I have a rather sad little anecdote about my shift the other day, just for this post.
I had to pick up a client from one day program, and then give him some afternoon tea and all that, and then pick up a second client 45 minutes later, and take them both home.
When I pulled over the van for the afternoon tea-giving before picking up the second client, I realized that the first client had kindly decided to remove his shorts. So, of course, I tried to get him to put them back on before doing anything else. I tried two or three times to no avail, and then realized it would be way easier for both of us if I undid his seatbelt.
Yeah. Bad move.
As soon as his seatbelt was undone, the client pushed past me and climbed out the window of the van - still not wearing any pants. He then sat himself down and just looked at me expectantly, like, "Come on, what are you going to do now?". Unfortunately, he's much bigger and stronger than me, and was in a fun kind of mood that involved not listening at all to me, so there was nothing I could do to convince him to get back in the van. Meanwhile, he's masturbating and urinating all over the ground. I ended up having to call for back-up - twice! - to get the incident resolved, and the whole thing ended up taking over two hours.
I didn't realize that he could a) open the window and b) climb through the window, but I did know that he's a climber and has to be watched closely in public, so I sure felt ridiculous after that.
Fortunately I had a chat with some of the higher-ups and they all assured me that even though I made a poorly thought out choice, it wasn't my fault and they don't hold me responsible.
