Every workplace has a day or two that goes down in infamy. Someone at the office will do something so outrageous or unexpected that it catches everyone off guard. Whatever the hilarious incident may be, it becomes the inside joke that people bring up at the holiday party for years afterward.

These people wrote in to share the funniest moments they ever experienced while on the job, and there are some incredible anecdotes. One of the most shocking stories involved a higher-up being so incredibly unaware that his employees all thought they might lose their jobs. This CEO says he has a major announcement to tell the staff. He puts on a party to tell his now-anxious workers that they're celebrating because… he and the other higher-ups are going on a cruise! That's a crazy lack of forethought. What did he think his employees were going to think about all that? Did he really think they'd be like, "Wow, I'm so genuinely thrilled that the CEO gets to go on vacation while I work 40 hours a week for peanuts"? It's baffling.

Check out all of the great tales people shared of things they or their coworkers did that were unforgettably funny. If you want to keep on laughing, check out these very funny calls that 9-1-1 operators received, like one dude who "caught a racoon and didn't know what to do next."
