'[I] caused a 30,000+ order backup': 30+ Employees who had strange and unexpected days at work

Some days at work will stick in your head more than others. If you're working hundreds of days each year, you probably won't recall what you were doing on some random Tuesday in April. What you'd definitely remember are the days that caught you off guard. Maybe you walked into the office and suddenly saw that the big boss chose that day for a surprise visit. Perhaps you'd recall the day that a customer made a giant deal with your company, leading to a huge celebration. 

When u/Voraxia had an unbelievable day at work, it was because they accidentally sold negative one car. They didn't sell any vehicles that day at their dealership, and then a customer returned a car. That's tough. The OP asked others to share what their most unbelievable work days were like, and the answers ranged from funny to shocking. Many other people who answered were employees who had commission-based jobs. Some others were from office or retail backgrounds (like the dude who accidentally let 30,000 orders pile up).
