Bad Things At Work...

[simontibbett]

What is the worse thing you have done on the job, maybe boss pissed you off, maybe you were quitting, name it.

I have many.

I use to work at a car wash, boss was ripping me off so I dumped loads of tire shine in the window towel wash. (makes windows HORRIBLE).

I also left the tire shine machine on emptying all the tire shine onto the floor.

One day we all purposely jammed the wash machine so we had to be closed for half a day.

I was supervisor and when she was gone let everyone stay on the clock doing nothing and racked up some serious money. She closed the rest of the day.

In the end she sold the business. She deserved it.

Most of my shenanigans were at Petco, as I'm sure Casey will be able to chime too with his experiences. That place was mental, bathroom blowjobs, staff drama, weird staff and all sorts. I remember on Independance day when we had only had 3 customers in about 5 hours that we started to try and race the small furry animals in those balls.

Feeding the fish to big fish or turtles, throwing balls around, messing with the dog toys. Kicking it in the back room listening to music instead of doing menial pointless activities. There was so much wasted time. Always buy from Petsmart, that place is actually nice.

When I worked at Chili's, I spit in a customer's drink one time.

landscaper...in the winter time me and my amigos would go to sleep at lunch (11-2) b/c we didn't get enough hours so that extended our day. including racing commercial lawn mowers at prestigous locations in atlanta, drifting said mowers, usingpack blowers profusely when women in skirts came by...but not so much as to be obvious

How often do you lot mess with the food and drinks? I like to think I've not drank or eaten messed up food before but I doubt it given to the sheer law of averages. Not that I've been able to tell a difference in taste though :lol:

[simontibbett]

I could care less if someone spit in my drink or came in my food.

I dunno about the man sauce. That's pushing it.

When I worked at Burger King for a whole month, the drive-thru window was facing Mall of Ga Blvd. and we would chunk souce packets out into the road for people to run over. Yes, people who were extra rude got "special sauce" somewhere in their order.


When I was at Toyota Mall of Ga, I put a valve stem in an anti-freeze bottle and hooked it up to an airline and slid it up behind one of the other guys (I was down in a pit and was able to sneak it up behind him). Then I ducked down and turned the air on. That bottle popped so violently it creaded a concussion that shook all of the bay windows in the main service bay. Funny as ****. But what wasn't so funny was that the service manager was walking a new employee through our area...and the exploded bottle landed at his feet. He didn't find it funny..but I didn't get in trouble. Employee who had the bottle placed behind him was found 25 ft away about 1 second after initial explosion :lol:

Another day, aforementioned coworker was dicking around all day and pissing me off. So when he had his back turned, I grabbed one of the oil fill pumps, stuck it in his pocket and pulled the trugger. I got about 1 qt of 5w30 in his pocket.

Used to make arrows out of pens and shot them with compressed air.

When I worked at Kauffman, I somehow ended up in a 21" tire and rolled across the parking lot...in front of a bunch of customers.

We used to throw the large wheel weights at a drawn target on a backroom wall and played darts.

I used to crawl up in the tire racks and work my way into the tires and take a nap.



The most clock burning job I had was TMoG though... I could go on and on with crap we did there.

[Sawyer]

I've never done it. I've wanted to many many times though. I see it happen occasionally.

That sounds fun.

When I use to work for Toyota detailing their cars I would see how long I could spin the tires in the wash back backing out. That was fun.

At a detail shop I use to work at we would test some customer cars. We took a ladies 350Z to 130, a Mercedes to 14* something I forget, 0-60 test, etc. lol. I always kind of felt bad doing that stuff. Everytime we did a Ferrari or anything we would rev it more then needed.

I used to work here:

One of our responsibilities was to make sure people didn't sit on the hand rails (it was a moving sidewalk, basically a flat elevator). The tunnel is pretty long, so sometimes you can't just yell at people. So we had a PA system. So sometimes when I saw people sitting on the handrails, I'd get on the PA and say this:

"Hello everyone, and welcome to Sea World of Florida's Terrors of the Deep [its old name]. For your safety, and for the well-being of our animals, we ask that you do not sit on the handrails, because doingso could jeopardize the structural integrity of the tunnel, and cause imminent tube failure. Thank you, and enjoy the rest of your day at Sea World of Florida." You've never seen people jump off that **** so fast.

Sometimes I'd take a water bottle and spray some water on the top of the tube, so it'd drip on people's heads. They'd usually haul *** for the end of the tube.

We also had a knob that controlled the speed of the moving sidewalk, as well as the ability to start, stop, or reverse it's direction. You can imagine the fun we had with that.

And then there's the **** I did in the Air Force. Well, I actually can't tell you about any of that.

[BTW, the caption in that pic is wrong (or they've shortened the tunnel). It should be 124']

I hada been at the Applebees that used to be on tara blvd. about 8 months,when I found out that they had just hired another kid For a bout $1 more per hour.This kid sucked at his job,so I go to the Mnaager and tell him that I want $1.75,and he said there was nothing he could do I lost my mind throwing plates and mugs yelling at the top of my lungs.At the end of the night I clocked out and never went back,they mailed me my last check.

Thank you, and enjoy the rest of your day at Sea World of Florida."

I worked there back in 1984 - during my holding pattern for USAF delayed entry... 3 weeks of washing 3 dozen cases of Hurricane cocktail glasses every morning and busting *** bussing tables in the Hawaiian restaurant was the most stressful job I'd ever had... (was fresh out of High School) I couldn't pop enough Vivarin to stay awake most days LOL :lol:

I did take advantage of the free passes somehow during that time and took two guests also.

How was the boss ripping you off??

[redrumracer]

the worse i ever done was drinking on the job. the best part was my boss brought it.

oh and fighting my best friend that i worked with.(still friends)

[simontibbett]

How was the boss ripping you off??

Many ways. First she would clock us all in and out when she thought needed. But make us stay at work or fire us if we left.

Then she made me supervisor and bumped my pay an extra $5/hour. Well first check comes, nothing added, I ask her, she goes I never said that, no clue what you are talking about. Well after some yelling in front of customers, including mentioning the Department of Labor and how I saw her husband dumping oil behind the dumpsters out back I had cash in hand and she assured next check would be fine.

I worked 8-6 6 days a week, BUSTED MY ***, and would make $250 every 2 weeks...LIKE WHAT THE ****.

The clocking me in and out and clocking me out when there working was the worse. I called the Department of Labor MANY times about it, and they kept saying I needed more then one complaint to file a case, which we did, and they just kept slacking.

The day I left I found out she had clocked me out for hours and I was busting my *** very busy day, I started throwing **** yelling in front of customers cussing at her and the manager. I told everyone I was responsible for to quit and go home, customers left, I put the detail equipment in the back of cars so they would take it, and referred them to another place.

And for "why didn't you just quit" I NEEDED that job at the time.
