I wonder if the blues have any good work stories?
I’ll start with one though.
A co-worker left food in the microwave oven and it started a fire. Had to evacuate the building. They took the microwave oven away from us after that.

I have plenty of stories about my last workplace, but I don’t really want to be negative here. :o

My work stories tend to make people gag. Or cry.

I remember when I worked at a newspaper back in the mid 90s. A reporter was complaining that their computer was acting weird. I go there to take a look and the individual was using the CD tray of the CD Rom as a coffee cup holder and they spilled their coffee on the machine.

Does anyone else get a little happy feeling when a panda, centaur, monkey, etc marks your post as the solution?

Sure, it’s almost as good as when an OP comes back and says a solution given was written by me heh

I used to work at a Dunkin Donuts at the food court in a mall. Training skipped an important call out: do not toast low-carb bagels. They’re covered in cheese, which melts off, gets stuck in the toaster, and catches on fire.
It’s amazing how many people keep shopping when the fire alarms go off in a mall.

Optimistically, the covered in cheese component should probably cover the don’t put it in the toaster part. :X

I was 20 and on summer vacation from college, so common sense was not really in evidence. Also, I didn’t realize it was cheese. >_>

Oven Sheet Eggplant Parmesan
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan (the fresher and finer, the crispier)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 medium eggplant, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 2 large eggs, whisked
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 cups favorite red sauce
- 8 ounces sliced whole-milk mozzarella from the deli
- Fresh basil leaves, for topping
- Put a baking sheet on the bottom rack of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F. Position a wire rack over a second baking sheet and set aside.
- Mix the panko and Parmesan in a shallow bowl and season with salt and pepper. Season both sides of the eggplant with salt and pepper. Dip only one side of the eggplant slices first in the beaten egg, then in the breadcrumb mixture to coat. Transfer to the wire rack.
- Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Pour the oil directly onto the hot baking sheet. Working quickly, place the eggplant slices panko-side down onto the oiled baking sheet. Dollop sauce directly on the center of each eggplant slice, then top with a nice slice of mozzarella (drape it over the sides of the eggplant for legendary crispy bits). Put immediately back on the bottom rack of the oven and bake until the bottoms are golden brown and the tops are melted and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Garnish each eggplant medallion with a basil leaf. Serve immediately, either individually or in a giant stack.
note: Instead of using oil for the baking sheet, try Parchment Paper less clean up.

While we got to keep the microwave, one (now ex, but not over that) co-worker put a styrofoam cup of something in the microwave. It smells a lot like an electrical fire, where it burns off the insulation, and spread quickly through the building’s air system making a bunch of people in a bunch of businesses panic.
We almost had that kind of case with an old microwave that didn’t always beep for every button pushed, and sometimes took a single push and doubled the number. Put in food that’s supposed to heat for 7:00 and accidentally have it go for 70:00. Thankfully enough people would need it that someone would see a number more than 10:00 and check with everyone.
