Topic says it all.

I have two.
The first was today I was on my break and there was this guy who was walking his dog with his family. His family went inside to get groceries and he stayed out with the dog. While he was drifting off in the zone the dog walked over to the flower pots on display for purchase in front of the store and the dog took a leak on one. Lol, the floral lady was so pissed. As I went to take it to her to scan it out I had a problem because it was so funny.

The second is there's this guy I work with who is Indian. He can get a bit on your nerves mostly because he doesn't do dick, moves like a slug and makes you do his work because he's too lazy. One day I was trimming some veggies and he walks up to me and starts shouting the word "romainie, romainie, romainie!" and shakes his hands up and down as he's doing it. I tell him, "I know, Raju, romaine. That's what I'm butting. I'll get it out." and he does it again, "romainie, romanie!". After that he walks out to the floor and that was it.

So let's here em'.

I suppose the funniest recurring thing I see at my job is when the school kids come in at about lunchtime nearly everyday and try to chat me up in a vain attempt to either look good in front of there friends or to bag some free food.
Never works of course but its amusing how often the little tike's try.
I remember one day Eevee popped in once while he was out and about to say hi, He and my boss ended up playing a game of Pool as they so often do whenever Eevee shows his head round the place, So anyway the little kids come in and try on with the flirts again but this time I just calling Eevee over for a second and introducing him to everyone as 'My man', I think I literally saw the moment when the boys trousers turned a nasty shade of brown. ^_^

The funniest thing I saw was something I did about 2 weeks ago. I'm a bit of a prankster in real life(like it wasn't obvious) and each time I try something new, it has to be better than the last one.

So I'm working in a nice warehouse, Caterpillar in fact. Specifically, I work in parts picking. We have forklift trucks, and some have doors and radios but are quite heavy to use, others are open-sided with no radios and lighter than the former.

One of the guys used a truck with doors and radio, and spends his day gently working in the trailer yard loading up trailers, listening quietly to classical music. He parked up his truck inside - and thus easily accessible - and wandered off for his lunch. I waited a minute or two, before setting my devious trap.

I jumped onto his forklift and turned the key just enough to engage the electrical systems; I was rewarded with the faint sounds of some orchestral beats. Step 1: change to suitably loud/lousy rock station, Kerrang. Step 2: crank volume up to max and turn off ignition quickly, making the radio go off and remember its previous settings.
I had a small crowd watching me do this, including one of the bosses. It was a good thirty minutes until he came back from his break, so we carried on doing what we were doing and spread the word.

You can imagine our surprise when he rolls up on an open-sided truck. Apparently he felt like a change, but I was adamant I had to use the lighter truck. The larger, doored-with-cranked-music truck was just too heavy for me, I argued. He still demanded he use the lighter one, so I settled the argument by stealing it.
As I drive away cackling like an idiot, the crowd has gathered once again. The entire workforce has turned up.

My colleague is annoyed. He was happy with the open-sider, so swearing lots he opened the door, and clambered into the larger forklift truck. He then slammed the door shut, and locked it. Next, he put the seatbelt on and made sure his mirror was adjusted properly.

Finally, he turned the key over.

You have never seen somebody have as big a shock in your entire life. He took forever trying to get out of his truck, as he was locked in and wearing his seatbelt.
Needless to say he blamed me and spent the rest of the day trying to get me back, but it was totally worth it.

Il Piantissimo

I remember two years ago when I had a job at an amusement park, there were of course a lot of crying children over there and frustrated moms. I worked at a photo shop were people could pick up their family photo's. Usually mom's who are stressed out enough are the funniest.

We had a cracked floor so if people would have dropped something, they couldn't get it back because the crack was too small. And guess what, little kids who came over to pay for their pictures to show their moms they could do it all by themselves, dropped the money - and yeah, one picture was really expensive, mom got mad and let the lulz begin!

I also experienced once that a colleague of mine had made a family photo of a husband and wife standing next to eachother, the wife looking angrily away as the husband tries to act like they were a lovely, happy family... putting his arms around her and smiling like nothing happened. The picture was taken at the right moment and when my colleague brought the picture to the shop everybody just started to laugh and wonder if we could ever sell this? My boss was like why the frack not, if nobody wants it, we'll keep as a souvenir. So the latter happened. Looked really good.
