Almost caused an evacuation at a large NATO meeting.
(In my defence, if someone leaves a ratty old black backpack leaning against a wall inside the venue unattended for 20+ minutes, that’s exactly the stuff they tell us to call in)

Federal SWAT team raided our place of work and arrested an employee. His crime? He looked exactly like someone on the FBI’s most wanted list. The lady at the sandwich shop next door had “recognized” him and told the Feds. He was released shortly afterwards. We looked at the list…

A co-worker sat down for lunch and slumped over and died in the break room. He’d been working there for 30 years. We had to notify his wife and girlfriend. After the body was removed business went on as usual. His job was available the next week. Break room is haunted forever.

At the Wendy’s I worked at in 10th grade, there was an old lady named Dottie, a co-worker, who sat next to the salad bar and smoked. She would empty the ashtray into her purse.
One day she must have emptied her ashtray somewhere else, because she set the place on fire.— KingsleyVanityPress (@Jvanitypress) July 18, 2024

Worked at a burger restaurant in high school. Customer was mean to waitress, she told her boyfriend on the grill line, he got his boys, and within ten minutes there was a full-on cooks v bikers brawl in the parking lot.
Nobody lost their jobs bc the bosses said it was justified.

A family of bears come out of the woods & hung out in the break areas. They had to be tranquilized & removed, & no one was allowed to leave the building until then. Later THE SAME DAY, the mail room caught fire and we had to evacuate.
The local news showed up twice that day.
