Years ago, to earn a few extra bucks, I participated in a number of focus groups. This is where we would get paid to test out a product for a company prior to it hitting the market. One day, we all got four packs of "low tar" cigarettes.Due to the price of smokes, we were all very happy. Unfortunately, the cigarettes were terrible. The "revolutionary" new filter had little holes around it so that every puff only gave you half smoke and half air. The next week I returned to the group and told the researcher
that the cigarettes were great...after I wrapped tape around the filter (covering the holes), she was pissed. It later turned out that everyone liked the cigarettes. But also EVERYONE had modified the filter. Some cut the filter in half, some taped it up
(my method)and a few broke it off completely.It didn't matter though, it still made it to market...as did the mouthwash that half the guys drank as a cocktail.

During the recession I struggled to find a job and was willing to do anything to support myself through uni. I once worked in a smallgoods factory - had to make sausages, kabana, salami, etc. I lasted 4 hours. The pay was ok but I had to work from 4am - 8am 5 days a week. (Try getting out of bed between 2.30am-3am every morning then going to uni all day!) The room I was in was filthy, had dead animals hung up everywhere. (like in storeroom at the butchers) I worked with 4 older, hairy, european men. They were lovely but they constantly malted and it made me sick thinking of all those black hairy bits going into the meat. The place stunk, and as soon as I escaped into the street (after that revolting 4 hours) I nearly vomited. I didn't need a job that badly, and haven't eaten sausages, etc. since. That was about 10 years ago!

I had a woman come in for training, she was studying for a degree and thought she was more qualified because she had read all about it but had never done a day of hands on work in her life. I was her supervisor but she had age over me and her so called "experience" out of her text books. She was upsetting my staff and the clients and trying to override my decisions. Finally i had had enough. She only had two days remaining with us but no way would she let up..and this was long hours and physically and mentally tiring. At the end of the day we all sat around and had a coffee for hand over time. I voluteered to make the coffee's. I stirred a half of a pack of chocolate laxatives into hers and told her it was mocha chocolate...she gulped it down and asked for another....fearing a real mishap i told her that was all i had but made her another coffee.
The next moning i bagan my shift sure that I would get a phone call telling me she had the runs and must have caught a tummy bug and couldnt come in. I was a little guilty and worried...but looking forward to a peaceful day without miss "know it all".
But brighter and earlier than ever she arrived , with a huge smile on her face, "good morning" she smiles yawning and stretching with a renewed look of relaxation on her face. "I have had the best sleep i have had in ages she said" and went about her work with renewed vigor but less of the forceful approach she had initially come with. He last two days were the best...and she went away thanking me profusely for a great experience...i was still thrilled to see the back of her......but to this day i have to laugh that i did her a favour rather than an injustice....she obviously had a lot "crap bottled up inside".....haha

So I was driving with my boss to a meeting across town.When I noticed that we were coming up to a hump in the road. I remembered how I would drive over the train tracks when I was younger and it would send a shockwave down my doodlenanny. I turned to my boss and said "ready for a testicle tuesday?" whilst I slowly increased the RPM of my car's engine. he looked at me with dagger eyes and said "no keep driving." However I continued to speed up and we approached the hill., I made a noise like "hwaahhhhhh" as the car experienced negative g forces at the hump's apex and it was thank you tuesday for my testes. I remembered how good it felt. he then told me to "pull over and let me out here, I will take a cab the rest of the way. don't come back to work ever again." Do i have a lawsuit? Was i wrong?

On my first day at new job I was racing to catch an elevator. I could see thru the little window the grate inside was closing so I pushed the button and caught it in the nick of time however when the door opened, the floor of the elevator hadn't quite come level with the outside floor. Well, I reeled headlong into a coworker leaning back against the rail right in front of me. The top of my head hit him in the groin so hard I'm surprised I didn't injure him. The elevator door closed behind me and there I was with no escape hatch, no excuses, nothing to say for myself, just utter humliation. Everyone in the office thought it was hysterically funny and I guess I did too once I got over my initial embarrassment.

At my supermarket job, I once had to use the toilet really badly, the big one, you know. Anyway, I went to the toilet and it was occupied. I went back a number of times and still, occupied. Then I realized I was the object of a co-worker's joke: Someone had placed a pair of boots in front of the bog, and a smock over the closed seat--just falling low enough to cover the tops of the boots. It looked like one person had been on the can for about an hour!

I once worked as a customer service representative for a cable company.One day I got a call from a man asking me just random questions relating to his account.I should point out that we were told if a customer called with legitimate questions about his/her account and we hung up on them, for any reason, we'd get wrote up.
Not too long into the call, I heard some heaving breathing and a friction type sound. It turns out that the man was WHACKING OFF!! while on the phone with me and then telling me how hot it was getting in the room.
I started reading comments that other representatives made on his account. He calls until he gets a female on the line and does this until they hung up on him or get their supervisor. I put him on hold and reported it to my supervisor, but she didn't do anything about it and told me again, I would get wrote up if I hung up on him.
Eventually someone talked me into just hanging up and apparently the supervisors weren't monitoring that call, so I didn't get in trouble.

I worked the night shift in an all night supermarket. One of my duties was to clean the registers and checkout counters. About 1:00 am I was cleaning a register facing the window. I happened to look up and there was a guy standing at the window with his pants down masturbating. I threw the paper towels aside and went to the time clock where the boss was waiting to clock in and told him there was a guy in the window playing with himself. He said "say what" . He called the night crew up front and they went outside to check it out and found that the guy had turned a shopping cart on its side so he could stand on it so I could get a better view. The night crew thought it was hysterical and said they should all drop their pants so I could identify who it was.
