    This new permie at a company I used to work for. There were several infractions, namely;

    1) Falling asleep in a team meeting, with the manager waking him up with a "Sorry, am I boring you?"
    2) Blatantly logging on to dating sites during work hours.
    3) Turning up late to work after a "hot date" the previous night, complete with very visible "love bite" on neck.
    4) Writing letters to one of the HR lasses about how "they should be together, come and live with me" etc.
    -- and best of all:
    5) Leaving a stain on a toilet cubicle door. An elderly cleaner commented "I've not seen it for a while, but I know what it looks like".

    He was subsequently forced out the door, citing a "Lack of dynamicism in front of the customer" or such like.

            I'd planned it beforehand and my brother who got me into the players lounge (and the match ticket) warned me not to say it but I did it anyway and guess what?

            Stony silence.....

            Never been (allowed) in the players lounge since.....

            Not contract related and I'd had a few that day to be honest. Won 1-0 and it was on MOTD but started my record of never seeing the Wanderers lose what in was the East Stand (I normally sat in the Lofty Stand or West Stand as it was then). 7 times in East Stand, 7 wins, dunno hundreds of times in West/Lofty stand, must be 50/50....
            Was that the day you realised that you had been adopted?

              Surely it'd be safer if she sat IN it? Oh, wait, no. Not if you're sat in it as well. Carry on.

                  He is. In fact, his idea of foreplay is half an hour of begging
