I had to go to the returns desk yesterday to decide what to do with a drill that a customer was returning. While I was there, an employee came up to the desk and said, "My job sucks, can I exchange it for a better one?"

If only it was that easy.... We'll all be exchanging...

Why, Ed! I'm a little surprised you didn't come back with somethin' like...

"So, kinda bored workin' over there in the Shop-Vac sales department today, are we?!"

Oh, when I read the title I was hoping that there was a story of some wild event..... Drunk secretary, angry animated customer, something wild. Like the time we were moving all the portacans away from the building so we could swing the crane over that area. We were using an all terrain extenda reach fork lift to move them. we knocked on all the doors and no one answered so we began moving them. After moving one to a new location a poor fellow came blasting out of it with his pants part way down.

OK, I'll play. One day, we found a partly opened blister packed item in one of the back aisles drenched in blood. Of course, we were delighted that a scumbag shoplifter got what was coming to him. Next day, the cheeky buggar had the nerve to come in and complain about getting his hand cut open.

Nothing to do with work, but when I was a wee kid, there was one holdout out on the edge of town who still didn't trust indoor plumbing and had an outhouse. Some of the rowdy kids took up running out of the woods on halloween and dumping it over and once, they dumped it on the door while he was inside. Next year, he moved the 'facility' up some 20 or 30 feet and didn't fill in the old hole. On halloween night, he hid out nearby to see what would happen. The kids all fell in and he said later that he learned a few new words while they were climbing out.

I heard a story recently , this guy had delivered a portable toilet to a job site and after going inside to use the toilet he fond that the external latch had jammed and locked him inside .
Fairly noisey work site and couldn't attract any attention so had to ring his boss who drove 50k to let him out and it was a stinking hot day ... funny once freed but not funny ... mobile phone to the rescue.
