Does anyone here have any bad work experiences?

Since I work at a funeral home, I have to do pick ups at night. I just had to go down to the office and straighten up a situation where I was dispatched mistakenly. The bottom line is, I wasted 90 minutes arguing with nurses and I get no pay for it because no pick up was made. AHHHHH...

Let me see..

The first time you've vivisected a rat it wakes up on you as you're shoving a gigantic needle through its heart into its aorta?

The morgue door banging in the middle of the night

Running out of beer?

One word: Tax season..

Hey whoa, I thought you got activated.

How about this:

I work for a midsized international company.

The stupid yanks have used a lot of bullshit and stuff to get the webserver hosted at their location.

A week after the transfer of the DNS records the server got hacked.

It was running on an NT4 here and on a DMZ and a bunch of other security measures.

They transferred it to a W2K and applied SP2 and joined the AD and just left it.

They took the server I had a responsibility for, I have kept it safe secure and updated for a couple of years. Now according to the stupid asses I should help them setting up the server, patch and stuff and keep it secure.

Hello assholes when you host a webserver it’s your fucking responsibility to keep it secure.

The nitwits did’t even put any ACL on the logfiles so now they can’t tell who did it and from where they came. (logfiles got deleted!)

Ahh well I chewed their stupid asses off good in a tele conference the asshole responsible for the move got canned.

God thing the VP got upset and saw my point.

Sorry for the rant...

Hah, work related horrors...

Thirty minutes to show and the remote truck is still feeding! Suddenly you have 20 minutes to cut a story and you're crashing that donut harder than ever...that happened to me like once. Not pleasant.

Then in my old job you had the occasional stupid or irate users. I got bawled out by a dude with a dead disk. This is a reminder to back your shit up, people.

Long story....
*ahem*
Ok, it turns out they activated me by mistake. Apparently there was a personnel mixup of some fucked up kind. They informed me of the error 2 hours before I was gonna board the ship that would take me to Iraq. Freaky huh?

I guess around 30 people ( estimated ) took it upon themsleves to make a mess of the bathroom clogging all the toilets with shit and smearing it all over the entire bathroom on my first day of work at a fast food place around my house. This much poop couldn't of come out of one person... but one person ( me ) had to clean it Yeah... that experiance was pretty bad

Did you huck a steak at them in your anger?

You want work related horror stories, Work and manage retail for a while. Here is web site showing the wonderful world of customers..http://www.customerssuck.com/main.shtml

The N00bs in our computer center want to "hack" a problem rather than do it the way it is supposed to be done. This only causes more problems down the line.

Their latest, and definitely not greatest, screw-up was that one of them switched one of our mail servers to "open relay". I could have smacked him for that. We then proceeded to get black listed at ORDB and a few other places. It took about three days to get taken off the black lists because of that dumb work-study's error. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Yeah but no more April 15th screaming

I know...I hated that day.

Anytime I have to tell a Father picking up his child's certificate that he's not listed on it. Which means, legally, he's not the daddy, and can't have the certificate.

Anytime I have to tell an aunt/uncle/niece/nephew/cousin/friend/neighbor that they can't have the certificate they want because they're not immediate family members. And I don't care if they're living with you, no guardianship papers, no birth certificate.

Anytime I have to tell a sweet little ol' lady that we dont' have a copy of her birth certificate on file, and she starts whimpering about needing it for SSA.

Good news then

Several years ago when i working for a political party in their drop-in advice centre i was helping a collegue fill in a DLA (Disability Living Allowance) form for the parents of a severely ill child. I was observoing because the party wanted me to learn how to fill in these forms and do the course on them in the NI Law Centre. THis kid had every thing wrogn with him, he was allergic to sunlight, he had brittle bones, hayfever, diabeties. My collegue turned arround to me and infront of the kids 6 ft 7 inch 250lb father and asked me if the kid went by the name lucky. I had to act fast to stop my smart ass collegue getting a large foot inserted in his ass.
