We've all probably played in a McDonald's PlayPlace at least once in our lives. And we all probably know just how gross they can be. Well, we bet you haven't heard stories like this before. These 15 McDonald's employees reveal the disgusting and horrifying nightmares that have happened in a McDonald's PlayPlace. Beware, these are gross!
A Late Night Creeper
I was working a late night shift on a Saturday and I start to see people leaving the PlayPlace in a hurry. I went in to see what was going on and I see a man walking around with a very large knife on his side. He was pacing back and forth talking to himself, so I freaked out and called the police. The police came and took him away in cuffs. [OprahWinfreys via Reddit]
Poop-N-Slide
One little kid decided to poop in the twisty slide, but the smart part about it was, he did it in the middle of the slide so kids at the top couldn't see it. Kids would slide down unknowingly and land in the poop. They would get poop on their backs, faces, hands, pretty much everywhere. Worst day ever. [the_flying_camel69 via Reddit]
The Unattended Children
One lady left her two children in the PlayPlace for four hours while she went thrift shopping. I was notified about it when a women noticed the children in there without a guardian. When she finally returned she admitted she does this at least a few times a week. [Patty Bouvier44 via Reddit]
Puke And Swirl
One day there was a kid's birthday party in the play area. There were about ten kids in the ball pit and all of a sudden they all started getting out with stains on their shirts. What looked like a kid playing in the balls was actually him ducking under the balls and puking. The kid was puking in multiple locations and the kids were running around, swirling it around. When I was asked to clean it up, I quit on the spot. [Reddit]
Play Hard, Hide Harder?
Two teenagers decided to hide in the ball pit and go at it. Gross! [shasta69]
Disturbing Ball Pit
Don't ever let your kids jump in the ball pit. It is basically filled with poop, pee and food. Kids will bring their Happy Meals into the ball pit and forget about them. At the bottom you have a layer of cheeseburgers, then a layer of chicken nuggets, then poop. [manboobsonfire via Reddit]
Smoke And Play
I was closing one night and noticed smoke coming from under the door of the PlayPlace. I went over to see what was causing the smoke only to find four older men smoking pot and cigarettes, sliding and giggling. [PattyBouvier44 via Reddit]
Looking For A Pay Raise
This kid got stuck in one of the tubes at the PlayPlace. When I went to pull him out of the tube, his parents sued me for "reckless endangerment of a child and inappropriate contact with a child." I got fired and held up in court for three months. [drthaller via Reddit]
A Giant Box Of Germs
Our PlayPlace had a giant crawl-in happy meal box. That box is disgusting. Kids leave food in there, puke in there, go to the bathroom in there and employees have even hooked up in there. [aaabcad via Reddit]
There’s No Puking Here
A kid vomited in the PlayPlace and proceeded to pick it up and throw it at other kids who then puked. We had to close the PlayPlace to clean it. A woman got mad that her kids couldn't play. She broke into the PlayPlace, said, "I'll show you clean," stuck her finger down her throat and puked everywhere. The last I heard she was trying to sue the owner because the chemicals in the PlayPlace made her sick. [EmilyAmI via Reddit]
A Waterfall Of Pee
An older couple with their grandchildren came in and sat down to eat their food at a table under one of the tubes. A kid started peeing in the tunnel above and the pee proceeded to drip on all of their food. [Reddit]
You’re Never Too Old For The PlayPlace…Okay Maybe You Are
I'm not an employee, but my aunt got stuck in the spiral slide once. She was like 40 at the time. I'm not really sure why she decided to go down the slide, but she did and she definitely didn't fit. They had to shut down the PlayPlace and call someone to get her out. [jooes via Reddit]
A Fight Fit For Moms
Two kids were getting into an argument. One of the kids looked fairly older than the other and the mother of the younger kid was getting mad her kid was getting picked on. The other mother didn't seem to care and didn't think it was her problem. The mom of the younger kid demanded an apology and when the other mom shrugged it off, she grabbed her by the hair and slammed her face into the slide. It turned into a huge WWE brawl.

Started At The Top Now We’re Here?
My sister used to work at McDonald's and one day she had to clean up pee that went from the top of the slide to the bottom. She started at the top like an idiot and lost her footing. [MisterAccuracy via Reddit]
A Rusty Ball Pit
I'm not an employee but I found a pair of rusty scissors in the ball pit when I was 6. I gave them to a staff member and got free ice cream. [_anesthetize via Reddit]
