Tell Us: What's the Strangest Thing You've Found an Employee Doing on the Job?We want to know your favorite weird office anecdotes.

ByNina Zipkin

We all have the crazy work story we trot out at dinner parties – the outrageous anecdote that sounds like it could have been a storyline onThe Office,perhaps drawn from a holiday party gone awry or a company retreat that had a dearth of Internet access.

Job siteCareerBuilderrecently asked more than 2,000 hiring managers to share the oddest thing employees have been caught doing while on the clock. The results range from the more benign – searching for cat photos (we've all done it, don't lie) and taking naps (granted, in this case it was on the boss's couch) – to the straight-up crazy, like taking a drone out for a test drive around the office and testing out hypnosis skills on smoker colleagues to get them to quit.

Other examples include:

  • An employee who decided to take a sponge bath in the bathroom sink.
  • An employee who was supposed to be out making deliveries and hit up a tanning salon instead.
  • An employee who thought it would be a good idea to search for a mail order bride on their work computer.
  • An employee who actually sabotaged a coworker's tires.
  • An employee who had a nip of vodka at their desk while catching up on their Netflix queue.
