16 Internet users shared the most unusual situations they have ever witnessed in the workplace

Working as a freelancer certainly has its positive sides, for example being able to control when to start and end the work day. On the other hand, these professionals are often deprived of one of the main characteristics of permanent employment — live communication. And along with that, you lose the opportunity to experience unusual stories and epic situations that only those who deal with other people in person at work can know.

We, from incredible.club, we found several reports from Internet users about the strangest and most hilarious situations that ever happened at work, and we selected the 16 most interesting ones to share with you. Check out!

“A customer broke this doll at my job. Colleagues said the boss would make me pay for the part because it happened on my shift.”

“I put it back in place as if nothing had happened. I love my job”

A Lesson for Those Who Think Fractions Are Just Back in High School

I worked at a department store. One time, a woman came to my register with some pants marked a third off their value. But luckily for her, the parts were coming off at half the price on the system. She, however, was not happy about this and insisted on taking the one-third deduction that was marked on the part and not the system. I called the manager and the woman insisted that the one-third discount was greater than the half discount, because the number “3” is greater than the “2”. By this time I was struggling to contain my laughter, but luckily I managed to keep my composure. It was then that I made the mistake of trying to lighten the situation by making conversation. I asked what the woman’s profession was, she was an accountant. © Megan Molargik / Quora

Here’s proof that having breakfast before going to work is essential

It was a Monday and we were all gathered in the boardroom for the weekly company meeting. I don’t eat breakfast before I go to work and this has never been an issue. But on that fateful day I started to feel pain in my stomach. I still went to the meeting. Before wrapping up, the senior manager asked if anyone still wanted to share anything and the room went completely silent until my stomach rumbled loud enough for everyone to hear. I was so impressed that I let out an “Oh my!” in front of everybody. My manager continued, “With that, we conclude our meeting.” © Vanya Rajput / Quora

“Last week a customer drove his car right into my office wall and just drove away”

When asked to do “just a little favor” at work

An angry woman burst into my office yelling, “Do you do ultrasounds?” I replied no and forwarded it to the correct location. Five minutes later she returned, pushing open the door with her foot and saying, “Cute, could you take the exam?” I replied: “I am a psychologist”. And she: “Go, please!” © Sshamamka / Twitter

“At the hospital, the laboratory assistant left her cell phone in her lab coat, which had a flower print”

“When she was loading the x-ray plates into the device, she received an SMS and, because of the radiation, the print on the lab coat ended up being marked on that plate.”

Is there any way not to be ashamed at work’s end-of-year get-togethers?

Just when everyone in the office forgot that I slow-danced with our CEO — which is pretty strict — and I promised eternal love to the chief accountant at the company’s end-of-year get-together, the next one is coming up soon. Would it be better if I didn’t go? © Podslushano — Here they talk about you / VK

“A cat came into our office. The work stopped, because everyone went to pet him”

When jokes become a part of everyday life at work

We have a very strict rule at the office: cell phones must be on silent mode at all times. If during the day someone leaves their desk and leaves the phone in sound activated mode (and it is precisely on these occasions that someone must call or write to you), we hide the device and play Hot or Cold with its owner. The office is big, it can take a long time to find. After that, people always leave it on silent. © Podslushano — Here they talk about you / VK

“A colleague dropped the LEGO Titanic the night before its showing”

The bones of the manager’s trade

When the hardest part of the job is learning how to email

The company had to disable the Reply All button on corporate email because of employees repeatedly failing to differentiate between the “Reply” and “Reply All” options. A colleague once sent a chicken soup recipe to everyone instead of just her friend. Another employee was secretly dating a woman in the Human Resources department. Everyone found out about it when he wrote to her saying he missed her “soft touch” and accidentally hit the “Reply All” button. He received several emails in response, and the phrase “soft touch” became a running joke around the office thereafter. © John Ukah / Quora

The definition of “live music”

My first full-time job was at a fast-food restaurant, and my colleagues and I enjoyed making up songs while working in the back of the kitchen. We knew customers could hear if they listened, so we sang softly. One time, our manager came up to us and asked us to tone it down. We continue to sing, but with an octave lower. He rolled his eyes. © Mike Bowerbank / Quora

“My zipper broke at work right before some important meetings”

Proof that even the toughest bosses have feelings

After doing a work inspection, I got so depressed that I asked the managers to step out of the office for a bit. But I actually crawled over to my desk and sat there for like 15 minutes. I felt so much better. I’m a strong, strict boss… most of the time. © Podslushano — Here they talk about you / VK
