My craziest boss was an anorexic who used to sit in meetings eating canned green beans right out of the can. But she never wanted to touch one of those wretched green beans with the skin on her fingers or with her lips, so she'd pick one bean at a time out of the can, pinching it with her long fingernails and then curling her lips back so she only touched it with her teeth, never her lips, when she got the bean to her mouth.

She also preferred working between about 6 p.m. and 4 a.m. so was hardly ever there during the day. One night, she called me at 1:30 a.m. to discuss a routine email. When my phone rang at 1:30 a.m., I jumped out of bed, thinking some relative had probably been in a horrible accident or something. It was my boss asking a routine question about some routine issue about which I'd emailed her days earlier. When I exclaimed, "Do you know what time it is!" she mumbled something about being sorry, it must be getting late but...and then proceeded to talk for over an hour about routine office business.

I had a boss that would chew her food with her mouth open and talk to you at the same time, but she was an Associate Director of HR

Craziest boss I ever had got caught having sex with the Facilities Manager in his office. The cleaning people busted them and it was the talk of the century at work for months.

I had a boss that no matter what she ordered when we went out to lunch it was wrong.  She would get extremely rude with the waitstaff and then tell them she was not going to pay for their mistake.  Then when they would ask if we wanted desert she would ask if it was free.  It was imbarassing to go out with her.  But even more because she was the VP of HR.

I had a boss that was from the Boston area, when he'd come over to Dallas TX to visit, and do follow up we'd go to lunch.  This guy could never eat with his mouth closed, the entire contents of whatever he put in his mouth would be visible to anyone in the nearby proximity of our table.  He also smacked and slurped soup....not a good example of table manners.  I tried to sit us in the very back...but that was to no avail..as he was also loud.  Once about two years ago we were eating at Texas Land and Cattle in Arlington, and he embarrassed one of salesmen and a jr. recruiter by  passing gas, and loudly shouting, "Sorry Guys a just fawted!"

Anonymous says ...My boss kept telling different ones in the office that his ID was stolen and he could not use his credit card. Several of us let him charge on our credit cards to never get paid back. One poor guy out of our office was with him in Las Vegas at a recruiting meeting for AIG/AGLA when the boss skipped out on a $2,800. 00 bill at the strip bar they were all at. The poor guy never got his money, in fact the boss wrote him a check that bounced. This boss also would tell us all private things about other employees like two of them getting caught having sex in the office. They fired the guy and  kept the girl because she was cute!!! He told us about another agent that was having affairs with two women. How's that for a boss from hell?

What a character!!!!!! Let's see how much fraud he will do with the unemployment now :)
