“Worked as a student in a bank-agency.  Once, a customer wanted to enter, but one can’t just walk into a bank, you have to ring a bell, and have an employee open the door for you by pressing a button under the front desk.

Long story short, he rang, all employees were busy, so I went to press the button. I check under the desk, shit, 3 buttons.

The man was looking at me, looking pretty pissed by the waiting-time, so I just press a random button.

Turns out it was the motherfucking alarm button.”

“I incorrectly labelled about 30 pairs of shoes as being $80 instead of $150. That was not a good day.”

“I work at a pet store. I accidentally threw a snake away. I was cleaning the bedding and didn’t see him buried in his blanket.

I dumped it. 2-3 days later my department manager brought it back to me after finding it in the receiving garbage. Somehow I didn’t get in trouble. Snake was fine.”

“I was working in a sterile hood when a massive sneeze hit me out of fucking nowhere. The force of it caused me to duck my head under the hood and blow mucus everywhere inside.

The whole lab froze and eyes slowly rolled my way in disbelief. I contaminated every sample and they had to call in an outside company to resterilize.”

“I used to work at Chuck E. Cheese and was taking a pizza from the kitchen to the customer. At the time, it was extremely busy and there were little devils running everywhere; and this lady was at the far end so I had to zigzag through the games to get to her. 

Well turns out there was a 2 year old kid crawling right in front of me. I tripped on the kid, the pizzas went flying and hit another kid, and both of the kids were crying because I stepped on one and nailed the other with pizza.

After about 45 minutes of parents yelling at me, they pressure my manager to fire me. My managers a cool guy so he said no, but he pulled me aside and told me he would have to pretend to go bat-shit crazy on me to make the parents happy.”

“I used to run charges on credit cards as part of my job at a bike parts vendor. One day I mistakenly charged a bike shop over $1000. It made the owner of the shop go over their credit limit and get a bunch of fees. I was fired soon after. The only job I was ever fired from.

I later moved to the town where that very same bike shop resides. I spoke with the owner and mentioned that I had worked for the vendor long in the past. She told me in detail about the time that her card was charged by accident. I feigned ignorance.”

“I used to work manufacturing large televisions. The company had just received a shipment of 50 104” screens from a vendor. A brand new employee was charged with transporting and stacking them. Just as he stacking the 50th screen it slips out of his hands.

It falls and shatters all 50 screens. In his first 4 hours of work he manages to destroy more than $2 million in material and set back production by weeks.”

“I got bored at work and I stapled a cell phone battery. It spewed out battery acid and then exploded. My manager was dissapoint.”

“I worked at a car dealership several years back. There was a new mechanic who was there barely a week, and tasked to go fill all the brand new, top of the line, biggest diesel trucks on the lot.

Diesel.

The guy filled all the trucks with regular gas. At the gas station down the street. Then drove them back to the lot.

He was fired pretty quickly after that.”

“I used to work as a maid in a motel and our usual supervisor was out sick. The person who took her place that day mixed ammonia and bleach in a window cleaner bottle and poisoned me with ammonia chloride gas fumes when I sprayed the bathroom mirror.

If the maintenance man hadn’t come by and found me unconscious,it could have killed me. For several months after I had respiratory problems,vision issues and a lingering burn in my nose and throat.”

“I didn’t see it in person, but there was a video I saw on Reddit fairly recently where somebody emptied the used deep fryer oil into a plastic bucket. Needless to say, it didn’t hold.”

“A guy I worked with got fired from his 120k a year job because he was stealing juice from the stock room.”

“One time a member of my dev team was given a task to cancel a few credit cards (less than 10) directly in the database.

They cancelled 17 million, the mistake was only caught when the company helpline started to receive millions of calls the next day from all over the country with people asking why their cards were not working.”

“One of my coworkers in a marina was relatively new. He didn’t ask if the guys boat took gas or diesel and he just handed him the diesel hose. I noticed around 250 gallons in that it was a boat I knew took gas. The boat owner was cool about it he paid for the diesel, the fuel pump out, the gas, and even tipped the guy. Could’ve been a big disaster, though.”
