Loud talking and gossip are the most irritating office pet peeves, according to a 2023 report from Robert Half.
Some awkwardness is to be expected, as many employees switched jobs during the great resignation, and getting accustomed to internal politics takes time. Plus, others may have developed new habits working remotely that push the boundaries of appropriate behavior.
However, there are many more ways through which people become infamous corporate legends.
So Reddit user Murkantilism made a post on the platform asking everyone to share the craziest things they've seen their colleagues do and has received plenty of stories of juicy workplace drama.

I worked with a girl who faked kidney failure, dialysis, surgery the whole bit, to take advantage of the company's sick-leave policy. she'd come back from weekends sunburned but always had a story of why she was outside during the weekend (i.e. watching her brother play kickball). she was found out when we contacted her parents to try to get her hospital room number so that we could send her get-well flowers.

I used to work in a big factory, one guy got fired for missing too many days, there was a rumor going around that he was going to streak throught the factory floor, no one really believed it, but the guy was a bit of a looney so the HR guys escort him off the premises with a security guard... 10 mins later he climbed over a fence, naked, to get back in and proceded to run around the factory holding his privates yelling "wwwhhhooooooo" funniest day at work ever!!

My best friend and I were working in the same place and one day he decided to quit. Our boss was an equal opportunity hater and my friend wanted to make sure our boss knew how much everyone despised him. So he borrowed a brush from a female coworker and pulled almost a handful of hair out of it.
He walked up to the boss, put the wad of hair on his desk and stood there for a moment until boss man finally said "okay you got me, what's this?".
Friend - "I shaved my a*s so you can kiss it m**********r, I quit!"
The look on the boss's face was priceless. He sat back in his chair, took off his glasses, looked dumbfounded for a few moments and said, "okay, you can leave". My buddy said "nope, you escort me out, I have a few things to get off my chest". He let him know how he felt all the way out to the parking lot.

I work at a TV station. I've been here for about five years now. When I first started, about six months in, there was a station wide email about someone smearing s**t all over the stalls in the mens bathroom, and the janitorial service quit on the spot. Now, again, this is a TV News-station with reputable people in an average market.. I don't think they ever found out who did it, but I always had my suspicions.

I large fella working with me years ago used to run and jump to hit the vending machines at work when a selected item failed to drop. I was on break with another fellow employee when her selection got stuck in the vending machine. The large fella takes 7 or 8 steps back and runs, jumps and with his legs tucked under his body smashes through the vending machine glass. The hollow whoosh noise was quickly followed by the tinkling of much glass and the stress of his large frame against the metal shelves. His look on his face will always be a treasure of mine. My co-worker and I stood there with our mouths open and a few seconds and while the large slightly scratched co-worker extricated himself from the machine's embrace, he reached in and grabbed the bag of potato chips for the female co-worker. So the story has a happy ending.

In conference room, during meeting, boss gets up, walks to the corner of the room, and while still talking unzips his pants and pisses in a fake plant. He then sits back down like nothing happened, still mid-sentence.

First week at my last internship, I saw one of my coworkers pick up his desk phone and powerbomb it to the ground. It shattered everywhere, as it was a big phone. He stormed off and didn't come back for a few hours. He later denied it, and kept saying that it fell off the desk. That place makes people crazy.

Working as a janitor at a church, ive seen fellow employees turn the heat up in the baptismal fountain and use it as a hottub. Also have seen people steal and snack on the wine and hosts and someone got a bj during work in a confessional.
