San Francisco...I still have nightmares.
Talking to the customer about filtration stains from Computers and he says
"Well as you can see I have a computer" (not a Cump pooter)
As he motioned to the computer screen there was a big picture of a weeney with a hand around it.
Kinda like your girlfriend's point of view I would guess.
I'm shakin as I write this...then you wonder why I'm so screwed up.

A dead cat behind the sofa(how the smell as it was decomposing didn't drive them out of the house I don't know), dead frogs, dead mice, half eaten plate of chicken, etc.
Mirrors with white powder, trays with dead leaves and rolling paper, etc.
Fire arms of all types and sizes.
Money, money and more piles of money....

How about a room with just piles and piles of dog crap? I've cleaned some crazy houses in my day but good God. How do you let your dog crap everywhere and then not pick it up? :?
Remindes me of Eddy Murphy's stand up.
"The shits been here for a week Eddy. The shit is furniture now. I said **** it, I put my drink on it."
Of course, that's back when he was funny.

Sometimes I think you guys just make things up.
Only odd thing I have ever found is the occasional pet dump.
No naked women, gay men, dope or outlaws.

a LOOONG time ago I was doing a pest control in a house and part of the service requires me to lift the manhole in the ceiling to get access to the ceiling void where I would blast permethrin bug powder and what do I find.....
dozens and dozens of shopping bags full of weed.
The owners shat themselves when they realised where I was, worried that I would dob 'em in.
Just had a laugh with them and told them not to worry.
The strangest thing I have EVER seen ( and there's been a few ...... dildos, cash, rooms of porn, bongs, handcuffs, guns, suicide notes, brain, remnants of a 20 stone guy who had died a week earlier in the middle of summer and literally exploded, naked women etc ) was in the main bedroom of a dump of a house that had right next to the bed a very large parrot chained to a timber post that was about 4 foot high and a pile of parrot shit underneath the top of the post that was with no exageration as high as the birds claws.
I think I stood there for a few minutes in amazement just looking at it.
The really wierd thing is that the shit didn't smell as bad as the rest of the house.

On one of my jobs in my early days they had a cat that disappeared as soon as I entered the living room. The sofa was a struggle to pull out from the wall and after I dragged it away there was a cat tail with a piece of gut attached. Now I was used to doing field repairs of things I broke, mostly with the super glue I had in my Pinto, and I really was trying to figure out how to reattach this tail before the homeowner found out about it. So I spent the rest of the job trying to resolve this issue. Eventually I did see the cat again and his tail was intact.

in resi situations, nothing really any different than what's been mentioned.
bongs/drug paraphernalia, sex toys, money, lost jewelery in upl, etc.
we've had a couple women over the years that like to show their bootie for kicks.
One day I was working alone and one of them left her panties for me...fo-reel.
I know that cause when we did the pre-cleaning walk thru inspection they weren't there.
Plenty of "odd" folks too.
I found a snub nosed Colt revolver in a recliner at a regular custy's home.
the husband had passed away a month earlier.
I knew it was his and was sure Shirley didn't know it was there.
She'd of probably freeked if she knew she was sitting on a loaded pistol .... :shock:
I unloaded it and gave it to her
It's in the empty sec 8 units we rehab where we find the most surprises.
They're not surprises anymore though, as we've been desensitized to the things we've seen over the years.
Some of things we see still piss me off though.
Like when they leave all the KID'S stuff....good and/or like new beds, books, cloths, toys, pictures, etc.
Or when the bastards abandon animals inside

This thread gives real insite as to how we get into people's real lives. Most of the weird things happen in that master bedroom.
If someone doesn't hide or get rid of something in there when they know damn well you are coming in. Then they either WANT you to see it or it is so common place for them that they don't even realize it.
But really, have you every found a dildo in someones car? They have to know better than to leave it or other things like that on "display" in the bedroom.
People are funny.
I think the personalities were the best and worst part about cleaning carpets....something new everyday...even after 20 years.

we had one that went to the building's trash dumpster and carried garbage UP to the apt to spread it everywhere.
No chit..they took the time and effort to carry it up, rip open the bags and dump it.
it was knee high thru out the whole unit.
They also let loose a dozen rats and mice they fed to their pet snakes.
They put several large whole rotting catfish in the public washer and drier too
I know more than a couple property owners that had all the cooper plumbing removed by the ex tenants.
One guy was nice about it though...while he was living there, he was stripping the cooper and replacing it with CPCV plumbing...
