Travel expenses.Originally Posted by mmc45414
Back in the way back when such things were hardcopies we had an expense report form with all of the travel rules printed on the back side of the form. And every time a certain collogue would get home from a trip one of the admins would come around with new forms with new rules and ask us for any copies we might have of the old form and the old rules and take them and shred them. Not saying that I never ever fudged something to cover the cost of what I actually spent or where I actually spent it (if anyone ever visited Windsor, ON in the eighties, they know what I am inferring...) but this dude took it to a new (eventually criminal) level. I don't know the exact circumstance of his separation from the company (I think he quit) but after him backing into the deal of a lifetime after only a short time on the job (and our boss persistently taunting the rest of it over the new guy's success) he eventually fell from grace as he became a one hit wonder that never followed up with anything else significant.
But when he quit or got fired (he probably milked the one big project until it ran out) he had just come home from a trip, and simply never turned in the rental car until right before the next credit card billing cycle when it would be apparent he had been driving the thing personally for almost a month, and even dropped it off trashed enough that the rental company charged extra for cleaning it. And our boss was embarrassed enough that his favorite son (not actually his son, but they were a couple fuck-ups also) screwed him he just paid the bill and brushed it under the carpet.
And to this day I remember this every time I file an expense report...
We had a county exec for awhile that had a girl friend that traveled with him to conventions. He was married and his travel buddy was some hottie that worked in Humane Services. He used his county credit card pay for her travel and to order some sex toys that the hotel provided. Somebody saw that and started asking questions about authorized expenses. They dug a little deeper and found out who was with him. Eventually the county employee substantiated the affair when questioned. County jobs are hard to get. The end result is Readon resigned and moved out of state to start a new political career.

In the P-F basket of deplorables.
One of my friends, who had only the most basic of charter captain license, persisted in referring to himself as Captain, including having his checks printed with it as a title, long after his license had elapsed because he had pissed off everyone in town that owned a boat and nobody would hire him.
He is doing a lot better these days, if anybody anywhere ever needed to quit drinking, it was dis fuggin guy...
That can get someone dead.
