All council workers are idiots! (except me)
I currently work in a press office for a council in London (won't say which), and yes, although there are a lot of good people here, there are also people who seem like they've been lobotomised. I seriously dread ever having to book a meeting room.
But the worst are (unsurprisingly) the traffic wardens. The best warden related story I have is from a good few months ago, when a warden decided to leave a ticket on a motorcycle, parked on a double yellow. Fair enough, you'd think...
Not quite.
A few metres away, the motorcycle's owner was being carried into an ambulance after a nasty crash. How dare he leave his bike on a double-yellow!
The worst bit is (from my point of view), is that these dickheads thoughtlessly do these things, then I have to deal with the repercussions!

» Work Experience
Now I know this story may not be believed...
...but I shall share anyway. I once worked with someone who previously worked in the world of football agents, and I was told this tale from one of the players she dealt with.
Go back a few years into the mid-90s, and a certain team from the North-West who play in red were in Oslo in Norway for a friendly. The agency in Norway who were there to look after the players decided, in their wisdom, to send a very pretty young 18-year-old work experience girl to look after the team. Oh dear.
So the team go to a bar and start drinking, and of course are buying the pretty young Norwegian lots of drinks, and it quickly becomes clear that she is not used to this volume of drink. Of course she is still the centre of attention, but soon appears very worse-for-wear... until the players notice a strange smell... the poor girl has shat herself in front of them!
At this point the poor girl gets swiftly taken away by one of the players. When he is asked what happened the following morning, he tells that he took her back to her flat, cleaned her (and apparentally the phrase used was 'scooped the shit out'), showered her and fucked her. Very gentlemanly eh?
Now that was quite a bad work experience don't you think?
(Oh, and if you are wondering who the player was, he was an England international, had a high-profile wedding just a few months later, and is still on TV a lot)
(Insert cock joke here)

» Ripped Off
Amazon...
This is my first time posting here, so please be nice! I have a 'ripped off' story for you, but rather than telling a story about me getting ripped off (for example, by former landlords, or flatmates, or every month by the bank), I shall tell you a story of how I ripped off Amazon, and hope that no-one else has posted a similar story...
A few years ago, Amazon had an offer where if you recommended a friend to use Amazon, you got a free £5 voucher, as did your friend. 'Hmmm...' I thought, 'that's something that needs investigating', so I set up an new hotmail e-mail address, got two £5 vouchers, and got two free CD singles. Result! Except my thirst for was not quenched, so I tried it again, and again, and again...
For the next 4-5 months I got free CDs and videos almost every day of the week, sometimes getting half a dozen freebies a day. All through this I thought, 'surely someone would notice', without thinking about what would happen if they did!
One day, they did. I got a snotty e-mail saying I should either pay up or never use Amazon again. Considering that if I decided to pay up, I would need to find around £700 (!), I haven't used Amazon since. Of course I know now that I got off extremely likely.
Shortly after this they stopped their refer-a-friend scheme.

Another story from the inside...
This comes from another job, this time with Tower Hamlets council. A colleague of mine was helping one of the new officers with her computer.
The new officer knew nothing of computers. She was asking the sort of questions my grandmother would ask (and she's 95). The best was when she asked how to delete a file. She was told to click on the relevant file and drag it into the recycling bin. So she clicked on it, she dragged the mouse...
...and threw the mouse into the rubbish bin under the bin!
This was someone being paid between 50-60% more than me...!

» Public Transport Trauma
Ouch!
My worst public transport experience happened when I was on my way home from school when I was about 12. Whilst waiting for the bus, I somehow ended up in the situation where the bus ran over my foot.
What made it worse was:
*It stopped on my foot for about ten seconds.
*It was an almost full double-decker.
*It happened in front of half the school... and they never let me forget about it until I left.
Somehow my foot was not broken, just severly bruised. When my Mum arrived at the hospital (after obviously making sure my foot was not squashed to pate) she was more concerned about the fact I hadn't washed my feet for days rather than my accident.
To this day, my left foot is slightly flatter.
