FRIDAY FUN THREAD: WHAT IS THE FUNNIEST/WIERDEST THING YOU EVER HAD HAPPEN AT WORK.

[TXBSAFH]

What is the funniest or wierdest thing you ever saw or heard at work?

For me it happened about 9 years ago. I worked construction in my 20's. I had several crafts, on this job I was employed as a pipefitter. I was stand next to my foreman when the General foreman come on the radio with a message to him. This was heard by all the foreman and others. This was a large job with maybe 50 with radios. (A bit of pertainent information, a section of pipe is callled a jiont of pipe.) He said, "Bob I just dropped off an 8 inch, 40 foot joint on the west side of the unit. Get on it is a smokin' hot job."

Some of the retorts on the radio were. "That is on heck of a marley."

"Talk about an employee incentive program."

"Can we have OT on that too?"

HAVE FUN!!!

My boss (ex) being fired, two weeks after he hired me, for embezzlement. He eventually went to jail. Evidently stealing a couple of million dollars didn't go over to well.

It is amazing, where I work the frown on stealing too. Oh well.

When I was in law school I clerked for a US District Court judge. One day I was sitting at his secretary's desk doing some work. Of course, these offices are wired up the yazoo with cameras and the like, and the doors are always locked. As I was sitting there working, on the monitor I saw someone at the door and ring the bell. I pushed the black button, thinking it was the button to buzz the door open.

Not more than 30 seconds later, the office was swarming with US Marshals, guns drawn.....oops....I hit the panic button, not the door button.

Felt stupid, but it is a great story....

I am waiting for the nutzos that will ask just what this has to do with conservatism.....

I am shamed, for I have opened the gates of Hell.

Okay, now that is funny.

In the mid-seventies, I was a bank teller. My girlfriend, now wife of 28 years, was coming to the bank so we could go out for lunch.

It was the first time my fellow employees would have the opportunity to meet my absoultely gorgeous (and she still is!) girlfriend.

At precisely 12:00 noon, she came through the door. I dutifully closed my cash drawer, locked it, and turned to greet her.

Unfortunately, when I closed the drawer, my end of my tie was still in it. You can guess the rest.

The head teller saw the whole thing happen. I was delayed a bit in leaving for lunch because I had to pick her up off the floor.

To this day, I have never seen/heard anyone laugh as much or as well as that head teller.

Love is a wonderful thing.

Just goes to show you that some employers just aren't very enlightened. Evidently "root causes" is not part of the management vocabulary here.

I once ran across someone's nameplate that read "THUC VU". Thankfully (s)he wasn't in the office, because I couldn't help but bust out laughing...

LOL

its cool man....I love to twist people's tails when they come on here and accuse others of being the devil or whatnot for posting things of general interest and not just asking the mods to have it moved.

[MikefromOhio]

LOL

My boss (ex) being fired, two weeks after he hired me, for embezzlement.

I delivered pizzas one summer while I was going to college -- the franchise was bouncing paychecks to me (I was always the last to cash my check because I was mailing it to my bank back at school) because it turns out the manager was spending all of the money on "900" number phone calls.

I worked at a large dept store in high school and we got a new manager. In his new house, he had caught a black widow, and brought it in a jar to show everybody (no idea why he thought the asst managers would want so see it). Anyway, I went into the back room and opened a box of mason jars and got an empty one and went up to his office and laid it open on the floor and took the real jar with the spider and hid it. It was pretty funny a couple of minutes later to hear him on the intercom calling an asst manager to his office immediately. One of the office workers had seen me do it, so a few minutes later, I got to hear my name being called over the intercom to head upstairs. Lucky for me, he had a sense of humor.

I had one boss that when it was tiem to reduce head count, he put peoples names on a dart board and let two fly. It got so bad we started calling it Survivor, Hewlitt Packard.
