My friend worked in the Croydon jobcentre+ for quite a long time.

Highlights included:
  • A man that tried to change his name to Jesus Christ Jehova Son of God
  • A man in a wheelchair coming in and threatening staff with an axe
  • A man on incapacity benefit (with a 'bad back') leaping up onto the desk and kicking things around when told he should start looking for a job
  • A body being found in the alley down the side
  • Receiving a letter smeared in excrement
  • People of questionable mental stability writing incredibly weird letters that made no sense whatsoever
  • Someone trying to hang themselves by tying the blind cord around their neck and jumping off a desk. The blinds were reipped out the window frame and they landed on the floor in an embarassing heap. And didn't die. Or even really get hurt much.
  • Getting sacked and going to prison. Oooops
