#3 There’s A Massive Hole In My Pants And I Only Noticed An Hour Ago. No One Said Anything To Me

Image source: stalkerofthedead I have a puppy who is almost a year old. My adorable, tiny turd loves chewing on clothes. Shirts, pants, underwear. She doesn’t care; she will eat it. I lost a pair of black pants to the destroyer of clothing a few days ago, and I thought I threw them out (the pants, not the dog.) I now realize, with horror, that I put the wrong ones in the discard pile. Meaning, I wore the ones with a huge hole in the bottom. To work. With people. Lots of people. I dropped a couple of things and had to pick them up.

#26 My Boss Thinks It's A Great Idea To Randomly Pull The Fridge Plug To Save Energy

Image source: EmmaTheUseless At first it was only on the weekends, now it's just randomly. You don't even save any energy by turning the fridge on and off, also this makes just the perfect environment for bacteria and mold to grow.

#33 Ever Made A $100,000 Mistake?

Image source: M0NG00SY I was recently moved to shipping for an ink-making company. While unloading a dark trailer, I punctured a 2000-pound tote of water-based ink; the entire thing emptied in seconds. The whole trailer, dock door, and outside were turned blue. Even though it's water-based, it still had water pollutants in it, so the EPA had to be called in due to it getting into the sewer. The specialty company that was called in to clean up has spent the last 3 weeks digging up the sewer and surrounding ground that had been contaminated. A few days of heavy rain haven't helped the cleanup at all. Needless to say, I had a nervous breakdown and missed 2 days of work. I got a call asking if I was quitting, which would possibly lead to criminal charges (don't know if that's possible, but I know I can fire back for not having dock lights and fork trucks with dim headlights). Being close to 3 weeks out, I can finally think back and laugh at this situation.
