Work (carwash) has been slow during this week due to bad weather, but that didn’t deter one of our regular customers from coming in with his Volvo C70. Usually this guy’s car is immaculate, but today was a different story.

Kinja'd!!!

He came in for “The Whole Thing” wash. That wash includes running it through the wash (obviously), cleaning wheels, tires, vacuuming, windows and wiping down the entire interior. I pulled his car into my lane so I could begin work and everything was going well until I started wiping down the interior and noticed the massive blood stain on his passenger’s seat. Nearly the entire half of the bottom of the seat was covered in blood.

As you all would assume, blood is not something we mess with. If there is any, anywhere in the car, we don’t touch it. It’s a huge health concern. I cleaned everything in this man’s car, besides the blood stain on the seat. After I finished cleaning, I spun my towel on my finger to signify that his car was ready to go. He came out to look things over and immediately questioned me as to why I didn’t clean the “spot” off the passenger’s seat. I told him that “we don’t clean things like that here” and he started raising his voice at me. Neither he nor I explicitly stated that it was in fact blood, but we both knew exactly what it was. After receiving an earful from him, I called my manager over to take a look and deescalate the situation. My manager came over, I explained the situation and he was completely on my side. After, in the most polite way possible, telling the customer to get lost, the guy peeled out of the lot while screaming out his window that he would never return. Well, adios, brother.

After nearly two weeks of no work, this was a good way to spice up the monotony, even though it was an odd situation.

The same shit was on my driver’s ed. Cobalt I had drive with - except on the driver’s side seat.

Really makes me want to reconsider buying a used car...

Seriously, how large a blood stain? I doubt it’s murder since he came to a car wash, that would be epic stupidity. Still, kind of odd, maybe meat leaked on the seat? I’ve had groceries leak, just thinking of possibilities...

They tend to do that when you poke holes in them.

Scandinavians never kill people in cars, always in the woods or on a boat.

I had to clean up somebody's toenail clippings from the driver’s seat of a rental today. Tis not the first time I’ve had to do that. People are gross.

I also work at a car wash. First car of the day was a Volvo S40 with vomit all over the front seat. How do you even manage that...

I work at Chick-Fil-A, and a few weeks ago, a mother and a child came in and ordered two large cookies and cream milkshakes. After I made them, and handed them to the duo, the child threw a fit, and threw the ENTIRE shake at a table. The full thing. All of it.

So, yeah, I had to clean that up. The kid just laughed, and my manager escorted them out.

So, in a way, I understand where you’re coming from.

Kind of reminds me of the bit they did on Top Gear a few times, where they had some bio lab people come in to find how many gross things they could find in their used cars.

It covered 3/4 of the bottom part of the passenger’s seat. Pretty sizeable, but not big enough to be a murder blood stain haha

Yep, I’ve dealt with that. And by dealt with it, I mean I didn’t clean it. No bodily fluids for me!

Exactly. People bring in their trashed cars because they’re too lazy/grossed out to clean their own messe. Then we don’t even get as much as a simple “thank you” most of the time. Unbelievable.

When I’m 16 (in NC, there’s like three corporations that I can work for at the age of 15), I’m out of that place.

I’m already starting to look at Jersey Mikes, Harris Teeter (local grocery store chain), and a friend works at a Ford dealership, and he said that he will attempt to get me a job washing carscars in inventory, of I were to ask. And that’s mighty kind of them.

Yeah, it can get pretty gross, thankfully the cars I get are usually a bit cleaner, worst one recently was a Caliber with a coffee stain so thick it could hold a pencil in place. I soaked it in soapy water and it was gone after wiping it off. It discoloured the soap on contact.
