everyone's looking at you, oh
everyone's wondering, will you come out tonight
everyone's trying to get it right, get it right
A temp worker in Virginia:
We're stacking boxes that have been returned by a big discount department store that shall remain nameless. The boxes have to have their bar codes scanned and if they scan correctly, we hear Homer Simpson scream "WOO-HOO!" And if they aren't scanned correctly we hear Homer Simpson scream "D'OH!" So all frickin' day it was "WOO-HOO! WOO-HOO! WOO-HOO! WOO-HOO! WOO-HOO! D'OH! WOO-HOO! WOO-HOO! WOO-HOO! WOO-HOO! D'OH!" I'm serious. There were several groups of people scanning these boxes, so I could hear Homer constantly in the background. It was funny at first, then it was hellish.
Speaking of bad management decisions, hiring this guy would be high up on the list. I'm assuming it was an audition.
No, I'm praying it was an audition. He's absolutely awful.

Working horror stories are always fun to read. The best is Rivethead by Ben Hamper (a link to Mike Moore's website!) that tells of working a midnight assembly-line shift at GM. If you think the Homer sound effects are bad, imagine a giant animated marquee sign scrolling the words, "Riveting is fun!" for eight hours straight.
