These puzzled employers must've been speechless over the CVs we're considering here. That being said. Can we please hoist a cheers to the champion who dedicated his CV to bullet points about cheese.

Nobody's perfect. If you haven't done it already, it's pretty likely you're gonna try to open your front door with your car keys or tell your boss you love them. You're not alone. Everyone has those moments where your brain goes on autopilot. Even Tumblr had a discussion about it.
Lord help the customer service representative who has to deal with the customer who thinks they're always right. These stories are a mixed bag. Sometimes the insane customer gets their comeuppance, and sometimes they just benefit from their frustrating behavior. If you wanted to read more manager stories, then here you go.
This poor, freshly stressed employee was just trying to do the right thing, when he went to touch a headshot. Thing is, he did so, without permission; and the terrible timing that ensued, put him in some hot water. This is a fine example of the fallout that can storm a seemingly innocent situation, when someone finds himself caught up in a, "this isn't what it looks like", scenario. We've got more of those, from a funny AskReddit, over here!
These temporarily panicked employees share tales of the times their bosses summoned them for all manners of unexpected, crazy BS. Nothing quite makes the adrenaline surge like your boss asking for you in their office.
Anyone who's ever muddled through a customer service job knows that it comes absolutely stuffed with emotional outbursts from customers who just want to be mad at the world. The poker face that one must develop and consistently put on every day for a shift, can be soul-draining at times (if not all the time). Find solace in relating to these memes about the grind, and know that you're not alone!
You can almost make out this employee's stress-sweat in the story, told. This story's the stuff of fever dreams. My hands get clammy just trying to picture myself in his nightmarish scenario.
Wonder if the boss actually thought this guy would go through with it. People will always surprise you, and in this case, the boldness on the part of the trucker is welcomed! Hell, maybe even inspiring.
Never underestimate the excruciating cringe that can ensue mid-meeting when you let one rip (unintentionally?...) or find yourself mindlessly staring off into space, at some else's crotch. Just hope your recovery time's enough for the fail to NOT be recognized.
We're always afraid that people are talking about us behind our backs. It's not fun to find out someone doesn't like your personality or thinks you're weird. But when it's your boss, one of the only people in your life that it really makes a difference how much they like you, that's a bit of a nightmare. By the way, the world has no shortage of crazy stories about their bosses.
You can feel the pain of their regret in this TIFU work-related fail tale. Turns out those vaguely irritating emails from the company about crazy things like "open enrollment", can come at a great cost to you, if you ignore them.
Twitter was more than ready to applaud, @JonQuiQui's hilariously unplanned photo-taking fail. He was just a new and hungry and excited employee ready to capitalize on the milestone of his first day at work, with a flower-packed pic of good feels. As it turns out, he might've jumped the gun on just who those flowers were intended for...
You might relate with what these people have to say about those habits/actions that appear as lazy, while in reality, they are practical and highly useful! If anything, it's a reminder to care less about what people think, and instead do what works best for you to perform your duties the best YOU can.
Having a less-than-stellar day? Maybe learning about other people's wild misfortunes will put things in perspective. For more, check out fmylife.com
This employee went digging for laughs, and came up with an angered anti-vaxxer boss, who believes big pharma's are just trying to control your ind and body. It was an unanticipated tirade, and the uncomfortable silence that must've ensued when she finished making her points about vaccines being a cause of autism, had to have been powerful...
