9. I work in a multi-airline airport bagroom with high traffic.

The shit I've seen would blow your mind. People on tractors tearing around blind corners at top speed; a couple of idiots on Razor scooters blazing through daily on my shift alone; even a pair of horseplaying mechanics--one on a bicycle, one following him too closely on a tractor--racing through an intersection. Once every few years we lose someone because they drove around with a leg hanging out of a tractor or sat with their butt half off the seat. One clown managed to flip a tractor down a stairwell. I like to tell myself I'm safety-conscious, yet I've still had close calls (and done a few stupid things) myself, but this sheer disregard for ourselves and others flabbergasts me.
