I had a coworker get in my boss' and my face about something she was clearly in the wrong about.
She had a ring of chocolate around her mouth thru the entire conversation. It was so hard not to laugh.

PDQ
I was working late at school one time on a large project and I guess no one knew I was there because I walked into the office and saw the principal and the head of the PTO kissing. They were both married and not to each other but I didn’t know that because I was new. I assumed it was all above board because I was 23 and dumb and mentioned something about it to my mentor like “oh I didn’t know Mr. X and PTO Mom we’re a thing.” I didn’t think anything of it again until it all came out after they went home together after the Christmas party and he showed up for work the next day in the same clothes. It ended up being that he had had inappropriate relationships with a number of teachers on his staff, all young, pretty, brunette, and married which pretty much was how you might have described me when he hired me 😬
And the fun one was when a kid came to school with special flower petals to sprinkle on the floor because she and her friends wanted to play wedding and she was the flower girl. Yeah. It was a bag of weed. All over the rug.

I’m dying over a weed wedding.
I was robbed at gun point when I worked for a bank. That was neat.

MH has tons of great stories. Once they responded to a stuck elevator on Mother’s Day. They got it opened and working and 3 women in there were wasted. They’d gotten open the wine they had with them and drank it all while they waited for the fire department. Is it bad that my first reaction was surprise that 3 women got drunk off of one bottle of wine? 😬 All I can think about is where would they pee???!!

I worked at a Hallmark in high school back when Beanie Babies were huge things, and we had a purchase limit for certain types. One woman freaked out about this and started throwing the Beanie Babies at us and knocking over displays and we had to call the cops to remove her.

We do meet in the lobby before going to lunch, but I don’t think that screams “they must be fucking”, which we aren’t btw. ...yet?

These stories are something. I worked at a mortgage company over a college summer and a receptionist came back from lunch with a completely wet head. She said she got a haircut on lunch, but didn't have time to have it dried. When the boss commented that a wet head wasn't professional in front of clients, she cut him off and said she quit. Later he explained he was only going to ask her to towel dry a bit & pull it back into a bun. Insert 'that escalated quickly' meme. Maybe there was more of a backstory I wasn't privy to?

Before I worked at my school, we had a semi lock down (just one building) because two parents were drunk and threatening each other just before pick up time.
A few years ago I had these boys in my grade who had been bffs since birth and the parents were all good friends. At the end of the year both sets had divorced and mum from one was living with dad from the other.
Student: “Miss Shoes! We’re brothers now!!!”
Me: 😯😬😳

One woman freaked out about this and started throwing the Beanie Babies at us and knocking over displays and we had to call the cops to remove her. I worked for a candy store in the mall that started selling secondary market Beanie Babies during the height of the craze. I cannot tell you how many times I was bitched out over prices (like that was something I, the high school student, could control). True story: We sold the Britannia bear for $795. I saw it a few years ago at a flea market for under $5.

Once we had a temp at work who snorted back his phlegm every 30 seconds. And at lunch (which he ate at his desk), he'd eat greasy pizza then suck the grease off his fingers (while still snorting back phlegm). It was the most nauseating few weeks of my life.

I worked at a a summer camp for years. So many stories of varying levels of disgust. There was the counselor that slept on the dorm room mattress with no sheets. She also changed her tampon in the room, with her roommate there, and just threw it in the garbage can.
There were the staffers that got fired for having a drunken sex party and videoing it. We lost like 5 staff members that day. The guy that videoed it was married and didn’t understand the big deal.
There was the time four students got sent home for having oral sex. They snuck off during rec hour and all used the same empty classroom. Having to sit there and hear my prim and proper Director ask questions like “Did you see his penis? Did you touch his penis?” was mortifying. I was also there when they called the girls’ parents. One girl tried to tell her parents that she didn’t understand what he was doing, but when I helped her pack and she called her friend to tell her what happened, it was clear this was not the first time she had done this and she was mad because her parents were canceling her birthday party.
Kids also don’t like to shower or do laundry at camp so that can be disgusting. One kid walked around with his hands down the back of his pants because he had not showered in weeks and his ass itched.

I had a coworker at my former company that would go upstairs to the still under renovation office area and read Harry potter for hours on end, or sometimes sleep. He was eventually fired for that plus other things, and he wrote a threateneing email to one of the bosses when it happened (I wasnt there for this, I was on vacation, so I heard about it when I got back). I actually carpooled with him for a while before his crazy showed. 😬 We had an employee from our IT department who was recently let go for disappearing for hours. At my company IT charges their time to each division based on a ticket system. This guy would respond to a ticket for a request for IT support, and if it was on a different floor from the IT department offices he would then disappear into an empty office to sleep for a couple hours. He'd claim that time as people pulling him in on other problems when they saw him on the floor. For the first two years I worked here, we constantly had reminders about always putting in a ticket request rather than asking in-person so they could properly track all the problems. Eventually the company hired another employee because this guy was "so busy" and there was "so much demand". The new employee couldn't find anything to do, and finally put the pieces together and ratted out the other guy. Someone from security now walks around every floor a few times a day and I think they're mostly checking that empty offices aren't used for nap time.

The UO reminded me of another. After college I got a job for a few months as an assistant manager at a store in the mall. I got the job while looking for a job in my field and was upfront about that. One of my daily duties was to call in numbers hourly to our regional manager, so this woman knew my voice and my name, which is super uncommon. 3 days after I gave my 2 weeks notice I got a call from the regional manager. I expected it to be an exit interview. Nope, she was calling because she found my resume on Monster and wanted to know if I wanted to interview for the assistant manager job that was opening up. She was really embarrassed when I told her that I was the person vacating the job.

When I worked in the call center, there were employees that fell asleep on the phone more than once.
There was one time where a woman called back and played the voicemail of someone snoring when she spoke with a manager.

We've had more than one client who has requested to use our private bathrooms (we don't have public toilets, only for employees). We normally don't let them because twice in the first month I worked here, a client had used our bathroom and there was poop smeared everywhere. On the seat, on the walls, everywhere. Two different people.
And they both came back! I would not be able to show my face at a business if I ever wrecked their toilets like that.

In highs school i worked at a popular pizza place, you all know it. We had a new manager who was a dick. I did everything there but drive. On this particular Sunday I was cooking. I was in the walk in freezer to change out product because product on line was looking green (ham in particular), and well food safety standards said it was time to change out. He came in and questioned what i was doing. I told him. He took the container of ham out of my hands looked at it and said don't dump that, it's fine. I was like actually it's green, I'm not serving that. He was like yea you are and took it back out to the line. I stood there for about 10 seconds after he left until i said F it and pushed the emergency button that is the freezer, that little black button that calls the police. So about 2 minutes later 3 cars of cops pulled up and cornered the manager to figure out what happened. I happily tossed all the ham and replaced it with new ungreen ham. Manager was fired about 2 weeks later.
While waiting tables about 8 years later (at a different place), I was robbed at knife point during Christmas time walking back to my car. I had to walk pretty damn far due to rules. I was pissed because I made about $400 that night and was set on paying all my bills.

I worked overnight at a gas station by myself, and was robbed at gunpoint. My manager thought I was going to work the next night. Nope.
I had one of our drivers fall asleep in his truck waiting for his departure time. Drivers showing up early and napping was not uncommon, and really made no difference to me, but this particular driver would often arrive late and then blame his late departure on me. He walked into the building about 45 minutes after his departure time and had the nerve to ask my coworker why we didn't wake him up.
