People Share The Dumbest Mistakes They've Seen Incompetent Coworkers Make

It's easy to assume that everyone is on the same page about things like "how many tires go on a car" or "if it's okay to feed all the customers a little bleach." But put the wrong person in a role of professional authority and be amazed at the wondrously short-sighted things they're capable of. Sometimes it's just because a newbie doesn't know how things work, but other times it's someone failing to use even the smallest amount of common sense that results in confusing, laughable, and sometimes potentially life-threatening workplace foibles. Fear the new guy who is confident that he knows how everything works. Because that guy is gonna walk up to you at lunch with a pipe through his hand and ask you where the "pipe-removing machine" is.

For some more tales of workplace barbarity, here are 30 times people's clueless bosses tried to solve morale issues with punishment.
