What is the most wildly inappropriate thing to happen at your job?
About 30 people at one of our other offices were gathered to watch a Power Point presentation. The computer they were using wasn't working, so Kevin, the boyfriend of the (male) department head said "We can use my computer!"

They got it set up and plugged it in, and a big picture of Kevin popped up on the projector screen. He was butt-ass naked except for a cowboy hat and cowboy boots. He began shrieking "Turn it off! Turn it off!" but the damage was already done.

The meeting adjourned about 5 minutes later due to the inability of the audience to stop laughing.

7. I guess "appropriate" depends on the workplace...
However, I bet you could tell some stories. :evilgrin:

8. Rolfmao
:rofl:

Priceless. I don't know if I could top that. Well, I did work with a woman who was probably a nymphomaniac (really) and one day we were back in our dept. and they brought a temp worker in who was over 6' tall and really muscular. She seemed to get really agitated and then a few minutes later looked up at me and said "How come we never get anybody that looks like that sent back here to work with us?" I didn't think much more of it but then I found out that she had gotten a key to another building from another temp, and that night went and got him and took him off his place on the line and took him out to that building and had her way with him. The way they found out is there is an intercom system out there and security turned it on and heard them going at it. They fired both temps and she got written up, but they allowed her to keep her job. Several months later they fired her after security found her giving another guy oral sex behind a stack of pallets in the warehouse.

9. Oh, and for a bonus,
one of the project managers in another office approached one of the planners and his girlfriend at the Christmas party and proposed wife-swapping. :o

10. Someone posted an Onion article...
in the break room about a teenager that stopped masturbating long enough to rescue his family from a house fire.

13. My supervisor got totally knee-walking drunk.
He had only been in charge of my section for a few weeks.
Retired navy chief.
Not real bright, but seemed like a decent guy.
We usually had a few drinks at a nearby motel bar Fridays after work.
We invited him to join us.

Now we'd usually have 3 or 4 and get home in time for dinner with the wife and kiddies.
This guy proceeded to start slamming down Martinis and in about an hour and a half he was just smashed.
Started telling us all what great guys we were and how he knew he was a little slow in the brain department and how good we were all making him look.
And then he teared up and just started blubbering.

I knew there was no way he could drive home. I didn't want to take him because he lived about 60 miles out in the boonies and I lived 30 miles the other way.
I talked him into getting a room at the motel.
He said if I would call his wife he would.
I made the call and tried to pass it off as he'd just had a little too much to drink and it would probably be better if he came home in the morning.

And she said "DO NOT LEAVE HIM! He's an alcoholic and if you leave him there he'll go on a binge and disappear for days. He'll get fired from his job. He's done this before. PLEASE, bring him home!"

So now I've got ahold of the tar-baby.
I called my wife and explained the situation.
"And how are YOU doing?"
"I've had a few drinks, but I'm OK, really. I can't just leave the guy here."
(long sigh)"O...K..."

I got home about midnight.
We never spoke about it at work.

16. I think the manager who asked me to confirm out loud that yes,
she was masturbating in the office, so that her husband could hear it over the speakerphone, as she'd called him on the company dime while he was in Korea to get a little phone action, probably wins that contest.

The same manager was also banging a married with kids subordinate on the premises. Apparently karma caught them on that one though, she accidentally ruptured the cavernous bodies of his penis during sex, which apparently IS every bit as enormously painful as it sounds, and he had to continue to meet his wife's needs without letting on that sex was enormously painful while he was healing. I almost feel bad for him, the poor stupid cheating asshole.

17. A very frustrated admin. assistant, after his boss directed him to do yet another stupid task,
got into a shouting match with the boss in a public hallway and after it was clear that the boss wasn't backing down, the AA started ripping his own clothes off while screaming that the boss was an idiot. When he was stark naked he ran out the front door of the building. Needless to say, he never returned.

18. You mean other than the frequent lewd comments...
*My manager constantly publicly adjusting her boobs when "hot guys on motorcycles" drive by.

*Our swing-shift supervisor trying to sell our token African-American barista (Chris) to a customer.

*The day that I dropped $40 worth of cookies on the floor and found out later that one of my partners sold them anyways.

*The cashier who told an overweight customer who orders and drinks tall (12 oz) cups of heavy whipping cream that she hoped she had a heart attack...because she doesn't tip. (I wonder why. :-( )

*The customer who called me a "shit-headed-retard" for saying "Shoot!" in front of her 5 year old.

*The guy that asked Chris if gorillas are as big in person as they look on TV (because we all know that every African-American has been to Africa...)?

Other that those...probably the swill that sells as "Litenote".

P.S. I quit. If on1y | could bring m3 to do-it 4 realz.

19. A supervisor at an off-site meeting
Just remeniscing this yesterday.

One guy at work was promoted from the union to line supervisor. One evening we had an off-site management meeting. We are there in our shirts and ties. This guys shows up all gruffy and in his Harley garb already loaded.

After the VP finished his presentation, he opened the floor for comments. Dave wasn't bashful, offering that "this guy is an idiot, and that guy is an idiot, etc..."

He lasted about another year and that was it for him.

20. Of the many from my last job, I have two:
our part-time employee had had a gyn procedure the week before (had her tubes tied) and this was her first day back to work. Our boss walked off the elevator (and this is an open area to the entire floor, mind you), and grinned at her and said, "So, can you have sex again yet?"

Classy, huh? And this guy floats with all the big dogs in town.

Second worst was when he showed me a picture of him taking a leak from the deck of a friend's country home. Luckily it was taken from the back, or I would have walked out right then and there. And his friend? A former governor.

I love this guy dearly, but he is truly a jackass at times.
