One time, a cat came in for a check - up. As the vet tech was trying to take its temperature, the cat just sprawled out and started purring, completely unphased by the whole process. It was like it was enjoying a spa day instead of a medical exam.
A vet tech horror story could be a situation where a sick animal was brought in with an unknown disease. The vet tech was the first to handle it and later found out that the disease was highly contagious. They were worried about having exposed themselves and other animals in the clinic. Another one was when a vet tech was assisting in a difficult birth of a large dog. There were complications and blood everywhere. It was a very gory and scary scene. And in one instance, a vet tech was trying to draw blood from a very uncooperative horse. The horse kicked out and nearly hit the tech in the face, which was a really frightening moment.
I know a vet tech horror story where a vet tech was handling a wild animal that had been brought in for treatment. The wild animal was still very much in its natural state and was not used to human handling. It managed to break free from its restraints and attacked the tech. There was a lot of blood and panic. Also, there was a case where a vet tech was dealing with a litter of puppies that all had a mysterious and rapidly spreading illness. Despite their best efforts, most of the puppies didn't make it, which was heart - breaking. And in one situation, a vet tech walked into a room full of snakes that had escaped from their cages due to a faulty lock. It was a terrifying sight to see all those snakes slithering around.
A vet told me about a situation where a horse thought the vet's truck was some kind of new stable and refused to leave it. The vet had to call in extra help to get the horse out. And then there was a skunk that came in. The vet was super cautious but it turned out the skunk was just as scared as the vet was. The skunk's little waddling walk as it tried to hide was really quite comical.
A vet tech once had a goat as a patient. The goat was very stubborn and refused to get on the scale. So, the tech tried to lure it with some hay. Instead of walking onto the scale, the goat ate the hay right next to it and then pooped on the floor. It was a total mess but also really funny.
Once upon a time, there was a small startup. They were developing a new app. One day, their server crashed right before a big presentation. But instead of panicking, the tech guy found out it was because a squirrel had chewed through some cables outside the building. It was both hilarious and a lesson about having backup plans.
One funny tech story is about the early days of touchscreens. People were so used to physical buttons that they would often press hard on the touchscreen as if it had a physical click mechanism. Some even tried to scratch it to see if there was a hidden button. Another is when a new software update made a smartphone's voice assistant start responding in a really high - pitched voice randomly, which left users both confused and amused.
Sure. One time a vet had a parrot as a patient. The parrot kept repeating naughty words it had learned from its owner. The vet was trying so hard not to laugh while examining it. Another time, a cat was so scared at the vet's that it climbed onto the highest shelf in the room and refused to come down, making the vet use all kinds of tricks to get it.
One funny story is about a guy who thought his PC was overheating because it made strange noises. He opened it up, saw the fan was a bit dusty, and decided to blow on it like it was a birthday candle. The dust flew everywhere, and his PC started working better but his room was a mess.
Well, one funny 4chan tech story could be about a user who tried to build his own super - computer from old parts he found in a junkyard. He posted pictures of his chaotic setup and all the wires everywhere. People on 4chan were both amazed and amused by his DIY spirit.
