I'm glad people like you are out there! My 2 story's are nowhere near as great as this but I'll share anyway lol The first was working in a supermarket: I *hated* working at the register, I need to move around, I can't be stuck in one spot for hours on end. I had tried to get reassigned to another department so I could be more active so I ask the manager if anything has changed and if I could be moved. This sonofabitch actually says this "I'm going to do with you what I do with my kids, I know you really don't like the register so you're going to stay there." Ok. I grabbed my drawer, handed it in, and walked out. The second was working as a service technician years later. I had to go to NYC very often and parking succccks there, I usually have to park blocks and blocks away from where I need to be and carry heavy equipment back and forth. Occasionally you'll be in a timed spot and might not make it back in time and get a ticket, the boss never paid those tickets they were on me for choosing the spot, fine. One day I looked for 15 minutes for a spot and couldn't find anything, so I parked in a restaurant parking lot that wasn't going to open for 3 hours. 20 minutes later I get a call from my office that they're going to tow the van if I don't come get it... $300 for them to *not* tow the van. By that point I probably had already paid $3000 in tickets, most of which I really didn't have a choice, it was carry 50-100 lbs for 30+ mins each way, or eat a ticket. That was the final straw. I absolutely hate driving as it is especially in the overpopulated shithole I live in.
