Where do you all work an any funny work stories you guys have??
I have been with Wal*Mart for a year and 6 months..funny yeah.. but you know I dont like the store at all but its the only store around here thats doing business right now an they spend 2 million dollars on a remodel thats going to be done like 10 more days. We got a 2x larger electronics section and 75 freezers in the food department with more more food its not a supercenter but it looks like a larger walmart taking out the bakery an anything else we have soo much food now, because those departments are the big money making departments so they made them the only two big things in the whole store. All the other departments got moved around so they arent where they used to be, some departments got shrunk like fabrics and crafts, some of them got less aisles like my toy department thats where I got moved to work. I used to work in toys at my other walmart before i transferred to this walmart here to live with my boyfriend out in massachusetts. So they put me as a cashier and i worked as that for eleven months each month they promised to move me but couldnt they had to wait till the person who was in toys moved so he moved to electronics which is like level 5 an you get a dollar more pay then what you get on the floor. So I moved over to toys finally when I opened my mouth talked to the boss an the assistant manager and now I have the toy schedual. I love it! Its less stress then being cashier where they yell at you an tell you to red line. augh!!!! so now i can do whatever i want, i can clean when i want, i can help people when I want i have to wear a walkie talkie just to hear if there are any calls on my department, which now they made a new rule you can only page becuase they got in trouble for paging over the intercom because of the noise of the store cuztomers wanna hear their 'music' an cuz of noise pollution.
And so I dont have to do much but i get payed a little higher then the minimum wage cashiers do because I have been here longer. But its good because i get alot of hours an no one is getting laid off an i hope to god now. but there are alot of funny stories an since i work in toys an had the experience from my last store I know all the latest toys that come out an everything..

haha im sorry for ranting but yeah thats what i do, how about you guys where do you work??

I'm a dog groomer.

I've gotten SO used to being bitten, clawed, kicked and head-butted that I don't even notice.

A few months ago me and my boss we're grooming a mutt, not a very big one but not small and it was freaking out about the water so I was re-straining it so she could soap it up.

I glance at her and she's staring at me in shock. She reached forward, takes my arm, and pulls it out of the dog's mouth.

I was completely covered in blood because the dog had been gnawing on my arm and I didn't even notice.

I work at the college of veterinary medicine at UF. I'm just a clerical slave, but I love my job. Sadly, they have to get rid of my position in August, so I might be trying to nab a job at walmart! Dratted economy!

The best 'funny' story is when we all brought in waterguns. The office was soaked for a weak! Our boss told us not to bring in any waterguns after that... wonder why

Sorry it's not more interesting, it's still early and my brain is fuzzy!

I have no job, so I have no stories to tell you. D;
Although I occasionally run into my mom's office.

Currently right now, I work within an office environment. x3 So I'm pretty much at the computer for the majority of the day. And nothing fun ever happens here. At the other dept I work at, it does since they deal with the public, and the public are rather hilarious with their different preferences and opinions.

But I did used to work at gas stations and truck stops. And I do miss working there. I had -so- much fun interacting with different customers, and getting to know people on a first name basis. It was always a laugh riot, but right now I can't remember any particular stories right now. x3

Fallain -- Oh dear! I hope everything healed up from that experience. o____o

I've just started at Marks and Spencer and I've already heard so many tales lol.. I'm hating working on the tills because I make so many errors if the transaction isnt just a simple buying process.
Vouchers I can deal with. But when someone walks up to me wanting to pay off their credit card even though I've been shown I'm just going to be like "UMMMM... what.. the.. fudge... D:"

Gawddd.

[Fallain]

Yea, i'm fine, thanks ^^

I've been doing this for 2 years now and the only scar I have it actually from the only cat we ever groomed. They have those hooked claws and it sank them into me. My boss was trying to pull it off the WRONG way and it ended up ripping through the skin and I had to get 2 stitches. We don't do cats anymore.

We're a mobile business though so we work in a large bus with a tub and everything in it. So to get the water out, we have a hose attached underneath that we roll out a window. Well one day I was holding washing a dog while my boss was clipping it's nails and I just happened to look down to see the hose still rolled up but inflated full of water like a biscuit. So I panicked and went to get it out the window- as SOON as I touched it, it flung itself un-rolled and went RIGHT in my face with dirty doggy water.

The funny part is, my boss was laughing at me. Well then she went to put it out the door but the steps were wet and she fell down them and busted her butt.

All in all, I kind of work in one of those places where if something funny happens, it's causing someone pain.

Except for this one time I kissed a dog's nose and it yipped so it's owner was screaming that I was "torturing" her dog. THAT was just retarded.

I've got one about someone falling down stairs too, I work at an aquarium and right now we're pretty much dead and there's not usually anyone in the building except for us that work there. Usually we just sing to each other through the walkie-talkies but today my friend who is also the security guard decided to steal the shark's food and throw it at me which got all over the floor and stairs, which caused the girl that runs the "classrooms" to fall all the way down them. Lucky she likes us and thought it was funny too as long as she got to dump the rest on his head.

Well on the naval ship I am stationed on a co-worker of mine 'shakes women to keep them in line'.

We're in the yards right now for repairs and alterations so we all have to wear hardhats and safety glasses. Well... I'm talking to some other people and he suddenly comes up behind me and starts shaking me! (Don't worry, it's cool. It's all a big joke.) And while he's shaking me my hard hat falls off, bounces on the deck a few times toward the safety railing, bounces through the two horizontal bars of he safety railing... and over the balcony to a lower level.

Everyone was laughing so hard that I had to add the effect of making it look like the water bottle I had was shaken out of my hand as well. (I dropped in on purpose tho...)

Fun times... fun times..

[KeinLeben]

lol damn. My friend once picked me up and held me over our 2 story shark tank as a joke because I can't swim. That wasn't funny though I almost cried

I work in a care home for demented old people.

Of course, with demented people, a lot of funny things occur, but I have this oath that I am not allowed to tell anything private about them, so i dont think I can really share. =/

I don't have a job now, but I did use to work at Wal-Mart about three years ago.

Currently, I work at Jimmy John's gourmet sandwiches. Our sandwiches are really good, and my favorite is a vegetarian (it has cheese, avocado, and a bunch of other vegetables) on a lettuce wrap. The lettuce wrap is pretty cool because we use actual lettuce and put all of the sandwich ingredients inside the lettuce and then wrap it all up. As far as anything funny going on, we always have something funny happen. I can't remember any stories right now, but I do know that I'm always laughing about something at work. Also, we always have to greet the customers when they arrive and leave. It's all fun stuff at work, unless I'm working with a certain someone.
