A while back, the folks over at Business Management Daily asked administrative professionals “what was the craziest thing your boss ever asked you to do?” Their comment section was flooded with responses. Here’s a small sampling:
- “My boss wanted me to figure out what happened and fix his wife’s car that was sitting dead in a parking lot clear across town.”
- “Remind him when his children’s birthdays are and buy their presents and open his sandwich everyday to make sure there were no tomatoes on it.”
- “A President of company expected me to wash out his mug and lunch dishes and utensils daily. I was not allowed to throw out the plastic forks even if one prong was broken off, because it was still usable.”
- “Cut the tag out of the underpants she was wearing.”
- “He asked me to drop off his pet’s stool sample at the vet’s. And dropped off the container on my desk while I was having lunch.”
- “Drop off a urine specimen to his doctor.”
- “A former boss who ran a business from his home asked me to shave his neck before he left on a business trip.”
I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t trust myself with a razor anywhere near any of my bosses’ necks. Read more of the crazy here.
