You Could Kill Someone With That!

Larry, thanks for this dangerous one....

We worked on the 10th floor of a building in NYC. The windows on this old building opened. When there were parades we opened the windows and threw out paper. Richard threw out a complete box of paper still in its cardboard container. He could have killed someone. What did happen is it hit and damaged a car on the street. The owner of the car saw the name of the company on the box and of course was able to trace it back to our office. Why Richard was not fired I don't know, probably because I don't think anyone told that it was him. The company did make good on the damage.

Really?!?!? A huge box?!?!?! Ten floors?!?!?! With the company name on it?!?!? 'Nuff said.

Let's Dangle the New Guy from the 10th Floor Window!

Don writes to us his story of workplace insanity.....

Bob worked the night shift. He was a drunk who spent his dinner hour at the bar who's name escapes me at the moment. Mc Sorleys I think. He had the bar tender keep setting up shots on the bar which he would down in rapid succession. A new hire started one night and Bob and his drinking buddy, whose name escapes, grabbed the guy, opened the window and hung him out by his ankles from the 10th floor window. They pulled him back in and he took off never to be seen again.

I guess that's one way to welcome a newcomer at work....maybe next time a cake or something would be better.
