“I delivered pizza for Papa John’s for about four years.
He got lost on all his runs, even basic short hops down major roads.
… After a few days of this, the manager finally decided to let him go.
… She got a restraining order on him, and we thought that was that.
Fast-forward a month or two.”
I am walking out the front door with a big delivery.
I instinctively track left to follow them, but they don’t go where I think they should be.
The car slams into the front floor-to-ceiling windows and through the front counter.
The truck is completely inside the store when it comes to a stop.
Cops fly out and swarm the vehicle.
I hear screaming about a grenade.
Turns out my old coworker was severely off balance.

“I had a colleague who was married with three children.
A few months later, he told me his wife was leaving him for another man.
He was distraught but seemed like he was trying to accept it as much as possible.
A friend and I met him for coffee one evening and talked with him about his divorce.
“He confronted the boyfriend, then killed him with a gun, then shot himself in the head.
Thank God the wife and children were spared.
I’m still baffled that there had been no signs of what he had been planning.”

“At my first job ever, I worked with a coworker who did meth in the bathroom.
He had worked there for two years and never got caught.

He then placed the machete on the floor and sat down in a chair to wait for the cops.

“Back in the day where dial-up internet ruled, I worked for a large airline.
One of my coworkers would often work late, and apparently, he liked to surf porn.
“Anyway, he worked late one night and went about his (apparently) regular late-night porn surf.
He was especially fond of erotic stories featuring young Asian women.
and in his post-whack daze, left them on the printer.
Oddly, this didn’t get the gentleman fired.
The head of our department promised David that next time, he would be fired.
To go along with that, David was now under constant scrutiny.
This put a big damper in David’s private internet time, at least for a little while.
His desires had apparently shifted, and now young Asian women no longer sufficed.
His preferences had migrated to photos of barely legal Asians.
Our mutual employers desire to fire him was only equaled by their desperate need for qualified employees.
So, David stayed.
The head of the department told him that next time, he wouldmost certainlybe fired.
… David ended up working with a member of the IT department for the parent company.
The next time those parent company guys gave David any crap, he was going to show them.
As expected, he was just as abusive to David as ever.

He didn’t work there very long, but it made an impression… “‘Who was that?’
‘The one who carried the steering wheel around.’
THAT GUY!'”

“When I was in high school, I worked at Best Buy.
All of a sudden, the machine jams and starts making an awful noise.
The warehouse manager saw what just happened and lost his shit.
He came running across the warehouse screaming, ‘Did he just jump in there?
He did not just jump in there!’

One day he and another coworker quit to go traveling together.

“I had a coworker who got caught performing sex acts in the parking lot with his drug dealer.
It was her first and last night working there!
Poor thing it was also her first job.
The guy in the car performing just never came back in!”

“A nurse I worked with was found unresponsive in the bath stall.
This incident had clear indicators of IV drug use.
A syringe/injection set found on the floor, and blood was running down the inside of her arm.
It takes another month before the cognitive dissonance dissolves.
Extensive audits were done they were found to have diverted an estimated tens of thousands mg/equivalent of morphine.”

One day I go to give a break to a new guy.
The guy never came back.”

“When I was 14, I worked at a floral business who basically hired anyone.
My boss was fucking unhinged.
He had an incredibly short temper.
“He came storming into the greenhouse, red in the face.
YOU’RE FIRED.'
He wasn’t asking, he was telling.
He drops down and begins doing the fastest push-ups I’ve ever witnessed.
Boss never said another word.”

“I worked for a state agency about 20 years ago.
Fast-forward two years and our IT group reported him for having porn on his office computer.
I cant wrap my head around how he thought he wouldnt be found out.
Of course he was fired.”

Another coworker caught him USING MY COMPUTER.
He couldn’t even use his own computer to do it!”

“I will never forget the day our GM almost got us shut down.
“I work at a printing company.
We often print on foil paper.
That’s aluminum foil laminated to regular paper.
On the press, the rolls spin pretty fast and are up to five feet in diameter.
They are essentially massive, 1,500-pound capacitors.
One guy stands there holding his hand to the roll as it spins and waits for an unsuspecting passerby.
He literally has a bright lightening bolt shooting from his fingertips.”

“I work in a fairly large factory.
This one guy, upon getting fired, rode his motorcycle all around the shop floor.
The shop foremen chased him around for, like, 10 minutes before he finally left.
Pretty epic goodbye, I’d say.”

“I used to work in a big factory.
One guy got fired for missing too many days.
There was a rumor going around that he was going to streak through the factory floor.
