Shit Bosses
Shit bosses are the bane of your working life, from their self-defeating penny pinching to their questionable personal hygiene to their outright delusions and paranoia. Tell us about about the petty tyrants and jokers under whose jackboot you've groaned.

I'd had some painful surgery in the region of my coccyx
which had left me with a painful wound not a million miles from my arsehole. Work had arranged for someone to cover for me while I was recuperating on the grounds that I couldn't actually sit down at my desk, but as it turned out the replacement was a bit useless and so a couple of days later I got a call - was there any way I could come in and carry on?
I said I'd see what I could do and after a bit of experimentation discovered that if I put down some of the cushions from the sofa in reception and knelt on them in front of my desk, I could achieve a reasonably comfortable position and carry on working. Which I did, until two days later when my boss* came in and said: "Can you not kneel on the sofa cushions? I'm worried you might crease them."
I went back home for a few more days' sick leave instead.
*Who is, indirectly, something of a household name, so I can't go into too many details about him

Had one removed
The op wasn't so bad. The weeks of an open wound healing was unpleasant and stank

I don't miss the daily visits to the local surgery to have a nurse pack and dress the wound at all
