Our jobs are usually where we try very hard to look like responsible, well-adjusted adults. Being on your best behavior seems like a small price to pay for keeping a steady income. After all, who wants to lose their paycheck because they couldn’t keep it together at work?
Well, apparently, quite a few are happy to push their luck. When one Redditor asked users to share the most ridiculous workplace drama they’d ever witnessed, they came through with some wildly entertaining stories. Scroll down to read them.

Workplace rounders match. About 8 teams. Got to the final and teams started yelling banter. Including "I'm sleeping with your wife!" Turned out a couple guys were sleeping with the bowler's wife, bowler bowled the ball at one's head, giant punch-up ensued, police called, two arrested...
Made the mystery sandwich filling thief at a workplace look quite mundane. It went on for a couple years - people would go get their lunch out of the fridge and find nothing between their slices of bread. They never found out who did it, though it stopped after a possibly-anorexic colleage left.

I worked at a health and beauty store in the high end makeup counters and as you can imagine it was full of drama
The best being when the benefit counter manager started sleeping with one of the fragrance salesmen who happened to also be the partner of the Yves Saint Laurent counter manager. The benefit manager started bragging about it to her counter team, assuming that they wouldn’t tell (counters can very very cliquey)
Well one girls girl was having none of it, rather than directly telling the girl (manager would have made life very difficult for her if it was traced back) she told the right people who made sure it got back to YSL girl and the carnage began
There was a huge fallout and the dude in the middle quit. Somehow both women still work in the same store all these years on.
The same Benefit manager did not learn her lesson and slept with a male staff members boyfriend, the boyfriend walked in on her getting spit roasted by the dudes boyfriend and another dude
Beauty departments are wild.

Our “ex” delivery driver was seeing a lady who worked as a receptionist at a company we delivered to. The owner of this company also had a soft spot for the receptionist and did not try to hide it.
Our driver, trying to be chivalrous, warned the owner of the company to stay away, the owner told our driver to go forth and multiply. Stupidly the driver “took it outside”, I was there and witnessed the fight, our driver pushed the owner a couple of times and in one foul punch, the owner connected a right cross to the nose of our driver.
The driver went down like a sack of spuds, knocked clean out and a nose at a right angle. Luckily, the ambulance station is directly next door and a couple of paramedics on a break sorted the driver out.
The owner of the company we delivered to called the owner of our company and informed him of what happened, unfortunately the driver was fired for gross misconduct and no charges were brought by any party although there was a brief police investigation.
