What are your crazy stories??

One of the companies I worked for had a sub-company that was a temp agency. TONS of good stories come from temp agencies!!! Here are just a few…..

We did drug testing there and the number of stories from the nurses that ran that department. My favorite is the one where the guy was taking a long time in the bathroom. When he finally came out there was a growing white spot on his jeans and he smelled of bleach. His urine still came back positive for drugs but was all kinds of messed up (and stinky). So it turns out that sneaking Clorox into the bathroom to bleach your drug pee totally doesn’t work. Spilling it on yourself in the process doesn’t help either.

There was the woman that must not have been able to find a pen when she filled out her time sheet. She also couldn’t find a pencil, a crayon, a marker or even an eyeliner. So she filled out her time sheet with nail polish.

There was a company that really wanted to hire a certain person, they got him set up in the system but he didn’t have his documents authorizing his right to work. You have to have the documentation within three days of starting or the employer can not continue to employ you. Well the HR Specialist tried for three days to get this guy to bring in his paperwork. He was told he couldn’t continue to work and to come to the office to pick up his check. Well he came in and would not produce any paperwork. He sat across from her just staring at her. He didn’t say a word but she felt very threatened. She eventually asked him if he got his check would he leave and never come back. He nodded. So she handed him the check and we never saw him again. Scary!

I also worked for a hospital group. We didn’t drug test our employees. I don't think we had any particular problem with drug use. At least nothing that came to my attention. But still, I am not sure why the powers that be didn't want one in place. Any thoughts?


So what are your funny, crazy, sassy HR stories?
