Somewhat tenuous........
4 years ago, I was working for a company as an admin whore, and had a boss who was rather.......demure. She was from South Korea, and wasn't really good at expressing what she wanted out of her employees, but when I was hired I kind of brought her out of her shell somewhat.

I'd been there about 4 months, and she went off on a training course, the same week a coworker vacated her desk. Being b3tan, and English, it provided the perfect opportunity to really......fuck my boss over.

There were about 100 of us in the company, and due to being English, a prolific smoker and a drinker, I knew pretty much everyone and was certainly known at least for the accent.
So I roped in her boss, HR and several co-workers.

We moved everything from my desk to the recently vacated co-workers station during the week she was on the training course. When she came back, of course "my" desk was empty. Off she goes to HR, who suggests she talks to her boss.........who totally played along with teh "Oh, workboresme quit, said she couldn't stand you". By this point, the entire company was in on it, including the owners.......who played along with it until she burst into tears.

Finally, at around 3pm that day, I walked over to her desk with a cup of tea (she learned that from me). She almost killed me. Her boss and the owners were pissing themselves laughing, and the rest of our co-workers took us out for drinks that night :D

Didn't you know?
Recent EU legislation means that bullying is funny now.
