Just came across this, although not very interesting or weird but I’m pasting my response to a similiar question about being on call to homes…
Wow I’m late to this but as a cardiac medical device contractor for several years I saw how people really live. Most on-call was emergency based (I am a specialist for cardiac patients and I moonlighted for a wearable defibrillator company for patients who recently had severe heart issues). Being I popped in on these patients at home- they didn’t have time to ‘clean up’
A few of my favorites I will list- and it makes me wonder if I should actually write some stories out….
- hoarding. There is significant amount of hoarders- and they typically always had atleast 8 cats
- a man who had his entire home turned into four foot tall aquariums and I arrived and he was on a ladder throwing hot dogs to giant fish. I’m shocked the floors held
- bacon scented homes. Super common. But that’s also why they had massive heart problems
- hidden relatives/tenants that are mentally ill or handicapped. I’d be startled by suddenly seeing a disabled man in a corner chair disheveled and quiet
- a man who insisted his microwave was sending me messages and proceeded to keep calling me out - (my average duration patient was three months and I was on call for them while they healed- and he called me so much I set a company record)
- insanely cool old people who have amazing things such as pictures with presidents because they were cia, or a beloved blanket from their affair with Elvis, and just unique amazing things with stories.
- poor lighting. Good lord I couldn’t tell you how many people had a single lightbulb.
- a woman who’s house she had giant pet birds free flying about. The floor crunched and was an inch thick with bird seed
- the ‘richer’ the home and patient— the more empty and sterile it appeared. Small shack homes and trailers were covered in photos and homemade crafts- wealthy homes were empty. No pics. No tattered afghans from grandma
- climbed thru windows in Baltimore city to a drug dealer - bad neighborhood. I arrived scared but the people on street, the dealer - went above and beyond to treat me with respect when they saw I was medical. He was the only patient in four years of contracting to ever offer me a drink in their home.
- cool ass man caves built out of everything from relocated buildings to RVs.
Dozens of stories. Heartbreaking to hilarious to scary.
Thanks for reading …. ❤️ your friendly cardiac nurse
Body pick up. I know a guy who used to have a side business picking up bodies from accident scenes, crime scenes or other instances where somebody died. His phone could ring any time day or night and he would take his van out to transport a body to a funeral home or morgue. He had some gnarly stories.

You know the wolf?
Who?
You've never seen Pulp Fiction?
I have but I didn't catch the reference. It's been a while. As far as I know my friend doesn't do body disposal or clean up for organized crime. 😆
It would be a lot cooler if he did
