So many stories where to start?
I LOVE this forum! 
Scary Pizza
I used to work for a Pizza Chain as a driver. One night I take a phone order..
SC: Who will be delivering this? Will it be you?
Me: I dont know It depends on who's turn it is. (I know its my turn)
SC: Well It needs to be you.
During the course of the ordering there was a lot of weird flirty creepy things being said. Once I hang up the call, after the SC begging me to promise I would deliver the order, a male co-worker says he's taking the order.
When he returned he reported that it was down a dark long driveway, no lights, the outdoor lights were not on, and the SC came to the door with NO money, and looked shocked to see a guy there. He had to go back in and FIND the money. CW was glad he had taken the order, we both wondered what would have happened if I had showed up there!
Almost died.
Ok so its not really a SC, but a sucky manager. (Still at the Pizza joint)
While I was out of work for a week getting gallbladder surgery, a new manager (NM) was hired. My first day back was an open to close, Friday night, while training a newbie, under the watch of NM. I was an excellent cook, and was often left to run the BOH on my own by ALL other managers.
I'm still slow moving as I feel there is a rock on my stomach, and I have 4 stitched up holes in it, and the make table sits in a terribly painful spot if i have to lean over it. Over the course of the day I start to feel sick, I can't breath, my brain unfocused to the point I'm hardly aware of my surroundings. One manager (who I loved) theorized I was having an anxitiy attack. Keep in mind I just had surgery! Personally I think she didn't want to stay and cover me... but I digress.
I manage to fumble my way through the dinner rush, in tears the entire time due to the amount of pain I was in. You're thinking, "Why did you leave?" I ask myself the same thing. When I'm in pain I pretty much turn in to a blubbering idiot and can only do what I'm told to do. I asked the NM if I could leave several times, and she refused. I've now worked a 13 hour shift in this condition, with no breaks, since we were too busy, its near closing time, and NM sees me STILL crying, TRYING to make it through the last couple of hours of cleaning and closing. She slams a few empty pizza boxes on the ground and tells me to take my 1/2 break and knock it off. She clearly is convinced that I'm faking.
I go in to the office and pass out on the desk, fading in and out of consciousness, and at the SECOND my half hour is over, we are 10 minuets from closing, and she comes in the office and yells at me to get pack to work. Numbly I comply, but as I walk back in to the kitchen, the poor girl I was training says "You look like you're gonna throw up" Strange thing is, until she said that I didn't feel like it. I dove for a trash can, and NM hears me and yells at me to get out of the restaurant. I apologetically leave, because I know this means NM has to figure out how to close the kitchen, which i knew she'd never done.
Half an hour later, I'd (stupidly) driven to my grandmothers house close by, for help, and was instantly taken to the ER (Which was closer to the Pizza place!). I was hospitalized for 5 days, On the highest dose of morphine I was allowed to get for 18 hours, and had to have another surgery, because they had forgotten a gall stone in my tract! It nearly got lodged in my pancreas, which would have been VERY dangerous, I already had gone Jaundice, something NM admitted noticing, but still refused to release me from work to go to the ER. She hardly ever spoke to me again after that, and I liked it that way.
Hot Wing Drive Thru
Again at the Pizza joint. I handed a SC their order, which included a large order of hotwings. She asked for extra napkins, which is not unusual, so i went to fetch her some more since my stock was out. When I returned she was holding the empty wings container out her car window at me. She demanded a manager who told her that I made the Pizza box tip and dumped the wings on her.
Manager didn't believe the story, but refunded the cost of the wings any way, to be nice. A week later we get a $200 bill from a car rental agency, and a letter from the SC saying they had charged her for cleaning the car because of the wings. My manager called the Car Rental place to inform them, we had not dumped the wings and were not responsible for it. The Car Agent was dumbfounded. He said they didn't and wouldn't have charged for the little bit of wing stain! They charged her because her cat peed all over the back seat!
She just didn't want to pay for the cleaning so she created a situation to try and make us pay for it! Crazy huh?
Ok enough for now, I'll tell more stories later!

to your male coworker for taking the order. He must've sensed something wasn't right about that customer and didn't want you to get hurt.
for the NM! FFS, you'd just come back after surgery, who the heck scheduled you for such a long shift?! And noticing that you were in pain and jaundiced, yet not sending you home...NM should've gotten the pink slip. 
to the Hot Wing Scammer! Dumb enough letting an unrestrained animal ride in a rental car, but to try to pass the blame onto an innocent party? Not cool at all. I hope she's been banned from ever renting a car again.

! We've brainbleach by the ton and someone should be along with bacon and cookies soon if we all don't get to them first 
about sums it up
He is my Black Dragon (and yes, a good one) strong, protective, the guardian. I am his Silver Dragon, always by his side, shining for him, cherishing him.
