Anyone who has ever had a job has likely worked with one or two unsavory characters, but some professions either attract or create especially screwed up folks. One redditor recently prompted r/AskReddit to talk about which industries have the most "f**ked up people" in them, and the thread exploded with so many valid answers, that I'm starting to believe maybe every job ever has its fair share of wackos.

"4-5 years ago, my wife and I drove 2 hours to a dealership because she finally found the exact car she had been looking for online, and it was at this dealership. We called right before we left the house to make sure the car was still at the dealership, since we had to drive 2 hours to go look at it. We obviously wanted to make sure it was there before we made the trip. You already know what comes next… When we got there, the first guy we spoke to told us that the car had JUST NOW been sold, but he had some brand new models he'd love to show us. I basically went off on him and told him I'd never do business with them after that. It was a slimy way to get us in the door. It's hard telling how long that car had been sold. They just assumed we would buy something since we made the trip. Quite the opposite actually." said u/tysondupont.
"Car dealership receptionist here, this happens a lot. People call beforehand asking for a specific car they saw online and the salesmen will say yes but in reality they don't actually know because they're too lazy to check while they're on the phone with you. I've seen a few times where a salesman comes up to me and says 'I'm waiting on some customers to show up, they were looking for xxxx type car.' And I'll ask if we have it, just to conversate and he'll say 'Hell no, we sold that weeks ago but I can get them a brand new 2023 xxxx.' And then customer shows up, no car, cusses out salesman, salesman comes back in talking shit about the customer often times calling them asshole, idiot, or pussy for not buying a random vehicle they didn't ask for." said u/beantheblackpup_.
"used to play video games with a guy from texas that was a guard at some prison. he divorced his wife (who i had also become friends with) so that he could profess his love for me. i turned him down and he told me if i ever went to texas and he found out he'd make sure i wouldn't leave the state." said u/liofotias.
