The BossMy 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.

The shit heard around the worldA couple of years ago I worked with a legendary technical manager. Since we were the two most techy techies in the company we tended to get sent off to fix broken expensive things on remote sites. Having similar taste in music, ale and curry helps in these circumstances when you're often working away and staying in B&Bs.
The only thing was, whenever we went to a site I had to make sure we were there half an hour before anyone else was likely to turn up. Said technical manager would have a quick scout around the site, then slope off into the bushes to curl one down. Twenty minutes or so later he'd emerge, grinning like a mong and showing anyone who cared a mobile phone pic of the newly-hatched brown trout.
For all I know he's still doing it.
