one time an old boss of mine was standing on top of a ladder yelling at the crew that we needed to pay more attention to our work and work safer...as he was telling us this he started to put a 3 1/2 inch screw into the cieling...only problem was his hand was up in the cieling and so he screwed his hand to the cieling

probably, I have never seen it happen personally, but congrats on the find. I hope to someday be witness to the rare phenomenon of the nasty coworker getting fired.

I work in a sub shop at a major supermarket in Florida, one day I got this customer that came right up to me and started telling me what he wanted, while I was cleaning off the mess of the previous customer.I had politely asked him to wait until I was ready to give him my attention. He kept on telling me what he wanted.I raised my voice and asked him Sir I need to clean off this mess, could you possibly wait for a moment until I have this area cleaned. He got obnoxious and accused me of not wanting to make his "effing" sub so stormed off and told my manager that I was ignoring him. I told the manager that I was cleaning the counter top and it was only 2 seconds before I was done and I got written up for not "paying more attention to the customer" \nI wanted to choke the life out of that customer.\nwhenever he comes back I always tell someone else to deal with him because I will go off on him if I am forced to make his sandwich.

well i'm thinking of telling my boss to turn the clocks BACK an hour tonight instead of forward... I don't have to work tomorrow!\n\nwe do food deliveries at the restaurant i work at.  one of our drivers is a nice kid, hyper but fun.  when business gets 'backed up' he gets a bit high strung.  how the system works is he gets a delivery bag with a ticket printed on the top with the order, address, and cost.  of course he was so hyped up he grabbed the bag and ran out the door to his car to take it... not knowing that we had printed up a ticket with the restaurant's address on it.  we put a few empty boxes in the delivery bag so it wasn't 'empty' and off he goes.  \n\nwe're watching him out the window as he leaves, zooms out of the parking lot, turns down the side street, gets about 50 feet... and stops.  he's looking around at the restaurant, the businesses next door, the house across the street, and we can see his facial expressions the whole time. finally he saw us looking, gives a big sheepish grin, pulls back into the lot and comes in.  opens the bag and finds a pile of empty boxes inside.  busted!\n\n"hey john, where were you going with that order?"\n\n"%*&$#&@ you guys!"

Yes, my ex boss was mean to me all the time. She used to yell at me and tell me that I needed to grow up. I used to get the blame for stuff that I knew that I had not done. And when I would try to defend myself she would say, "Well maybe you just spaced out from all the medication you are on!" And I am not on any medications.\n\nThere was also a time that money turned up missing that I honestly believe that never existed. My boss mentioned it in front of customers. And then in the end she fired me over it. I did not take it but in the end I had to pay that money back.\n\nMy best friend who still works there says that someone who once worked with the boss says that that they have done that to people before. And that the money was probably never there at all.\n\nOther people say that they probably did it for unemployment. Either way I had money taken out of my paycheck without my permission and I did not take that money in the first place!!! No police were involved in this or anything.\n\nI never did anything about it. I didn't know what I could do or that I even could do anything.

I own my responsibility and cite some thing that I could have done,or followed up on because I was aware of the situation, if the is an upset boss,peer or customer who had a bad experience,I do not want to be the irresponsible not me ,who waits for someone else to fix things, and usually irate people will immediately diffuse their anger and thank you for being the first person that accepted accountability for your job and took them seriously, in some situations,nothing destroys your credibility faster than passing the buck,my supervisors know they can rely on me to take initiative and behave like an adult,in certain substandard conditions\nif someone is trying to sabotage me ,I have a checklist,I follow to make sure my ass is covered and there is no valid complaint to be made,so I immediately call the person on their bs,inform my bosss that all my work has been done but someone it is not affecting is going out of their way to be unhappy with my prefomance\nif it is a ruthless corporation that breaks rules to your disadvantage,and holds you to high standards of accountability,and plays games like ignore all employee complaints and requests for help in unsafe conditions,then turns around and blames you for complicit guilt by not speaking up when they are busted or sued,then I have no problems covering my ass and getting a supervisor to assist me in writing up my boss or the powers that be for failing to respond appropriatley ,to a matter that I am willing to accept no responsibility for ,should the matter come to court one day.and yes,I had to do this twice and I had to report medicare fraud to the state authorities,that whistleblower bs idealism goes out the windows ,with certain ruthless corporations, because shit rolls down hill and you are the first scapegoat, they would fire and try to get out of paying unemployment benefits in a heartbeat,unjustly\nif you have a strong work ethic and your superiors trust your integrity and you mind your own business,and let miserable people have their angry moments by refusing to take their bitching seriosly or laughing at their ridiculous behavior because you refuse to let someone manipulate you with your misery and you are for the most part pleasant occassionally it is okay to boldly confront an asshole by calling them on their bs and refusing to accept responsibility for this bs ,you can even get away with loudly almost yelling at your boss who comes to sqaush a public blow up by stating you put up with all kinds of bs and still do your best without whining but this is just ridiculous bs that you will not tolerate and are offended that you are not recieving the professional courtesy you deserve,I did this two times ,both times ,the accuser or implier got reprimanded or no support because the boss knew someone has to be very unreasonable and crossed one line too many to get a rise out of me or other employess like this\nif the accuser is male and yelling and you are female,then you must immediately yell,curse back and hurl the blame back at this person and storm off,because some guys are just weird that way and will not respect anyone who won't push when pushed back or stand up for themselves,and this blow up must only happen one time and eventually you become allies\none of my coworkers taught me these tactics on how to survive in hostile environments,or individuals

it depends on who is talking stupid. ur boss, then just listen and show him with action. ur close ones, communicate, yet nothing,then avoid or turn deaf ear. ur lover , talk it out , no yield, let go of him. someone u dont know much, then dont care at all. the important thing is  what u think of yourself, trust me , no one other than u on earth know exactly who u r.

Not bad at all where I work, but then again almost all our bosses are totally cool. But I've been places where people flat out tell their boss "F--k You", and nothing happens to them. Weird....

Getting very drunk and calling my boss an idiot to his face and then proceeded to tell why he was an idiot.  The people around me told me to stop but I was on a mission that night and let it all out.  I then apologised and kissed him on his bald head.  Too embarrassed to go in the next day.  But he forgave me and I still work for him.  We have a pretty good working relationship.

OMG the funny memory this question dragged up!\nThere was this obnoxious guy that kept groping at my ex-bosses grand-daughter in the bar.  He could not take a hint.  Anyways, we were out with some friends of ours, one of whom was an off duty cop.  We escorted the pig and his friend out of the bar and I must have been feeling invincible with my cop friend and swung at the guy hitting him square in the face.  I dont know who was more shocked, me, him or our friends.  Anyways, his friend was dragging him away as my friends were holding me back.  I can't imagine what on earth possessed me to hit the guy (rum maybe???) but I am glad everyone else had enough sense to let it stop there.

I'd rather work with bitchy ones, because I can always be bitchy right back.\nStupid people are stupid... nothing will change that. Used to work with a complete ditz. I got so frustrated with her I almost hit her once. She was completely clueless. I ended up having to explain everything about 4 different ways before she understood. Then it'd turn out she was all confused. It drove me nuts.

I can totally relate to what you are saying. I live with the same type of thing every day, unfortunately the person in question is my boss. Sometimes I think if I let loose one day the consequenses might just be worth it. Horrible, I know, but this kind of person can cause the most severe and aggressive frustration! My advice is to avoid him as much as possible, which is what I do with her, but should you happen to proceed with a physical confrontation I admit I would find it comforting to know that at least someone had some consequence for their constant crap behavior and maybe will think twice about it in the future.

Many, many years ago, I once had a boss tell me that he expected more from his better employees than his slackers.  Not fair, but I can understand the reasoning behind it and I also think kinda the same way because some people have more talent or abilities than others and more should be expected of them. Boy, I'm going to get into trouble for this!! What I liked about him  was that he was honest about it.  \n\nNowadays, it seems we have to be careful about everything we say. Where is this screwy country headed? Things like the above could be grounds for a lawsuit I suppose.
