‘You need to return your lab coat’: Employee brings manager a bag full of muddy ashes after he quit following manager's demands he return work clothes

Be careful what you wish for, because you just might get what you request…

Work clothes can be super practical, or they can be an utter nuisance. One employee relayed the time his car caught fire on the way to work, with all his work clothes inside it. Luckily, he was unharmed, but his clothes… Well, that was another story. Unfortunately, all that he had left was a pile of ashes. He had already given his notice to his boss and was told to return all work clothes before leaving. As this was his last day, his boss demanded he bring the work clothes he promised. But how could he? They were gone, at the salvage yard. Still, even after he explained the bizarre predicament, she insisted, telling him that if he didn't, his wages would be garnished.

Okay, then, he thought… So bring them in, he did. Scroll down to read what happened, and then check out this employee who got her coworker a parting gift that was quite memorable.
