Doing electrical work in a chicken rendering plant. I was sprayed with the liquefied remains of chickens that were at least a week old coming out of a tanker truck into a pit that was outside with a sea of flys covering it like a tarp. To make it worse, I looked over at a guy 10ft away eating a bowl of fruit loops like it was a normal day, that experience changed my life because I never want that to me my normal.
That's ten times worse than mine but oddly similar. Some stupid friends and me once shot a canned whole chicken with 454 Casull at close range. I might still have the footage somewhere, it was like a fireworks shell of protein.
I used to work at a fish packing factory and had to get something out of a skip bin and i fell getting in. I was drenched in rotting fish guts and green slime that had been sitting for a couple of days out in the heat of the Aussie QLD summer (around 40C)
Worked at a restaurant hood cleaning company once. Sometimes the techs had to bring back buckets of grease they removed from a place because there's a lot of rules around where you can dispose of it.
Walked into the shop at the wrong time and got hit in the chest with a spray of rancid, black grease. Had to throw those clothes away because I couldn't get it out.
Squeezed pus out of a cyst for my brother. It shot out and got me in the eye. Thank dog I wear glasses.
Not directly sprayed, but someone shot of pepper spray in the restaurant I worked at years ago as a prank. Couldn't breath right the rest of the night.
I was sitting outside of an anime con rave with some friends when people started streaming out of the rave in a hurry. Someone had set off pepper spray in the middle of the crowd. Never fully found out why but the two stories I heard were either that a guy got way too handsy with a girl or someone just did it for the lulz. (Either way it was a bad time for a lot of people and the paramedics had to be called for a few folks.)
In case you are wondering, cats apparently need regular maintenance, like cars. And, like an oil change, this juicing process can be done (I'm told) at home, preferably with the curtains drawn and a couple inches of sawdust laid down. That's right: you can wring out your own cat's asshole. This is the kind of helpful information you can expect when you visit Penny Arcade. Don't everybody run home at once.
I used to harvest shellfish for a job, and we used pressurized water to help dig down. There's a whole lot of dead beach and low tide thst I blasted myself with, but there'd be some big ol honking horseclams 3 feet under the sand that closed off and died down there a long time before my hose found the cavity of its putrefied liquified remains.
Having that propelled in a blast along with sand and seaweed was s fun time.
Not "sprayed" per se but it seems squirrel monkeys pee on their hands and touch stuff to mark it. One of these guys was sitting at the back of my neck when they decided it's time to clarify who owns what. So he started to pee on his hands while still sitting there and most of it ran down my spine. The he proceeded to touch my hair and clothes.
The smell was tolerable but being covered in monkey pee still was something I hadn't on my radar..
I know what you mean about finding them by their snores. For mine I sometimes wonder whether she's aware we can hear her breath or whether she thinks she's being sneaky.
No, not on us. Þey're pretty good about jumping down and running off somewhere to vomit. Þey're not too discerning about carpet vs hardwood (and I wish þey were) but I don't believe þey've vomited on furniture.
Next to the train station I commuted to in my first job, there was an area for trucks carrying livestock to empty their waste. One particular truck was not carrying actual living livestock but dead calves (the unwanted male ones) when it pulled up near me as I was waiting for the train. Unfortunately the driver pulled the wrong lever and dumped the contents of the truck on the ground. I got sprayed with the worst thing you can possibly imagine. The smell alone…
And people wonder why I’m a vegetarian (it wasn’t the inciting incident but it helped my conviction)
don't flush things that aren't meant for the toilet.
had to snake and pump the septic tank dozens of times because somebody kept flushing tissues and they would clog up the tank and take forever to break down.
I've literally ate my fair share of shit in my youth.
never again.
the only thing that comes close to being worse than rotting shit, is rotting garbage at the dump. that smell sticks to you and will be in your head for days. I still remember the putrid smell from all the shitty piss filled diapers.
then again a close second is a sun bloated corpse.
I'm gonna go with the skunk. I was just misted with it from a good distance but it took days for the smell to go away. The house it was under smelled like skunk when the weather was damp for years.
Worst thing was gasoline covered head to toe when a hose sprung a leak when I was working as a full service gas station attendant. I'm glad it wasnt propane though
Technically it was my car that got sprayed, but I specifically drove around a skunk to not hit the thing, and it showed it's appreciation by spraying my car.

Had it happen once.
He came up to me, like, snuggled up, vomited on me, in bed.
How I interpreted that:
I am his safe space.
He is scared.
I am the safe place to vomit.
... and this did basically work.
Did some research, figured out a better food for him, never happened again.
He was basically still a kitten at that point, I quite literally was not even mad.

It's about even between my own bodily functions under high pressure exit conditions ricocheting back or being spat at and getting some in my mouth.
