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.

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
