Not really a crazy story, but two ladies in my office were arguing about something in particular. 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 lungs. 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)

My boss does or says something idiotic almost daily. He told my coworker that he went to a nude beach one time but that it was okay because he "didn't get an erection".

I used the phrase moot point the other day and he then proceeded to say it to a customer, but he said mute instead of moot. He literally had no idea what he was saying, he just used it because I did.

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

".you..were sent.updates yesterday. Did you not get them did.you hete of any problems. Did anyone call ypu with.any problems. ???? Also everyone of kieths emai ssys he is out of the ofgice. But. Just incase you did not get your e mail yes drivers got loaded marion.delivered yestetday am houston
will feliver monday. When they load at 6 pm the driver looses a day."

Kill me.

I don't have any great stories, but I just wanted to drop in and say how much I despise office "email culture."

I really enjoy when someone calls me out on a "mistake" and trying to get cute via email while CC'ing my boss and other members of my team. Then with a little research/backtracking (usually taking no more than 5 minutes) it turns out that the accuser is the one who missed something or made the mistake. I love calling that shit out...absolutely love it.

Also, I still deal with people on a daily basis via email that do not know the difference between your and you're.

lol, I have a friend who texts from his car with the windows down and the radio cranked up and he doesn't understand why his texts always come out like shit. I didn't understand how he could send such shitty texts until I was in the car with him when he sent one and I thought wtf, now it all makes sense.

I used to work for a tech company, and I absolutely hated my job. My boss was always on me trying to make me work weekends, and bitching about useless reports. 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!

And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...

A few months ago someone in our marketing dept had a panic attack and had to be driven home. He was always weird, acted like he was cracked out and in my dept we'd joke around that he was on something. Shortly after his breakdown I received an e-mail with a couple links to the Charlotte & Myrtle Beach PD and it was his mugshots. Over memorial day weekend he got caught with coke, weed and ecstasy in Myrtle and then two weeks later he got busted for coke and weed in Charlotte.

I work for a major insurance company handling the staffing for our call centers across the US. 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!

On two occasions at different businesses where I've worked some black lady started screaming out loud about Jesus and waving her arms in the air.
