Bizarre Work Moments Shared by Managers Who've Seen It All: '[She said] she couldn't touch any meats because she vegan'

If you've been doing the whole employment thing for a while now, you've probably learned that some days, the weirdest mistakes end up getting you the boot – not always the big ones. Back when I was a waitress, I had a really awful coworker. The kind that barely pays attention to their section of the floor and certainly doesn't have the presence of mind to help out with yours during rush hour. He was always trying to find a reason to take a break or sit around, but the straw that broke the camel's back and got him fired was, weirdly, when he forgot to wipe down just one of the tables in his section during a rush. I've forgotten entire rows of tables before, and nobody even blinked. But honestly, no one was really rushing to defend him.

In this thread, managers spill their all-time worst employee blunders — the kinds of stories that make you salute HR quietly and go hide your lunch in the trunk. So lean back, maybe lock your work-computer screen, and scroll on for some wild, messy, and absolutely legit workplace tales.

$He was called out on it, the policy was explained over and over. He got written up. He was told that on the next infraction he would be fired. And he did it the very next day. Was totally blindsided when we actually fired him.$
