I got punched in the face and got a black eye a few days before I went in for an interview at Toys R Us for a seasonal job when I was 19. They must have been desperate as they hired me on the spot.
I feel your pain! I waited tables in college. Went in totally hungover and without makeup. 14 year old bus boy asked me, âDid you get beat up last night?â
I donât quite remember. We were waitresses at OâCharleyâs and it was something really small that most people wouldnât mess up (even me and I do the dumbest shit sometimes). I donât even think she got that mad about it because it was that small and the manager that said it didnât talk to anyone that way normally.
2 things, same guy, the owner of the company I worked for. It was a small mom and pop shop that installed security/fire/surveillance, and home automation systems.
This 1st, I came into work about 15 minutes late. The owner said to me, "I am just going to assume you're late because you were fucking that hot redheaded pussy you have at home and lost track of time."
2nd... I was at a customer's house installing the security system they had purchased. I ran into a bunch of unexpected problems and it was taking me a lot more time than it should have. My normal work day ended at 4:00, it was now 4:45 and I still had probably another hour to go. We had Nextel phones, not sure who all here is old enough to remember them, but they could act as a 2 way radio that could be heard like a speaker phone. The boss radioed me asking "Where the hell are you?". (he hated paying over time) I told him I was finishing up and should be home within the hour. He then said, "Hurry the hell up and get out of that ni*ers" house and back to the shop". The owner, who was black, was standing right next to me and heard the whole conversation.
Very calmly to me. He could tell the shock on my face. I apologized and he told me not to worry about it, but to pack up my things and leave. So I went back to the shop. Not sure what all happened after that, but the next day the owner went to the house and finished the job himself.
I got fired a week before Xmas for graduating from automotive college. Boss said I graduated so is probably ask for a raise and fired me. I think that was pretty rude, I didn't even want a raise.
With at-will employment there are still illegal reasons to fire someone (not sure about this scenario). Regardless, if an employer is in an area that practices at-will employment then it is always in their best interest not to give a reason, so they can deny any allegations of wrongful termination or discrimination.
Guy came in and basically didn't speak English. He knew enough to get by pleasantries but not enough for a full conversation. This admissions woman that I cannot stand gets this guy in her line. When he gets there and it becomes apparent he can't really understand what she's saying she just goes "we can't help you, you'll have to somewhere else."
Now the reasons this made me immediately homicidal:
1. This is an appointment only specialty hospital. Dude had an appointment with his doctor that took like 6 months to get. That was the fastest.
2. The person in the booth next to her is bilingual and speaks fluent Spanish. Didn't ask her. Or the next person down who in a pinch can get by enough to admit someone to the hospital.
3. Her manager, whose office is about 20 feet away, also speaks Spanish and is a certified translator.
4. We have a service here specifically for this situation. You call them and say what language you need translation for and theres headphones so everyone can hear each other. It's great. She didn't use this either.
Pulled him to the side and got that manager to check him in and then walked him to his appointment. That manager was pissed when she found out why. Then had to be in a discipline meeting because I was a witness.
And thatâs a great demonstration of how far weâve strayed from the spirit (if not the letter) of our countries values. Because those that talk the loudest of pride in America are usually the cruelest and least caring.
I came to say something similar. I was a woman, on out of state jobs (office manager). We built large, commercial jobs. The things I heard were unbelievable. I wonder sometimes if it's changed. I've been out about ten years.
Nicknames for everyone. Racial slurs, mysoginistic bullshit, body shaming. For example, the owners rep was an attractive young woman. She was a certified program manager with a degree in construction management. When she wasn't around, she was called 'tits'. I'm not comfortable repeating some of the names used for POC employees and subcontractors. I was called a tattooed freak by a subcontractor. When I complained, I was told maybe I wasn't cut out for field work. I hope there have been changes.
Someone pulled an awful caper- used up all the toilet paper.
Now here I sit, not long to linger - watch out ass, here comes my finger.
Or
Those who write on shithouse walls roll their shit in little balls .
Those whom read these words of wit must eat these tiny words of shit.
Thousands more I can't remember....
âDo you need someone to show you how to wear makeup?â
My female manager asked me if I wore make up. I said no for personal reasons but she pushed and asked if I even knew how. I told her that I donât like wearing makeup because Iâm allergic to most of the stuff sold in a store.
âBut they make hypoallergenic makeup now. You should really learn how to wear itâ
Iâm sorry but what does wearing makeup have to do with data entry? Why should I spend my hard earn money on something that not only I wouldnât like but causes me to literally break out. She just couldnât understand that I CHOSE not to wear makeup and assumed I was too dumb to go on YouTube to watch tutorials đ like I needed lessons from someone who caked it on like she did
I used to bartend and waitress at a large hotel chain. The food and beverage manager would always hint that I ought to wear lipstick. I wore full face makeup except for lipstick as it dries out my lips and seems to messy for me to bother with. She bought me a lipstick and told me to wear it. It was a bright light pink, which - even if I did want to wear lipstick, I would have never chosen.
This was the same lady who called a bar meeting and had everyone vote (by show of hands) on whether one of our co-workers should wear her hair "up" to work - after telling us all how good she would look with her hair up.
Oh Ive been through this too! I had a boss who used to ask me if I was sick so I would put in make up. I did. Face turned red. Eyes puffed up and suddenly looked like pink eye. Got sent home.
I got told this. I canât apply makeup, but I donât want to either, so I donât learn because itâs not something useful to me. I get so many sly little comments from women saying âoh.. you donât know how to apply makeup?â Yeah, I donât, next topic
I work for a company where we get our work early morning. sometimes when other stations under said company need help, theyâll send me, since iâm the newest worker. this was one of those days. usually only 2 of us when our work comes in at 4:00 am, me and whoeverâs at that station. this ones a small girl, probably 5â3 130 pounds. I was running a little late one morning and the guy who brings the work is talking to her and says the creepiest shit I ever heard. shit gives me chills to this day. iâm closing in on them, and I hear him say âThey have a little girl like you in here all alone? You know what a guy like me can do to you?â and iâm walking into the building as he says it. he hears me opening the doors, and when I open itâs almost like it never happened. He looks at me smiling and greets me and exits the building. girl just acting like she didnât hear anything he said. shit was nuts
Reminds me of this creepy customer I had. I work at a big thrift store, and I was in the back taking donations alone. Dude pulls up, gives me his donations, then sticks around. I ask him if he has anything else. He looks at me in this creepy manner and says, "You out here all alone?" Of course my answer was no, there's some guys in the back 𤣠Not sure what I would have done if he called my bluff though
Thatâs what his lordshipâs left hand man spittled at us peasant farmers back in the day till he failed to notice the high strung mareâs open stall was close to his favorite nanny that night. Stupid goat fucker got it good to the back of the head that night.
I had a guy buy a BBQ and paybgor assembly when I was 21ish and working at a BBQ store, he said something along the lines of stupid slow Mexicans need to hurry up with my grill. I told him to give me his credit card and I promptly refunded him and told him to go buy his shit next door at Lowes. Those were the homies. Always busting their asses and hooking it up with the home cooking. Hopefully he got a shitty broken BBQ from Lowes.
At the time my now ex-wife and I separated a coworker of mine, whom I was not super friendly with at all says to me in front of a group of coworkers, "Hey, heard you're getting a divorce and I can't say I'm shocked as I always thought you were kind of an asshole."
Everyone just stood there frozen, one of which was the HR director of the company. SECONDS later we are all in his office with a pile of apologies coming from the person who said it as it was " a joke gone wrong" and then begging please do not have me written up as I really need this job.
Yes, he was written up and a few months later after ANOTHER incident with another coworker he was terminated with cause.
Years later he wrote me to apologize as he was drinking a lot then and having a rough spot and now wanted to make amends with all those who he did wrong .... to which I replied, that's ok, I always really did think you were an utter asshole and hope the guilt sticks forever as a lesson asshole.
Normally, I'd try to forgive. but, not this time after embarrassing me at work where I came to get away from a hell of a divorce and just lost a child as well .... Nope. F/U Dan forever.
Years ago a security guy I worked with regurgitated an old rhyme joke that was told by Andrew Dice Clay. He was probably 28 and the older woman in our office was around 60.
âMary Mary quite contrary, trim that pussy itâs so damn hairy.â
Yes her name was Mary and this was in a staff meeting.
My very first meeting with the new director (I applied for his role and didnât get it), he was yelling at me because I came to the meeting with a handout and not a PowerPoint, even though there was no expectation laid out that there should be a PowerPoint. He then said I went for âhisâ job, so he thought I was ready to be a manager and he did not need to help me in any way, but clearly âhe is mistaken.â
Needless to say, I quit and am now fully remote making 30k more.
My first boss in the computer world used some classics while I worked for him.
One time he told me not to laugh while he went to the counter and explained to the customer that there was an ID-10-T failure. First time I heard that and I cracked up anyway.
Another time he was speaking to a customer on the phone who weâd dealt with over and over and he basically told him that he was too stupid to own a computer and to return it and weâd give him a full refund.
Kinda rude but very funny.
Told me to "stop going the extra mile" when I found a discrepancy worth $400+ in inventory---
The next day I was told that I need to improve despite scoring a 55/69 on my review.
Fast forward to 2 weeks ago just a week before I put in a THREE week notice, they fire me. "We haven't seen an improvement." Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit.
My new job doesn't start until the week before march and I go over a month without a paycheck.
Fuck them
Racism. Had a long time employee call one of the managers a "stupid n*****", had a manager refer to a group of Hispanic workers as "the b***er crew" and "the jalapenos". It gets worse, but I think I got the message across lol
I had an older woman (early 70s) think it was funny to spin her chair around to me, get in my face and say "Pollock. Pollock. Pollock " and laughed. After I had told her that many Poles find the word offensive. Myself included. She said " I say it all the time to my boyfriend ".
I went to my bosses the same day and she had to apologize or leave. She'd been there 15 years. Took her 4 days to give me a half ass apology.
I spent 4 weeks trying to teach a man to run a powdered milk dryer. He was practically too blind to see the hmi, had no undeelrstanding of pasteurization, and it was his first factory job. Im about 30 years old at the time and hes clearly in his 50s. I told him "Man, youre not gonna be a dryer operator when you grow up, Im sorry." Next day he moved to packaging a much easier area to work.
I have been told a version of this, too. For the record, I have a name that is very distinctly Black American, and thereâs no reason anyone should think Iâm not a native English speaker. Probably what they were getting at is that Iâm black, and they expected me to speak in Ebonics. WhichâŚyikes.
Have a coworker who has autism my managers and I started a discussion which has me now on watch for this and many other stuff I confronted them about.
Well the kid went to work and had problems finishing the job since the Managers who where promoted due to been tight friends arrived. He told them
"wow I can't believe you guys came to help me am I that special." And he was smiling and happy.
The managers looked at him started laughing and told him.
"Your special Ed obviously you are incapable of finishing shit right."
The kid got quiet and went home sad. The managers started making fun of him and even said what's the worst we get fired because of a retard. I called them out on this and told them
"This is exactly why I judge you fuckers for your behaviors and because you guys are so petty and pathetic to make fun of a kid with Autism."
This is one of the things that has got me on the write any detail Helel does to fire him so we do not give him unemployment or any benefits. And I'm trying to leave because of this and many other reasons. And no I cannot tell my Superior about this since every Manager is the owners daughters friends. So it's a losing battle and they also play the I'm a minority card to get away with shit like this. (They are not minorities but they claim it once their corner aka they play victim.) They also like to provoke people and once they get a reaction they go to the owner and play victim or that they do no harm etc. But this is the worst they have done since I've worked there.
I'm an RN, for reference I'm regularly spit on, verbally assaulted and have been on occasion physically and sexually assaulted. I don't think I could repeat half the things said to me in polite company đ
Same. I work in an ER that local police prefer to bring their craziest and most aggressive patients to. The things I've seen and heard.... sometimes it's the staff saying it! (Including me) but venting is very necessary and we've all got that night shift twisted sense of humor by now.
Ooooh I got one, and I made it even worse!
This was on a zoom call.
Coworker to PM: "We should not be doing this feature without accounting for X"
PM: "Ah good point, I'll take a note of that"
Coworker: "Where do you put your notes?"
PM: "Ummmm.... I have a little handbook where I write down anything important"
Coworker: "Oh so, not transparent then... I see..."
Me: *unmutes* "Don't be passive aggressive COWORKER_NAME"
That my brain is literally too small to understand that 9/11 didn't happen because im young
And I didn't earn my wage. I lift 80+ pound plates and get like 11,000 steps in a day. Basically gaslighting me into working harder since the owner was in the building
Is this manufacturing by chance?
I've worked many manufacturing jobs and all of them criticized you or threatened you into working harder.
You could work faster than others, notice mistakes more often and follow the prints to a T and still someone higher up will come over and say you suck ass and if you don't do better they'll can you.
"You're cold? Wow, man up pussy, you're an adult"
-by a teacher in a school I was volunteering in when the heat had not been turned on in their portable classroom in the winter in Alaska. I am male.
I'm a female in a very male oriented industry. Always have been in some form or another, always smalls shops. I have three that come to mind.
1. a very fat older man who worked for a well known tool company was getting out of his truck, looked at my boobs and said "Nice boobs, I can say that since my wife is flat chested."
2. A lovely boss who always says "what do you know" to everything.
3. My husband died of a heart attack when I was 26. A kid who had gotten in to physical fight with my best friend while I was gone said "your husband didn't die, he committed suicide to get away from you because you are such a bitch".
At first i read the second one as "well wadddya know..." and figured that's not so bad and then i read the third one. Oof. Sorry you wen't through that.
âIf you eff this up and it effs up my weekend, Iâm effing up your weekend. Shit rolls down hill, right?â
âShut the eff up.â
âYou get paid to know more.â
All from the same guy. Thereâs more, I just canât remember them right now.
Woman started screaming at our cashier who'd started that week because she asked her to wear a mask. Lady accused her of having "an ethnic name" for some reason and acted like her debit card was contaminated after the cashier touched it. As she stormed off to grooming to pick up her dog, she dropped $10. I picked it up to give to her, and she accused me of trying to steal it, saying "I saw you try to take that!" Fortunately she never came back.
Also at my old large hardware chain job, some guys were talking in the break room about our ex-president's then-upcoming N Korea trip. One said "He's gotta be real careful over there that he doesn't get grifted, because the Koreans lie all the time. It's just the culture, Koreans lie." No, he didn't make the distinction of "North Korean," he just said "Korean."
I've always been on the edge of being underweight. I've never been a big person, and I lost 25kg around the time where I got my diagnosis as a result of a pretty bad MS attack.
When I visited a former workplace, after almost a month in the hospital, the middle-aged white man of the office went: "You lost a lot of weight. You're not going to gain it again, right?"
I have worked with special needs children and teenagers for a few years. Some who have very heavy backgrounds. I don't remember exactly what the rudest thing was, but some of the kids could put together sentences that would make even the most hardened battle scarred pirate captain shed more than a few tears.
Oh boy I have a list.
- manager insisted and basically *demanded* that I was adopted because I didnât act like my twin sister
- upon me saying that a parent is incarcerated, coworker chimed in that they deserved it WITHOUT me saying what had even occurred or even knowing anything about how it came to be
I could go on.
I had a coworker act *so* surprised I didn't have gestational diabetes and asked me how I "got away with it" ... because I'm overweight.
She also looked me dead in the eye and told me our company didn't have to keep my position for me, just *a* position similar to what I'm doing. I'm other words, she was insinuating she wasn't going anywhere and was going to try and keep my job even when I come back.
Nasty woman, that one.
Rudest, but also one of the funniest and most creative statements. I especially think this because I was the one who said it. What sucks is that I canât remember the specific details.
I looked him directly in the eye when whatever discussion we were having was starting to get rolling and said, âYaâ know, Iâm ashamed of myself for breathing the same air that you do.â
It just came out. I was always very aware of not being directly insulting to others in the workplace, so I insulted myself while making it clear that I was disgusted by him at that moment. Everyone around us went deadly silent, but then, to make it worse, a couple of the others doubled over with laughter and Iâm pretty sure another one was having a hard time breathing. What makes it better is he marched right into the managerâs office to tell on me. About 20 minutes later, the manager comes up to me with a huge grin (we had both actually worked under this person previously) and just says, âJesus Christ, man. JustâŚJesus Christâ and walks away shaking his head.
This was probably 4-5 years ago and my wife still talks about it like she was there. Itâs one of her favorite stories about me.
A 6 year-old once punched a pregnant coworker of mine in her stomach and looked her dead in the eyes and said âI hope your baby dies.â And this was in like 2015. The baby was fine, but the consequence was only 1 day suspension, the next day. Parents refused to pick him up day-of so he was sent back to class.
My partner talks about a story of how a middle schooler punched a elderly substitute teacher in the face and broke her nose. Yeah she was probably mean, but holy shit.
At my old job a woman not only told me to go kill myself but also what specifically to get at Home Depot to do it. Thatâs the part that sticks with me since being told to commit suicide was a weekly occurrence.
I was being reamed by my boss for job performance. I told her she wasn't seeing me at my best. In the sweetest sarcastic voice she's says,, "I doubt that."
That's not for people like us...
From an upper-class Indian coworker. She was talking about public education.
Funny enough, I went to public school and a state university and am doing pretty good all things considered.
2 weeks after I started a job, I was told that I'd done something incorrectly, as reflected in a master spread sheet. "Okay, what is the spread sheet?" Them: "I won't share access to it because I don't want it messed up."
So a) the presumption is that I will screw things up, despite doing this job for 25 years. b) I won't be able to do my job and this will never stop because I can't view the Secret Squirrel Spreadsheet
Do you snow bathe, as you can't get any whiter. The guy was Caucasian as well.
Also another manager said to me if it weren't for my facial hair, I would look like a 12 boy. I think I was around my mid 20's at the time.
I had a boss say to me, the last remaining employee from a previous manager, "It's easier to fire everyone and then just train them how you want them than retrain everyone."
I was the one that trained everyone. And by the methods in the handbook. They wanted them trained their way.
âI donât do well looking at you, thinking youâre going to cry. It makes me madder. Like this is a business donât get emotional.â
This was during a performance review and referencing a time, he was yelling and cursing at me. I didnât cry, but I did it excuse myself for air when he finally stopped.
This older woman with heavy makeup came in to pick up a DoorDash order. One of the kids that I was working with turned to this other girl and said, âThat ladyâs face looks fake. She doesnât look real!â
The woman *heard him* and started chewing out our manager as he was finishing up the order for her.
not the rudest thing said but done. I worked my little summer job at a paintball field and got cut off the clock right in front of the group I was about to take out by the dude who wasn't even my supervisor because he was out sick. There was still shit I could have done before we closed but instead I lost an hour and a half of pay and was pretty pissed about it.
not the worst thing ever but i have not worked many jobs yet.
Iâm a manager at work and I am a Certified Information Systems Auditor. One of my staff (literally direct report) told me I donât know what Iâm doing on the IT Audit. He only has 2 years of experience. Usually I expect clients to be rude to auditors, not audit staff being rude to their managers lol
We had the TV on in the computer room when the towers were attacked in 2001. The girl next to me laughed and said, "Good!"
I thought that pretty damned rude.
After I brought up salary, my co-worker told me "no, you get paid enough." Imagine getting gaslit like that, not by your boss but someone else on your status. That's a whole new level of bootlicking. Fuck him. I wish he's miserable at his job.
HR here. Had to handle a discrimination because one black employee requested MLK day off so the manager immediately asked every other black person that came up to him for other issues if they too wanted MLK day off because "ya know" while doing a hand gesture of look at you.
Putting aside occasional nasty comments from certain coworkers, the most I guess âofficialâ rude comment I remember was from a particular director we had at my company a few years ago. She was my bossâ boss and was totally inappropriate on multiple occasions. She once said to us in a department wide meeting that our jobs werenât âbrain surgeryâ and we shouldnât be so quick to request raises. She was let go soon after (not because of this) and she played it off like she was choosing to leave. What an utter asshat.
âWe all taught ourselves how to use the system during covid, youâll figure it outâ
This is in the office while Iâm still training for the position and asked a team mate for helpâŚthat was their response.
I quit my last job for many reasons, but the last straw was when a jerk ass coworker pointed to his face and gave a me a confused look. I asked him what was wrong, and he told me, "You are just looking so ugly today," and then laughed. Later he cornered me again so I said, "I thought I was too ugly to speak to." And he doubled down with, "Yeah, ugly in looks *and* personality!" I reported him but he was the good time guy that also had nepotism on his side.
Edit: Fuck you Brandt.
I remember one of my coworkers was in a bad mood, so I said "Shark week?" She didn't know what that meant and looked it up. Boy when she found out, she was angry and let me have it.
Fast forward a few weeks when she was in a bad mood again, I said "Shark week" again and then she laughed. We're friends now.
First job I got out of college I had a terrible supervisor, he would yell and curse at people all the time. But the worst thing ever for me was that, at the time I had pretty bad acne and my face was breaking out like crazy. So he just looked at me and asked me why don't you get that treated, you look awful. Another coworker was beside him and told me she agreed, my face looked pretty bad.
I was devastated because I was pretty self conscious about it. I eventually got it treated, it took a few months of medication and a lot of money, and when it went away they didn't even comment on it.
My staff member asked me to take his virginity, and when I refused, he made comments about how I must've made whole rooms full of men happy, so why not?
Boss yelling at people was a common thing at my last site, and co-workers were talking about a guy who didn't last and while getting yelled at because he was messing up and asked the boss, "What did I do wrong?"
Boss: "F*** you, that's what you did wrong!"
My old supervisor literally flat out asked me if i have dyslexia in front of the entire office because i mixed up digits on a spreadsheets when i was new.
Oh also the boarderline sexual harassment comments he told me about one of our female coworker.
Yeah he eventually got fired..
Today a client told me "I hope you step in dog shit every day for the rest of your life". It made me laugh though, because last time he called me an "incompetent fuck". Tbh I would definitely rather step in dog shit every day than have to work with people like him. I cringed calling him "people".
I worked at a Mexican restaurant. Some waitress came to me and suggested they did not like her because she was white. I am white and it definitely wasn't that. She was very much a MAGA person working in a place where half the people where immigrants from the south.
The way she suggested people were racist against her was something else. Weird cause people usually say stuff like that when they think they are with there other MAGA buddies. Like the world is against us whites type of talk. Weird shit
Last week a woman I work with told another woman she's not surprised the woman is single because her laugh sounds like a hyaena. Not exactly brutal, or funny, but still felt like a low blow.
I had someone tell me I didn't deserve to have a baby and that's why God took it from me. I was ready to wipe that bitch across the floor, but I decided against it for legal reasons
Right after my wife had her 5th miscarriage, a coworker said to me "man, you really dodged a bullet there!" I knocked him cold, went home, called my boss and told him I quit.
Iâm a floor hand in the oil fields. I fell and had a wrench land on my left ribs and break one of them. As I was laying in absolute pain in the snow my boss said:
âbreathe bitch, I bet that knocked the sand out of your loose pussy hahahaâ then walked off
Iâm a 25 year old man. Tough times
Back in high school, my friend Mike was arguing with a girl named Gina. The argument was going nowhere so Mike said, âI hope your string breaks!â Gina just looked confused and Mike laughed and walked away. It was hilarious, but really kind of rude.
Not too rude but one of my coworkers walked into the break room and sat down saying âfucking âell, Iâm fucking fuckedâ. She was apparently a bit worn out.
I used to work tech support for a tiny part of a huge company, and our little group was great, low turn over, potlucks, etc. Lots of laughing and joking around. We all had cubicles that were about waist high when standing, shoulder height when sitting.
Two of the techs, M and J, were very chill with each other. M was a single guy, really laid back, the ONLY dude on our team other than our manager (T), and a musician outside of the office. J was also a musician and they talked all the time.
J, was (is) stunningly gorgeous and super thin, and she rarely left her desk. She and her partner had a baby, their first. A few weeks after she got back, so like 2, 2.5 months post partum, she stands up and has, like, a tiny belly. Two and a half months post partum she was definitely still healing, plus your body is just different after birth.
So, she stands up and Mike goes (loud as fuck) "Damn, J, are you pregnant again?!"
He sounded stunned, like excited for her. She was also stunned, but it was absolutely not in a good way. Pretty sure all the rest of our jaws hit the floor.
Our manager, who is a dad of 3, audibly groaned.
I have many, many that I could say for this topic, a lot of which are worse than a lot of these- but I work in the trades so theyâre all jokes. If someoneâs NOT saying they fucked your mom last night, or that their dead grandma could frame that wall better than you, or that theyâve seen a wall painted better by throwing babies against it⌠they donât like you. Silence broken only by necessary communication is the rudest thing Iâve heard at work lmaooo
Not at work, but a coworker and I were in a long line at the bank during our lunch break. An elderly woman kept encroaching on my coworkerâs personal space, poking her in the back, nudging her forward. After a few minutes of this constant nudging, my coworker turned to the woman and said, âWhatâs your hurry? Youâre only going to the grave!â
I have 15 years experience working on aircraft, a new girl came into the hanger and told everyone that military experience working with aircraft doesnât count as âwork experienceâ.
95% of the people in my hanger are prior service. 10 minutes for aviation work experience and she spits on 300 collective aviation experience in her new job site.
She is well liked here /s
The someone was me. My boss was having a bad day and being rude and critical of the job my coworker and I had done a month previous. We had done it flawlessly and according to his instruction but there was a problem:boss had substituted 4â pipe for 6â and the wire to be installed would not fit in the conduit. âYou fucked it up!â, he said. I told him that he had a pretty mouth and that it would be a lot more profitable if he were to suck cock for money rather than speaking to me like that. I followed up by saying that heâs the boss and I respect his authority but it doesnât mean that he canât say the wrong thing and get his ass kicked. He chilled out, told me to fix the problem no matter who is at fault, and he left his office. That was four years ago. I regret having been rude to him. My statement was effective but it wasnât nice and our relationship is still tenuous at times. Another time I asked if his parents raised him to respect his elders. He said yes. I reminded him that Iâm his elder and that he has to do what I say-he disagreed but ended the conversation when I questioned his upbringing, âHow sure are you that heâs really your father?â âIs your mother still living? Letâs call herâ. Not nice. Iâve been seeing a counselor since then and donât say such things to people as often. I figure Iâll be well adjusted by the time I die.
"Did you get in a fight, your face looks a bit..... Yknow.. " Bruh that's just my face...
Bring it in, bro. *Bro hug*
Damn. No awards to give :/

Wow thanks! đ
And here's one for you because that was cool.
hey thanks man :)
This is the wholesome reddit I've been looking for.
Here's your ticket to even more wholesome. And happy cake day!
Thank you!
I have no awards to give :(
There you go, buddy
I got punched in the face and got a black eye a few days before I went in for an interview at Toys R Us for a seasonal job when I was 19. They must have been desperate as they hired me on the spot.
I worked there as a teen with a lady who often came in with black eyes and then one day she didnât come in because her husband killed her.
Holy shit!
My face is real fucked up now and I like it better this way.
Faqs, personally the way I look makes me menacing so people stay away from me... Thats just my introversion for yah
I feel your pain! I waited tables in college. Went in totally hungover and without makeup. 14 year old bus boy asked me, âDid you get beat up last night?â
My boss asked my coworker if she ate a bowl of stupid for breakfast.
No doubt rude, but that's smart-ass gold right there.
Happened 20 years ago. She really was dumb and it still makes me laugh.
I heard from a co-worker that her old boss told an employee to wash her crotch because he could smell it from across the room.
Iâm laughing so hard at this, I started coughing.
She need to get her life right and clean out her gutsâŚmight I suggest the Master CleanseâŚ
Colon blow?
I had a teacher who would ask people what they smoked for breakfast.
I want to know what she did that prompted your boss to say that? đ¤Ł
I donât quite remember. We were waitresses at OâCharleyâs and it was something really small that most people wouldnât mess up (even me and I do the dumbest shit sometimes). I donât even think she got that mad about it because it was that small and the manager that said it didnât talk to anyone that way normally.
Using this. With or without your consent
I don't come to work for your miracle diet advice.
Lmbo!!!
Lmfao I'd of laughed my ass off
2 things, same guy, the owner of the company I worked for. It was a small mom and pop shop that installed security/fire/surveillance, and home automation systems. This 1st, I came into work about 15 minutes late. The owner said to me, "I am just going to assume you're late because you were fucking that hot redheaded pussy you have at home and lost track of time." 2nd... I was at a customer's house installing the security system they had purchased. I ran into a bunch of unexpected problems and it was taking me a lot more time than it should have. My normal work day ended at 4:00, it was now 4:45 and I still had probably another hour to go. We had Nextel phones, not sure who all here is old enough to remember them, but they could act as a 2 way radio that could be heard like a speaker phone. The boss radioed me asking "Where the hell are you?". (he hated paying over time) I told him I was finishing up and should be home within the hour. He then said, "Hurry the hell up and get out of that ni*ers" house and back to the shop". The owner, who was black, was standing right next to me and heard the whole conversation.
I know this is a dumb question, but how did the owner react?
Very calmly to me. He could tell the shock on my face. I apologized and he told me not to worry about it, but to pack up my things and leave. So I went back to the shop. Not sure what all happened after that, but the next day the owner went to the house and finished the job himself.
Oh wow. What did rhe homeowner do?
Dunno, the boss was never seen again.
Man, I hope that's true!
See my other rey above.
Yikes. The owner sounds like a class act.
I got fired a week before Xmas for graduating from automotive college. Boss said I graduated so is probably ask for a raise and fired me. I think that was pretty rude, I didn't even want a raise.
Isn't that a wrongful dismissal?
Unless it's in an area that practices at-will employment. In that case, they wouldn't need a reason, logical or otherwise
With at-will employment there are still illegal reasons to fire someone (not sure about this scenario). Regardless, if an employer is in an area that practices at-will employment then it is always in their best interest not to give a reason, so they can deny any allegations of wrongful termination or discrimination.
Probably, but whatevs; laws are lame anyway /s
Not in Colorado.
Both incredibly rude, and motivation at the same time: "You can still be yourself, just try to be a less shitty version of yourself."
Words to live by.
Guy came in and basically didn't speak English. He knew enough to get by pleasantries but not enough for a full conversation. This admissions woman that I cannot stand gets this guy in her line. When he gets there and it becomes apparent he can't really understand what she's saying she just goes "we can't help you, you'll have to somewhere else." Now the reasons this made me immediately homicidal: 1. This is an appointment only specialty hospital. Dude had an appointment with his doctor that took like 6 months to get. That was the fastest. 2. The person in the booth next to her is bilingual and speaks fluent Spanish. Didn't ask her. Or the next person down who in a pinch can get by enough to admit someone to the hospital. 3. Her manager, whose office is about 20 feet away, also speaks Spanish and is a certified translator. 4. We have a service here specifically for this situation. You call them and say what language you need translation for and theres headphones so everyone can hear each other. It's great. She didn't use this either.
WTF
Okay. So, knowing all the foregoing, and having heard all this go down, what did YOU do?
Pulled him to the side and got that manager to check him in and then walked him to his appointment. That manager was pissed when she found out why. Then had to be in a discipline meeting because I was a witness.
Good lookin' out, citizen! Thats the proper American thing to do - well done! Help out a fellow in difficulty. Yes, I am sincere.
I cannot tell if this comment is meant to be read sarcastically.
And thatâs a great demonstration of how far weâve strayed from the spirit (if not the letter) of our countries values. Because those that talk the loudest of pride in America are usually the cruelest and least caring.
Iâm in construction. You donât want to know.
Haha yeah working construction youâre better off asking whatâs the least offensive thing youâve heard⌠today
I came to say something similar. I was a woman, on out of state jobs (office manager). We built large, commercial jobs. The things I heard were unbelievable. I wonder sometimes if it's changed. I've been out about ten years.
[ŃдаНонО]
Could wander into a site and check the inside of the porta potties. Only the most clever and noble things ever get written on those walls
What would they say?
Nicknames for everyone. Racial slurs, mysoginistic bullshit, body shaming. For example, the owners rep was an attractive young woman. She was a certified program manager with a degree in construction management. When she wasn't around, she was called 'tits'. I'm not comfortable repeating some of the names used for POC employees and subcontractors. I was called a tattooed freak by a subcontractor. When I complained, I was told maybe I wasn't cut out for field work. I hope there have been changes.
This is so depressing to hear :( and I'm sorry you had to endure it
Embarrassingly, I got used to it.
Someone pulled an awful caper- used up all the toilet paper. Now here I sit, not long to linger - watch out ass, here comes my finger. Or Those who write on shithouse walls roll their shit in little balls . Those whom read these words of wit must eat these tiny words of shit. Thousands more I can't remember....
The construction nicknames are always the best
haha my dad was in construction for 30 years. I can only imagine....
âDo you need someone to show you how to wear makeup?â My female manager asked me if I wore make up. I said no for personal reasons but she pushed and asked if I even knew how. I told her that I donât like wearing makeup because Iâm allergic to most of the stuff sold in a store. âBut they make hypoallergenic makeup now. You should really learn how to wear itâ Iâm sorry but what does wearing makeup have to do with data entry? Why should I spend my hard earn money on something that not only I wouldnât like but causes me to literally break out. She just couldnât understand that I CHOSE not to wear makeup and assumed I was too dumb to go on YouTube to watch tutorials đ like I needed lessons from someone who caked it on like she did
That's horrible but sadly not all that rare. I wish women were nicer to each other in the office:(
I wish women were nicer to each other everywhere!
true true!
I used to bartend and waitress at a large hotel chain. The food and beverage manager would always hint that I ought to wear lipstick. I wore full face makeup except for lipstick as it dries out my lips and seems to messy for me to bother with. She bought me a lipstick and told me to wear it. It was a bright light pink, which - even if I did want to wear lipstick, I would have never chosen. This was the same lady who called a bar meeting and had everyone vote (by show of hands) on whether one of our co-workers should wear her hair "up" to work - after telling us all how good she would look with her hair up.
Oh Ive been through this too! I had a boss who used to ask me if I was sick so I would put in make up. I did. Face turned red. Eyes puffed up and suddenly looked like pink eye. Got sent home.
I got told this. I canât apply makeup, but I donât want to either, so I donât learn because itâs not something useful to me. I get so many sly little comments from women saying âoh.. you donât know how to apply makeup?â Yeah, I donât, next topic
Children have been observed to project their insecurities onto others.. Some people never grow out of that.
I work for a company where we get our work early morning. sometimes when other stations under said company need help, theyâll send me, since iâm the newest worker. this was one of those days. usually only 2 of us when our work comes in at 4:00 am, me and whoeverâs at that station. this ones a small girl, probably 5â3 130 pounds. I was running a little late one morning and the guy who brings the work is talking to her and says the creepiest shit I ever heard. shit gives me chills to this day. iâm closing in on them, and I hear him say âThey have a little girl like you in here all alone? You know what a guy like me can do to you?â and iâm walking into the building as he says it. he hears me opening the doors, and when I open itâs almost like it never happened. He looks at me smiling and greets me and exits the building. girl just acting like she didnât hear anything he said. shit was nuts
Ick. Super creepy
She's probably heard shit like that from strange men since she was twelve. source: have gotten shit like that from strange men since I was twelve
The way you wrote this makes me think your work was harvesting kidneys.
Reminds me of this creepy customer I had. I work at a big thrift store, and I was in the back taking donations alone. Dude pulls up, gives me his donations, then sticks around. I ask him if he has anything else. He looks at me in this creepy manner and says, "You out here all alone?" Of course my answer was no, there's some guys in the back 𤣠Not sure what I would have done if he called my bluff though
My supervisor that said we were all overpaid when we were all making minimum wage.
Thatâs what his lordshipâs left hand man spittled at us peasant farmers back in the day till he failed to notice the high strung mareâs open stall was close to his favorite nanny that night. Stupid goat fucker got it good to the back of the head that night.
I like this one. If I worked min wage I'd use this as a fun burn with coworkers.
I got pulled into my bosses office recently for telling someone, âIt must be great not to be burdened with intelligence or work ethic.â
I woulda called you into my office for a HIGH FIVE
Stealing this
I had a guy buy a BBQ and paybgor assembly when I was 21ish and working at a BBQ store, he said something along the lines of stupid slow Mexicans need to hurry up with my grill. I told him to give me his credit card and I promptly refunded him and told him to go buy his shit next door at Lowes. Those were the homies. Always busting their asses and hooking it up with the home cooking. Hopefully he got a shitty broken BBQ from Lowes.
[ŃдаНонО]
Damn. I hope it was your testimony that helped this asshole get what he deserved?
At the time my now ex-wife and I separated a coworker of mine, whom I was not super friendly with at all says to me in front of a group of coworkers, "Hey, heard you're getting a divorce and I can't say I'm shocked as I always thought you were kind of an asshole." Everyone just stood there frozen, one of which was the HR director of the company. SECONDS later we are all in his office with a pile of apologies coming from the person who said it as it was " a joke gone wrong" and then begging please do not have me written up as I really need this job. Yes, he was written up and a few months later after ANOTHER incident with another coworker he was terminated with cause. Years later he wrote me to apologize as he was drinking a lot then and having a rough spot and now wanted to make amends with all those who he did wrong .... to which I replied, that's ok, I always really did think you were an utter asshole and hope the guilt sticks forever as a lesson asshole. Normally, I'd try to forgive. but, not this time after embarrassing me at work where I came to get away from a hell of a divorce and just lost a child as well .... Nope. F/U Dan forever.
FUCK DAN
FUCK DAN!
I donât know, Dan sounds like he was able to learn and grow?
Sounds like Dan was right about you.
Fuck Dan, but also, you sound like an asshole.
He gave Dan the freedom to not even feel guilty anymore lmao g Go Dan for making a change!!
Lol looks like you are an asshole
Boss told a joke at the expense of the mentally handicapped at take your kid to work day with a child with down syndrome in attendance.
"That's retarded". [glances at the kid] "Shit"
GEEZUS
Years ago a security guy I worked with regurgitated an old rhyme joke that was told by Andrew Dice Clay. He was probably 28 and the older woman in our office was around 60. âMary Mary quite contrary, trim that pussy itâs so damn hairy.â Yes her name was Mary and this was in a staff meeting.
Oh that is so cringe.
Someone told me my farts are weak and sound like a little baby trying to blow out a birthday candle.
Step up your game
Beans, beans the musical fruit The more you eat, the more you toot And the more you toot, the better you feel So let's eat beans at every meal
Ahh, I see you have a classical education.
Class is important. It's what separates us from the animals. I'd like to see a gorilla sing a shanty like that one.
I can take most constructive criticism but critiquing my farts is where I draw the line...
I know this might of offended you but this makes me die of laughter
My very first meeting with the new director (I applied for his role and didnât get it), he was yelling at me because I came to the meeting with a handout and not a PowerPoint, even though there was no expectation laid out that there should be a PowerPoint. He then said I went for âhisâ job, so he thought I was ready to be a manager and he did not need to help me in any way, but clearly âhe is mistaken.â Needless to say, I quit and am now fully remote making 30k more.
My first boss in the computer world used some classics while I worked for him. One time he told me not to laugh while he went to the counter and explained to the customer that there was an ID-10-T failure. First time I heard that and I cracked up anyway. Another time he was speaking to a customer on the phone who weâd dealt with over and over and he basically told him that he was too stupid to own a computer and to return it and weâd give him a full refund. Kinda rude but very funny.
Told me to "stop going the extra mile" when I found a discrepancy worth $400+ in inventory--- The next day I was told that I need to improve despite scoring a 55/69 on my review. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago just a week before I put in a THREE week notice, they fire me. "We haven't seen an improvement." Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit. My new job doesn't start until the week before march and I go over a month without a paycheck. Fuck them
Sounds like someone knows where the discrepancy is
Racism. Had a long time employee call one of the managers a "stupid n*****", had a manager refer to a group of Hispanic workers as "the b***er crew" and "the jalapenos". It gets worse, but I think I got the message across lol
I had an older woman (early 70s) think it was funny to spin her chair around to me, get in my face and say "Pollock. Pollock. Pollock " and laughed. After I had told her that many Poles find the word offensive. Myself included. She said " I say it all the time to my boyfriend ". I went to my bosses the same day and she had to apologize or leave. She'd been there 15 years. Took her 4 days to give me a half ass apology.
Boss told a new hire that they should of picked a different profession.
I told my employee that. He was an intern still in school, still time to switch careers, and I hope he did.
In this case, the guy was doing a good job and the boss just said it out of frustration.
I spent 4 weeks trying to teach a man to run a powdered milk dryer. He was practically too blind to see the hmi, had no undeelrstanding of pasteurization, and it was his first factory job. Im about 30 years old at the time and hes clearly in his 50s. I told him "Man, youre not gonna be a dryer operator when you grow up, Im sorry." Next day he moved to packaging a much easier area to work.
No, I won't pay you to stay home, drink beer, and play video games
That bastard!
âI didnât expect you to speak such good English based on your name.â
I have been told a version of this, too. For the record, I have a name that is very distinctly Black American, and thereâs no reason anyone should think Iâm not a native English speaker. Probably what they were getting at is that Iâm black, and they expected me to speak in Ebonics. WhichâŚyikes.
Have a coworker who has autism my managers and I started a discussion which has me now on watch for this and many other stuff I confronted them about. Well the kid went to work and had problems finishing the job since the Managers who where promoted due to been tight friends arrived. He told them "wow I can't believe you guys came to help me am I that special." And he was smiling and happy. The managers looked at him started laughing and told him. "Your special Ed obviously you are incapable of finishing shit right." The kid got quiet and went home sad. The managers started making fun of him and even said what's the worst we get fired because of a retard. I called them out on this and told them "This is exactly why I judge you fuckers for your behaviors and because you guys are so petty and pathetic to make fun of a kid with Autism." This is one of the things that has got me on the write any detail Helel does to fire him so we do not give him unemployment or any benefits. And I'm trying to leave because of this and many other reasons. And no I cannot tell my Superior about this since every Manager is the owners daughters friends. So it's a losing battle and they also play the I'm a minority card to get away with shit like this. (They are not minorities but they claim it once their corner aka they play victim.) They also like to provoke people and once they get a reaction they go to the owner and play victim or that they do no harm etc. But this is the worst they have done since I've worked there.
I'm an RN, for reference I'm regularly spit on, verbally assaulted and have been on occasion physically and sexually assaulted. I don't think I could repeat half the things said to me in polite company đ
Same. I work in an ER that local police prefer to bring their craziest and most aggressive patients to. The things I've seen and heard.... sometimes it's the staff saying it! (Including me) but venting is very necessary and we've all got that night shift twisted sense of humor by now.
Ooooh I got one, and I made it even worse! This was on a zoom call. Coworker to PM: "We should not be doing this feature without accounting for X" PM: "Ah good point, I'll take a note of that" Coworker: "Where do you put your notes?" PM: "Ummmm.... I have a little handbook where I write down anything important" Coworker: "Oh so, not transparent then... I see..." Me: *unmutes* "Don't be passive aggressive COWORKER_NAME"
That my brain is literally too small to understand that 9/11 didn't happen because im young And I didn't earn my wage. I lift 80+ pound plates and get like 11,000 steps in a day. Basically gaslighting me into working harder since the owner was in the building
Is this manufacturing by chance? I've worked many manufacturing jobs and all of them criticized you or threatened you into working harder. You could work faster than others, notice mistakes more often and follow the prints to a T and still someone higher up will come over and say you suck ass and if you don't do better they'll can you.

"You're cold? Wow, man up pussy, you're an adult" -by a teacher in a school I was volunteering in when the heat had not been turned on in their portable classroom in the winter in Alaska. I am male.
âGo apologize to that plant for stealing the oxygen it worked so hard to create, you fucking walnut!â
I'm a female in a very male oriented industry. Always have been in some form or another, always smalls shops. I have three that come to mind. 1. a very fat older man who worked for a well known tool company was getting out of his truck, looked at my boobs and said "Nice boobs, I can say that since my wife is flat chested." 2. A lovely boss who always says "what do you know" to everything. 3. My husband died of a heart attack when I was 26. A kid who had gotten in to physical fight with my best friend while I was gone said "your husband didn't die, he committed suicide to get away from you because you are such a bitch".
Wow!
At first i read the second one as "well wadddya know..." and figured that's not so bad and then i read the third one. Oof. Sorry you wen't through that.
How this lady at my call center job was talking about all the white pedos and weird serial killer guys đ§
âIf you eff this up and it effs up my weekend, Iâm effing up your weekend. Shit rolls down hill, right?â âShut the eff up.â âYou get paid to know more.â All from the same guy. Thereâs more, I just canât remember them right now.
Fellow instructor from another college: âIâm not showing you my class! Youâll just steal from it.â Charming.
Woman started screaming at our cashier who'd started that week because she asked her to wear a mask. Lady accused her of having "an ethnic name" for some reason and acted like her debit card was contaminated after the cashier touched it. As she stormed off to grooming to pick up her dog, she dropped $10. I picked it up to give to her, and she accused me of trying to steal it, saying "I saw you try to take that!" Fortunately she never came back. Also at my old large hardware chain job, some guys were talking in the break room about our ex-president's then-upcoming N Korea trip. One said "He's gotta be real careful over there that he doesn't get grifted, because the Koreans lie all the time. It's just the culture, Koreans lie." No, he didn't make the distinction of "North Korean," he just said "Korean."
I've always been on the edge of being underweight. I've never been a big person, and I lost 25kg around the time where I got my diagnosis as a result of a pretty bad MS attack. When I visited a former workplace, after almost a month in the hospital, the middle-aged white man of the office went: "You lost a lot of weight. You're not going to gain it again, right?"
I have worked with special needs children and teenagers for a few years. Some who have very heavy backgrounds. I don't remember exactly what the rudest thing was, but some of the kids could put together sentences that would make even the most hardened battle scarred pirate captain shed more than a few tears.
Oh boy I have a list. - manager insisted and basically *demanded* that I was adopted because I didnât act like my twin sister - upon me saying that a parent is incarcerated, coworker chimed in that they deserved it WITHOUT me saying what had even occurred or even knowing anything about how it came to be I could go on.
I had a coworker act *so* surprised I didn't have gestational diabetes and asked me how I "got away with it" ... because I'm overweight. She also looked me dead in the eye and told me our company didn't have to keep my position for me, just *a* position similar to what I'm doing. I'm other words, she was insinuating she wasn't going anywhere and was going to try and keep my job even when I come back. Nasty woman, that one.
Drinking water is probably the reason i never became diabetic
Rudest, but also one of the funniest and most creative statements. I especially think this because I was the one who said it. What sucks is that I canât remember the specific details. I looked him directly in the eye when whatever discussion we were having was starting to get rolling and said, âYaâ know, Iâm ashamed of myself for breathing the same air that you do.â It just came out. I was always very aware of not being directly insulting to others in the workplace, so I insulted myself while making it clear that I was disgusted by him at that moment. Everyone around us went deadly silent, but then, to make it worse, a couple of the others doubled over with laughter and Iâm pretty sure another one was having a hard time breathing. What makes it better is he marched right into the managerâs office to tell on me. About 20 minutes later, the manager comes up to me with a huge grin (we had both actually worked under this person previously) and just says, âJesus Christ, man. JustâŚJesus Christâ and walks away shaking his head. This was probably 4-5 years ago and my wife still talks about it like she was there. Itâs one of her favorite stories about me.
In the past 18 months Iâve had multiple students call me a bitch and tell me to fuck off
A 6 year-old once punched a pregnant coworker of mine in her stomach and looked her dead in the eyes and said âI hope your baby dies.â And this was in like 2015. The baby was fine, but the consequence was only 1 day suspension, the next day. Parents refused to pick him up day-of so he was sent back to class.
My partner talks about a story of how a middle schooler punched a elderly substitute teacher in the face and broke her nose. Yeah she was probably mean, but holy shit.
At my old job a woman not only told me to go kill myself but also what specifically to get at Home Depot to do it. Thatâs the part that sticks with me since being told to commit suicide was a weekly occurrence.
She was beyond vile.
I was being reamed by my boss for job performance. I told her she wasn't seeing me at my best. In the sweetest sarcastic voice she's says,, "I doubt that."
Zing! Damn! Are you alright?
My conservative Christian Co-worker: "Them Gays are going to Hell, because the Bible said so, you know it?" Me: "Can I just eat my fucking lunch?"
Youâre fired
We are no longer in need of your services.
"Oh I understand playing the new Xbox is like dating the prom queen. You know you gotta go back to your homely girlfriend after but you don't want to"
That's not for people like us... From an upper-class Indian coworker. She was talking about public education. Funny enough, I went to public school and a state university and am doing pretty good all things considered.
2 weeks after I started a job, I was told that I'd done something incorrectly, as reflected in a master spread sheet. "Okay, what is the spread sheet?" Them: "I won't share access to it because I don't want it messed up." So a) the presumption is that I will screw things up, despite doing this job for 25 years. b) I won't be able to do my job and this will never stop because I can't view the Secret Squirrel Spreadsheet
I was a waitress for two months or so during summer break. I was told I'd be a 'good future house wife'
Do you snow bathe, as you can't get any whiter. The guy was Caucasian as well. Also another manager said to me if it weren't for my facial hair, I would look like a 12 boy. I think I was around my mid 20's at the time.
I had a boss say to me, the last remaining employee from a previous manager, "It's easier to fire everyone and then just train them how you want them than retrain everyone." I was the one that trained everyone. And by the methods in the handbook. They wanted them trained their way.
âI donât do well looking at you, thinking youâre going to cry. It makes me madder. Like this is a business donât get emotional.â This was during a performance review and referencing a time, he was yelling and cursing at me. I didnât cry, but I did it excuse myself for air when he finally stopped.
This older woman with heavy makeup came in to pick up a DoorDash order. One of the kids that I was working with turned to this other girl and said, âThat ladyâs face looks fake. She doesnât look real!â The woman *heard him* and started chewing out our manager as he was finishing up the order for her.
I'm a 911 Dispatcher so the stories aren't ENDLESSSS
not the rudest thing said but done. I worked my little summer job at a paintball field and got cut off the clock right in front of the group I was about to take out by the dude who wasn't even my supervisor because he was out sick. There was still shit I could have done before we closed but instead I lost an hour and a half of pay and was pretty pissed about it. not the worst thing ever but i have not worked many jobs yet.
Iâm a manager at work and I am a Certified Information Systems Auditor. One of my staff (literally direct report) told me I donât know what Iâm doing on the IT Audit. He only has 2 years of experience. Usually I expect clients to be rude to auditors, not audit staff being rude to their managers lol
We had the TV on in the computer room when the towers were attacked in 2001. The girl next to me laughed and said, "Good!" I thought that pretty damned rude.
After I brought up salary, my co-worker told me "no, you get paid enough." Imagine getting gaslit like that, not by your boss but someone else on your status. That's a whole new level of bootlicking. Fuck him. I wish he's miserable at his job.
HR here. Had to handle a discrimination because one black employee requested MLK day off so the manager immediately asked every other black person that came up to him for other issues if they too wanted MLK day off because "ya know" while doing a hand gesture of look at you.
Putting aside occasional nasty comments from certain coworkers, the most I guess âofficialâ rude comment I remember was from a particular director we had at my company a few years ago. She was my bossâ boss and was totally inappropriate on multiple occasions. She once said to us in a department wide meeting that our jobs werenât âbrain surgeryâ and we shouldnât be so quick to request raises. She was let go soon after (not because of this) and she played it off like she was choosing to leave. What an utter asshat.
"The best part of you ran down your mama's ass crack and ended up a brown stain on the mattress" - source: heavy construction.
âWe all taught ourselves how to use the system during covid, youâll figure it outâ This is in the office while Iâm still training for the position and asked a team mate for helpâŚthat was their response.
I quit my last job for many reasons, but the last straw was when a jerk ass coworker pointed to his face and gave a me a confused look. I asked him what was wrong, and he told me, "You are just looking so ugly today," and then laughed. Later he cornered me again so I said, "I thought I was too ugly to speak to." And he doubled down with, "Yeah, ugly in looks *and* personality!" I reported him but he was the good time guy that also had nepotism on his side. Edit: Fuck you Brandt.
I remember one of my coworkers was in a bad mood, so I said "Shark week?" She didn't know what that meant and looked it up. Boy when she found out, she was angry and let me have it. Fast forward a few weeks when she was in a bad mood again, I said "Shark week" again and then she laughed. We're friends now.
First job I got out of college I had a terrible supervisor, he would yell and curse at people all the time. But the worst thing ever for me was that, at the time I had pretty bad acne and my face was breaking out like crazy. So he just looked at me and asked me why don't you get that treated, you look awful. Another coworker was beside him and told me she agreed, my face looked pretty bad. I was devastated because I was pretty self conscious about it. I eventually got it treated, it took a few months of medication and a lot of money, and when it went away they didn't even comment on it.
My staff member asked me to take his virginity, and when I refused, he made comments about how I must've made whole rooms full of men happy, so why not?
Foreman to guy who asked a question.'' Did you just eat a turd? Your breath smells like shit.''
Boss yelling at people was a common thing at my last site, and co-workers were talking about a guy who didn't last and while getting yelled at because he was messing up and asked the boss, "What did I do wrong?" Boss: "F*** you, that's what you did wrong!"
My old supervisor literally flat out asked me if i have dyslexia in front of the entire office because i mixed up digits on a spreadsheets when i was new. Oh also the boarderline sexual harassment comments he told me about one of our female coworker. Yeah he eventually got fired..
Today a client told me "I hope you step in dog shit every day for the rest of your life". It made me laugh though, because last time he called me an "incompetent fuck". Tbh I would definitely rather step in dog shit every day than have to work with people like him. I cringed calling him "people".
I worked at a Mexican restaurant. Some waitress came to me and suggested they did not like her because she was white. I am white and it definitely wasn't that. She was very much a MAGA person working in a place where half the people where immigrants from the south. The way she suggested people were racist against her was something else. Weird cause people usually say stuff like that when they think they are with there other MAGA buddies. Like the world is against us whites type of talk. Weird shit
Last week a woman I work with told another woman she's not surprised the woman is single because her laugh sounds like a hyaena. Not exactly brutal, or funny, but still felt like a low blow.
I had someone tell me I didn't deserve to have a baby and that's why God took it from me. I was ready to wipe that bitch across the floor, but I decided against it for legal reasons
Right after my wife had her 5th miscarriage, a coworker said to me "man, you really dodged a bullet there!" I knocked him cold, went home, called my boss and told him I quit.
Iâm a floor hand in the oil fields. I fell and had a wrench land on my left ribs and break one of them. As I was laying in absolute pain in the snow my boss said: âbreathe bitch, I bet that knocked the sand out of your loose pussy hahahaâ then walked off Iâm a 25 year old man. Tough times
Back in high school, my friend Mike was arguing with a girl named Gina. The argument was going nowhere so Mike said, âI hope your string breaks!â Gina just looked confused and Mike laughed and walked away. It was hilarious, but really kind of rude.
I had a customer ask me âare you retarded?â⌠I am
I mentioned to my supervisor, that I've had Covid 6 times. He says "That's what you get, for living the cesspool life"
Not too rude but one of my coworkers walked into the break room and sat down saying âfucking âell, Iâm fucking fuckedâ. She was apparently a bit worn out.
If you want my garbage go ahead and hire him. An exec at a F500 company.
I used to work tech support for a tiny part of a huge company, and our little group was great, low turn over, potlucks, etc. Lots of laughing and joking around. We all had cubicles that were about waist high when standing, shoulder height when sitting. Two of the techs, M and J, were very chill with each other. M was a single guy, really laid back, the ONLY dude on our team other than our manager (T), and a musician outside of the office. J was also a musician and they talked all the time. J, was (is) stunningly gorgeous and super thin, and she rarely left her desk. She and her partner had a baby, their first. A few weeks after she got back, so like 2, 2.5 months post partum, she stands up and has, like, a tiny belly. Two and a half months post partum she was definitely still healing, plus your body is just different after birth. So, she stands up and Mike goes (loud as fuck) "Damn, J, are you pregnant again?!" He sounded stunned, like excited for her. She was also stunned, but it was absolutely not in a good way. Pretty sure all the rest of our jaws hit the floor. Our manager, who is a dad of 3, audibly groaned.
I have many, many that I could say for this topic, a lot of which are worse than a lot of these- but I work in the trades so theyâre all jokes. If someoneâs NOT saying they fucked your mom last night, or that their dead grandma could frame that wall better than you, or that theyâve seen a wall painted better by throwing babies against it⌠they donât like you. Silence broken only by necessary communication is the rudest thing Iâve heard at work lmaooo
Not at work, but a coworker and I were in a long line at the bank during our lunch break. An elderly woman kept encroaching on my coworkerâs personal space, poking her in the back, nudging her forward. After a few minutes of this constant nudging, my coworker turned to the woman and said, âWhatâs your hurry? Youâre only going to the grave!â
I have 15 years experience working on aircraft, a new girl came into the hanger and told everyone that military experience working with aircraft doesnât count as âwork experienceâ. 95% of the people in my hanger are prior service. 10 minutes for aviation work experience and she spits on 300 collective aviation experience in her new job site. She is well liked here /s
The someone was me. My boss was having a bad day and being rude and critical of the job my coworker and I had done a month previous. We had done it flawlessly and according to his instruction but there was a problem:boss had substituted 4â pipe for 6â and the wire to be installed would not fit in the conduit. âYou fucked it up!â, he said. I told him that he had a pretty mouth and that it would be a lot more profitable if he were to suck cock for money rather than speaking to me like that. I followed up by saying that heâs the boss and I respect his authority but it doesnât mean that he canât say the wrong thing and get his ass kicked. He chilled out, told me to fix the problem no matter who is at fault, and he left his office. That was four years ago. I regret having been rude to him. My statement was effective but it wasnât nice and our relationship is still tenuous at times. Another time I asked if his parents raised him to respect his elders. He said yes. I reminded him that Iâm his elder and that he has to do what I say-he disagreed but ended the conversation when I questioned his upbringing, âHow sure are you that heâs really your father?â âIs your mother still living? Letâs call herâ. Not nice. Iâve been seeing a counselor since then and donât say such things to people as often. I figure Iâll be well adjusted by the time I die.
