Where do you all work? any funny work stories?

[Lavndrdream]

I work at the Circle K (made famous in Bill and Ted's Excellant Adventure--or something like that) I love the job.

The funniest thing that happens is when people confuse me with my coworker and ask me when the Baby is due. We look similar in size, build and coloring so it's easy to confuse us if you don't actually look at us. I have to tell them I'm not pregnant and they always get that "Oh F**K" look on their face. It's hilarious!

I don't have a job anymore, I'm actively looking though. ._.

I was working at an Eye Care place as a receptionist as a temp trial for 5 days (Full Time), but I was let go cause I wasn't "energetic" enough. -.-

Hopefully I'll get a job at Sonic, the place I applied to.. Or another receptionist job.

[Lavndrdream]

I hear Sonic is hard to get hired on at...at least it is here. They have a low turnover. Good luck to you though! I know it's tough finding something, though I think things are getting better.

Ugh. x.x I wouldn't say any of my work stories are funny.

I come home like... hating myself everyday. I despise my job. It depresses me because customers are such assholes, and I get shoved in a hole to deal with the worst end of it all freaking day. Like FEXING EH DX

I work in the fast food industry.
Their excuse is that I'm better at that station than anyone else on my shift. Well, that's fine for rush. But when it's quieter? They're just too lazy to switch around their floor plan. Maybe other people would be good at it too if they fexing switched it around and got someone to practice in there?

Some of the managers I don't mind cause they know how dealing with piece of shit drugged up fucking drunk assholes all day stresses me out and makes me angry... so they try to pull me out of there. Others? Can go to hell. Seriously.

And like... I can't win in window weather-wise either. I'm always wearing a jacket. It's either too cold for me... or it's too sunny so I have to cover up anyways so as to not get a sunburn. Damn things hurt you know? I'm ghostly pale for a reason. My skin is quite sensitive to sunlight, they just dooooon't care.

Oh well. When the wasps that I'm allergic to come out, I'm not staying in window position only to get stung and rushed to a hospital. I'll tell them to screw themselves, and not to put me there or I'll walk out on them. They tried to pull that crap last year too. Didn't fly.

And in the winter when we deal with our savagely cold weather? I was stuck in window for six hours straight aaaaaaaall the time. Got mild frostbite a few times. You would too, if it were -50 degrees celcius with the wind. Don't try to tell me that's not possible to live in. I've put up with it for 18 years. There's just nothing you can do about your hands when you're working in drive through. You can put on a jacket, but gloves will just make you drop money.

I was not pleased. And because of it? I'm not putting up with much more. I'm not afraid to walk out on a shift if people are being assholes. Not afraid at all. I'm not dealing with wasps again. x.x Noooooope.

I work at my school's dining hall. It's a pretty cool place and it's right outside my residence hall so I don't hafta walk far.

As for funny stories... Hm... Only one that I can recall.

I usually work the dish room at the dining hall. Dirty work, but it keeps you busy and it's mindless enough to where you can daydream all day. Well, one day they decide to put me at the ice cream bar! Oh fun. All day, I was forced to wait on every little Fratty or Sorority Girl that so much as looked at me. The work requires you to listen, so no daydreaming, and the questions, OH THE QUESTIONS THEY WOULD ASK.

"Excusemeeeee."

"....Yes?"

"Like, what's in the fudge ripplllllleeee?"

"....What, seriously?"

"Like, yah."

"..."

"..."

"...It's fudge."

"Like, is that all?"

"...YES. IT IS FUDGE."

"Like, you sur-"

"FUDGE. IN A RIPPLE FORMATION, WOMAN."

Good lord... Anyway, the day was mostly like that until I start getting bored. And when I start getting bored, I like to have fun. And... well, I started SELLING the ice cream. Like Billy Mays, I was PITCHING THE ICE CREAM at people as they walked by.

"Excuse me, good sir, could I interest you in some fine frozen dairy product?"

"Pardon me madam, but would you like some cold confections? I believe them to be DELICIOUS."

"Step right up and get your marvelous, fabulous frozen treats right out of the space-age, ladies and gentlemen! That's right, it's ICED CREAM."

Ohhhh, I got looks. I got funny looks, but from what i saw, noone was getting pissed, so I was doing okay. And the fun wasn't over yet, oh no. A few hours later I got a particular customer.

"Hey, man, can I get two scoops, one strawberry, the other chocolate?"

"....Why stop it there?"

"Wuh?"

"Why, sir, you could have as much ice cream you like! Don't just settle for two meager scoops!"

"Are you su-"

"SIR. YOU COULD HAVE ALL THE ICE CREAM."

So we went on like that for a bit and he finally left... with a STACKED-UP-TO-HIS-HEAD-TWELVE-SCOOP-CONE. Hehehe! You should've seen the looks.



...They've never let me work the ice-cream bar again.

[Nemui]

Jintiuroh: oh that would have been so funny to watch.
I would have loved it.

Me i havent been in work for like 4 months now.
no i was not fired.
im on Pregnancy leave.Well the baby is here but
im still on leave.

so at the moment i cant think of any funny stories.

[Mika]

Haha, that's one way to get out of dealing with customers. XDD Pretty great.

I would have told that one chick that you know how you don't want to know what's in SPAM, just eat it anyway? Well... Fudge Ripple is icecream SPAM. BUT SINCE YOU ASKED, this particular pail is protein enriched by means of embryos. Kitten Embryos.

Omfg eeeeeew what's an embryoooo...

.... never aspire to become a scientist, and you're stupid if you can't figure out I lied to you. STUPID QUESTIONS STUPID ANSWERS. It's fudge, dammit!!


.... Or I would have LOL'd, and been like, kay funny. Do you want it, or do you want something else? Hurry up before I call next.

[sweet]

[Gadzook]

I have a funny work story...

I was working a crappy minimum wage job a Dollar General with a guy who is soooo gay and if you even say boobs he blushes...lmao. Well you know those dispensers that hang off the edge of the isles that have the mini hot sausages?... Well we were sitting in the office and I heard a strange noise. I pokes my head out of the office and a sausage had popped out... I ignored it at first and told my co-worker I would dispose of the weiner later... Obviously he blushed so bad but we went on with our work in the office... Well about 2 minutes later, we heard a loud crash. I ran out of the office and the dispenser had split up the front and dumped all the sausages all over the place... Well me being who I am, I couldn't resist taking another shot at making my co-worker blush, I ran back in the office with my mouth agape and said "OH MY GOD!!!"...My co-worker said "WHAT???" and I yelled " THERE ARE HOT WEINERS EVERYWHERE!!!" He still won't look me in the eyes... LmaO

[Vickicat]

I work in a psychology office typing notes and filing charts. It's an okay job. It's part time though so I don't make as much money as I really need to. ._. There were a couple of funny instances at work but I can't tell any funny work stories because everything at my job is confidential. D: But there aren't a whole whole lot of funny things that happen anyway. Much of the time I don't always even know what's going on or what other people are talking about because they speak in Spanish or half in Spanish and I can't tell what they're talking about so I don't really pay attention. >_>

I am currently without a job. But I used to work in a few different fields. For instance, I used to be a zookeeper.

The zoo where I used to work was small, as was the staff, so we all got to know each other. We got to know little quirks about each other and poked fun at little things that came up.

The founders decided to go on vacation (Which was sorely needed) leaving the managers to keep an eye on things, and us.

One day a group of keepers had decided to see how many times they could startle the manager. I had been taking care of the indoor domestics at the time, so I didn't see what had happened. But out of the blue came a startled yelp. At first I had though someone had hurt themselves while cutting the meat for the big cats. Thankfully laughter followed.

Apparently, one of the guys that work there had decided to crawl into the meat rack and waited until she passed by. It seems that she wasn't expecting something to come out of the locker holding trays of bloody raw erm.. cat food.

[kaishi]

I work at DOLLAR GENERAAALLLLL.

A lot of stupid funny things happen every day. Mostly stupid. Mostly I just laugh at everyone who comes in because I am a snob. A SNOB, it's true.
I just want to say that I really hate people who have EBT cards (new food stamps, if you don't know). I mean, I have nothing against people who genuinely need it and come in to buy food. BUT.. I can't tell you how many times a day I ring up like $30 worth of only chips, sodas, and candy just to have it paid for by -- OMG ... ME!!! Yay taxes!! YAYYYY!!! 8D I had this lady come in and practically throw her ice cream at me, then come back later and buy more, all with her EBT card, all while being VERY rude. I am a little bitter. These people all have nice cell phones and manicures but tax money has to pay for their fat butts to get gobs of snacks!? Get a freakin' job. I work my butt off and I can't buy that many snacks, wtf.

I'd never eat that many snacks, but still.

The end :D

[Tsemara]

(Geez, the nerve of some people.)

In another job profession, I was working in the restaurant business. I was the assistant chef. It wasn't really a big deal, seeing that there were only three of us.

Anyhoo, this particular gem happened on an April Fools day. Seeing that I enjoy wearing costumes, I had decided to buy a prostetic that looked like I had my face shoved into the grill. Then I put it on before heading into work.

It looked like this. http://mithlycos.deviantart.com/art/Grilled-96757618


For a while the only people that saw me were the staff, though the fellow that delivered the meat completely freaked out. He was halfway to his cellphone to call 911 before we stopped him.

There was enough of a lull for me to help out with bussing tables (and show off my stuff). There were a lot of people that wondered if what they saw was a product of their drinking. A couple asked if I was okay. All in all, it looked very convincing in the dim lighting of the main dining areas.

Success!!

Haha kaishi xD

So far my favorite story was probably Gadzook's. The hot wieners.. xD

Really a funny 'work' story of mine [I dont have a job sadly >_>]was when I was helping my neighbor out at her gelato/bakery shop. I was helping her decorate 300 cookies for some breast cancer event and she started talked about my brother who actually works there. And she told me she absolutely loves him, and he's one of her favorite people. Why? Because he's such a grump and it entertains her.

That had me laughing a lot.
And what she said if very true, he's very very grumpy and normally takes it out on me :]

Plus I got 15 dollars, a free soda & coffee and half of a really good cookie for putting fondant on cookies and putting them in plastic bags. It wasn't that hard but I had to get up early and work for three hours with a couple of strangers. [x.X] That part was iffy at first, until this one chick came in and my neighbor told me how she spent all of her extra money on her paycheck for clothes and booze because she was a big party girl, and the girl agreed xD

[WhiteRiver]

Heh. I work in a lab, feed a couple of million cells each day and then proceed to harvest them. A friend of mine finds it terribly funny that I get excited about 'looking at pieces of dirt under a microscope'. I'll post when I can recall something funny that isn't overly technical *headdesk*
