158: Stories from work

What Was That Like - a storytelling podcast with amazing stories from real people

I’m Scott, the host of What Was That Like. And this is a bonus episode.

Normally, on this podcast you would hear someone talking about the time they witnessed a murder, or when they escaped a cult, or when they were swimming and they lost their leg to a shark attack. Those are all actual past episodes, and there are currently over 150 of them to binge.

But we’re doing something a little different in this episode.

You’ve heard me talk about the private Facebook group. That’s where we discuss each new episode, as well as past episodes, but we talk about a LOT of other things in there. Every Tuesday I post a new question – something that makes you think. And with almost 6000 people in that group, we get a lot of answers. The discussions we have in there are amazing. You can join for free at WhatWasThatLike.com/facebook.

Well, not too long ago, I posted this question: What’s something that happened at work that you’ll never forget?

And wow, did the work stories come pouring in. Turns out, a lot of weird stuff happens on the job! So I asked some of the people who answered that question to record their answer and send it to me. What you’re about to hear are those work stories.

And a content warning about the first story – it involves a dog who has a seizure and doesn’t survive. I put that one at the beginning, so when you hear that story start, you can fast forward about 3 minutes to the start of the next story if you want to.

So I hope you enjoy listening in on what happened at work.
