Confessions

BY MARK WILKINSON
I’m sure we’ve all had times when we aren’t too fussed about our jobs anymore, or maybe we’re just feeling a little rebellious and want to do something standoutish.

But these people really take the biscuit with their stunts.

From pretending to be dead, to disgusting managers, we’ve found a good few stories from people who have done bad things at work.

Check them out:

  • A sea of whiteness

A few summers back, a first-shift parking attendant was bored so he decided to park all of the white cars on the third floor of a gigantic garage.

The unfortunate second-shift attendant had to stay late helping people find their cars in a seemingly endless sea of white vehicles.

  • Food thieves, they deserve it.

Someone in our office kept eating other people’s food, so two of my coworkers ate half of a pizza before scraping the toppings off the other side and replacing the marinara sauce with spicy sauce.

Then they sat back and observed, and the guilty party eventually ended up running out of the kitchen crying with their mouth aflame.

Food never went missing again.

  • The living dead

My roommate had a girl call in dead to work. She was too hungover so got her roommate to call her boss and say she died in a car accident.

Everyone on her team thought she was dead for four days until she turned up the following Monday as if nothing happened.

She didn’t get fired and works in HR.

  • Gross…

My co-worker accidentally blended his Band-Aid into a smoothie.

Our boss had asked the dude to wear a glove, but for some reason, he didn’t… The poor customer had already [drunk] almost half the drink before she found out.
