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

When I started editing a magazineAnother editor in the same company asked if I could do a photoshoot - as in, they needed someone to dress up as a burglar. They had the stripy shirt, gloves, Zorro mask, bag of swag etc, but needed someone to don them. "You're Scottish," he said, "so you'll do."
I was but a few weeks into the job and hadn't yet learned to say no to their ridiculous schemes. So, foolishly, I agreed.
Fortunately this cover concept was not used. (The awful 'shopping doesn't help, if you can stop laughing for a moment).
