You know you work in a rough area when the glazing contractor leaves you enough adhesive safety film to do make 20 smashed windows safe and you and the sitemanager have gone through it in 2 weeks.

You know you work in a rough area when you have an actual procession of social workers and police ariving on a monday morning for shenanigans that went on over the weekend.
