When I used to work in a warehouse in college on swing shift, we had a golf cart used to run between the two buildings. My friend and I used to go nuts with it. We'd take it out in back of some other company and do donuts in the gravel, we took at out onto an expressway and drove down the side. One time I tried to drive it over a curb in the parking lot and into the ivy. I managed to get it stuck in the damn ivy. I had to walk back to the warehouse in the rain, get the forklift, and then go lift the damn golf cart out of the ivy.

VNC into my computer over an SSH tunnel. Yes, I am paranoid. The proxy only sees work-related sites and a steady trickle of SSH traffic.

bogged several utes (one about 12 kms from the farmhouse, it had to be the one without the two way :| )
drive the front-end loader into the tip
drove a ute in 5th when the hard-facing on 5th was gone, causing it to disintegrate and destroy the whole gearbox (not my fault tho')

that's about it so far thankfully

We used to put a small amount of dry ice in 2 liter coke bottles, along with a bit of water. Screwed the lid on tight and throw them in the dumpster and sit back and watched the sides of the dumpster bulge when it would explode.

Warmed up a sandwich in the toaster over, forgot to take the wrapper off. The fire took a lot of explaining.

one weekend, there were just two of us in the office. the other person I was with was sleeping / snoring loudly. I had a friend call up the office, pretend to be the CTO, and claim that he was watching my coworker sleeping over a hidden camera. my coworker was pretty convinced that he was going to be fired until I started laughing

Worked at McDonalds as a kid. A rude, annoying, heavy set woman threatened with the infamous, "You lost my buisness, I'm never coming into this resteraunt again!"

I replied, "Can I get that in writing?"


Had a long talk with the boss on that one.


I told off a customer and told him to leave when I working at Wendy's and my boss thanked me for it. He said it saved him the trouble.

A buddy of mine was working the cash register when an ex employee came in and started swearing at everyone. My buddy decked him.

On July 4th back then, I went to work even though I wasn't scheduled. We pulled up chairs and a case of beer on to the roof and watched the fireworks. I remember the guy on the drive through register was drinking vodka all night and could barely talk to customers.

That job sure was fun. ;-)


Sounds a lot like when I worked at Radio Shack. Crappy work, but we made the most of it. I also had a tendancy to drink too much and hit on customers when they were decent looking..... (suprisingly it helped business. the older ladies loved it)

"Dumbest" thing? Well, recently I microwaved peeps at a client's office to see if they would explode as I had been told. No exploding peeps, but they do expand quite a bit. Small bit of entertainment for bored office folk on a Friday afternoon.

Went sliding down the aisles covered in sand on cardboard. I was the only night stocker at a grocery store, many many moons ago. I was waiting on my pizza to finish cooking in the oven.

I used to work at Loew's Theatres and we'd go up on the roof and have javelin contests with the dead florescent tube lights. We also shot put the dead bulbs. In the theatres we would hammer throw the kiddy seats...whom ever reach the furthest aisle won. Good times, good times...
