‘They wouldn’t budge': Chess players kicked out of city hall for bringing chess boards despite renting out venue for chess club

City halls are notorious for being stuck up, but this one really takes the cake.

This chess club had eagerly prepared for their opening night, rented a venue (their city hall), and arrived with everything they needed to play chess, which would be chess boards and pieces. Somehow the fact they brought their own things became a huge deal. Their excitement turned into dismay when they were unexpectedly approached by a dude working for city hall. He peeked in, noticed their things, and asked where they took them from. The chess players said they brought them from home, which apparently, wasn't allowed. Things escalated, and the director of city hall was called. She was furious, and they were left confused. It didn't end there, but hey, I won't spoil the ending… Scroll down and read the rest of the story along with all the juicy details and comments below.

Some people need to chill. It's only chess! Afterward, check out these amusing boss stories told by incredulous employees.
