Odd things that happen at your job.....

A couple days ago a kid came in here with his girlfriend. The kid was white as a piece of paper and the girl was black as she could possibly be. He gives me a key and asks if I can make a copy and I say "sure can" and go to walk away when I notice the girl giving this look of puzzlement... so I pause. She looks at me and says "you can make NEW KEYS??" to which I replied "yep I can." she replies "well, am I going to get the old key back?" and i'm like.. er... "yes... plus the new one. for a total of two keys."
completely excited she hands me the keys and points to which one to copy. I'm cutting the keys, shaking my head when my coworker comes over and is like "what's up with that girl? she's crying..." and i'm like "wtf?? hang on" so i come back up to the counter and "confirm" that he only wants one copy and she's indeed crying, but she snaps out of it and with a huge smile and tears still coming down goes "can I GET TWO!???!" he says he only wants one, so I walk away.
I come back with the keys and hand him his keys, and hand her keys to her. I tell them that they're all set and there's no charge for the keys and she's got this completely shocked look, and he says thanks. Then she starts to look upset again, and i'm just wondering what's going on... she goes, in a bitchy tone "well, where's the keys to my car?" and I point to her hand. Then they just leave after a quick thanks.

sorry, that was a bit long.
Grant, Jack seems fucked!

we had an odd guy that came into Oreillys a while back.
He came inside and purchased 2 qts of Tranny fluid. He then proceeds out to the parking lot and pours the tranny fluid in his tranny. Leaves and comes back 10 minutes later.
I want to return these 2 qts of tranny fluid. The oreilly brand is crap and it caused my newly rebuilt tranny to leak fluid. I couldnt help but laugh and he got more angry and I told him to hold on I'll get a manager. Got boss man and he asked what the problem was and the guy told him the samething and he wanted a FULL REFUND! My boss said sir I cant give you a refund on 2 empty bottles.
The guy got more angry and proceeded to raise his voice a tad. Claimed that the tranny fluid is crap and caused his tranny to leak and how it isnt right we wouldnt refund his money and we were crooks. Well my boss was telling him that the tranny fluid would not cause the tranny to devolope a leak and he told boss man he didnt know SHIT about transmissions!! Boss man leaned over the counter and said excuse me sir.. The guy apologized about cussing and boss man said well if your transmission wasnt leaking before you bought 2qts of tranny fluid then why did you buy the fluid.. The guy paused and just left out of the store pissed. Everyone including employees laughed aloud!

One summer I was cleaning boiler's in big buildings as a summer job. This one school we were working in had 3 boilers in it. There were three of us; a technician and two summer job guys. Well the technician goes off to do the 3rd smaller boiler while the two of us were left working on two big boilers in the same room. Before he leaves, the technician tells the more experienced one of us (the other guy) to make sure to drain the boiler (we are talking six-ten cubic feet of water.) Of course the tech finished his boiler in about an hour while we barely got anything done. He walks into the boiler room and decides to open the cleaning ports at the bottom of the boiler (the water is supposed to be already drained via a separate system; the cleaning ports are literally 6 inch holes at the bottom of the tank.) Anyways, the guy I was working with forgot to drain the boiler and after a few seconds there is this huge bang as the massive cap on the cleaning port blew off, flew across the room and into the back of a busted fridge. The entire boiler drained onto the first floor of the school (during summer school) and the fridge was pushed back a good 3-4 feet by the water pressure. It was an exciting day... it was also the day I learned that a shop vac is really good at sucking up water.

^rofl.

I can do better though.

I may have already told this here, but here goes...

I was at work during the winter, doin my normal shit when this big flatbed pulls up. It has a giant safe on the bed.(about 5x5x6ft). well, apparently, my boss had gone to an auction and bought an old train safe from the 1800's. so we get this huge fucker inside, and into the main office(I work at a small shop that specializes in modding Z cars), and we try to open the doors.

no matter what we do, they dont open. soooo my boss goes down to lowes and buys a new high power drill, and those special carbide bits, hand me the set, and makes me drill out the lock. so I get through the lock, and after some fiddling with the mechanism, I get the handle to turn.

I pull open the door, and the firs thing I notice is that the door/walls vary from 1/2 a foot to about 3ft thick. thats all I can notice befor: PPSSSSHHHHHHH.

Tear gas


Turns out the safe companies were quite smart back then, and had boobie-trapped the safe.


sooo, hear I am, rolling on the ground in a firey haze of agony, and my boss comes running to the office.

stopps, and covers his face then bursts out laughing. I'm on the ground screaming, and rolling around, and its all he can do to not split his ribs for uproarious humor.

finally, a coworker runs in and drags me out of the office, coughing and sputtering like mad. he leads me to the bathroom, turns on the faucet, and puts my head in.

I stood there until they took me to the hospital.


I got minor chemical burns, and was blind for about a day and a half.

they told me I was lucky. lol. ya, lucky that I got sprayed direstly in the fdace w/ tear gas. okay.


ANYWHOOOO


got my pay raised from 7.50/hr to 9.00 hr because I didnt make an L&I claim. lol.


not a single scar either...well...physical scar..

 

[aye mate]

^Nice one!

Nothing too unusal happens at my work. I have driven a couple mowers into a pond or two, they needed to be removed by a tractor with a front end loader, and been hit by golf balls a bunch of times.

 

[Justin727]

Lol My Mom Told Me A Story Similar To That Tear Gassed Safe When She Was 16 Years Old. Someone Left The Safe Open And Triggered The Lock Some How Or Another. Anywho They Had A Party That Night And Someone Walked Down There And Hit The Door Slightly. The Whole Building Was Gassed! Heh

I just spent 4.5 years on a submarine. When you put 170 dudes in a tin can, sink it, and let them simmer for 6 months at a time, strange things happen. The most memorable incident involved our XO (second in command).
Little technical background first: Our sewage system was a simple design. Metal toilet -> ball valve -> piping -> storage tank. When ever the tanks got full, we'd pressurize them with 150psi air and blow the contents out the sub. Problem is, when doing this, you're not supposed to open the ball valves at the toilets, since the path of least resistance is no longer out to sea.

We'd heard horror stories of such incidents, but never seen anyone actualy do this. Until our XO went to take a shite. He did his business, then opened the valve. Of course, guys always look at their poop before flushing, and he was no exception. The first thing to hit him was his own turds, followed quickly by about 30 gallons of everyone else's poop and pee. The sound was horrific, but not as bad as the smell that followed. He somehow was able to reshut the valve before the tank was completely emptied onto him. It was a good laugh, but we all payed for it since there was no way to get rid of the smell unless we came up near the surface and brought in fresh air. Which was about 2 days later. I don't think he'll ever get rid of his nickname "shitlids."

^rofl! now that is a good story ahaha

we offload cars from rail cars at my work, and naturally when you drive cars all day everyday, you going to have an accident eventually. This guy, gets into a Range Rover (brand new) and goes flying down our main road ( limit is 40Km/h) gets to the end, can make the turn. Slides sideways and smokes a Jaguar (also brand new) with the front end of his truck hes driving. So if thats not bad ehough, he somehow got the range rover into reverse, and ended up ontop of ANOTHER jag (see the pattern here?? brand new) Shit like that happens to often where i work

 

[92turbo4life]

just a few stories from a guy who works at a local prison:biglaugh:

 

[Mark3Supraholic]

Man that's some funny stuff... weirdest thing I hever had happen was a guy standing up in the middle of the room ( I work at a pool-hall) and start yammering on about his religion and how he was saved. Sure I'm religious.. but invading on other people's time in a private business? Please leave. Was almost as bad as the catfight. 2 Girls get all frosty eyed at each other and the nails and hair start flying. Let me tell ya, even with security's help, it took 3 guys and a whole lot of forceful pulling to seperate them.

 

[whudafux]

Ok. Some ricer came in. And he wasnt the normal ricer. He was about 35. Mid-life crisis? Maybe. But he had a automatic Pontiac Vibe with absolutely no work except for an injen intake and some type of exhaust. This is the part that makes him a ricer. He has a TRD steering wheel, TRD neck rests, TRD oil cap, and a fire extinguisher.

The damn oil cap burned the shit out of my fingers trying to get it off. I forgot anything metal gets hot in the engine bay.

 

[lanky189]

pontiac vibe = toyota matrix

 

[whudafux]

So why not buy the matrix? :dunno:

 

[gixxer750]

I think the matrix is a bit cheaper and better looking...

 

[Yellow 13]

I work at a public library with internet access so we get all sorts of weird stuff. Cross dressers hitting on me, people masturbating at the computers, guys looking at overaged all male three ways...thats just naming off the top of my head.
