This is a question Lurid Work Stories

"I know a railwayman of 40-odd years' service," says Juan Quar, "and he tells me a new gruesome yarn each time we meet. Last week's was of checking the time on the wristwatch of a severed arm he'd just collected after a track fatality."

Tell us the horrible stories you tease the new hires with, or that you've been told.
NB By definition, these are probably all made up. Roll with it

I was interviewing people for a job as a programmer
One guy comes in and he's dressed in a clean white shirt with cream trousers and a cream tennis jumper casually draped over his shoulders - he looked like the stereotypical "preppy" posh guy. And he stank so much we had to cut the interview short, open all the windows and hang out of them, gasping.

He was, of course, French.

General BO, I'm afraid
To this day, I have no idea what his programming skills were like, as there was no way were going to employ someone when we couldn't even stay in the same room as him
