I've had a couple of family members steal money from me in the past. It was never a really large amount. One of them stole 50$, and the other stole 20$. When I found out about it, I refused to speak to them for a while. But, we soon buried the hatchet and have good relationships with one another now. However, if it had been a larger amount, say 200$ or more, I'm not sure I'd be on speaking terms with them today. The stolen 50$ was birthday money that I didn't really need and the 20$ was just some extra cash I had in my wallet. If I hadn't been told about the theft, I'd probably have chalked up the missing twenty to my tendency to lose money from time to time.

I doubt we will get something weirder. Context for the picture?
You do? That's mild. I had a boss once and a small company I worked for, who was kind of unstable. The company was going under, and they had creditors calling all the time. Once, he told me to get on the phone with the woman and tell her he died. Seriously- would not take no for an answer.

Lol.
"Miss? I am terribly sorry, but mister X has just died."
"What? How come? I spoke to him just a few seconds ago?"
"Well, uh... looks like something fell on his head..."
"What? I didn't hear any noise."
"Yeah um, because it was... soft. That's why it didn't make any noise. Looks like feathers."
"Feathers killed him?"
"Yes... a lot of them. You can not possibly imagine how many feathers there are in here now."
"BUT WHERE DID THEY COME FRO..."
"OH MY GOD THERE IS MORE.. UGH!"
"HELLO?.... IS THERE ANYONE THERE? OH MY GOD."
Woman is gonna be afraid of feathers for life...
I was once asked to draw a really exciting and lively and stylishly looking... forklift truck. Sixteen pages of sketches later a guy from the forklift truck company came over and checked them out and was like.
"well I would prefer something more..."
"crazy?"
"no, more like... discreet? or sterile?"
"boring."
"well, you might put it that way"
"you want them to be more boring"
"yes"
(please kill me)

I've heard of some crazy ^&*!, but anything I've had to do hasn't reached that caliber.

I've never been asked to do anything out of the ordinary. I used to work in landscaping, and everything we have to do is pretty much routine and necessary for the job. We had a couple of picky customers that would complain if their lawns weren't cut or trimmed perfectly, or if we accidentally missed a couple of little weeds in their flower beds, but that's about it.

I had a friend at Subway who had to chase a live goose for his interview.
Nothing really comes to mind, for me.

Subway... chase a live goose... interview.
Seriously... %^&* that job. !@#$ that manager. ^&*! the state in which that bull*!@# is legal.
How in the hell does chasing a live goose prove you can make a goddamn sandwich?

I have no idea, but it was hilarious as none other to watch.
If it makes it any better, I was told that that guy was fired later.

Well, long ago when I worked as a lab tech, one time I showed up to work and the lab PI immediately told me "you're driving down to to deliver this stuff by hand." I might have argued that wasn't what my position entailed, but it sounded like a fun day on the road and they paid the gas.

Not me, but my co-worker (We push carts at Wal-Mart) had to go out to the back of the store one day, when he was the only person on morning shift, and watch a loading bay door get fixed. For three hours.
Then, when he got back, the same people complained about how he hadn't been picking up carts.
I've also been scheduled for 6 hours, with no lunch time set aside. When I confronted a manager about it, she said I could just leave early so it wasn't actually a six hour shift...
