'He left sugar fingerprints on everything...the sugar bandit': 20+ Awful employees who made their boss's lives a nightmare

Bold is the coworker who calls out, then posts their beach day to their Instagram story. Why people do this baffles the mind. Why would you call out of work sick and then go out on the town, leaving a digital footprint behind you? Or worse still, the person goes out to their own workplace, as if their boss will welcome them with a big smile instead of a writeup.

The bosses of Reddit decided to reveal the craziest things that their worst employees ever did in response to u/RoryC's question. The funniest stories are often the ones that are completely inexplicable, like the sugar bandit story (see #37). It brings me delight to tell you about this dude who loved dipping his hands into the sugar container meant for the office workers. Instead of using a spoon, this oddball would literally use his hands like a child. Then, he wouldn't wash them, leaving a trail of sugary evidence everywhere he went. That's also the kind of person who probably never washes their hands after using the restroom… time to get rid of that employee and get a new sugar container ASAP.

Next up, this bride ended her friendship with a bridesmaid after she accidentally sent her a scathing text that was not meant for her eyes.
