Dumbest thing you ever saw a coworker do at work

During my 2012 Afghan deployment, there was this one dude that was having issues with his wife. Didn't get into what their issues were and stayed in my lane. However, the dumbass made threats towards his wife through e-mail on a government computer. Not the smartest dude i ever met.

I worked in an industrial building where everything except the washroom and reception area was 600V 3-phase power. Some dumbass decided that he needed a computer in the shipping area so he jerry-rigged some adapters together and plugged his laptop in. Not surprisingly it exploded and went up in flames, and let's just say a lithium battery fire is no joke. Did I mention that he had his laptop sitting on top of a stack of wooden skids? Half the building burned to the ground and the company went out of business thanks to that dumbass.

I was going to laugh but then I got upset 😡
 
was putting wood to steel for an elevator shaft. Furing out the steel frame with wood, it was me and one other guy on a thursday and I had to leave early. It was shitty work using redshot and drills. Anyway somehow after I left the other guy had put up a board above his head atop his neck and one below trapping his neck in into the shaft and manged to fasten each one before he realized he trapped himself.

When I came back the next morning he was still trapped there. After that we called him Shaft, because he shafted himself by getting himself stuck in the elevator shaft framing.

I also worked Security

Old Nigerian fellow called the police and said he was dying

Turns out he just had really bad diarrhea, poor cleaning ladies man, you couldn't pay me enough to clean up that mess
 
Another fun one. Working at a seafood distributor. Buddy was having to load pallets of salmon filets to the top row of racking. I shit you not, over the course of a shift he dumped 8 pallets lmao. In a busy, order picking section of the cooler. Amazingly enough no one got crushed by falling filets.
 
Shit, same place. 2 dudes were always fighting over product cuz ea one picked for one of the main large grocery chains. So whoever got there first was good, the other would potentially have to wait a couple hours for the item to get processed. One day one of em snapped. He raised the forks on his lift just about chest high. Got a full running start, and slammed into the other dudes lift lol. Never got to ask him what he was trying to accomplish lol
 
A kid in high school I knew took a bubble bath in the restaurant huge sink where we worked washing dishes by near the chefs space back in the day shower cap and everything scrubber and had to stay there doing it until the boss walked in where everyone punched in to start work .

Someone paid him to it though so not sure if that counts ? I have a lot of stories on this subject and I only had two jobs that was the first one .
 
At the military hospital I work at one of the cooks was caught stealing. They even had special forces come to talk to him and give him a warning. Anyway that idiot kept on stealing. Then one day they caught him stuffing raw steaks into his large jacket. They called special forces to be there when they caught him. Right when they came he ran to the bathroom and locked the door. Would not come out. Dude was trying to get rid of the evidence by flushing it down the toilet. I guess he clogged the toilet so he tried eating whatever he had left. He ended up choking, passed out and was admitted to the same hospital. Got fired and banned from the base. I don't think they arrested/charged him though, maybe because he worked there for so long and was a 100% service connected veteran. Dude was in his 50s too.
 
Worked one of the best jobs for my trade in the country. 200k job. Piss testing for drugs.

.. and guys would still smoke pot in camp and try to hide it for some reason. They’d throw away 200k a year to sneak a joint. I always found that super dumb. I’m not anti weed at all but you know the rules and people get fired for it all the time.

I set my whole life up from the money I made doing that job. No way was i throwing that shit away for a joint.

I'll start..

I work security part time and one of our guards liked to pick up chicks while he was working security. He would ask girls for their socials and numbers, one shift he was working security at a homeless shelter. Then our management gets a call that he was caught by one of the shelter employees having fun with a homeless drug addict chick. Nasty shit.

He wasn't fired but we banned him from that site.

I got lots more working security... half of the industry is full of wanna be cop idiots who cross the line and do shit that get themselves trouble with the real cops.

good thread. man, i've got so many examples haha, it's hilarious. brings back some funny memories:

- at one job during covid i knew of a guy working in the mobile device department, who would show up to work for 30 minutes every afternoon and leave. then one morning, the vp of his department arrives needing help with his phone and can't find him. by the time 1pm rolls around, there are like six top people around the guy's cubicle. he finally shows and has classic deer in headlights look. they bring him into a room and five minutes later security arrive and take him out. dude was crying and everything.

- at another job, a security guard got fired for following one of the workers home. i guess he had a crush on the woman or something and she complained, and he got the boot.

We had this guy at my previous job who worked for a third-party company that would show up smelling of booze and would flirt with the hobo ladies. The day he got fired he showed up a little to tipsy infront of the boss and the boss kept asking if he was drunk 🥴🤣

Did the boss call him a Taxi? years back we had a supervisor and a lead get in big time shit because this guy came to work drunk so they told him to leave but let him get in his car and drive away. ha ha I guess in the moment they didn't think of it but that is knowingly putting his life and other potential lives in danger. that's a tough one..

I got to watch a girl with a huge ego and a clipboard very rudely tell the $200 million net worth owner of company to leave his lavish fully funded by him private party because he "wasn't on the list." He paid her salary actually as well as every single person there that wasn't an attending guest. He was real classy about it but it was glorious to watch unfold. He was approached by lots of very apologetic higher ups and that was the last we ever saw of her. I didn't want to go but that was def worth the trip.

Watching a person go on a power trip acting so unnecessarily rude and unwittingly dig her own grave. I knew what was happening but she had no clue.

No, they told him to go home because he was stressing about his wife and later took off. Next day he got a dui when he rear-ended a car LOL
 
When I used to work in kitchens one time I saw a new hire cook himself a steak dinner and a lava cake and pack them up to go at the end of his shift.

If he had just sat there and ate them, he would have got a talking to since technically we were allowed to eat one meal per shift but it was understood you didn't eat stuff like steak and ribs etc. There was no hard rule against it though and he would have gotten a warning most likely.

But there was absolutely no taking food home. It was like his third shift.

I interviewed a guy once who came in dressed up like a gangster with his hood up and kept his hood up the whole interview. Interview didn't last long. I'm sure he chalked it up to racism when he didn't get a call back.
