SAUNA!

I used to work in a hardware shop here in the UK. We had a heatwave one weekend when I was working; the shop floor was roasting but, despite calling upstairs, the manager wouldn’t turn on the air con from his office, telling us to stop complaining, but he wouldn’t come down to the floor.

Eventually I went up to see him after several complaints from customers about how warm it was. I found him sat in his comfy chair, with a fan on his desk whilst he pissed about with spreadsheets.

The moment he went on his lunch a few hours later, my supervisor and I shot upstairs and grabbed the fan, went down to the stock room and stamped on that fan until it was in pieces. Then we dumped the evidence in a bin bag in a public bin outside the back of the shop.

The stupid old bastard spent the rest of the day lamenting the loss of his fan, searching around thinking we’d hid it and, when he eventually joined us on the shop floor for the final hour of the work day, decided we did indeed need the air conditioning switched on.

Every morning after this, we ensured our large industrial bin was dumped in his parking spot, so that he’d have to get out of his car to move it before parking. Every. Single. Morning. For years.
