Strange or funny things which happened in work

[Aberblue]

I'd be very interested in hearing any stories anybody has about strange or funny things which happened to them in the workplace. For example, jobs where you had little or nothing to do; incompetent or lazy bosses; odd incidents with customers or clients.

Any stories would be welcome.

Thanks in advance.

I got seconded to a job for one week a couple of years back where I was in a room on my own from 6am-5pm Monday to Friday and all I had to do was answer a phone in the morning and tell them 1 person was in the building (me).

They also had no WiFi so my data took a hammering, I read 3 books and watched a whole load of downloaded Netflix.

there was a toilet in the corner of the workshop, one of the guys was having a crap when the toilet snapped in half, he got the door open, laid on the floor with his pants around his ankles and half a toilet bowl on the back of his legs

running car workshops for 30+ years has resulted in some right experiences with both staff and customers

The broken seat would have ripped through Ashtonians ball bag though and he’d have started a thread asking how to get his balls back in !

one of the managers decided he was going to get fit and we were all a bunch of lazy wasters (true) - anyways he bought a bike and was going to cycle to work, he lived about 5 miles away.

He made the mistake of leaving his bike in the workshop each day, so one of the mechanics used to remove his saddle and put a bit of the sand out of the fire bucket in his frame each day.

By the end of the month the guy was practically dying by the time he got to work

He would have had it all sewn up.

We took the bosses one wheel trim off his car and put tiny pebbles behind it when we put it back on.

He took the car to the garage and everything to try and get it sorted.

It drove him almost insane.
