I used to unload trucks in an absolute madhouse.

The heat in the back of the transparent roofed trailers in summer was a nightmare so some of the lads would strip down to their boxers then pop their boots and high vis back on. We eventually got cameras installed pointing down the trailers and we're suddenly required to be fully clothed at all times. Our shift lead took particular offense to this and flashed his cock at the camera whilst shouting obscenities. He didn't come back to work the next day.

We had 4 guys sacked for not only opening customers parcels but for taking fireworks out of said parcel and taping them to Frisbees which they then threw to each other. One inevitably went off in one fella's hand. He eventually managed to sue for unfair dismissal somehow.

Another guy was caught trying to sneak a slab of wine out to his car.

A... slab? Of wine?

Is that a whole pallet or something?

[–] beejboytyson 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ikr? How is wine measured in slabs...

[–] spittingimage 1 points 2 months ago

I'm guessing this wine's vintage is some time last week?

[–] bitchkat 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

In Australia the call a case (24 bottles) of beer a slab.

Maybe this is some kind of canned wine?

[–] Turbofish 2 points 2 months ago
