What Is The Worse or Weirdest Thing Happened To You During Field Service?

Excepting the obvious (the Last Call Syndrome), I would say that the worst was when I was hoping that no one would come to the door, and as we were about to leave, someone hollared out the window "I'll be there in a minute". And the call turned out to last about 15 minutes or more.
I would say the Number One worst thing I have seen while out in field circus was at a call I was dragged on. There was this ugly man with a mayonnaise jar with about 5 cm of blood, and every so often, he would spit blood into that jar. That sight was enough to make me want to puke right there on the spot. Since I am not (and was not) an allopathic doctor, that should not have been my problem--anyone that is regularly spitting out blood, and has not just had a tooth pulled, should see an allopathic doctor, since this is potentially a serious immediate problem.
I wonder how many gross calls like that, or even worse, would be waiting for me should (when) I get dragged back into the cancer. At least while I am doing apostasy, I don't have to worry about it, since such images will not show up on this forum.

The worst thing that ever happened was that I actually started Bible studies.

I'd say it was the worst thing for the HH.
Like the bible says, when there are two or more - there I am in your midst.
I was pioneering, working alone, I come to a guy in his yard, he comes to me at the fence, smiles brightly and says "sure I'll take those magazines" and then he says after he has them "so I can toss them away..."
I don't know what happened, but I got mad at that and jumped his fence, chased him down in his yard and while he was on his back, I took the magazines out of his hands...
I said... No you don't buddy, those are MY magazines...
He said something like,"you interrupted me while I was mowing"
then I said "and you lied to me with your smiling face..."
Somehow I'm not sure the WTS would have approved.
