Whats the worst thing you ever said at work?

Came across this article while browsing the news sites.

Mostly dull self improvement stuff. :yawn:

Whats the worst thing you've ever said at work?

My gems:

To boss: "You're wrong"

To boss:"No you did not understand this"

To boss: "Thats impossible, it can never happen this way"

Although, to be fair, I was right all the times I said these.

Without question something I have said a number of times to employers:

That would be OK, I guess.

I'll leave it to you to imagine the possible consequences of what sometimes feels like something one has to say.

"I LOVE my job"--in a VERY sarcastic tone.

'Big Fat Hairy Liar' to the boss. They really should put names tags on people for new hires.

 

Well mostly in the form of a tongue in cheek comment I have slanted god, politics, sports teams, the general pyramid structure of employment, along with a host of other things and making offensive statements. The people around me take it in good spirits and laugh and know if they want a more serious discussion they're welcome to it but I don't expect others to agree with me.
Gems such as "we should just eat dogs like the Chinese do, then there wouldn't be any strays"
and "I love sychronized disabled swimming, especially when they all drown"
and if anyone ever says "I've never been so insulted in all my life"
the correct response is "well all I can say is you've been damn lucky"

Judging by that article however we're all supposed to keep our mouths shut at work incase someone disagrees with anything we say(which is highly likely since 2 people rarely; if ever - agree on everything) and they hold it against us. Well welcome to the real world I'm afraid many people discriminate and you can't hide under a rock and never make a sound.
Overall the article's good but based on a business style world and at times misleading. If the boss wrongly points the finger of blame at you then you actually should try justify yourself(without blaming others), fail to do so and you'll probably be labelled incompetent.

 

Brian: Man Did I ever tell you I hate you
Me: Did I ever tell you that I nailed your mom
Brian: Your a real douche bag
Me: I hope you die of aids

Brian is my boss

 

Man, I make way to much money for the work I'm doing!

"Yeah, that would be OK, I guess"

Or words to that effect.

 

Someone told a co-worker that her outfit was nice and I burst out laughing.

 

[talking about the second world war]
"Yeah, until his lot came along" (glancing towards a German colleague)

[after my girlfriend broke her coccyx falling out of bed]
colleague: "Shouldn't she have landed on all fours like a cat?!"
me: "well... she started off that way" (he chuckled for a while on that one!)

And general usage of prejudiced terms such as 'gyp' instead 'cheap'.

 

once when i was a lifeguard there was this kid who was a terror and was not following the rules i told the other guard on duty that i would deal with the little @$$hole

 

"WTF is it ragweek here?"

I told a co-worker once "This place sucks." My boss was within earshot, and had me come outside for a little "conference". I refused to apologize for saying it, so he sent me home for the rest of the day. He fired me the next day. I'd worked there for a little over five years.

 

"if you dont pay me by tomorow im not coming in" (this was after my pay was a week late)

That little gem got me fired

 

I once punched my boss in the face...and still kept my job. Although I did work at a bar, and he was drunk, and gay, and was hitting on me.

 

and you didnt just tell him you wernt intersted why?

 

He grabbed my junk, and we were both drunk. We are still friends though...I went to his house this weekend and installed a new lighting fixture for him.

 

I punched out the windshield in the shop delivery truck at a job I once had. My boss was a complete asshole, and no matter how hard I worked, it was never good enough. After having just made a long distance parts delivery run in a truck with no air conditioning in 105 degree plus heat, he couldn't understand why it had taken so long (traffic). As I went out to deliver more parts, my anger caught up to me, and I punched out the windshield of the truck when I was stopped at a traffic light. I finished the run, went back to the shop, and told my boss that I had lost my temper and had punched out the windshield in the truck. He didn't say much, he could tell I was right on the edge. And I went home.

Amazingly, I wasn't fired for it. I was written up, but not fired. I realized I had to get out of there before I punched my boss out, so I immediately began searching for another job.

Not long after I left, I found out that his wife left him for one of the mechanics that worked there. He came home for lunch and caught them. I was happy for her. She had always been very nice to me, and I could tell that he was just as much of an abusive asshole to her as he was to me (probably even worse at home).
