Baggage handler. If you check a skateboard by just slapping a sticker on it it will get ridden.

(#2) Georgia Coroners Might Not Care Who You Kill
From Redditor /u/Fender088:
Barely anyone in the state of Georgia gets an autopsy. If you wanted to kill someone over the age of 40, all you would really need to do is make sure that they had some kind of previous medical history and the body was found outside of a metropolitan area. The coroners here are only required to have a high school diploma. Some states are worse, most better.

(#3) Not Every Writer Actually Writes
From Redditor /u/Secretlysidhe:
Many of the books you read - especially romance - aren't written by the person whose name is on the cover.
Most romance books are ghostwritten and bought by someone else (often a man, I've found) and published under a female's name with a fake bio.
How do I know this?
I'm a ghostwriter.

(#4) Air Traffic Controllers Are Straight Up Overworked
From Redditor /u/Ry_ballz:
Air traffic controllers (at least in the US) are almost all clinically fatigued. The FAA knows this and the union knows this, but it's in their interests to keep it quiet.
It's not uncommon for US controllers to have a swing shift (1 pm - 9 pm) and then come back at 6 am - 2pm (nine hours between shifts) and then later go back again that night for an overnight starting at 10 pm. That's 24 hours of work in 41 hours of real time. In a job where you really really want alertness.

From Redditor /u/KeepInMoyndDenny:
Wash your fruit, we find spiders hanging out in grapes and berries all the time, your friendly neighborhood grocery store employee.

(#6) It's Not All Fun And Games For Roller Coasters Engineers
From Redditor /u/GetGreggedOn:
I am a welder for a company that builds roller coasters... Every single weld is inspected and X-rayed for any defect. So I guess this doesn't apply but just so everyone can feel a little bit safer, I figured I'd let you internet people know.

(#7) Your Pharmacist Has Your Back Even When The Doctor Doesn't
From Redditor /u/FortuitousExplosion:
I'm a doctor. When I'm on a 28-hour call I make lots of mistakes, and the nurses and pharmacists have kept you alive despite my best efforts. I'm sorry.

(#8) Sweepstakes Are Literally A Popularity Contest
From Redditor /u/fusionman51:
If you enter a sweepstakes or contest, some sites will use your friends list to decide how popular/cool you are and it ups your possibility to win.

(#9) Carnival Workers Put In The Fix
From Redditor /u/Fractal5150:
It is hard to pop a balloon with a dart at a carnival to win a prize. The balloon is under-inflated and the tip of the dart is dull... bounces off.
It's hard to get a basketball into the hoop at the carnival to win a prize. The ball is super inflated so it is hard and easily bounces. The hoop is smaller than a regulation hoop. Got to shoot high and let it come down straight through the hoop.
The largest stuffed animal you could possibly win at a carnival costs approximately seven-10 dollars. You will spend over 100 dollars working your way up to the big prize.

(#10) The Darker Side Of Dildos
From Redditor /u/reaperteddy:
Most cheap sex toys are made out of unstable materials (TPE, TPR) that may leech chemicals into your body and may over time start to melt, especially if stored with other toys. These materials can also be porous and a perfect home for bacteria, so black spots might grow on your dildo.

(#11) Teachers Know All Of Your Secrets
From Redditor /u/Ohmannothankyou:
Teacher here: I hide YOUR secrets. If your kids know it, I know it. Children are tactless and impulsive and they tell me all about your reproductive habits, financial difficulties, domestic problems, and Tinder dates. I know so much about moms and dads that I wish I could erase from my brain forever.
But I will never tell! You're welcome!

(#12) Jewelers Secure Your Diamonds Forever... With Saliva
From Redditor /u/tweedledoop666:
Jeweler here - we use spit to set diamonds. Not as an actual adhesive, but to pick up and move the diamond into the setting. It sounds gross, but trying to move a small diamond with a pair of tweezers often results in the diamond flying across the room and into the bottomless pit that is a jewelry shop floor. So, yea - we lick and stick. Don't worry, there's a vigorous cleaning process at the end!

(#13) There's A Reason Those Customer Service Calls Never Seem To Work
From Redditor /u/Doctor_Channard:
A certain telephone company with a blue globe logo doesn't actually have a billing department. You are always routed to Sales. The job is not to fix your billing problem, it's to upsell you. If you have a legit billing problem, you will be transferred because the rep doesn't want to deal with anyone that isn't a sale. Every time you're transferred, it's actually to the same department, just a different sales rep. Billing managers are really just Sales Managers.

(#14) Hotel Rooms Are Up For Negotiation With Clerks
From a deleted user:
After working in the travel industry I can tell you that hotel room rates are often not fixed prices. If guests come to the front desk and ask the price we generally start at the high end. Most people accept this as fact and pay up. However, if a customer is hesitant or threatens to walk out we can sometimes drop the price to keep them there. Often there is a bottom line price set by the owners- we can't go any lower than that or we lose money.

(#15) Valets Might Take Your Drugs
From Redditor /u/PoonPonder:
Valet driver here, don't leave your drugs in the car. A kid took a pound out of a customers car a few years back and the dude came back FLIPPIN out screaming at the manager. When the manager finally asked what was stolen and he told him weed, my manager just said, "Oh. Well you can file a police report then."
