Annoying Boss Stories?

Have to post about my boss's idiocy last night... and MTay's story reminded me there are MANY more of you who have worse bosses than I do... Share your stories (or just moments) here.
Monday, I called sick into my work (I was supposed to do a 5 hour mid-day shift) and couldn't find anyone to cover for me. So the dude I was supposed to work with (asst. manager) was apparently pissy when the morning girl left and I wasn't there. Tough freakin cookies. I wonder what first-tri symptoms revisited HIM last time he was pregnant.
Tuesday, I was 8 minutes late. I got up to the register and the manager looked at me and said, "I was getting worried." I didn't want to stand there making excuses, so I just said, "Sorry." So she asks if I am just "Pregnant Slow" these days. So then I roll my eyes at her and tell her about the accident I passed on my way in. WTF is "Pregnant Slow?" And the dumbarse had me loading boxes all night... which weighed 50 lbs. So they stayed on the floor because I was not moving them. I was in a tank top and sweating. Customers (and my coworker) were all in sweaters and comfortable.
Ugh. If you haven't gone through pregnancy, you should not be allowed to question your pregnant employees when they don't show up or are late. You just sound stupid.
OK, share yours.

Re: Annoying Boss Stories?
When I was pregnant with DD I was a manager at a tanning salon. I worked up until 38 weeks & all the girls that worked nights called-off & some didn't show up. It was sooo busy & my pregnant ass was running up & down halls cleaning beds,goggles, and signing people in. My boss new what was going on and didn't come to help. I was sooo mad & it happened way more than once.
My boss is disgusting. Terrible hygeine. Every tooth in his head is ROTTING. I kid you not. The guy is a VP of a major national company, he should totally fix his teeth.
Well he is always w/ his fingers in his ears, his nose, his mouth. It's disgusting and then he TOUCHES everything in the common areas. If someone brings in bday cake and leaves it out he will stick a fork right into it and eat it. He plays w/ the crumbs around the cake and then puts them on top of the cake. It grosses me the eff out. When someone brings food if I don't get to it RIGHT when they put it out I don't go near it in case my pig boss has touched it.
The other day he is at my desk talking to me and sees a smudge on the printer and begins to clean it with his SPIT. Yes, you read that right. So I go "EW, did you just lick the printer? And you have a cold. That is so unsanitary." He seemed a little embarrassed, but apparently not enough cause a week later he effing did it AGAIN. Cleaned the printer by MY desk with his SPIT... Did I mention that alllll of his teeth are BLACK...
OK, going to vomit now. Thanks for letting me vent!
