Yikes! I don't know what to say. I've had some bad days at work, but somehow, they all seem rather trivial now.

Imagine going through all that :-0 Somehow now the dog spider isn't so scary!

Hanging out of a cockpit window at 17,300 feet. I thought I had experienced bad days at work but that's a bad day at work.

The surprising parts of that story for me were that he lived, and he went back to work afterwards.
 
I accidentally dropped a special hand held barcode scanner into a tank of water at work years ago. Didn't think much about it until the boss called me into his office and mentioned that those scanners cost $8500 each so it would be great if I didn't do it again.... :fearscream: At the time I thought that was bad but hanging out of a cockpit window at 17 300 feet is worse.

It was the bit about his open eyed head banging against the window that made me think, yep sounds like he didn't survive. It's like something out of a horror film!

It's nothing short of a miracle he survived! The fact that he didn't fly off into space seems so improbable that he must be leading a very charmed life!

I would have said "For $8500, you'd think they would have thrown in a wrist band! The Nintendo Wii only cost £179.99 and they seemed to find space in the budget!" :smilecat:
 
One time at work we had a concept car put on view on the factory floor. I examined it and thought "yep those wheels would bolt straight on my car." I said to my boss that I was going to switch them with my wheels. He said "I wouldn't they cost £250,000 each!", I asked him if it might raise my insurance premium if I "borrowed" them. He sagely advised "It might." Of course I was only joking, but just imagine how confused my insurance company would have been when I called to inform them of that change! :)
 
I had a boss once that had anger management issues. He was a good boss but when he got upset he'd yell and scream and wave his arms in the air. He was in the middle of one of these rants one day and I started laughing.

He asked me what was so funny and I told him he looked just like Peter Garret dancing. He started laughing too, then he called me a C and got me a beer.

There was a young tech in the second year of his first graduate job who made a dumb mistake and ruined a quarter-million dollar meter. He spent the night wondering how far away he'd have to go in distance or field to get another job. To his great surprise, he didn't even get much of a reprimand. The boss explained that there was no point in reminding him of what happened, nor in trying to replace him. If he advertised the job, he'd get a dozen applicants, about as qualified as our friend had been, and if they had a bit of experience, that raised the question of why they were shopping. However, out of all of them, he only knew of one guy who would never ruin his replacement instrument.

Ewwwww!!!! Why am I not surprised that someone interpreted the label that way?
Some foods are just not meant to be eaten together...

How about THIS pizza?
(I'm putting it in a spoiler because it almost made me throw up, so I can only imagine how everyone else will react. You've been warned!)

If it only had the bacon and mushroom it would be fine. Eggs, olives and what looks like potato are steps too far.

My boss had a rough week at work that week. First one guy drove over a puddle of oil, slid and crashed a forklift into a pillar that supported the roof structure of a large building and bent it. That was not a cheap fix. Then another guy hit a company CEOs brand new Mercedes with a dump truck, really crashed into it. It was the CEOs fault, he drove into a off-limit area, but still. And then I rounded off the week by breaking that $8500 scanner. Sounds like I was working at a clown school, it was a rough week for everyone.

The current goings-on of the penguin residents of Torgerson Island, Antarctica, as of this exact moment in time…

There's something special about penguins. They are facinating, such funny little creatures. When you see a large group of them run towards the ocean and jump in, that always makes me smile. And they are so cute when they walk around with their little arms sticking out.
