And here is an email he sent to our salesman the other day:

It got pretty heated, eventually one lady just walks away, looks at me and says very loudly "WOW, what a bitch." There was immediate silence in the offense after she said it. I know the other lady def heard it too.

There was also one day where our secretary received a call that her house was on fire. She was flipping out screaming at the top of her longues. A group of people had to take her out of the office (her house received minimal damage).

Nothing too crazy, but that whole altercation made me wonder if anyone has any type of crazy office stories. It's always interesting to hear about the unprofessional shit that happens at work.

(insert cool story, i voted, gfy, etc comments)

Screaming at the top of her longues? Lol

So, a couple guys I work with and myself decided we were going to make a little extra off the company, so one of them wrote a program that would draw a very small amount of money out of the companies account and put it into our accounts. Unfortunately, my co-worker screwed up the program and it started drawing way too much!! I thought for sure we were screwed, but luckily the building ended up burning down, and we were safe from prosecution!
So you're a thief ? Can't imagine I'd ever steal from my job

Many years ago I had a boss who most likely was going to fire me on a Monday after some shit that happened the previous week but he had a heart attack over the weekend on his boat at Lake Erie and died. Needless to say when we all came in on Monday the shit from the previous week was pretty much Pg. 2 news. My buddies still tell the story about how I told his widow at the funeral "how much 'Ol Bob will be missed by all of us" .

Our office is kind of close quarters. We have one person who never is quiet. She will constantly talk to someone no matter what they are doing. One hour before deadline or something...and there she is mentioning how she just saw online that the Ethiopian Prime Minister died (this happened five minutes ago). No one fucking cares!

Ooohh...now she's trying to tie this in with the Book of Revelations. Kill me now.

At the place I worked before, I was working late (~8:30ish) and I decided to grab a snack out of the fridge. Walked into the break room and turned on the lights. One of our secretaries was riding one of our graphic designers. I simply apologized, shut the lights off, and went back to my office. No snack.

Actually, I think I told the story on here when it happened.

A famous serial killer's stepmom used to work for my company back in the 80's prior to my arrival. That's the extent of "crazy" around here.

I work out of one of the call centers in Jacksonville and on a Saturday a few years ago there was a turd, yes a log on the rep floor in the middle of all the cubicles. To this day it is still a mystery. Did a girl wear a skirt and just drop one, did someone roll one out the pants leg??? No one knows, no one has fessed up but we still laugh about it to this day!

Very. It was an odd couple, as he was a shorter guy, slightly overweight with glasses and tiny eyes. Cool as hell, but odd looking.

She was a former model, and I think she is doing some local modeling again.

What's her name?

Also, there has to be more to the story. They never came to you and asked you to keep your mouth shut?

I'm not sure she'd like me saying. We're still friends, but if she ever found out I spilled it here, I'm pretty sure she'd be furious.

She did. Pretty sure he wouldn't have minded if I'd told everyone but the boss.

Eh, I prefer to have the only male anatomy involved in something like that, nevermind that I was already married at the time. To each his own, though.

One of my coworkers chopped his uncle up, stuck him in a barrel and then took off with all his money. They caught him and he committed suicide in jail.

What is really funny about that story (at least to me) is that when they hired him, they also hired another guy. The murderer was the nicest guy you ever met, but the other guy they hired that day scares the shit out of me. I know he's going to blow up the building one day. He has serious anger issues.
