I'm sure everybody has encountered headscratching situations in the workspace. Be it from colleagues or clients, some of them make you wanna vomit blood. Let's share our stories! - Client: The artwork colour needs to be exactly the same as our core product. Me: Sure, just let my designer know your Pantone/CMYK/RGB code when you sent the requirements over. *2 weeks later, designer crying. Client has been scolding them for incompetence and "blindness", and just arrived unannounced in the office* Client: YOUR DESIGNER ALL BLIND OR STUPID? I SAID MUST BE SAME COLOUR! I MUST HAVE SAID THIS AT LEAST 10,000 TIMES! Me: Designer, you guys didn't follow brief? Forward it to me I check. Sorry client, gimme 5 mins. Client: *angry face* *I check and there's no problem at all. Followed brief down to the last fullstop* Me: Miss Client, as you can see here, its the same colour code in your brief, and.. *CLIENT EXPLODES, CUTS ME OFF AND STARTS SHOUTING DAMN LOUDLY* Client: What's wrong with all of you! Even you at your level don't understand simple English! *Whips out her laptop to open the artwork* Client: Can you see how different it is!? Look, your laptop, her PC and mine all different colour! *Whips out actual product and aggressively slams it against all the screens* Client: And NONE of them matches my real product!!!!!!! At this point, COO came into my room to ask what's going on since he's next door and can hear everything. He discovers that the client doesn't understand how different machines show colours differently, and that "real" colour on a screen doesn't mean "real" colour produced. He literally threw her out of the office and broke their contract. - Colleague A: You want some bacon? I bring back from Australia. I put some in the oven for you, later try okay? Colleague B: Err... but I'm vegetarian you know right. Colleague A: Oh, I thought you ony cannot eat meat in Singapore. Then how about this kangaroo jerky? Its not beef. *facepalm* Note: Clients From Hell is a real website founded in 2009.

Stupidity of epic proportions!!! If he is what he claimed to be with a bar on each of his shoulders then I feel sorry for the entire organization and his comrades. From STOMP: http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sgseen/what_bugs_me/787032/saf_officer_says_hes_chief_terrorist_at_alqaedah_on_fb_profile.html SAF officer says he's 'Chief Terrorist at Al-Qa'edah' on FB profile An SAF officer had recently claimed to be the 'Chief Terrorist at Al-Qa'edah' on Facebook. He also listed Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi as the people who inspire him the most. A STOMPer had alerted STOMP to the officer's Facebook page. The officer has since made a posting on his page, apologising to those who have been "affected or offended" by his actions. He explained that the postings were "inappropriate" and that they arose from his "naivety and immaturity". He has also clarified that he is not affiliated to "any particular group or individual or ideology". The picture was edited by the contributor.

LOCKED inside the school building one Saturday afternoon, teacher Sivakami Sivanantham panicked and hurt herself while trying to get out. Now she is suing the Ministry of Education (MOE) for damages. Ms Sivakami climbed through a ventilation opening to eventually find herself hanging by her hands close to 4m above the ground in the rear of the building. She then let go, falling to the ground and fracturing her ankle. The 39-year-old teacher was hospitalised at the Singapore General Hospital for a week but was in and out of the hospital for about seven operations. All told, she was on medical leave for more than a year. In her suit, Ms Sivakami is claiming that the ministry had been negligent in not ensuring that she had a safe working environment. Because she was locked within the premises, she also contends through her lawyer, Mr Perumal Athitham, that the MOE caused her wrongful or false imprisonment. Yesterday, on the first day of the hearing, Ms Sivakami, who appeared frail, gave Justice Belinda Ang of the High Court a detailed account of what led to the incident. The court heard how she had returned to Zhangde Primary School at 9am on Saturday, Feb 11, four years ago to prepare for the following week
