In honor of David Letterman (even though I am more of a Leno fan) I have compiled my own top ten of gross, funny and unbelievable work stories. Some of these I have personally experienced, while others I have heard second hand. It’s a scary world out there…..
Ø I had a co-worker who would eat the grossest things for lunch. One time he opened a can of peas and ate them cold, took out an onion and started eating it like an apple and then poured the pea juice in a separate cup and drank it. Needless to say, he smelled like death…
Ø I had a co-worker who told everyone in her department that they were not allowed to get flowers due to her allergies. When she had flowers delivered to her and someone questioned her on it, she said it was okay for her to get them because she knows all of her allergies…
Ø I use to have a co-worker talk about a certain leaky body part while we were eating lunch. Bon appétit!
Ø I decided to take a hostess job at a well-known restaurant that sells chicken wings. During one point of our training, we had to “bawk” like chickens. I thought, is this what my life has come to?
Ø While working a temporary job, I had an employee come up and tell me she thought she was allergic to my perfume and asked if I would not wear it. Although I was a little irritated, I understood her predicament. After lunch she came up to me and said she was also going to need me to change my hairspray, deodorant and possibly my shampoo and conditioner. Didn’t she realize I was doing temporary work?
Ø I had a customer come in and tell me she wanted to show me her baby pictures. I had no idea she was going to show me a picture of her sprawled out naked while she was giving birth!! I never looked at her the same…
Ø While working for a well-known lingerie store, I had a guy come in to buy some bras for his wife. After giving him some suggestions, he looked around and came back to me with two: a 34A and a 34D. When I told him there was no possible way those would both fit the same person he said, ‘At least I got her something this year.’ I would have liked to see the look on her face!
Ø I worked at a lingerie store and around Valentine’s Day it was crazy busy- mostly with clueless looking guys. One time when I came in for my shift, a guy was trying to undress the mannequin and was having a panic attack because it was the only size left in the store.
Ø We use to have two customers who we knew frequently car pooled together. When one of them decided she didn’t have money to give her for gas, the other responded she was going to set her house on fire.
Ø When I worked at a casino, we use to have a lot of fights over the slot machines. I once witnessed a lady pee her pants because she wasn’t going to “give up” her slot to a lurker that had been scoping it out.
