So part of my job is posting finished real estate transactions on a dry-erase board for everyone to see. I do it after I have reviewed the contracts and approved the sale, but some people CAN'T FUCKING WAIT for me to approve the sales, so they write it on the board themselves, which they're not supposed to do.
So this morning, I saw this one sale on the board written in red ink. I promptly erased it, expecting the lady to come in and complain, at which point I would explain to her that I write the names on the board, not her.
Five minutes ago, in she comes.
Her: "Did you erase 999 Fuckmyass Rd. from the board?!"
Me: "Yes, I did. My boss told me that we don't write sales on the board until he and I approve them."
Her: "Well, don't ever do that again. I write my sales in Red on the board, because it symbolizes the blood of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Without Him, none of us would be able to sell real estate."
Me: *stunned*

oh and now I remember my story about the admin girl who won't answer her phone. I spoke to my old team leader, who went and spoke to the area manager, who then got in a fight with two other managers for 'leaking information' to me!! when it was another manager entirely who tipped us off to the slackarse's ways in the first place.

A good policy for new mums returning to work, I feel, is to PRETEND that there is a person in the office who cannot have kids for biological reasons, and IMAGINE what it would be like to be considerate to that person. That way you do not annoy other women in the office by ducking out of responsibilities with the OH MY BABY excuse (this happened at the last non-magazine office I worked at).
