7. His Shift Was Supposed to End in Ten Minutes (not Anymore)

Everybody's cup of tea is not eggs. Many people find their flavor or smell unacceptable as well as their texture. And this photo will be their greatest nightmare as well. Imagine having to manage this many eggs and somehow drop them all around the house! A bad day is exactly defined by this. How can you even tidy that? That looks like an unachievable chore.
Apart from wasting food, there is no way you could ever eliminate that egg scent from everything. And everything around, even the crates, is likewise now tainted. The scenario is a real egg-pocalypse, with yolks and whites sloppily and powerfully strewn over what looks to be a warehouse or store floor. As hundreds of eggs met their terrible end, one could practically hear the awful "splat." The underpaid worker, who probably expected to be counting out and on his way home, now has hours of cleaning to do. The work ahead is difficult: not only is the mess to clean, but also handling the unavoidable scent that will remain for days—if not weeks. Apart from the environmental effect of such food waste, this event most likely caused a major financial loss for the company. It's a sobering reminder of how quickly things can go wrong in the job and how a moment's inattention can have effects much beyond one's shift. For years to come, the employee may find herself unintentionally the star of workplace safety videos or the focus of "what not to do" seminars.
