    Funny things you have seen at work?

    going to start this off.....its definately the strangest/funniest thing i have seen at work.

    Just started working at a new clients office today, went to the toilets to get some tissue for my cold then turned round to wash my hands and beside the soap pertruding from the wall was a machine, with a big sign, the sign read "we support...and we are providing these CONDOMS for free"!!
    I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
    And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
    I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
    Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away

    Funniest things:

    This and this. We were having a very productive day, needless to say, the manager had gone home early.

    Why didn't you snort the dip??

    Funniest thing I can remember was when I worked in Lifestyle the security guard we had was a right nutter. He was this can guy from Birmingham. He's actually Wesley Charles' cousin. He was the best laugh ever. There was once he went up to one of the workers whose a bit slow. The security guard picked up the fire extinguisher and told him to bring it down to the fire station cos it needed refilling. Your man thought he was serious.

    I'm highly offended by that. My brother is mentally handicapped and I would never make fun of any handicapped person. I don't know why anyone would do such a thing.

    I meant slow as in not the brightest spark.

    Funniest thing I ever saw was when I was working in HMV on Cruises St in Limerick. Its a pedesterian street and it was around Christmas, so there was a photographer charging people a fiver to get their photos taking with a guy in a Santa outfit, and another guy in a Bob the Builder outfit for some reason. Anyway the photographer was taking a shot of a couple with Bob and Santa when some young fella ran up and grabbed the photographers polaroid camera and tried to leg it. I say tried because quick as a dart Santa and Bob ran after him and took him down with a rugby tackle. All well and good until Bob and Santa began kicking lumps out of the robber on the ground, funnier still was that the Bob character had a big foam head and big foam hands and feet and was stomping on the robber with those feet. Anyway whilst children had stopped to watch and cry about Bob and Santa pummelling some guy two cops ran over and pulled Bob and Santa off the guy and arrested the pair of them along with the robber. So the actual funniest sight I've ever witnessed was Bob and Santa being cuffed and put in the back of a police car, Bob still with his big foam head on whilst the children of Limerick weeped and weeped

    A friend of mine was doing security in a supermarket , He spotted a young fella robbing a chicken , so he grabbed him and said what are you doing with that ...

    The young fella replied chips and mushy peas , He was so stunned he let go of his grip and your man ran off

    Anyone who doubts that that story is true has obviously never lived in Limerick, the strangest things happen in this city, it's like eerie Indiana sometimes

    were there condoms actually free or was it just a joke?

    one guy i used to work with came in one morning and at about 10 he shat his pants. He started crying and was brought into the toilet, cleaned up by the manager and was given a spare pair of trousers that the manager kept in his desk. His parents were called and they collected him and took him home.

    Oh no, sorry, that wasnt work, it was junior infants...

    Not a funny thing I saw but a rather embarrasing thing I said at work once. A guy in a wheelchair came in for an appointment with the Solicitor I worked for and I said my usual "have a seat, I will let him know u are here".

    I cringed for weeks after that.
