- A worker said a refrigerator fell on him.
- An employee said he was in line at a coffee shop when a truck carrying flour back up and dumped the flour into her convertible.
- A worker said a deer bit him.
- An employee had too much to eat at a party.
- A worker fell out of bed … and broke his nose.
