Silliest thing you've done at work...

[soma]

Ordered a taxi for a transvestite and told the taxi company it was for a Mr……
Didn’t go over so well

[MissMarz]

omg this thread rocks!

[b0ld]

at work we decided to "clear" our bosses desk and put everything in a box and put it over at his "bosses" office all at the same time his boss left a note on the monitor as well as an email for him to come see him.... Good god Colin was in a state of confusion and all.... Once when he found out what we did he told us "I'LL GET YOU SON OF A BITCHES BACK ONE DAY YOU WAIT!!!" (in a joking gesture) however he has since quit the organization.... fun times...

Silliest thing I have ever done at work? I dropped acid one day at work. I handled it all pretty well untill it came to having to operate the forklift.

Climbed out the driver side window of a Volvo, infront of a customer because I couldn't figure our how to open the door.

1. Last Winter I had the Brakes die on my Baggage Tractor and I smashed through a Snow Melter Shed.

2. Drove a Lantis Loader to the Mechanic Shop while it was smoking and burning off Coolant/Hydraulic Fluid and the Engine blew.

3. Pushed back a 767-300 with the Wings awfully close to the Vehicle Corridor... apparently People were driving under the Wings.

4. Bumped into a Plane with a Lantis Loader. Good thing those Rubber Pads are on the Deck.

5. Dropped the solid Steel Tongue of a Dolley on my Toe. Big ups to Steel Toed Boots.

[LLaaUUrrYYn]

I cant really think of anything super funny..but sometimes when my boss would call..I would accidently answer the phone with the greeting from my other job. In three years I probably answered the phone like that 10 times..and all those times it was my boss who answered...no call display either..total fluke.

Thank god she loved me and could laugh about it. =D

Haha, that is pretty embarrassing!

A few years back I was the lube-tech at a dealership. It was snowing and the lot was covered in ice. I came around the corner in a customer's vehicle after servicing it and because of the ice (and yes, maybe a bit too much speed) the back-end slid out on me. I slid for a good 20 feet before coming to a stop inches from another parked vehicle.

I parked the car and went in to the waiting area to give the customer his keys. As I hand them to him all he says is "You're lucky" as he smiles and walks away.

hahaha that was my old Job at Boundary Bay.

So here it is since you mentioned it.

Imagine a Ford L7000 with 6,500L of 100LL Octane Aviation Gasoline on 2-wheels.

Yeah.

It's not as cool as it sounds.

It is also bad when ur chatting and you think the milk is done steaming and you attempt to take it off the steam wand. You get milk sprayed all over ur face and it scare the shit out of you. In general I have this problem with speaking before I think. At work a couple of weeks ago we were listening to the shaft theme song in the morning and what do I shout out without realizing "There's nothing like shaft first thing in the morning!". My coworkers laughed at me for the whole day and luckily none of the customers in line had sick minds like the rest of us.

haha no.. lucky for me i was in the Okanagan on vacation to visit family and to go to shambhala.. thank god cuz i work in IT, power outages are pretty much your worst nightmare from a systems standpoint.... the funny thing is.. I think my karma got me for saying "suckers!!" the same day the town I was in lost all its power for a good part of the day due to the crazy forest fires, somehow the main power-line was severed... that was a crazy summer

[Séguin]

What are you talking about!? Man the blackout was so awesome! I was in Ottawa (and Quebec still had power). Everyone was making beer runs to Quebec. I think we were out of power for like 2 or 3 days.

[Dean]

Beer fights are regular occurances at my work

haha yeah well i guess it depends where you were living.. people in the burbs with houses enjoyed the peacefulness from what I heard.. no work.. BBQ's etc... others didn’t enjoy it so much... my buddy told me stories about some of the stuff that happened in his building... no water pumps.. which means no flushing toilets.. no elevators... many elderly folks got stuck in the lobby with no way up until the power came back on.. etc

[P.A.R.T.Y]

Where to begin:
1. Showed up to work at Mulvaney's really hung-over.:hungover: I had a table of like 8 French-Canadians, so I brought over their water, all 8 cups at once on 1 tray. This is fairly easy task when your sober, but I was in a stone cold sweat from the night before. Well, I approached the table and reached over with the first glass and while I was leaning over all the glasses fell on the women I was serving.
She was covered in freezing water and was absolutely pissed, swearing at me in French. Fired a week later.
2. I worked at Carlos and Buds (under the Granville st. bridge) I was a rookie in the kitchen, fry section. Well, it was my turn to clean the deep fryer, so I drained the oil and just as it was about done a big flame hit the ceiling. I forgot to turn off the pilot light and the resin on these massive fryers ignited. Someone through a bucket of flour on the fire, but the whole staff was pissed. They gave me another chance, but the next day... They decided to power wash the kitchen floors, it was really nice, no more sticky floor. Then they asked me to drain the oil again. I turned off the pilot light, drianed the oil into the big pot, and cleaned the fryer, no prob. Then I lifted the big pot of oil and damn if it wasn't heavy, I dropped it and all the oil was on the freshly cleaned floor, burned some guys foot too.
Fired the next day.
3. Worked at Dairy Queen and took a small bite out of every dilly bar I made. Never got caught.

[DJMaciek]
