I worked summers at a high end golf course and my boss was really
strange. He would stare at you without saying a word for several
minutes and he had a really pronounced crossed eye so you weren’t
quite sure if he was staring at you. He would also watch soap operas
in his office with his dog.

One week we were really short staffed and super busy so I forgot to
put a tee marker (one!) back after I mowed the tee boxes. Well he
caught up to me as I was heading to mow the back nine holes. Our
conversation:

Boss: Hey you F***IN’ forgot to put the tee markers back!

Me: Uh sorry man.

Boss: Well we can’t have a F***IN’ idiot working for us!
(I had worked there for 4 summers as a model employee)

Me: Well I’ll tell you what, that back nine is gonna be perfect.

Boss: Good.

Me: You wanna know why?

Boss: (strange look) Why?

Me: Because YOU’RE gonna f***in’ mow it!

With that I got off the mower and sauntered across the course on my
way home. He just kept yelling “Hey, HEY, HEEYY!” I didnt’t even turn
around.

For several years I worked at a small and local trucking company,
rating shipments and always working with the customers to get them
the best deal possible. One day, one of my customers told me that he
had given one of my drivers a few bottles of wine for me and my boss.
A couple of days pass by, and the driver tells me that the boss took
all of the wine for herself, saying that it was “her” customer and
“her” company anyway.

A couple weeks go by, and the same customer felt bad that I didn’t
get any of his tasty wine and sent the driver with wine specifically
for ME. The boss noticed the wine in the back of the truck before the
driver can get into the office and let me know of my present. When I
asked my boss why she was taking something that someone had given to
me, she reminded me “who signs the paychecks.” I kept my mouth shut.

After that incident, I began chatting with my customers more about
their products, knowing that they would likely offer me samples or
gifts, but to my surprise many of them already had mailed or sent one
of my drivers with things- specifically marked for me. I never
received anything. Eight laborious years working for this company,
building the customer base and keeping customers happy, I can’t
imagine how many gifts she intercepted and claimed for herself.

I always wondered why my boss was adamant about picking up the mail
herself, or immediately checking out a driver’s truck when they
returned to the yard. It should also come as no surprise that she
lost a lot of customers after I resigned.

I worked at my college’s cafeteria a few months back. After we closed
down one day, one of my coworkers was looking for our dishwasher. So
he asks my boss, “Do you know where Mike is?” and her exact words
were, “Oh, he’s out back, beating off the rugs.” My coworker and I
could barely contain ourselves at that point, and it took her a
minute to realize what she’d just said. When she did, she told my
coworker to just go start the dishes till Mike got back. As he was
walking away he asked her, “You want me to beat them off, too?”

I worked as an IT help desk tech for a small architecture firm.

My boss was a scatterbrained ass. I have so many stories about the
crap he pulled and his firing that I’ll be happy to share with you.

At one point he sent me on this impossible quest to find a
mini-firewire cable extension for his tablet PC’s DVD drive.

A couple of months later he gave me his notebook w/drive and told me
to reinstall Windows and assign to a user as he just received his
new one.

He left me alone in the IT room as he and my coworker went into the
server room to redo some network cabling. I opened the DVD drive to put
in the WinXP install disks only to find a porno movie in there. I
believe it was “Anal Times 2″. I quickly shut the tray, but then
thought that maybe I had imagined it because that doesn’t happen in real
life. I opened up the tray again and there it is, with some girl smiling back
at me as two penises share her anal cavity.

I walked into the server room giggling like a 8 year old who farted and
said “Boss, you left a movie in the drive.” At first he gets a puzzled
look but then sees me holding back my laughter and says “Oh, shit!”
Runs out and gets rid of the DVD. My coworker looks at me and says
“Porn?” and I shake my head and go into the IT room.

My boss says “I trust this won’t leave the room” and I told him it
wouldn’t. Of course his wife worked for the company so it was a few
weeks before I could make eye contact with her again.

I work for a woman who makes the movie ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ look
like a dream job. She has used her father’s connections, her looks
and possibly sex to move herself along the company ladder. Now in a
management position, she spends her days on the phone with family and
friends, has weekly hair and nail appointments and works out with a
trainer all on company time. She uses gift cards and gift
certificates that our company has in trade like her own personal
spending acccount. She walks around the office every morning and
expects us to compliment her on her outfits and if you don’t tell her
she looks nice, pretty, etc. you get the evil eye and are on her shit
list. If you are not dressed to the nines like she is there is a
TON of snide remarks. She told a co-worker that there must have been
a HUGE sale at Wal-Mart because so and so finally wore a new pair of
shoes. The person in question dresses quite nicely and I’m pretty
sure not even her underware comes from Wal-Mart!

If you have a problem and report it to her (she is the manager) she
treats you like an idoit. My favorite quote “I don’t understand why
you come to ME with customer problems, there is NOTHING I’m going to
do about it! I hired you people to deal with such trival things!”
Mind you she has to sign off on certain things we do, but we are
supposed to handle trival things on our own. She is the last one in
the office in the morning and recently screamed at me for leaving at
5 o’clock. I told her my hours are from 9 to 5 and her reply, I’m
here after 5 most days obviously you lack the dedication I have for
this job! Ok lady, you also come in around 9:30 and somedays leave and
are gone for 2-3 hours getting your hair done, but I’ll sit around for
awhile with you for free!!!

I work at a popular fast food restaurant as a manager. A fellow
manager is probably the nastiest person I’ve ever met. I honestly
don’t believe he showers. He has even admitted that his children have
been sent home because they stink! Not to mention he is constantly
farting when he is right next to you or walking by. One day I thought
he actually crapped in his pants it was so loud and made me gag!
He is always sticking his pens in his ears and then looking at them
to see what sort of “treasures” he can dig out.

Since we are a restaurant there will be a few crumbs on the prep
table and everytime he walks by he will scoop a little pile into his
hand and pop it in his mouth like its not a big deal!
I hate working with him because I always feel like I’m going to vomit
by the end of the day!
