Work cnut
A few weeks ago I left my job of five years.
This was partly due to the fact I was getting bored and not learning anything new, partly because I wanted more job security, but a far larger part due to the fact that a few months previously my MD saw fit to hire a person whom I can only describe as a mysogynistic, racist twat. And that's me being polite about him.
We took him on because the company was doing badly and he was recommended as an amazing salesman. And he was good, to be fair, and in his first two months made a good deal of money for the company. However, he was also acting like a complete cnut. Here's a few things he thought acceptable:
- kicking and punching a bookcase repeatedly because his computer broke (actually, he made it overheat because he'd covered the fan on the hard drive with a pile of folders - I did tell him this but he didn't pay any attention)
- trying to kick the door in when he got an email he didn't like
- throwing a chair across the room because he thought someone was ignoring him
- refusing to speak to certain members of staff as they 'did not carry out his orders' and instead insisting that messages had to go through a third party
- slamming the phone down on people that didn't want to buy from him and yelling around the office "fucking paki/wog/other"
This continued with various complaints to management but it wasn't until he went completely mental, physically threatened another member of staff and called her a cunt (she was a 50 year old woman, one of the nicest people I've ever met and a good foot shorter than him - brave guy!) that my boss finally took the decision not to sack him, but at least to move him off site.
So, the complete twat got his own off-site office, as well as a new mobile phone, expense account and computer. Meanwhile, he refused to apologise to any of us about what happened and the nice woman whom he yelled at got made redundant.
It was at this point that I started to look for new jobs, but with the recession I was worried that I wouldn't find anything. I actually applied for a ton of stuff - some paying a lot less than I was on, just because I was desperate to get out of the company - even though he was off-site, just the sound of his voice when he phoned in (mainly to shout at someone down the phone) made my skin crawl and by this point I didn't want to work for my MD any more, given the way he'd handled the situation. Lucky I did, because two months later the decision was made that the twat was being moved back on site as we couldn't afford the separate office.
I went for an interview just a week later and got offered the job straight away. I actually now have a far better job with more pay (more than he's on), lovely people around me (no chairs flying across the room), free food (including a dessert!) every day, really close to where I live (no more sweaty summer tube journeys for me!) It also looks as though the place where I worked before will soon be going bust...
Part of my job is to book advertising space, exactly the sort of thing my last company sells. He will not be getting any money from me. I look forward to telling him this when he cold calls me and realises who it is at the other end of the phone.
In a few more weeks or so, when I've been away long enough it doesn't look suspicious, the twat is being signed up to a number of 'interesting' websites with his personal email and mobile number. My housemate also advised mailing lists, such as those offering free samples of male incontinence pads and the like - any other suggestions greatly received...

Put his car up for sale
In the local rag. Put it in at a hugely discounted price but not too low so people think it's a miss-print.

car
I could do that, except that he doesn't have a car anymore. He used to have a convertible which he was very proud of, until someone tipped battery acid it (not me!) The police said it was probably random vandalism, but I think he'd pissed someone else off somewhere along the line... anyway it was written off so now he gets the bus!

That putting some-ones mobile phone number on the wall of a well used gentlemans convenience with a comment that they like teh cock is probably against the law and shouldn't be condoned by anybody.......
