She almost got me fired because she wanted to find the weakest looking guy to be her little errand boy. When I told her politely to go screw herself, she told HR that I had been taking work out of her queue in the system. It wasn’t a very good lie though, because why would I want to do more work than I have to? I even said this to HR in the disciplinary meeting.

Not as bad as some, but I’ll never forget the 22ish year old girl who spent hours of one shift telling me, with no prompting at all, about how she used to be a raging heroin addict but she was over it now and had become extremely religious.

She went into very explicit detail about her drug deals and the things she’d done to get drugs. My shy homeschooled ass was stunned. The very next day she got fired for stealing 20 dollars from the cash register.

Had a colleague who genuinely enjoyed seeing people not do well and enjoyed when people felt uncomfortable. She’s very manipulative, and is actually quite good at it.

She would ask you questions and sympathize with whatever you’ve got going on, only to turn around and tell everyone what you just confessed to her.

I worked with a guy who was constantly touching his crotch area. We nicknamed him The Toucher. Someone had a chat with him about his touching and from there on out he would have these weird hand spasms whenever his hand would get close to his groin, like he was getting shocked from a collar.

Had an assistant who plotted to get me fired and take my job. Some of my workers let me know because he tried to get them onboard with him. Eventually, due to politics I was demoted but asked to be put on the shift relieving him (we would work 12 hour shifts on weekends).

After being relieved by phone a couple of times (against the rules) I intentionally came in 4 hours early and he was no where on site.

I still got a call from him when he should have relieved me like he was still on site. I let the guards know and they videotaped him and I got him fired.

He told the General Manager that he might be a bit late for a shift due to his second job. When the GM reluctantly said OK, he apparently took this as thinking he had free reign to come and go as he pleased.

He’d show up anywhere from 7:30-8:30 for his 7:00 shift. Then when the doors closed he’d insist he had to “head out” and he had an early morning the following morning, leaving everyone else to do the closing work. He also had other issues like being rude to customers and other employees.
