    Lost my temper and swore at the top of my lungs to a whole boutique full of customers, ushered them the hell outta the shop, then closed early and went home. I'd had enough.
    I had to go to anger management (lol anyone who knows me in real life knows how ridiculous that is because I'm THE most tolerant person), but because of the circumstances, my superiors totally understood why I did what I did, and I kept my job.

    Wow. Just the thought of you losing your temper like that is completely foreign to me. Those customers must have been the embodiment of retail hell. :)

    I smoked a joint in the break room . It wasn't even a room it was a table and chairs set against the wall in the restaurant kitchen I was a busboy in .,.I did it because I didn't care if I got fired or not. I even left the roach in the ashtray. The manager saw it and gave me a stern talk but I didn't get fired .

    I work with my grandmother cleaning houses and the worst thing I ever did while cleaning a customers house was blast his radio while he was asleep( he usually let's me and I didn't think he was still in the house when I got there) He came running down the stairs looking like he was about to kill somebody. And yes my grandmother yelled at me for it. But the look on his face was priceless

    I would have cracked up laughing myself. I would have apologized but it would not seem very sincere with the hysterical laughter though.
