This is a question Lurid Work Stories

"I know a railwayman of 40-odd years' service," says Juan Quar, "and he tells me a new gruesome yarn each time we meet. Last week's was of checking the time on the wristwatch of a severed arm he'd just collected after a track fatality."

Tell us the horrible stories you tease the new hires with, or that you've been told.
NB By definition, these are probably all made up. Roll with it

Workplace infidelity
I was a lowly worker at a Medical Equip' Manufacturer and as such never rose to the giddy heights of gossip material. That was reserved for the Rebreathing Apparatus team and Inspection. There were four of them that would go out for lunches and evening shenanegins, two from the shop floor and two girls from the offices. I say girls & boys but these were all married. Before long they were having a flat-out affair, which wasn't obvious by any means but the secret came out. All fairly easy to cover up and this went on for a few months with all able to shroud any 'involvement' to their respective spouse. Until... the four of them went out for an evening of shared debauchery and... had a major car accident! All needing hospital treatment, being bandaged and bruised and a secondary torture - having to somehow evade any connection between themselves all being in the same car to their beloved. Close marital friends were absent for a while. Oh how we laughed.

I'm fascinated by the idea that somebody's life could be so dull that this tale qualifies as lurid.

Your imdb-fu

Cause I have no fucking idea what you're on about.

Spooks or Torchwood?

A Life more ordinary
Actually I was not going to post any story but someone else did about the same subject & I thought why not. Other than this I have no lurid work tales.
'Rebreathing Apparatus' for hospital ventilators, very expensive.
