This is a question Now, there was no need for that...

Tell us about the times when an already difficult situation has been made worse for no good reason. Pollollups writes, "As if being given a muscle relaxant and trapped in an MRI tube wasn't bad enough: whilst thus immobilised, they played me Dido."

casino overtime
I was 11 hours into a 14-hour (day/night) shift which I was doing as a favour to management. I'd sworn off overtime six months previously as I realised it was making me behave erratically.

Having so far had a shitty (friday) night meant I was pretty zeppelined off, but the icing on the cake was when they decided this was an opportune time to give me a disciplinary hearing based on my refusal to learn the numbers on a roulette wheel in order.

I went apeshit and never went back to work ever again. Which is rather inconvenient now, as I'd rather like to rent one of their car parking spaces, but I don't trust myself to be calm as they owe me £300 in wages.
