A coworker gave me some THC laced stuff at work without warning me. So I’m sitting at my desk, when all of a sudden I start panicking. I feel weird. Is my heart stopping? I can’t move my arms. I start yelling. Other coworkers come to my aid. I tell them I can’t move my arms, while waving them wildly. They tell me I need to go to the hospital. The coworkers who dosed me said he’d take me, and they had to wheel me out to his truck in my desk chair because I said my legs didn’t work either.

In the car, he told me I can’t say anything about what he gave me, or we’d both be in huge trouble. So, I freak out more. We get to the ER, and I just don’t say anything. He’s talking for me. In the room, they give me some Valium and I calm down. The nurse thinks we are a couple. He’s a 40 year old dude, I was a 23 year old dude. Too freaked out still to correct her.

Next day, go back to the office like nothing happened.

You should have probably gone to HR about that. Without an explanation, the behaviour reflects poorly on you for something your coworker did which was not only illegal, but extremely immoral. You do not give someone drugs without their knowledge or consent! Wtf! You know he only took you to the hospital to protect himself. I would not feel safe working in the same space as him.

Yeah, of course. I’m fully aware of all of that. That was over a dozen years ago, and that company didn’t even have an HR department. At least not in the States.

I actually stayed friends with that guy for years. Even after we both left that place. I just saw him a few months ago at my new company’s tech open house, it’s a surprisingly small industry.

He probably would have been fired for that, but you really had to try to be fired from that place. Some examples I can think of are:

  • Threaten your boss with gun violence
  • Have a drunken arm wrestling tournament in the shop after hours, then threatening the guy who beat you, and the president of the company with gang violence.
  • Talk about fucking another employee so hard, sparks will come out of her vagina, to her fiance. Then grope somebody afterwards.
  • My favorite, micro-dose LSD for productivity, then make up a flyer about a sacrifice to Cthulu in the break room and distribute it around the building.

Jesus H Christ. These are oddly specific and terrifying are these actual reasons people at your company got fired for?

I woke up (from a blackout) on the hood of a car. A car that was stopped at a red light and wasn’t the car my friends were driving. I guess I leapt out of the backseat and rolled around on their hood? Idk, I blacked out again then came-to again rolling through some wet grass. Blacked out again and woke up on a couch.

Turns out that humans can teleport.

Want more details? Me too. But I have no idea. It was more than two decades ago and I no longer drink.

Sometimes it’s better to not know and just say thank you.

I was given drugs for a tooth extraction and while I do not remember anything about it after I was given the drugs, my friend who was with me did. I had gauze in my mouth and I wanted some fries really badly. I basically walked into the window like an NPC with bad AI and my friend was like, “Elaine don’t come in, I’ll get some for you!” while trying not to laugh because I was staring into the window with my hands on the glass and my eyes were wide open like I was on crack or something.

Then when she gave me the fries I walked over to a bench outside and I started furiously eating them in a way that looked “savage”, all while I had gauze in my mouth! 😂 Everyone was giving me weird looks or laughing. She called a taxi so we could go home and the first thing the driver said was "woah woah woah is she gonna throw up or?"and my friend told him “no she’s not drunk she’s had a tooth extraction and it’s the drugs”.

When I got home I passed out in bed and slept for like 20+ hours.
