    Funny incidents at your job.

    Have you ever seen anything on work, that's so funny that you gotta tell it on a forum online? Well, here's your thread

    I haven't started working yet, but I have a funny story one of my teachers told me.

    He worked as a bouncer at a night club in Oslo when he was in university, and was used to checking hundreds of IDs per night.

    One time a young couple came to his night club, and he decided to check the mans ID, as he thought the woman was old enough to enter. He saw that the guy was 20, and let him in. Then the guy's girlfriend said "Hey, why didn't you check me?" - "Do I look so old?". My teacher checked her ID, and she was 19. So she had to leave the premises

    I had a blue jay fly into my work truck while I was at a job. He hung out on the dash, and we hand fed it doughnuts. He stayed about 15 minutes, and then flew off.

      I managed a branch of a large national bank. I once received a phone call from a customer stating that one of my bankers had called her asking if she had any marijuana for sale. I had to launch an investigation, complete with text messages received by the customer, interviewing employees, etc. If the allegation was true, it was one of the most bizarre situations I could have imagined dealing with. It turned out that my banker had left some customer information out, visible on his desk. Another customer saw the name of the person and their employer and assumed it was someone else that he knew in the past. The phone number was also on the paperwork. This person then called the victim/customer asking her for drugs.

      My banker almost shit his pants when I interrogated him in my office. I feel bad about it now in some sense, but he was a moron for leaving info visible to the public. There was a reprimand, but he kept his job.

      This was the first workplace incident to come to mind, but 6 years managing the bank came with many, many incidents (which always happens when you deal with the public). Another great story is the time I had two guys arrested on Christmas Eve for attempting to cash a bogus check. Our computer system was all over the fact that there was something wrong with this check. When things took longer than usual to verify the check, the guys decided to leave. Surprisingly, they called me about 20 minutes later asking if we found out anything and if we could cash it for them. In the interim, I had actually verified with the business owner that the check was fraudulent. I told the crooks to stop back at the bank and we would cash it in the drive-thru. Sure enough, they came back and two police squad cars were not far behind, blocking their vehicle in the drive-thru and ordering them out of the jeep at gunpoint. Apparently they got out by New Years, but they still got to spend Christmas weekend behind bars for trying to cash a $750 check.

        haha I work at a small fruit market so we always have a ton of crazy customers.

        probably one of the best though was one night I was working and in no mood to deal with customers because i was having a shitty day. I was in our Cheese section and i had a lady walk up to me holding a couple of bars of cheese and she proceeded to ask me if our cheese was cruelty free. I had no clue what she was talking about so she went on to ask if the makes of the cheese were cruel to the animals. It was all i could to do to keep from laughing at her, it really brightened up my evening haha

          I went into the bathroom at the tutoring firm at which I work and discovered a child writing " *Firm's name* sucks horse c***" on the mirror...I gave the kid a reprimand but didn't get him in too much trouble because I generally agree with his sentiment haha

            I have officially seen it all now.





            Last night I had a 19-year-old female come in to the ER. Stoned out of her mind, she reached over to the bedside table to re-load her syringe . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .







































            . . . . . . . . . . . . . . and promptly loaded that bitch full of KY Warming Liquid, and proceeded to inject that sh*t into her arm.


            Ho - lee - fu*k.

              When I worked at a grocery store one lady asked us to wait for her husband to come back with reusable bags, she calmly explained that he was driving home to get them, I managed to maintain my composure, I had to just start bagging stuff because there were like five people behind her, and at the very end her husband arrived. I don't know how far their house is but that just dumbfounded me. There was also the lady who asked me to double bag each individual item and we ended up breaking an eight pack of pop bottles into four parts. I think I used about fifty bags which made me kind of happy since she offset the women who had me overload their bags with like 50 pounds of stuff in a reusable bag and told me not to bother separating their meat.

                Man I have a boring job. One time someone spilled coffee on their keyboard. Years later we are still talking about it.

                  Working at a gas station Ive seen a whole lot. Ill just share with you this weeks story....

                  We have many regular customers that stop in on a near daily basis to buy smokes. This is a story about one of these people. She is a 19 year old young woman and VERY attractive. She dresses fairly wierd though. on Tuesday night she came into the store and headed for the ladies room wearing blue jeans and a plaid skirt. Didnt say anything or pick up her ussual smokes and left in just the skirt which is odd for january in WI. Later that night I was cleaning the bathrooms and this girl took a full on man sized dump in her pants, and decided it wouldbe best to just leave them in the middle of the floor. This enraged me and knowing that shes a regular I carefully triplebagged the entire mess and set it under the till. sure enough she came in the next day and I informed her that she forgot something. Ive never seen a face of shear terror than the face she had wednesday night. I dont think shes a regular anymore haha.

                    those are pretty funny. Mine is just stupid.

                    Years ago when i was doing some construction I was 2 1/2 stories in the air on a wooden ladder. I had a big air nailer and was nailing up some fascia. I changed postions and accidently nailed my hand to the ladder. Couldn't move or get down cuz I was stuck there untill I was able to get one of my workers to throw me a pliers so I could pull the dam nail out. From then on I always carried a pliers in my toolbelt.


                    I'm sure I'll remember other instances.
                    Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......





                    I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.

                          **** you. of course. and electricity.



                          One time years back I was snatching a car for non-payment about 10:00 am. I got the key made, found the car, started it and I put the car in reverse to back out of the driveway. This hot chick about 20 years old blasts out of the house and jumps on the hood and grabs the wiper blades of the car to keep me from repo'ing it. She was stark naked. Not a stitch of clothes on. I actually had to back out of the driveway and drove almost a block before she gave up. She ran her ass off to get back home. I probably won't forget that day.
