Today's scared witless at work story . .

[Ekirh]

So I work at a soy sauce factory .. . which isn't exactly a place you work for if you crave excitement.. adventure . .

but doesn't mean you can't have a little fun.


So I was working in the press area.. we had just finished unloading the press cake and we had baskets of cloths to put in the washer. . so I walk away for a few minutes. . .

Hence a co-worker hops in the basket of laundry . . and buries himself in the cloths . .

Well I return stick my hand in the cloths and he grabs it, jumping out of the cloths, and goes OGGA BOOGA!!!!

I literaly jumped in the air and landed on my back . . I was completely caught the fuck off guard people.

I proceeded to chase him around with a shovel for a few minutes . .

Ahhh the things that happens when the supervisor goes home early.

1. Soy sauce is

made out of clothes? Did you brain him with the shovel?

[Ekirh]

5. No I didn't brain him . .

He still had work to do . . Last thing I need is the prep department being upset I took out one of their guys before he finished cleaning . . .

No it's not made out of cloths.. what it is. . we're stacking the cloths . . and pouring sauce on them . . we then PRESS the liquid out of the cloths and remove all of the solid stuff.. which we then send to a farmer for whatever he uses it for.

6. I learn something new

everyday on DU. I think the shovel to the head is an after work experience anyway.

My SO once told his fellow employees that his boss chased him around with a spatula. They were kind of like, "Wow, really?" er umm no, not really. :silly:

2. I wish I had a job where I could chase people around with a shovel....

At my job, they'd call the cops. Probably a daily occurence there, with pranks like that.

BTW, remember, payback's a bitch. Get 'em.

3. Well. . .

They aren't always so lax. . . but since all the work was getting done . . and nothing was breaking down.. I guess everyone was too happy.

4. S'alright....everybody needs to vent.

We have "beer-thirty" in the kitchen on Fridays.

7. I work for the Marine Corps - not a good idea to scare anyone at work.....

8. My coworker hid in a crate in our server room once

After we had ordered a SAN, which is like a giant cabinet of hard drives. It came in a huge wooden box, big enough for a mummy. The server room is quiet, and only me and a couple others had access. So there is an expectation of being alone in there. My co-worker jumped out of that thing and startled the living shit out of me. I had to admit it was a good one.
