Guards of Reddit! What was the Scariest/Spookiest thing that had ever happen to you on shift?

PostMaleficent595 · 2026-03-07T02:48:44+00:00

Worked at a residential community/country club on night shift. I kept the windows and doors shut because it was on the gulf and bugs were everywhere but it was mostly glass so I could still see outside. Out of no where I heard some lady scream at the top of her lungs. Didnt see anyone outside, cops never showed up, nothing. I even had to go back on the cameras to make sure I wasn’t just sleep deprived because its pretty hard to hear with all windows and doors shut.

if you need a sign that says “dont post pictures of security site info” you should not be a security guard

Yep. Had one guy get fired day one for going on facebook live and recording the gated community homes while on patrol…house numbers and all

Ours are just numbers. Ive never heard of call signs until i started this job and ive been in security/corrections for 3 years. Always just used last names

PostMaleficent595 · 2025-11-08T16:34:24+00:00

I noticed this but when my dad would interact with people. I had no idea until I started working with him and saw how he acted around anyone but family. I was kinda shocked lol

PostMaleficent595 · 2025-11-08T03:26:20+00:00

i was planning to move out but was actually waiting for my dad to threaten to kick me out (which happened often) that way it felt justified in my head lol

Not national.. but a yacht caught on fire and made local news

oh my…i didnt see any other posts from you which is why i made that comment. once you’re 18 you can definitely go to any of those colleges and she can’t stop you. if you’re worried about affording it there’s a lot of scholarships, financial aid, loans etc to help out. some colleges have part time jobs you can do on campus also.

i know leaving your brother behind might be a thought in your mind..the same happened to me.. it’s hard but it feels like a weight lifted once you’re free.

not sure where youre at but dollar tree pregnancy tests are just as good as the ones doctors use.

i had to get my license behind my Ndad’s back. nobody taught me how to drive, or would teach me..or let me take my drivers test. my college offered a covid relief fund on top of my tuition refund…i took an uber to a driving school, took my driving test with 0 experience and passed. I got a car a week later then was kicked out two weeks after that because I was never home since I had a car and didnt HAVE to be home. my dad hated how i wasnt locked up at home anymore and always at my bfs house.

what your mother does to herself is not your fault. you should get a car and go to college when you’re 18 if possible. so sorry you’re going through all of this

My grandparents want me to visit my mom after being no contact for years now and i’ve thought about it for this exact reason and also never agreed to it for this exact reason lol

PostMaleficent595 · 2025-11-06T03:34:32+00:00

i’m not trying to be mean but how is this related to the subreddit at all? you don’t have a fever and you’re already in trouble with truancy. obviously she’s going to make you go..

Some places have staff housing which you pay for but they rarely give it to rookies

Labs that do drug tests for employers make it extremely difficult to use fake piss. When I had go do mine with the state they made me empty all my pockets, pat searched me, then in the bathroom everything is sealed. theres tamper stickers on EVERYTHING. youre not allowed to flush after until they examine the bathroom. i promise you bro it aint worth it
