Your best work stories

[Benjamin]

A little place for all those funny work related stories that have happened to you.

-inspired by Doogle getting a new job and me talking about my mine-

Dropped 20 pounds worth of milkshake mix over the floor, the box just fell out of my arms, went everywhere...

Sometimes, then you get nights full of douchebag customers who I swear are the most retarded people ever. Like when you tell them to be careful as the plate is hot when you put it down the first thing they do is reach for it and burn themselves. I feel like screaming at them 'What did I just say you ****ing pleb?".


That will happen. :devil:

-remembers the first time I dropped red wine all over some lady and her handbag (was awful) and the time a fried egg slipped off the gammon I was taking to a table and into a lady's handbag and she never noticed and I never said anything, hehehehe-

Ahh and the time I tripped on a step and went stumbling, saved the plates and kept balance but the peas from both plates when catapulting towards various tables.

Ahh and the time I kicked open the kitchen door to take meals to a table and didn't realize a lady was stood the other side and smashed her in the head full force with it.

Oh god I have so many tales. :laugh:

When I worked as a teacher in Germany there was always something funny going on. Some personal highlights:

- I told a colleague that I had a really cool landlord who brought round a fried egg for me. I meant mirror. The words are really similar :(

- I told my boss I had taken illegal drugs for my cold. I meant medication. Woops.

- One time I was waiting for a class to show up (turns out they didn't have a lesson and no one informed me - that happened way too often :bored:) in an empty classroom and this teacher came into the room and told me to get out, I'd never seen him before and he obviously thought I was a student, but I just left the room without saying a word and went into the staff room, and about a minute later he came in too, he looked absolutely mortified :laugh2:

- Apparently everyone had their own designated seat in the staff room. I didn't know this. The number of times someone would come in and ask me to get out of their seat was ridiculous in the very beginning, so I took to spending break times in the staff toilet... LOL

God I don't even know, there were so many moments, I'll have to think about it later.

When I was a cashier I used to get into arguments with so many customers. Once a crazy old man freaked out because I asked what kind of potatoes he had, and he thought I should have asked what kind of potatoes he had PLEASE :crazy: so we spent the rest of the transaction yelling at each other. It was kind of funny though because he called me hippie eurotrash which makes no sense? Didn't get fired for it though because he beats his wife and everyone hates him :cool:

I once murdered my customer for being a *******ing bitch and I made the chefs cook her into a Thai curry and watched as her family obliviously ate her wondering where she was.

Another time the store was extremely busy and I was doing about 3 jobs at once and a customer told me to "stop being worthless" and serve her at the till. I was initially gonna lose my **** by I saw that she was buying a ton of catfood and a meal for one so jokes on her. :idc:

Last weekend I was on the phone to a customer with the surname Doak, it was saved to our system, so I said "is that a delivery for Doak?" "Yes." "Okie doke." The girl I work with then nearly spat water everywhere and I realised what I'd said so I started to panic/tried not to laugh but I was so distracted I then said "what can I get for you this year?" Omg I wanted to die, hahahahahaha

Lol... When I worked for the AA I overheard my boss calling a customer Mr *****... I held my laughter in until he was gone and then explained toy boss that "Hauer" is not pronounced *****
