Stupid things that happen at work...

I have a little story for all of you. I work in a hotel and experience all sorts of interesting and entertaining events. Tonights event topped the naked lady running down the hall. Tonights event even tops the group of guys gathering in a hotel room where the same naked lady was being photographed by said guys.
While this story may not be as entertaining, it speaks of the stupidity of some individuals. As for how anyone can be raised without common sense is beyond me. The individual in this story can build and fly a airplane but can not cook a pizza in the oven. Anyways, onwards to the story.
I was doing some homework and suddenly the fire panel lights up. I think it is nothing bad, just someone cooking some food. I get off my ass and check what room it is and promptly give them a call on the phone to see what is going on. The phone rings again and again. After each ring I prepare myself for the shrill cries of a smoke alarm being set off. No one answers. My heart starts to race as I think that something might actually be wrong. I wonder why it happens on my shift when I am here all alone.
I quickly forward the phone and grab the keys that will grant me access to the room and bolt away from the desk. I head for the stairway since I do not want to wait for the elevator. Quickly I climb the stairs expecting the entire hotel to sound the fire alarm, but the alarm never roars. I reach the floor I need and enter the the hall only to be greeted with a light dusting of smoke hanging in the air. I rush down the hall towards the room and arrive slightly breathless.
I bang on the door and wait for a answer. I hold my hands on the door to see if it was hot to the touch. There was no answer and the door was still cool to my touch. I shove the keys in the lock and slowly creep the door open, expecting the worse. The room is filled with smoke and already my eyes start to itch. The lights are out so I flip the switch, flooding the room with a overcast of light. The room is empty and there is no fire to be seen.
As it runs out the occupant of the room decided to cook a pizza in the oven on broil. This person then decided to leave the room, turning off all the lights. Needless to say I went ahead and turned off the oven and opened the window and vacated the room as quickly as possible.
An hour later I go back to the room to see if anyone had bothered to come back. Still empty. Completely idiotic.
So I ask you all, what stupid or otherwise entertaining things happen at your work.

There is also no way burnt pizza is better than naked women.
who was up to no good
stared makin trouble in my neighborhood
I don't think he lives there anymore.
Your young
Now get on that street and work that junk bitch
first: you're
second: jesus christ I refuse to believe that teefs is actually that much of a whiner and a bitch
Besides, the first story involves the wasting of food!! To a poor college that is a mortal sin punishable by death! :P
A coworker said she was having serious health problems, went on sick leave in the middle of a major marketing project she was responsible for, flew back to england to look for a new job and spend company money, flew back to new york to attend a doctor's appointment so that her story holds up, flew back, spent more time looking for a new job and spending company money, and currently may or may not be spreading information about our office, i'm not sure.
The entire time she has been using the company cellphone which we pay for so the bill with all the phone numbers she calls and from where she calls them comes to us.
dumb broad.
I was like "Ma'am, you realize I'm not in control of the music?" Woman didn't care. She asked for a manager, I got one, and she hung up while I was handing the phone over.
I will only be happy when none of you can experience any of your evil capitalist happiness
I am the human equivalent of a plain wall.
a dang old burnt pizza?
tl;dr
Did you get in one little fight?
Did your mom get scared?
He was very remorseful.
Jesus
Just... how? Nailgun accident?
What... Why was it there? I'm hoping it was a construction accident, and not something meant to be erotic in any way, shape or form.
Caller: "Hi, I see you're advertising [phone] for [price]. I'd like to get that phone."
Me: "Alright, I see you just upgraded about two months ago, so I can get you that phone for [price++]."
Caller: "But I saw it for [price]!"
Me: "Well, yes, but that price is for people who are just signing up or haven't upgraded in the last year."
Caller: "Well, you shouldn't advertise that price if it isn't the same for everyone!" *hangs up*
Somebody just beat me unconscious, please.
that's quite a poop
Most people that come to my E.R. are rich pretentious pricks who think they shouldn't wait at all even though they are only there for a cough they couldn't wait until monday to get checked out.
That would be the worst T.V. show.
As for nail scrotum all I know is this:
he was thirty and came by ambulance at 10ish
he'd been to this hospital before
his wife never came to see him and I had to call him a cab
It was odd.
Yeah, most patients in the ER here just can't wait to see their doctor the next day. Then they bitch at the ED staff about having to wait for six hours for their cold, and how dare that patient with crushing chest pain or a stroke get seen first.
Sorry the people who might actually be dying tonight get to skip ahead.
And the reason it took so long to see you: there are thirty other whiners who came in before you for the same reason.

That means that the pharmacy people are learning on the fly, while the Rite Aid down the road starts transferring prescriptions to us, and the place is packed, and nobody knows what the fuck is going on. People are getting pissed, and rightfully so.
Guy: Hey! what kinda pizza you want!!!
Kid: *barely heard in background* pepperoni!
Guy: Alright! Now bring me the shovel!!!
Wierd...

ordering pizza and doing yard work
/shrug
tl:dr- skate punks broke a window and ran. I caught them. It was fun.
and every once in awhile i get to rebuild the bike display where some kid has completely obliterated any sense of order and organization
STEAM!
Night crew or do you actually get to stop the kids from doing said destruction as well?
I hate it. You have to do real work as the manager, instead of just telling the manager what work needs to be done. God dammit.
its not destruction, they just beg their parents to get them a bike down so they can try it then their parents leave said bike down instead of putting it back into the display
multiply this by at least five and at most twelve bikes per hour and this can get annoying
and i hate parents who complain that we have the ripstik on display and not locked down so people can try it, and their kids pull it down then bust their ass. Protip: pay attention to your own kids, especially in a toy store.
STEAM!
