in the thread "good bosses", bjohn mentioned he thought this would be a good thread;
"What's the strangest thing your boss ever accused or asked of you?"

I have to agree that this may be a very intersting thread.

I had mentioned one incident in a thread in the "fun at work" section (Genie on the beach "/forum/discussion_3428.htm") about being forced (at the threat of loosing my job) to drive a diesel powered genie lift up and back at the nude beach for 2 hours minimum, I have also had a service manager send me on a wild goose chase for a certain kind and flavor of chewing tobacco that was no longer made, that after going to 3 stores Iwas told "don't come back here today unless you find it".
This was in the days before computers tracked and billed every minute of a techs time to a job, so I went to maybe 70 stores looking for his flavor of chewing tobacco.
