This is a question The Boss

My chief at a large retail chain used to decide on head office redundancies by chanting "One potato, two potato" over the staff list. Tell us about your mad psycho bosses - collect your P45 on the way out.

fAT UGLY WEIRDO
I had a short term (you will realise why) job, many moons ago, when I was probably a bit inexperenced in life and the nature of people's intentions.
The boss used to follow me around while I pottered around the workplace working happily (I like to keep myself busy)...We used to chat about general stuff, I thought he was being friendly and did'nt give it much thought, I would be more paranoid these days (oh what life does to you!
This is very hazy, probably because it was so wierd, I've tried to erase it out my mind and put it in the wierd bad experience box..
One day he was coming on a bit, lets say, overly friendly, standing closer, leaning in MY SPACE! I proceded to edge away from this weird encounter... The room we were in, as I remember was full of those hard staff room type sofas, only big enough for 2 people sitting up straight. There was a lot of them, all placed in a social gathering way..Anyway this fat bloke was moving closer and I was moving farther away from whatever the fookinghell he was up to??? He was my boss for godamm bloody sake......I decided in that instant that I had to get away from Whale looking bloke and ran all over the sofas to get away from him (I don't remember being scared, just getting out a wierd Alice in Wonderland situation)...It was like a fooking game of tag, me jumping over sofas, and him chasing me...but I was too quick, due to my slim build verses his fat arse. I made my way to the door and never went back...What a totally weird experience..thanks for reminding me..now it must go back in the box!

That sounds terrible...
Those hard chairs are an absolute nightmare to sit on...

(Seriously though, if anyone does something like that to you the best course of action is a swift knee in the happy sacks. They're hardly going to report it, and you have the satisfaction of causing a little harmless pain, if you know what I mean).
