There’s very little that can take a person’s breath away like the moment they realize they done something horribly wrong at work. It might have been an accident, it might have been negligence, but you know it’s your fault and you’re probably going to pay with your job.
These 15 people had that moment, but it was swiftly followed by one that completely absolved them of their crime.
While phoning a customer and trying to explain I needed a key to get in to the bay, I accidentally just like “Fuckinggggg” instead of like “ummmm” like a normal person.
So it was like “Hey there. Calling from (company name). Just needed access to this bay and fuckinnnnggg the door is locked so I need the key.”
The woman on the phone sounded very ESL so I got away with it. No complaint, customer didn’t even acknowledge it.
I used to work as a warehouse manager for a company that sells expensive measuring instruments and managed to accidentally drop a box with glass lenses worth $1100 each. Most of them were broken. The box was freshly in so I took a huge risk by lying that they came in that way and must have gotten damaged during transport. Luckily for me they did believe me.
My younger brother and I used to work at the same supermarket. When I was about 21 or so, I decided to celebrate my birthday with a huge bottle of vodka and some friends. Had completely forgotten I had work the next day.
Manager had called my phone at 6 in the morning, wondering where the hell I was, but phone had died so it went straight to voicemail.
So he called my brother, who went to check on me. Upon seeing the empty bottle of vodka and me passed the fuck out on my bed, he called the manager back and told him that the two of us had agreed to switch shifts and forgot to write it down. Totally his bad, he’ll be right over.
Little bro wakes me up, explains he covered for me, and that I need to sober up and be at work for his 9:00 shift in three hours.
By 9:00, it was clear I still was not sober, but fear of losing my job meant going to work anyway.
Little bro spends the day shepherding my drunk ass around the store to avoid customers or the manager getting close enough to smell the alcohol on me. I sobered up over the course of the day, and felt like shit, but thanks to my little brother’s actions I wasn’t actually caught.
It was the night before I was scheduled to have a tense meeting with my boss and a client. The meeting was supposed to be a sort of “peace talk” because of tension growing between my staff and the client who was an emotional and difficult person to work with.
The night before my wife and I opened a bottle of wine with dinner and managed to finish it off before bed. This didn’t seem like too much at the time but the next morning I woke up sicker than I have ever been. I still had this difficult meeting so I got up got dressed managed to choke down some Advil and a glass of water. The minute I get on the highway to work I feel my stomach twisting. There is nothing between where I am now and where my office is except highway with almost no shoulder. Half way to work I feel that feeling in my throat, like a tightening, and my bowels are starting to make terrible noises. I realize I am going to throw up and look around my car for anything to throw up in. I spot McDonalds bag is on the floor so I grab it. Hoping I don’t need to use it I speed up trying to get to my exit so I can pull over and ralph. No dice. I held the bag up to my mouth going 85 MPH and throw up red wine into the McDonalds bag which had the strength of tissue paper because my hot acid puke punched right through the bag and into my lap. By some miracle I had extra business slacks in my car. I stopped at a gas station and changed in the bathroom.
I looked into the mirror and a haggard sallow man with flop sweat and sunken eyes stared back at me. Even with the wardrobe change I smelled faintly of booze and vomit. I went to the meeting and my boss noticed something was up. He rescheduled with the client telling me “I don’t think you’re up to it this morning”.
I for sure thought he was going to fire me for being a huge drunk but nothing happened. I don’t drink wine anymore.
Spilled soil samples from an ecology project I was helping our doctorate student on. I contemplated just putting them back into the containers and playing dumb, but that would have been a shitty thing.
So instead, I take our work truck, the soil coring device and in the middle of the night I go to each area again and retake the cores. The bad thing is some sites are on people’s front yards, so here I am, coring yards at 2am on a Wednesday in front of a house like some really shitty dirt burglar.
One old lady heard me and asked what I was doing in her yard, and thankfully instead of shoot me, or let my Lab Director know what the hell I was doing she simply told me that “everyone makes mistakes in science, take those scientists trying to tell us the Earth is getting too warm. Good luck with your dirt study!”
You know what silly old lady? I’ll let this one slide, ignore the fact that we are trying to work out how climate change is interacting with urban ecosystems, you didn’t rat on me. Yes I will enjoy my dirt study.
I did not get fired. No one knew what I did except that nice old lady. And now the internet.
I climbed in the bailer, to push a stuck bale out.
There’s a camera pointed right at the bailer, so I thought for sure I was done. But nobody saw me or asked about it.
Don’t climb in the bailer, other than stealing that’s the only other thing that will get you fired.
Loooong time ago. My first job. In advertising in London.
I was sent a gif by my old college roommate of a woman sucking off a horse and throwing up a ton of jizz. Pretty gross. I forwarded it to his GF to encourage him not to send me this crap again. But I didn’t just send it to her. I sent it to everyone in my office email list. It included clients, some of them pretty high up and very conservative. I panicked like crazy. Luckily, my art director was dating the CEO’s PA and she was really cool. Got the IT guy to delete it from all internal emails, and then sent an email to all the clients telling them there was a virus attached to the email I had sent and to immediately delete it.
No one ever saw that horrendous gif. No one on my agency ever knew except my AD and his GF. I for sure would have been toast.
Turns out we were allowed to grab free water from the walk in fridge but not Red Bull’s. Didn’t realize they weren’t comped until someone told me I could get in serious trouble for stealing weeks later.
I work a desk job at a small office. Bosses left for a meeting and wouldn’t be back for the rest of the day. I didn’t have much to do, so I decided to buy a couple tall cans across the street and watch some Netflix.
An hour later, during a quiet part in the show, I heard my boss talking on his phone. Apparently their meeting got cancelled and they’d been back for about 30 minutes. My desk is right outside my boss’s office, and somehow he didn’t notice anything. He’s extremely strict about work and always complains about time-wasting, but never said anything to me. I have no idea how I wasn’t caught.
Parked badly, my mirror scratched my boss’s truck. He was a prick so I never mentioned it and I forgot about it until reading this
There were some police officers at the reception desk. Not that unusual, police would show up for a wide range of reasons. I strolled by on the way to my office – they were being attended to so I didn’t need to get involved.
20 minutes later I was strolling past reception again. The police were gone. I popped into the facility manager’s office beside the reception desk. We were talking about stuff and I started telling him about this great hashish I had just got my hands on…maybe I could even get him some…
CEO sticks his head in the door and says ‘Sympleton, can I see you out here?’ I stepped out to see what’s up, and he’s standing there beside the same two police officers.
‘Oh shit’, I think.
CEO says ‘Sympleton, these officers are here to drop off a donation cheque for our refugee fund! I was just showing them around the building. Can you take some pictures of us for the website?’
When I was working as an intern, there was this hideous guy who called the office and started making insane accusations and demands.
I thought I had put him on hold when I called one of my supervisors on another line and said, “There’s some crazy fuck on the other line demanding to talk to someone in charge” but actually somehow he wasn’t on hold; he was listening the whole time. I heard a voice say “WHAT?” on the other line and I was like oh fuck, I’m dead. Lol. So I picked up the phone and just hung it up lol.
By some miracle the guy never called back. I told my supervisor that he hung up and that was the end of it.
Spilled coffee all over my laptop. I told my supervisor that it had stopped working and she assumed it stopped because of how old it was. I got a new, much better laptop out of it!
Edit- holy shit, y’all. My fuckery blew up! While I’m sure any person with mediocre knowledge of computers could easily tell what happened, I worked for a small business with no in house IT so I truly skirted by on that blunder. They were never called.
Years ago when I worked at a web agency there were several times where I accidentally took down an entire site. Luckily, I usually realized it right away and fixed the issue. The biggest site I did this to was probably Brunswick Bowling.
I work at a high volume luxury jewelry boutique, we handle well into the multimillions of dollars worth of jewels and timepieces everyday. When I was moving out of my apartment, I thought it would be smart to save some coin and just take the used boxes from our shipping/receiving room.
Some of you see where this is obviously headed.
I got home from work, dragged the boxes upstairs, and started to pack. 45 minutes into packing my kitchen, I heard a clink on the tile, and didn’t think anything of it, just thought to myself that I’d pick whatever just fell up later.
I forgot about it entirely and went to bed.
Next morning comes around, it’s about 6am. Too dark to see with just the daylight, and too early for me to want to turn too many lights on. I walk into the kitchen to get some coffee going and stepped right on a 9-carat GIA flawless diamond ring. I accidentally stole and then stepped on a 1.3 MILLION DOLLAR RING.
I figured if could take it without anyone noticing, I could put it back the same way. So I tucked it into my lunch bag, and snuck it into our inventory without anybody noticing a damn thing.
I’m so secondhand relieved I think I need a drink!

The post 15 Times People Thought They Were Totally Fired, but Somehow Got off the Hook appeared first on UberFacts.
Escape rooms are all the rage for friend gatherings, group dates, bachelor parties, work events, you name it. You put a group of people in a room and give them a series of clues that have to be solved in order to “escape” within a certain amount of time – some are easy, some are hard, and I imagine which is which depends a little bit on the group that’s attempting to solve the puzzle.
I’ve enjoyed my trips into these spaces, but it is kind of weird to think that some kid is out there listening and watching your every move (in order to help you, but still!).
It goes the other way, too, of course, and these 18 escape room employees have seen. some. sh*t.
I went to a place with my family and, while we went into our room, we saw some employees working on fixing another room.
Apparently someone from a group before ours decided the only way out was to shoulder charge the door, which wasn’t all that strong, and ripped the entire thing out of the frame. I guess they technically succeeded.
The group of guests manage to pull an entire twin bed, mattress, frame and all, through a thin passageway and into the final room through the secret door.
They thought it would be part of the puzzle. It was not.
I asked an Escape Room employee this once.
Our room had a big metal safe.
One guy who played in that room just picked up and carried the safe around the entire time.
There was a room with a bed in it. Instead of continuing to follow the clues, two guests proceeded to put themselves to bed and then take a nap for half the time.
They weren’t hurting anything, so I let it happen. Before they left, they remade the bed and tucked two of our skeletons inside.
Honestly most of the odd stuff that happens is because us employees forgot to reset one part of the room.
The worst was when this new employee reset a room for the first time by himself. He locked all of the locks, but never actually locked the door of each safe to itself, so the customers were able to open everything like there were no locks at all.
He eventually became assistant manager at our store. We were desperate.
Nothing really earth shattering here. The strangest thing I can think of is this one time the guest skipped every clue and happened onto the final solution to escape the room in the first five minutes. As I was heading towards the exit of the room to offer them a steep discount for completing the room on record time and seeing if they wanted to try another room I overheard the guest starting to unravel the mystery backwards from the end point.
Seeing them sound so exited and into the mystery I walked back to my station and saw them solve every puzzle backwards in record time. After they got out we shared some laughs over what happened then traded a free coupon for their next visit if they told me how they unraveled everything so we can run it as a new scenario.
Not an employee, While looking for a key, I put my hand in a box and pulled out a stuffed rat tied to a cord. I was convinced this was important, stuck my fingers up a tear in the stuffed toys arsehole and started yanking out its stuffing convinced I’d find a key, a clue… Something.
I was quickly warned over the phone by an employee that the rat was just part of the set and to please leave it alone.
TLDR: got in trouble for fingering a toy rat at an escape room.
My cousin went through an escape room with his friends and were solving the puzzles at an alarmingly quick rate. They were told the entire “escape” process would take anywhere around 60-90 mins. Well, they were finished in 10 minutes. The coordinator running the room was floored, and told them this was the quickest she’d ever seen someone escape. Thinking they were cheating, she went into the room. Well, whoever the employee was that “cleaned up” the escape room before them left the answer key behind.
So my cousin and his friends had found the answer key and it still took them 10 mins to escape the room. They got a refund and were asked to please try again.
We had z a group that, within about 30 seconds, worked out the code because one of the guys figured out a clue from the first two sentences from the video.
They were pissed off
The story that comes to mind is a group of Swedish construction workers genuinely thought the solution to the puzzle was to lift the door off its hinges
Although a more common experience would be explaining to customers that the games aren’t as fun when intoxicated, and then have them complain that the game was way too hard. That stopped when we started adding a histogram of every players score on the souvenir photos, and their embarrassing times were way longer than average…
Bachelorette party came in and booked the jungle temple themed room. They were beyond wasted and I’m not sure why we even let them play but whatever. In the first room is a book with some pictures of ‘fertility idols’, which were just little Buddha statues. One of the girls went to the bride-to-be and pointed to the Buddha and said “Look, it’s your fiance!” and everyone but the betrothed had a good laugh.
Bachelorette stood in the corner and Blair Witched it for a few minutes, while one of her friends consoled her. 15 minutes into the game, the one who made the joke had enough of it I guess and stormed over and whipped her around and yelled “It’s not that serious, get over it!”
Dude got sucker punched by the sash wearing, tiara clad hulk. Straight domed, made a great sound. I look over at the monitor and see them all swirling in a storm of fists. I get up and head over to the phone and call the manager at the front desk and let her know about the fight club happening in Temple. They continue to fight in the hallway outside the room before moving the the sidewalk outside, giving a great show to the next door Cici’s pizza visitors.
Best part is when they’ve stopped smashing their fists into each other’s skulls, they came back asking for a refund since they only used a quarter of the time they paid for. If you’re ever looking for a job that generates good stories, look for escape rooms. People are dumb and you get to watch them do it.
Not an employee but my SO’s old neighbour worked at an escape room and we went to try it out, it was a lot of fun but we finally got the lock off this big wooden door for access into the second half of the room, and for some reason neither of us decided to try the door. We kept looking for clues for around ten minutes until, over the walkie, the guy straight up told us to pull the door and you can tell he was sick of it
I worked at an escape room where the game masters were inside the room with the guests as actors who were in character with the room’s theme.
We had a zombie room with two actors: a doctor and a zombie.
The plot of the room was fun. Guests walk in. The doctor would begin a scientific lecture about a virus reanimating dead tissue. While this is going on, the zombie, chained to the wall (chain got longer every five minutes), is snarling. After like a minute, the doctor would have to tranquilize the zombie as preparation for experimentation. Here, the zombie would attack the doctor. Alarms go off, door “self locks” to contain the virus, and we now have an hour to escape or be locked in forever.
As the doctor, I would get more and more sick as the hour went by all while trying to remain studious and terrified at the same time. With about three minutes to go, regardless where the guests were with escaping, I’d faint. Usually everyone stopped what they were doing to gawk, waiting for me to pop back up. This was usually where the zombie in the room would go ham and start chasing people around the room. With the commotion I’d twitch, and they’d scream each time I did because it added to the confusion and chaos.
With a minute left I’d pop up in a back bend and start spider walking at people with an Alka-Seltzer tablet foaming out of my mouth. I actually made someone pee themselves doing this.
A couple broke up in the room I was running… I then gave them loads of hints so they could get out asap
Yeah this one guy literally walked in and kicked the door down and walked through.
His friends and I just stood there like ohhhh okay then.
My mother and her friends went to an escape room one night for a girls night out, and while they were solving the room one of them elected to just fiddle around with the final lock on the door which was a 4-digit code, and miraculously unlocked it and walked out.
My husband and I did an escape room a couple months ago for the first time. It was serial killer themed, so when we took the blindfolds off we were chained in a dirty, dimly lit bathroom. After getting free, we picked up this suuuuuper dim toy lantern that flickered to be creepy. We crawled around the room gathering tools and sharing this tiny flickering lantern. We solved about 4 puzzles in 40 minutes before discovering they had left us flashlights on a table to use.
Was in an escape room with some friends and a bunch of strangers. Premise of the room is that you’ve been kidnapped by a serial killer and you’ve got to get yourself out of his basement before he comes back. So it’s super creepy and gross.
A few clues in, we find the key to a 7’ tall locker. One of the guys I don’t know goes to open it. I’m standing right behind him. He unlocks it and just as he reaches for the handle, the door starts to open from the inside. We were so in the moment, he and I just slam the damn thing shut and hold it with our combined weight. We’re all asking each other what to do, and there comes a polite knocking from inside the locker.
We’re all jumpy as heck, but we finally decide to let whoever is in there out. It was ‘the killer’ and he was supposed to just jump scare the crap out of everyone and run out of the room. After we all escaped, he told us that had never happened before. He was just standing in the locker trying to figure out what to do! So funny afterwards, but it genuinely scared the crap out of me when it happened!!!

I would say that every human being has, at some point in their life, pretended to be asleep when they weren’t. There are all sorts of reasons one might engage in this small deception – your parents think you’re asleep, you’re trying to get your kid to sleep, you don’t want to have sex, you don’t people to think you can hear them…
And when it comes to that latter one, well…sometimes you do hear them, and sometimes what you hear can turn out to be pretty forking crazy.
Which is what happened to these 18 people, who are now going to share the gossip with you.
A screaming match involving the line “I want you to say one nice thing about my kids, ONE!” Followed by silence and doors slamming.
I was dozing off in my bed with my girlfriend at the time when I heard her confess her love for me. She was pretty hammered, but she went into intricate detail about how she feels respected, enjoys the sex, and sees a serious future with me.
The next morning I got yelled at for not cuddling and that it was a major issue. I don’t think she even knew of her confession.
My parents talking dirty while they were doing it
Edit: I was around 6-8 years old
I heard my roommate on a cruise ship getting viciously & sloppily fingerbanged for over an hour while the guy kept saying to her to, “guess how many fingers are in you now!”
I had been sleeping on the couch in my CCA room in school and I heard my name just as I woke up so I stayed put to eavesdrop. A couple of mates were talking about me in a positive light and saying nice things about me without knowing I was awake. It was really nice to hear it especially since I was a relatively low point at that time.
Every time I think about this I feel good, even though it’s been a half dozen years or so, and it always reminds me to uphold those good characteristics.
My mum told a friend via telephone: I thought my husband was cheating, so now i do it to. I still don’t know what to do. Edit: My father has not cheated and it’s proven. My mum is just stupid, they’re getting divorced now.
When I was a kid my mom would make my brother and me take naps for like 45 minutes. I pretended like I was sleeping, and I heard my mom talking on the phone to my grandma. During the conversation I assume my grandma asked what my brother and I were up to, because she said ImHully’s brother is sleeping, and ImHully is pretending to be asleep. I was like fuck.
She said she knew I was faking because my mouth was closed, and whenever I’m actually asleep my mouth is slightly open. Ever since that day, whenever I’m pretending to be asleep for whatever reason, I keep my mouth slightly open. Thanks for the tip mom.
Night after drinking with friends I wasn’t really pretending more trying to keep the my head from spinning. I overhear my buddy say to my other friend say I wonder how easy it is to smother someone to death.
I was less than 3 feet away as one of my best friends took a 19 yo’s virginity.
We traveled from the bay to LA to attend a rave with some girls we met at EDC a few months prior. After all the partying took place, one buddy took the older sister to his car, and my other buddy started making moves on the younger sister.
I was “sleeping” on the floor, and was petrified, because I felt like if i moved, it would kill his game. So i sat through the most awkward sexual experience of my life, to help him get laid. It was short, and sporadic, but they both seemed to enjoy it, i think, so i think i made the right decision pretending to be asleep on the floor as they bunny humped on the bed literally 2 1/2 feet from me.
At a sleepover, “do you think he’s circumcised or not?”
Two people fucking and talking shit about me.
Back in grade school I was over at a friends place with a couple other friends for a sleepover. We were watching Kenny vs Spenny, the episode where they see who can go around naked the longest or something.
His mom comes in and thinks he watching gay porn. Naturally we pretend to be asleep while him mom reams him out and thinks he’s watching gay porn in front of us.
Sorry Scott, good times though.
My mom to her friend, when I was like 8, “I don’t actually even like her. She’s so annoying, I want to get rid of her.”
Naturally I burst into tears. She said she was sorry, she knew I was awake, and it was just a joke.
She’s got a cruel sense of humor..
A loud fart followed by “oh shit”. And then some shuffling sounds..
Weekend retreat at church camp – my buddy and another friend’s girl and I ended up in a room with two bunk beds. We were chilling when I realized that I was the third wheel, so I powered down. First there were tests to see if I was awake, then she climbed to his top bunk, then kissing, then her moaning, then her telling him he should wash his hand. I got bored and did some fake sleep-talking. They laughed and continued, but they called it a night without rounding home. She left, and I figured it was best to not give high-fives till the next day.
I don’t know why I waited until we were at his house; maybe she rode back with us. Still, it was my first time playing Super Nintendo, and as he handed me the controller that would introduce me to Yoshi, I asked him, “you did wash your hands, right?”
He was so thrilled to get to talk to someone about it.
I was drunk at a party and couldn’t fathom the world so I lay down, closed my eyes in a dark room. I heard two of my friends come in, one came over to me and poked me in the ribs then said “It’s fine, he’s asleep.” then proceed to talk about how both of them were cheating on their boyfriends and who at the party they wanted to fuck.
I remember way back I couldn’t sleep on Christmas Eve, you know, being a little kid and all. So during this sleepless night where I guess my parents thought I was asleep, I heard my dad say “where do you think we should hide the new puppy?” That was pretty much at the top of my list, so naturally I was excited that I was getting a puppy. They talked for a good 20 minutes about the puppy, saying things like “how should we keep it from barking before he finds him?” before I dozed off.
Next morning, I discovered that my parents knew I was awake and just decided to fuck with me. There was no god damn puppy. I got a Gameboy though, so it wasn’t too bad.
A French girl I met in a hostel came in to where I was sleeping and just sat there. I had just cut it off with her so I didn’t want to deal with her shit so I pretended to be asleep for a few minutes. She just mumbled random shit, she was pretty drunk. Finally what got me up was when, in the cutest french accent, she told me she was going to set me on fire in my sleep.
I should have mentioned that, yes, I did sleep with her again after that. Sometimes you gotta do messed up shit to stay not on fire.
I’m going to have to pretend to be asleep more often, y’all!
Of course, most of the time I pretend to be asleep, I actually fall asleep, because I am old and tired. I’ll have to work on it!

Even if you haven’t seen Tiger King on Netflix, you’ve heard enough about it to at least garner the basics. To recap, though, Carole Baskin owns a big cat rescue in Florida, and she is the sworn enemy of Oklahoman big cat breeder Joe Exotic.
In the documentary series, much was made about the disappearance of Baskin’s second husband, Don Lewis, from whom she inherited millions of dollars.
Exotic insinuated (and outright stated) that Baskin killed Don Lewis and perhaps fed him to her tigers or order to cash in, a claim that Don’s family didn’t discredit.
It turns out that law enforcement in the case also believes that, at the very least, Lewis’ will was forged.
During a June 2 interview, local Sheriff Chad Chronister made a statement that he believes the will is “100 percent a forgery.”
“We knew that before. The problem was the statute of limitations had already expired. The will had already been executed at that point.
A judge deemed it valid, so the civil side of it would be execution of the will, the disbursements of the funds is one thing.
But then yo have the criminal side of it, it’s unable to be prosecuted because of the statute of limitations.”
There are several people involved with the case, including Lewis’ friend Joseph Fritz and two different handwriting experts, who believe Lewis’ signature on his will is traced from his 1991 marriage record.
In addition, the notary and the power of attorney on the documents have no memory of authenticating them.
Baskin has maintained that she had nothing to do with the disappearance, calling the allegations “the most ludicrous of all lies,” and hasn’t made a statement about the possibly forged will.
Several months ago, Sheriff Chronister revealed the county was reopening Lewis’ case, and that he personally believes Don was murdered. He has also stated that the department has some “great leads” to work with going forward.

Every adult can remember at least a handful of times when they realized they had been utterly wrong about something that most others consider common knowledge. There’s no shame in it – no one knows everything, and making mistakes is, of course, how we learn.

My mum and my uncle told me McDonalds sold a special “Robert Burger” because I didn’t want anything on the menu when I was about 5. I ate only these until I was about 12 when I went in with friends and realised it doesn’t exist. It was a cheeseburger all along

I can never wait to hear what my 3yo is going to say next.
Remember the Milk Tray Man? When the voiceover goes “And all because the lady loves Milk Tray”? For some reason my 5 year-old brain heard “A norby card…” I thought the card he left on the box of chocolates was known as a “norby” card…

Grew up with 2 sisters and when I asked why they had these shower things my mum said curtly “theyre just things girls have!” I took that to mean a certain thing for years until my wife laughed at me referring to her ‘fanny scrubber’ pic.twitter.com/XynF2T6y5Z

Maybe, because I know exactly what he’s saying.
This is probably a Missouri accent thing, but when I was a kid I thought that the swings on the creaky metal swing set at my grandparents’ house went “crooked” because there were “crickets” squeaking at the top of the chains. To be fair, I was an idiot.

Though there have been plenty of divas pre-Madonna, she does it quite well.
Thought the phrase prima donna was pre-Madonna. As if she was such a pioneer and megastar that she redefined what it meant to be a demanding idol with super-diva personality

I’m not sure I’d be willing to admit some of these!
