Animal blood
I used to work on the meat counter in tesco, it was an ok job and wasn't half as mind numbing as the checkouts. If anyone else had a similar job then like me they would hate it when the wee old grannies used to ask for lambs liver.

The packet of liver was always filled with excess blood, deep dark smelled kinda funny blood. You had to be careful otherwise it would spill over your chopping counter.

One of these grannies asked for liver, i hadn't cut any so i wandered through to the large walk in fridge to get some. We always kept the liver on the top shelf and as i reach up in to the basket to get a packet i didn't realise it was burst and with no time to react i very quickly looked like the famous Carrie at the end of the movie. It was in my eyes, hair even down my work shirt. I ran past a few horrified co-workers to the staff toilets where i almost threw up.

I gave up working on the meat counter not long after that to work in a cinema. Thankfully they never showed carrie.
