Default Could I get fired for this?
OK, list your funniest "could I get fired for this" moment at work... don't make anything up, it's never as funny.

A long time ago at one of my first jobs in London, I went back to the office after a long night of drinking to pick up my laptop. I think the elevator made me sick, and I barfed... into the drawer of a nearby desk.

I remember coming in the next day and seeing the woman who worked at that desk sitting at a different desk telling her husband that someone had puked in her drawer. If I wasn't so hung over that morning, I'd probably have pissed myself laughing.

at my very first job i had a civic with cold air intake, z3 fenders, all the ricey stuff and i thought the car was the ****. we got caught racing right behind the movie theater (there was a long as stretch of road behind it) and basically the cop found us in the parking lot while we were talking about it and what not after.

basically, the cop asked who had the whiney ass civic and i raised my hand and he said that because my car was laughable he didnt tell our managers at work.

Work at a Western Star/ Sterling truck dealership and have Freightliner drop the Sterling name making you a dealer that has one line that has less than 2% of the diesel over the road truck market.

You can get fired for that. I am. Along with the rest of the guys in the shop and the office. Effective Dec 31st, 2009.

Merry Christmas.

When I first moved to georgia (six years ago) I got a part time job at kroger in the produce department. It was such a mundane job so I'd just start napping in the back ontop of the pallets. I got caught one time by the deli manager so after that I had to get craftier. So you know how watermelons come in those huge cardboard bins? Well I climbed inside one that was empty and pulled the top over it and went to sleep. I ended up oversleeping and the manager came in looking for me and I could see him walking around the department through a slit in the box. Well he couldn't find me so he decided to do what he came to ask me to do....which was to take the trash out to the back since the truck was in. Little did I know was that he was aware of the box I was sleeping in to be empty. So he threw the nearby trash ontop of it and slid in the pallet jack and brought it to the back and began emptying it. Once he started doing that I had no choice but to pop out of the box that had garbage on it to say... "Oh hey." cause I didn't know what else to say. He flipped his lid cause I couldn't come up with a better excuse than "I was sleeping in the box." so he sent me home. I never got fired though. Got written up.

Now I am a business owner and complain about lazy employees. [rofl][rofl]

Bahahahahaha!

And I thought I was bad for occasionally napping in the bathroom when I worked for KPMG during lunch.

I worked the deli. I was a closer. At night I'd sometimes hide in the freezer and slack off, munch product, whatever.

The one thing I miss about Kroger was the Gyros they started selling. They were actually quite good.

One drunken night the other guys decided that the "company dance" should be invented, which basically consists of holding your fists together and pretending to pump down on a typical cartoon bomb detonator (T bar handle thing) and running on the spot.


This was practiced thoroughly.


It was then enhanced visually by the use of Intel c2d promo cardboard boxes(looks like cpu box packaging but about 3 times the size) as "hats and shoes"


Then we invented to 2:30 song. Everyday at 2:30 Mr. Roboto would play.



A camera was installed in the workshop area shortly after that.

Oh man, the Gyros are awesome. They still have them I think. They're over in the prepackaged section. It comes in a box with the flatbread and sauce. And cheese too. I want some so bad. In fact... I might have to pick some up.

I worked as a pizza delivery driver. One time on a delivery I knocked on the door, and when it opened the person who answered it was about 60 years old, female on top and male on the bottom, and wearing nothing but ladies lacie underwear. [shocked]

I went back and told everyone we would no longer deliver to that house, and the owner (he was a friend) kind of laughed and didn't really believe me, so the next time that person ordered I made the boss take it. He soon came back and told everyone we'd no longer be delivering to that house. [rofl]

Not funny, but I punched a coworker at a company Christmas party several years ago and gave him a black eye. I gave him plenty of notice, I told him to back off several times and he didn't listen. The funny thing is that he was trying to calm me down. I didn't want to be calmed down. Anyways I was fearful of losing my job, plenty of people saw what happened but nothing ever came of it, no word was even mentioned. He even went to work with his black eye.

When I worked at staples.. idk like 4 years ago? We had to chuck this big ass display box that we carted around on a pallet. So we took it in the back and made a sled... We then promptly took turns sliding down the second story stairs on our sled until the manager walked in while my coworker was just sliding down the stairs. To our surprise he told us no fooling around on the clock and he wouldn't be responsible for us getting hurt. So one of the guys asked if we could do it after we were off the clock. His response was "not while ON the clock"

Needless to say the sledding continued.

I once gave an entire presentation with my zipper open.

In fact, the shirt that I had tucked into my pants made its way out of the zipper hole. My boss and his boss where in the immediate audience.

I've done that too! That general area was the focus of my presentation though.

I enjoyed filet mignon almost every night for the low price of $.49/lb.
