Similar. Was a waiter at a hotel when a student. Was on the piss that weekend. Called in sick and ended up back in the hotel the same night with people having a party in a room (trying to shag some birds). Got spotted leaving via a fire escape still steaming in the morning. Did not turn up to the disciplinary. Never tried a mortar attack on work though, still time. Link to comment
Redforever86 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Once woke up in the premier inn on NW street half an hour after I was meant to start a shift. Just called in sick got away with it. Link to comment
RAZOR Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I phoned in sick when I worked at the gym in the Patio Hotel whilst chatting out my nut. The message got played in my disciplinary hearing. I started rambling about workers rights and persecutions in today's (2006) society. Written warning. 1 Link to comment

Made his money when the government was giving out livestock fencing grants along with hedging. All them grants have disappeared. That’s why you see so many roaming livestock in the summer.

The early email days before social Media when you mass forwarded on filth, thinking it was funny (the boss at the time had a chuckle) Seems some women colleagues thought differently - written warning Second time: The “boss” had it in for me (we’d had fisticuffs) so he was looking for a way to sack me, so he fashioned a written/final (I forget) warning out of nothing (over working offshore or some pish lol) so I jumped before I was pushed - pissed him off even more as he didn’t get to finish the job Sacked fae the Vic after not turning up for my shift…then turning up to prop up the bar having been up all night on the ping pong Currently awaiting the outcome of an investigation after (unintentionally) shelling the workplace with a makeshift cannon The last one is a corker 😂 I was let go from my first paper round job after dropping a stink bomb (not a euphemism for a fart) in the shop for a laugh. Or, thinking back maybe I threw the stink bomb after being sacked. Anyway, it didn’t end well as I had to go back up and apologise after he phoned my house to complain. £1 a morning and £2.50 on a Sunday for carting about all those bloody supplements. Slave labour. He deserved it imo. 1 Link to comment

1903Fitba Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Broke the clocking in/out machine at a Super Market I worked at so they wouldn’t notice me leaving early. Clocked me on CCTV breaking it though. Ah no. Link to comment

Haha £1 a day does sound bad, I suppose it took about an hour from start to finish before school. Still shit money and I remember getting a weekend job as a kitchen porter not too long afterwards for about £3.50 an hour and thinking I had hit the big time. Link to comment

The weekend was the bonus because you could turn up a wee bit later. If you went after opening time, the shopkeeper moved the papers off the shop floor through to the storeroom. All you had to do was wait till he was serving, go through and grab your papers, making sure to lift a box containing 200 Regal king size whilst there. Easy. Link to comment

I bumped up the pay a wee bit by taking some extra papers to sell en route at a nearby care home. And, a box of blue or green extra chewing gum which were sold at school for a knockdown rate of 10p a pack. Plus some of those pencils which had the wee bit at the end to click to get the new lead/carbon to appear. They were very popular despite the carbon bit breaking if you so much as breathed on it. 20p for those. An almost victimless crime. 1 Link to comment

maryhilldon Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I remember clearing about £5 a week delivering the Evening Express in the mid 80s. Only had to deliver about 20 papers, but there was a trek in-between each house. Had to collect the money from all the customers on a Friday and take it to the agents house. He was a mean looking English dwarf, gave me the fear 😄 Link to comment
