'One dude once photocopied a slice of pizza': 20+ Cases of workplace foolishness

No workplace is safe from that one dude who can't get anything right. There really is at least one person in every company who seems wildly underqualified for the job. This is the kind of guy who makes you wonder how they ever got a driver's license or paid their taxes, because they're seemingly too dim-witted to function.

Sometimes, it's not even the person's fault, necessarily---you can just tell they're in the wrong career. For example, one shoe store worker was asked to organize some shoes by their brand, then by size. That way a customer can find a shoe they like, and know exactly where all the sizes are to find the perfect fit. Instead, this worker decided to organize the shoes by the color of the boxes they came in! Why? "Because it looked prettier," obviously. This woman is not destined for common sense, but perhaps she'd be the perfect fit for a job in fashion or home decorating. This was also a young person at her first job, hopefully she's making better mistakes by this point in her career.

Check out these funny and shocking accounts of the goofiest ways workers made mistakes. Then, check out these times when workers narrowly avoided getting fired, even after making huge mistakes, like one dude who "scrapped $360,000 in airplane parts."
