About this episode

This episode features incredible stories from real people, including a construction worker's porta potty ordeal and a Canadian's experience in Belarus.

What do a construction worker chained inside a porta potty, a photographer who accidentally destroyed a $90,000 movie prop, a haunted church, and a Canadian trapped in Belarus have in common? They're all part of another unforgettable shift on I Used To Work There. In this episode, you'll hear eight incredible stories from real people who lived them, including a habanero pepper disaster that went horribly wrong, a government-funded porn inspection job, a gas station customer nobody could forget, a Blockbuster theft unlike anything you've ever heard, and a business trip that turned into a three-week international survival mission.
