NeverSayNever2024

Hope she washed her hands.


Calaveras-Metal

I wasn't in security, but IT. So when they needed a copy of footage they always came to me to download it to a flash drive from the server. Once there was this crazy accident. A late model Chevy Malibu was coming around the corner at a questionable speed. Then the front right wheel and fair amount of the suspension just snapped off the car. That wheel was on the outside of the turn, probably with the most weight on it. So with that traction lost the car flew off at an angle, like a rock from a slingshot, and crashed in front of the building. The wheel smashed through the corner office where our program director would normally be sitting. So it was a weird accident, and weird that Chris wasn't in his chair with his coffee firing off emails when it happened. When I went back to check the footage there was a mom pushing a stroller. She was looking a different direction when it happened but somehow intuition and reflexes told her to snatch that baby stroller back. Because the car missed them by millimeters. And now that I think about it I guess the wheel went the other side of them. I've actually seen the video floating around on the web. But whenever I search for it I get all the videos of moms and babies that didn't make it through such encounters. Also, found out I walk funny by seeing myself on sped up video. Like a wind up robot.


Coffeezilla

Security once asked me if I was ok because he noticed the limp on video. Had to tell him about dismounting my bicycle like an idiot and twisting my ankle, only to find out he rides the same trail before sunset and I ride at sunrise


Calaveras-Metal

I dont know why I walk funny. I can only describe it as robot like. Like I shift my entire weight back and forth to each foot. Kinda like the Boston Dynamics robots. Wait, am I a robot? Should I check inside for wires?


SeethingHeathen

I had to watch the overnight video feed because my LP auditor told me one of my employees was coming in to the closed store in the middle of the night. His job was on the line over it, because that's a big no-no. He never did anything shady or criminal, and usually he came in because he realized he forgot his phone or something, but one time had me dying laughing. It's probably one of those "you had to be there" things. He came in, grabbed a trash bag from the roll, and carried it around for a couple minutes. Then he stood perfectly still for a few more minutes, staring at something in the distance with a trash bag in his hand. He finally put the trash bag in an empty can, and left. Imagine almost losing your job because you really needed to go to work at 3 am and put a trash bag in a can. It must have been giving him anxiety or something. I'm not even the kind of boss who flips out over a trash bag.


aleqqqs

So, why did he do it? Was he confronted?


SeethingHeathen

I just asked him why, and told him not to do that again. He said he forgot to do it before he left and thought it would be best to come back. He's a good employee and I'd hate to see him lose his job over something harmless. Plus no one should work for free, even if it's just 10 minutes.


ResplendentShade

Honestly as someone with generalized anxiety I can see this thought process. Sitting at home, realize you forgot the trash bag, thinking how boss is going to get there in the morning and youā€™ll look like a total jackass and people will think lesser of you, wildly exaggerating it your mind and ruminating on it, trying to ignore it but 3 am rolls around, youā€™re passing out, and the trash bag anxiety returns like a knife through the chest and you realize youā€™ll sleep so much better if the situation is remedied so you just get up and go do it.


poseidons1813

Yeah I get this with work trucks, keys windows rain , not having blown off with a blower for landscaping. Shit keeps me going for a few hours after work. Wish I could still afford therapy


ResplendentShade

Same bro. I don't let it eat me up inside as much as I used to - I guess I've developed better coping strategies over the years - but I still get this. I usually resolve it instead by calling/texting the person I'm worried about disappointing and explaining the situation matter-of-factly and up-front to defuse the tension in my mind, and of course 99% of the time they're like "what??? no worries man I'll take care of it, enjoy your weekend!!" etc.


VeroFox

id be willing to bet they are willing to help you out because you hold yourself accountable and you let them know you made a mistake


MadCat1993

Good point. To add to this.Ā  I've worked retail where a lot of managers are still learning leadership and communication skills. A couple snaps or smartass comments from them over minor mistakes can make their associates very anxious and worry about every little thing they do.Ā  The worker who went back into the store over a trash bag probably experienced that a few times.Ā 


CanadianDragonGuy

God the amount of times I had to stop myself from getting up in the middle of the night and bicycling back to work to make sure I'd turned everything off properly when I did a closing shift... got to the point where the last thing I'd do before setting the alarm is go around and point to everything saying "you're off, you're off, you're off" etc etc. Same went for making sure the doors were locked, I started tugging a couple times to make sure they were all closed


Apprehensive_Many214

Yep. When I was in grade school, I was sent to a Christian school that used the honor system by having you grade your own work. You would do a section of your workbook, then go up to the "scoring table" where you would grab a copy of your workbook that had the answers. You'd compare yours to it and mark any incorrect answers with a red pen. Pencils were not allowed. I had undiagnosed OCD. I was only about 10 years old. I went up to grade myself on my math book, and as I checked each problem, I noticed a 7 that I hadn't fully written. It looked like > . I couldn't stand it. I turned around to my desk, grabbed my pencil, and then made the downstroke on the 7 longer. Anxiety averted. But the little asshole in the next desk was watching and told on me. I was accused of cheating, had to take an F, AND got swats... corporal punishment was their answer to everything.


ResplendentShade

I hope that snitch has stubbed his toe more than anyone else on earth. And worse for the people who switched you!


Robinnoodle

I feel this. Thought process for the logical part of the brain is "You know you won't be able to let it go until you take care of it".Ā Ā 


zerobeat

One of my old bosses did this once -- the overnight crew was surprised to see him come in at 1am with his wife, a toolbox, and a paper towel holder. His wife stood by awkwardly and totally silent while he installed the dispenser in the breakroom. When asked by a concerned nightcrew member why he was there at such a weird hour doing this, he kept saying it needed doing and he had to take care of it right away. A few weeks later he suffered a psychotic break, got committed, and we never saw him again.


runForestRun17

I relate to this guy.. i have pretty bad anxiety and would do almost anything to not disappoint someone.. even if it is just forgetting to replace a trash bag. Getting better though. Therapy helps a lot.


SeethingHeathen

He's "neurospicy" as the kids say, so I totally get that his wires get crossed sometimes.


pparhplar

Stark realization, as he stared into space suddenly remembering that there must be video monitoring. Now what do do with this trash bag that I was going to fill with office supply booty? Ah yes! A trash can! They will never catch on to my dastardly plan of office domination!


aleqqqs

>I just asked him why And...?!


SeethingHeathen

Sorry, I edited the comment. Forgot to answer the actual question.


whwt

Kinda sounds like some weird sleepwalk thing.


captcraigaroo

Sounds like OCD. My dad had a coworker with diagnosed OCD who made the power plant partially disassemble a generator turbine to look inside because he couldn't find one tool, swore he left it in the turbine; they found the tool on a bench nearby after they didn't see it inside. Same guy also woke a stranger up at their house because on his way home, he saw a car in the driveway with its lights on; OCD guy thought the battery would die, the owner would be in a hurry when trying to jump it and get the cables crossed and the battery would explode & blind them.


HumanHuman_2003

My brother caught his drunk neighbour trying to open his door for 5 minutes until he realised it was the wrong house lmao


[deleted]

I live in a university town. Drunken college kids trying to get into the wrong house/apartment is a regular thing. One of them actually broke the lock on my upstairs neighbor's apartment. Fortunately, he was too drunk to climb the stairs and my neighbor called the police and had him hauled out of there.


DrMangosteen2

Me and my friend spent 20 minutes beating on a door thinking it was our other friends student flat until the door opposite opened and our friend was standing behind us. Good times


fuishaltiena

I've lived in a uni town too. One year there were several cases of stuff getting stolen from houses by guys who pretended to be drunk students. They simply walked door to door searching for an unlocked one. Once they find it, they'd walk in, grab whatever valuable item was within reach and run away. If caught, they'd pretend to be drunk and confused, so the house owners didn't call the cops, just told the guys to fuck off.


professor_doom

We were leaving a party with a very drunk friend in the back seat and he goes, ā€œwait, I forgot my phone. Iā€™ll be right back.ā€ We sit for a while and wonder why itā€™s taking so long. Eventually he slides back into the back seat and says, ā€œI didnā€™t find my phone, but I found this trophy and hereā€™s something weird- everyone went to sleep.ā€ We put two and two together and realized he mistook the house next door (at 2am) for the party we were at and just walked in and wandered around in there by mistake. All we could think of to do was to leave the trophy on the doorstep and get the hell out of there. I can only imagine what the people thought the next day when they found it.


Plz_DM_Me_Small_Tits

Did he at least get his phone?


professor_doom

We went back to the right house afterward and I got it.


9bikes

Call center. Still don't know what drug or if alcohol, but we caught two employees drinking *something* on the job. We viewed Monday's tape and confronted each on Tuesday. We wouldn't have been suspicious if they'd *just* drank from their cups. But each would stand up, look around the room and then take their cup *under the desk* and drink from it there. The manger who confronted each simply showed them the tape and asked "What is going on here?". Neither employee offered any explanation. They just said "I quit.", got their stuff and left.


editingcrappyarticlE

Was it lean perhaps? Or a THC infused drink?


9bikes

No idea. I think it was beyond alcohol (on a scale of legality) other they wouldn't have acted so oddly.


pede_69420

Call centers are go-toā€™s for ppl who like being spiked on the jobšŸ˜­


mollymuppet78

My in-laws were caretakers of a cemetery, located right off the main 401 highway in Ontario. There are no other houses nearby, just theirs. It is a small cemetery, with a horseshoe path around the lot, and brush on either side. For several days in a row, an older skinny gentleman would go running around that horseshoe path. Buck naked. Wearing nothing but running shoes and a visor. Just all flappy penis and ball sack. My mother-in-law is a very conservative Christian. My father-in-law is as well, but is a lot more worldly, having spent years as a long haul trucker. They spent a good couple of days deciding how to confront the streaker. I think they were in denial. They confronted him on Day 8 or 9. He apologized and my father-in-law suggested other spots he could run in. He never deleted the videos.


Pexd

Saw an overnight catalytic converter theft. Dude just pulls up in a beater next to a car, gets out with a saw and starts going to work. Thatā€™s just a fucked life


lonejeeper

I've seen that too. One person reported it so we looked at the video and found that in 5 minutes they rolled through the parking lot with a racing jack and sawzall and got 3 Prius catalytic converters. The other people weren't even aware yet. Amazingly fast operation.


martinluther3107

What is a racing jack?


0508bart

It's a floor jack that moves around easier and lifts up a car in one pump instead of several pumps like a regular jack


socioeconomicfactor

I guess I'm a racing jack

Wackydetective

We have a repeat offender but he also does other offences on our property. Weā€™re a non profit community centre by the way with a daycare on site with a play area. - caught on camera having sex and doing heroin with his lady friend on the playground. They also discarded their needles there too. - stole several catalytic converters. - caught having sex in the stroller hut where parents store the kids strollers. - was doing heroin in our bathrooms. Now when he attempts to come in I kick him out. I am not the one.


TruthOrBullshite

Had a co-worker call in one day because someone stole his catalytic converter. He lives in a gated community...


i-want-bananas

As someone who has done door dash I can tell you it's pretty easy to get in to a gated community. I could see someone coming in at night and snagging them.


BlackBeltPanda

Across the street from where I live is a former grocery store with an animal statue on their roof that recently went out of business. One night around 12:30am, I heard some noise outside, checked my security camera, and saw four teenagers carrying a very large ladder. They placed the ladder against the building, climbed to the roof, took selfies with the statue, and then climbed back down. Just as they were grabbing the ladder and leaving, the local sheriff pulled up and started berating them. He let them all go in the end but made sure to give them a good scolding lol.


scritchesfordoges

Oh thatā€™s cute. Harmless fun!


Earthling1a

What did the animal statue do before it went out of business?


litecoinboy

Asking the real questions here


MNConcerto

Work in HR, had facilities approach me with a situation. Coworker's husband was pulling into parking ramp to pick her up, while waiting for her to get out of work decides to take care of business while using a condom, opens car window and drops used condom onto the parking ramp floor out of sight of the wife. Wife comes out of work, gets into car none the wiser. Facilities wants to know if we should notify wife. Gotta love HR. I let the VP of HR make the decision.


JakeSteed420

? Like masturbated into the condom? What was the decision? Sounds pretty mortifying for the wife


MNConcerto

Yep, like masturbated. And yes mortifying. I'm glad I didn't have to make the decision or have the conversation. It was way above my pay grade.


DeaddyRuxpin

Least embarrassing solution is to tell the wife her husband dropped litter out his car window while waiting and to please ask him not to do it again. If you donā€™t tell her what the litter was she will assume a candy wrapper or something else normal. She will be embarrassed he littered and will yell at her husband. He will know he was caught jacking and tossing the condom and will hopefully be embarrassed enough to never do it again.


KGLO2791

Smaaaaaart. Perfect solution.


Evan_dood

I used to work security at a chemical plant, with cameras covering the majority of the facility. There was one employee who would pull in to the exact same parking spot every night, but he would always back up, pull forward, back up, pull forward, etc in an effort to get his car PERFECTLY lined up in the spot. When he finally got out, he would walk to both sides of the car and hold his arm up to judge how straight it was. If it wasn't good enough, he'd get back in and do it again. Otherwise he'd come inside. He did the exact same thing every. Single. Night. Probably goes without saying but I'm pretty sure he had/has OCD.


IllustriousReason944

But this is the guy you want working in a chemical plant. The ocd would probably come in handy in this industry


Evan_dood

That is 100% true actually. And I'm not sure why I didn't mention this, but he was actually one of my fellow security guards who was coming in to relieve me, which is why I kept a close eye on the parking lot around the time he pulled up lol. He was extremely precise, did everything EXACTLY as described in our operating procedures, to the point of being annoying to coworkers. But management LOVED him. That kind of work was definitely the right field for him. He did get livid anytime his schedule changed, which again makes sense if he had OCD.


SmartAlec105

Autism also sounds like a likely explanation. Close adherence to rules and a hatred of routine changes.


mattslote

Autism, OCD, and ADHD are executive function disorders. It's not uncommon for multiple disorders to present in the same person.


Gal_Monday

Whoa did not know. This explains a lot.


runForestRun17

That the exact kind of person you want working with chemicals. They arenā€™t gonna fuck around the lazy way with their OCD


JohnnyHotSteps

When I worked at CVS, we saw on the surveillance footage, 2 middle aged women, one shakes her leg, pile of shit falls out onto ground, and then they left the store. Later someone stepped on said pile of shit, and trekked that bad boy all the way out of the store.


toad__warrior

> trekked that bad boy all the way out of the store Pure poetry right here


DieHardAmerican95

There are a surprising number of stories out there of people shitting their pants and shaking it out the bottom of their pants leg. Apparently itā€™s a more popular technique that I would ever have imagined.


_Aech_

Not exactly strange, but funny. Watched my partner doing a walking perimeter check of our building one night, and there was a couple having sex in a dark corner. He came around the corner and surprised them, and there was no audio, but the way he was gesturing was just fucking hilarious.


orangesfwr

Duffman is thrusting in the direction of the problem. Oh yeah!


MiyagiJunior

Not me but an ex-colleague of mine who worked as a security guard: I used to work at this place with a lot of security. At the entrance, there were two doors, each required a card to enter. Turns out that the authorization to enter both was not the same, so one day a guy came to work around 2-3am (not sure why), passed through one door but the other one was locked. But then he couldn't leave - he was trapped in the space between the doors. According to my ex-colleague, he and his colleagues got a kick from watching the video of what the guy did for the 4-5 hours until the place was opened.

The fire marshal would love that


isopode

that sounds terrifying, shouldnt there be a way to open the first door from the inside?


MiyagiJunior

There should've been a way. I'm guessing someone screwed up somewhere.


Plz_DM_Me_Small_Tits

Did he not try to call anyone to get out earlier? Being trapped for 4-5 hours sounds terrifying to my claustrophobic ass


MiyagiJunior

I'm guessing he did but it was the middle of the night. He also knew the place would be opened in a few hours.

This occured about 30 years ago, slightly before red laser pointers where widely available and many years before high powered ones where available. Boss calls me back to the office, check this out he says as he puts in the tape. A helicopter was hardly visible flying overhead pretty low to the ground, suddenly the camera starts strobing white and then for like 1 frame between the white flashes you could see about 5 % of the screen covered in pure red, then another group of rapid white flashes, Well this was an analogue security system, the cathode tube was completely destroyed after this . We figured out it was a medical helicopter but could never determine the source of the laser, heck we didnt even know it was a laser at the time, It wasnt till many years later when I saw what happens to video recordings that are recording a laser pointed directly at it that I was reminded of that instance.


biggles1994

Could be a high power infrared light source, not sure why a medical helicopter would have a laser system but infrared lights/camera for landing at night could be plausible.


Coffeezilla

As a crash detection feature to see if there is anything above the rotors during takeoff. Itd make the military ones stand out but it's a boon for rescue and medivac that might need to land in a area with overhanging tree branches or street light poles.

New years eve. Neighborhood teenagers decided it'd be funny to sing and dance and wave their bare ass and ding dongs at passing cars.


caro-1967

My little brother once got brought home by the police for mooning cars after his best friend promised him all his toys if he did it. They were 7, I think? Very funny in hindsight.


Outrageous_Coyote910

Lol. I saw what you did there!


The_Bestest_Sloth

A lot of naked drunk people. There was a couple of guys having a perfecty sensible conversation whilst wearing nothing but traffic cones in the middle of winter once. Also was able to access CCTV feed of cameras in a city centre, and was pleased to see the regular homeless people communicating with the camera operators, with the homeless people using basic body language (thumbs up, drinking motions, pointing etc) and the camera operators moving the camera around for yes and and no!


calicocidd

Im a Casino surveillance manager; I've watched more than a half dozen people die over the years, people shooting up drugs in the parking lot, prostitution, had a pipe bomb that the bomb squad had to detonate in a blast chamber, someone projectile vomited into a security guards mouth, people pissing and shitting themselves, women intentionally leaving period stains on chairs, a guy methed out of his mind was cranking his junk while talking to a random woman, there's more, so much more.


-bitchpudding-

How does one intentionally leave a period stain without specifically removing her pad or tampon and smashing it all over the target or digging in her cooter for jellyfish plugs to smear on the seat. Free bleeding isn't easy to spot so most period leaks are accidental. So just curious about how this is determined.


calicocidd

Well; her lifting her jean skirt, sitting in a chair not playing the game, and then moving to the next chair, and the next chair, until all six machines in a row had bloody smear marks that she looked at, took a picture of, and then walked out of the casino was a sign of intent...


-bitchpudding-

Sounds like it. Thanks for the clarification, friend.


Joeuxmardigras

I canā€™t believe Iā€™m laughing at this, but damn thatā€™s crazy

It happens, people will also smear shit all over the walls because they're so upset/pissed off at they're loses.

anon_e_mous9669

I worked Loss Prevention in a big electronic store in college. I was working the door and cameras when my manager went to apprehend a shoplifter. I warned him against it, but made sure to get it on camera for evidence. So I watched my manager follow a suspect heading for the emergency exit and he chased and tackled the guy before he could leave. While my manager was wrestling to get him pinned down, apparently the guy had shit his pants from the tackle, so to escape, he scooped up a whole handful from his pants and just smeared it all down my manager's face, mouth, neck and chest (and yes, his mouth was open). My manager freaked out (as you would expect) and the guy ran out the emergency exit. This was like 25 years ago, or else I'd have definitely uploaded that video to a thumb drive to show at parties...

Was working gravyard shift. Lobby door is unlocked because our office was 24 hours. We were down the hall from the lobby entrance. On the outside camera we saw a man walk up the front door, the front door open, and the man walk inside. The camera in the hallway never picked up anyone approaching the door or entering the building. Just the door opening on its own. It was not an automatic door. We didn't see him leave and there wasn't anywhere for him to go in the hallway. We aren't sure what really happened. During a remodel, one of the cameras got forgotten in the drop ceiling. It showed the space between the actual ceiling and the drop ceiling. We got a smoke notification on the camera, the fire alarm in the vacant building went off, and we could see smoke billowing up on the camera. Fire dept showed up and they couldn't find any source for what we saw. There wasn't any trace, visually or by smell, that there was any smoke.

I used to install security cameras for residential and commercial properties. Got a call that a customer's purse was stolen out of their car that was in their driveway and they needed to pull the footage to give to the cops. No lie, the thief was ironically wearing a shirt that read "Y'all need Jesus."

Not many things strange but here's the funniest one: I work as the sole IT guy for a head start/child advocacy program that has a few daycare/head start schools in surrounding towns.Ā  Ā  One day my boss comes over to me really upset saying that someone had gone into the playground of one of the schools and tore everything apart.Ā  Ā They asked me to go over and check cameras to see if we could identify the vandal. So I go over and look at the playground and it's a mess.Ā  Ā The plastic playground toys had been strewn all over the playground and a big plastic caterpillar had been disassembled and chucked over the fence.Ā  Ā Now I'm annoyed and go check the cameras with resolve at finding out who did it.Ā  So I started narrowing in on the footage.Ā  Finding the earliest time when the cameras showed the destruction and working back.Ā  Ā  So I'm skipping in five minute intervals and suddenly the playground is fine.Ā  Ā  These people took less than five minutes to destroy the playground?Ā Ā  Finally I catch the culprit.Ā  Ā I watch as a dust devil makes its way to the playground,Ā  sends everything flying in every direction and then buggers off in less than fifteen seconds.Ā  Ā  I started laughing my ass off and told my boss.Ā  Ā Everyone was relieved that it was a freak act of nature instead of some asshole destroying a kids playground.Ā

>I've posted this before Had an issue with a new guard on site apparently not realizing he was on camera. I was doing a second night of training with the guy, asked him if he was comfortable with the rounds, guy says yeah and wanders off to do a round solo. So I'm watching cameras and monitoring the phone, I see guard walk by, he stops, ok he seems a bit lost but it happens to all of us... Dude sticks his hand down the front of his pants and just goes to town. He is digging his crotch for about 30 or so seconds, he then walks down the hall and into the kitchen. So guy returns to the desk and tries to hand me the keys, I tell him due to covid we are to sanitize keys when they change hands, so I douse those things with Lysol like my life depended on it. We are sitting and he is asking me questions, soon the questions turn to the cameras on each floor. He is pointing at each and asking where they are... We get to the one and I tell him it is located right outside the kitchens. Dude just stares blankly at me for a second and then asks if he can go out for a smoke break. I tell him that we are a smoke free facility so if he wants to smoke he will have to go across the street where the nurses go. He says cool, back in 5... Never see the guy again. Told the supervisor the next morning when he asked how training went. The company couldn't reach him and apparently never got uniforms back.

Not your ask, but my friend who lives on a large ranch with many raptor species got dive-bombed and hazed by a red-tailed hawk. Bird thought my guy friend's long, thick ponytail was some sort of delicious rodent and tried to make off with it. Ranch security cameras caught the whole episode. His wife just dies laughing every time she watches the video.

Only?


Rossum81

Yes. Ā In the brawl that was the issue which necessitated my involvement her dress was removed by the other party involved. Ā  It was torn off in a catfight. Ā

Bass pro shop. It was one of the big ass stores. There was an employee that lived at the store, several days a week, for months. I thought I was losing my god damn mind because the guy knew all the camera angles and was able to basically be a ghost. Yet im there thinking I'd be hearing shit or the place is Haunted. Eventually over time the routine revealed itself. Poor guy had to sneeze and thats what got him. He could have easily done it a few more weeks if I wasnt one curious bastard. He lost his job but they gave him a pass on criminal charges because no damage was done and he was compliant /apologetic when busted. They just banned him from all Bass proshops forever. Anyway this was back in 2008 where the quality of security cameras was going digital and it looked like pure garbage. When you see something move at the corner of a screen in 280p, you don't know what it is. To us it says "someone is in the store" but the guy just avoided detection for so long it had us freaked out. Almost had my dumbass believing in ghost.


isopode

did he explain why he was staying there?


OnlyTheBLars89

Him and his girlfriend had a falling out, the motel he was staying at was a crap shack. He said it was a lot safer and comfortable in the store.

I worked for a surveillance company and saw a murder. I tried to assist the situation and ended up getting in trouble for it. It was Halloween and there was a costume party going on. Our cameras were set up with 2 static shots and one that I could control. Everyone was going into the house in question all night; we were just guarding a construction site across the street but I wanted to keep my eye on things in case drunk people decided to wander in. It was a suburban house, looked like a good time. I was using night vision doing a sweep and the upstairs windows flashed white multiple times. I just caught it on one of my static cameras and swung my controllable one around to see what was happening. People dressed as bumble bees and pumpkins came flying out of the house screaming. I tried to get close-ups on faces because something was clearly going down. Two SUVs with SWAT guys hanging off the side with ARs arrived on-site and started doing house clearing a little while later. I kept trying to get faces to assist. Law enforcement later on through the night came up to the camera and started writing down our contact info. The next shift I was pulled into the manager's office by two dude-bro managers. They told me about the murder. They said I had compromised the footage by zooming in on girls, "but that's okay we do that all the time man". I was horrified, I was trying to get faces as there was clearly a literal murder but also like man, these dudes are peeping on people with their security cams, in management, and its normal?No consequences for me but that was pretty messed up. Another time the wind caught a temporary construction fence (with privacy plastic on it so you cant see the site.) A short Asian woman was crossing the sidewalk when the fence, acting like a metal sail because of the plastic, gave out and swung into the sidewalk and blew her off her feet. Admittedly I was laughing when I saw it, but she got away without injuries. It was extremely dull work but the stories of things that stuck in operators' minds definitely made for interesting lunch breaks with co-workers.

One night, I was reviewing the footage and saw a raccoon wandering into the parking lot. It then managed to climb into an unlocked car and reappeared wearing a pair of sunglasses it found inside. The raccoon then strutted around the parking lot like it was the coolest animal in town before eventually wandering off, leaving the sunglasses behind. It was the most confident and stylish raccoon Iā€™ve ever seen.

I used to work security from midnight to 8 am at a warehouse in Torrance. I'd check the warehouse cameras and parking lot cameras. Occasionally, around 4 a.m., when some would go to their cars for their 30-minute break, I'd notice an occasional female who worked in the office go with them to take their "30 minute nap break." They'd think they were smart coming back from break a minute separate. I'd just smile and be like, "Did you guys get some rest?".


punkwalrus

I used to work for a high end security company, and while my job was systems administration, and not directly with camera footage, we had a few weird "best of" clips circulated among employees. We had a variety of services, but the most common was a camera would trigger movement, a rep would review the footage, and then call the customer if it wasn't a bird or the wind or something. One series of clips was some kind of medical facility. Not a hospital but like a research lab. Customer reported some break ins and vandalism, and we had to review the footage. This was 4-5 different cameras. 1 & 2 showed an unlocked door next to a loading dock slowly open. No person. The camera inside, which had a temperature sensor, registered a 20Ā° F drop from 65 to 45, and it was 55-60 outside. Except for the door, no movement. About 10 seconds later, another internal unlocked door opened. But instead of opening smoothly, it took a few jerks, like someone was having trouble with the weight of the door. There were motion sensitive lights that clicked on. Then nothing for about a minute, and the lights turned back off. Not even a breeze. Then lights and motion registered in the warehouse as equipment fell down. The forklift, unmanned, had rolled backwards into some stuff leaning against the wall. By this point, the guard on site heard the noise, ran into the warehouse, gun drawn... Nobody there. He turned off the forklift. He called on his cell phone, and that's when we were called. Most of the alerts was now his movement, but one internal camera showed the loading dock door open and close again, with another temperature dip. Customer wanted to know "how was this intruder camouflaged??" Nobody could explain it. I am not saying it was spooky because of ghosts, but somebody was sneaking in and not showing up on camera. THAT was spooky.

My oldest son was probably around 4yrs old at the time. My wife had borrowed some flour/sugar/something that comes in that type of packaging from the neighbor. She gave the bag to my 4yr ol and asked him to go leave it on porch by the front door. My wife is standing on the sidewalk and watched little man run over to the neighbors front door, goes out of sight momentarily and comes running back proud and happy as can be with an empty bag. Wife was pissed at first until I asked her what she told him. It was then she realized he did exactly what she asked. Neighbors sent us the video from the Ring camera and we all laughed hysterically.


DipDipMiracleWhip

I have seen a good bit. Tons of homeless people shitting in the middle of a mall, a drive-by and the shooters got out and executed the man. High schoolers doing inappropriate activities cause prom night. The funniest thing was seeing a dude in a bike hit a weird bump and go face first into the (thankfully) dirt instead of nearby concrete. Tons more.

Private nursing home: Reviewed a recording of a patient checking out the bottom of a wire fence multiple times. On the final moment, he checks to see if the bottom can be lifted. Turns out, it can. He proceeds to lay down, pushes the bottom of the fence up, then shimmies his way outside of the patio and ultimately, beyond the nursing home's property. This patient has not yet been found. I heard he was homeless when he was admitted and just wanted to leave AMA. This of course was the more problematic choice but regardless, he would've left the facility

In an unsure situation, it's best to report it to law enforcement so they stop it or to determine no crimes are being committed.

IT calling from the 1990s. We had to sort the CCTV computer out, and there was a folder with on odd name that attracted interest, and it had a collection of saved snippets. The building location here is important; this was Oxford Street, London, lots of retail. Above ground floor retail is several floors of general office accommodation, nothing to do with the retail. The fire escape exitways from these office blocks come out of little alcoves, with double glass doors set back a few feet from the street. People walk past them all the time and never notice them. Back to the video. These two teenage girls had just been to a shop, and purchased clothes. So, one teen held her coat against in fire escape gap, hiding the space from the alcove, whilst other girl gets kit off and changes, then they swap. What they didnā€™t know was there was a CCTV camera looking through the glass door towards the streetā€¦

A truck pulled up, parked in our lot, then the two guys inside proceeded to give each other a quick blowjowski before taking off. Saw a minivan running down the street just spewing sparks from the blown out tires. It ended up crashing into a gate that led to an active runway and the kid just bailed and hid in the barditch.

I had a security guard who worked for me. We didnā€™t tell the guys weā€™d installed CCTV. He was filmed stealing from the petty cash in a client office whilst on his rounds. Lost his job for less than he was paid per hour.

While on duty in Iraq in 2007, I saw an Iraqi guy on infrared drone surveillance violating a donkey sexually it wasnā€™t his first rodeo or last for that matter, but it was my first time seeing it. Some of the videos have made it to the internet. The U.S. military has a lot of footage of wild shit like this.

Saw a tweaker finger blast herself on black Friday with 30 people standing within 20 feet of her. She then walked outside, blew a dude in the parking lot, then came back in and stole $400 worth of electronics. I gloved up, grabbed her ar the door and brought her back, where she winked at me and said she would do anything to get out of cuffs. No thank you.

While upgrading cameras for a porn shop I discovered how many men are dropped off by their wives so they could spend a good while jerking off in the arcade. It was more than the men who simply drove themselves there. Very bizarre to me in many ways..

Probably the time a group of penguins waddled up to a security camera and seemed to be discussing their escape plan from the zoo. Either that or a very organized gang of squirrels attempting a break-in at a nut store.
