My first manager used to slap everybody's a*s when he first saw them on any given day.
Not lightly either - like a full blown smack. I literally had a red mark for a few hours once. Needless to say he didn't last long.

Worked with a guy at a gas station who was blatantly selling d***s to the Subway employees we shared the building with *while standing at the cash register*. We even had customers who would come in and say 'hey, pretty sure I saw the guy who opens selling d***s behind the building.' He was not at all as covert as he had convinced himself he was. The store manager allowed it, essentially, because she didn't want to have to get up early to open the store and he would do it for her.

A mechanic at the chemical plant where I worked decided to steal some copper tubing by wrapping it around his chest and covering it with his jacket. But it was really cold when he clocked out and the copper constricted and he couldn't breathe by the time he got up to the guard gate. The guards had a good laugh unwinding him.

A large heavy set man falling down a set of stairs what seemed to be in slow motion and once he got to bottom he screamed MY BALLS! Then he got up, picked up what ever fried snack he was eating and casually walked away as if it never happened.

Watching a dude's hand melt off from sticking it into a fryer is up there on my list. Not #1, but top 10 at least. Probably.
