Selling warez. He was the security guard at our Best Buy. He would buy the games at another store that accepted returns, copy them, return them, and then sell the copies at Best Buy.
Reported him to the store manager and he did nothing. Reported him to the district loss prevention manager. He did nothing. I know he was eventually fired, but I am not sure for what exactly.

I got caught using AIM and was reprimanded severely. Yes, I do work for a facist regime of a company.

I thru 1 and a half dozen eggs in the back walk-in freezer of a local convenience store I just so happened to work at.
Management didn't find out until a month later. When the walls of the freezer where covered in frozen egg yokes and shells.
I was sick enough of the job that I was curious to see if they would of fired me. They didn't. They moron manager said I was allowed "1 screw up" per year.

I used to work at a restaurant.
People would smoke weed ALL THE TIME in the employees bathroom during work.
One guy (on a slow day) drank a 3l jug of wine over the course of a 6 hour shift all by himself in the walk in cooler :Q. He had to call his brother to come get him, as he couldn't even walk.
Two words. Potato fight. 😀
A cooked medium pizza, thrown Oddjob-style at a busboy, hit him square in the face. Hilarity ensued.
Floor hockey in the walk-in cooler involving brooms and tater skins.
Beer chugging contests were routine. And usually involved beer that sold at the bar for $5 a bottle.
A friend of mine made out with the 15 y/o owner's daughter in the walk in cooler (he was 16). Owner never found out.
All sorts of shenanigans like this happened at that restaurant. And nobody ever got fired as a result. I was only a dishwasher, but I kind of miss that job.

Played basketball.
Played Hockey.
Surf ATOT all day.
Play games.
Look at pr0n.
There is also a guy in our office who does absolutely nothing. I'm serious. He doesn't get up from his chair other than to pick up the linux manuals he prints (even though we don't use linux), and to get food / soda. We've come to accept that he does nothing, but its annoying. When he is actually given work to do, he finds a way to screw it up.
One of our supervisors surfs Match.com all day. It took a year to fire a lady who didnt show up half the time.

I sent a not so nice e-mail about managers to the whole corporation europe-wide(1000 recipients). One manager thought it would be appropriate to use a new 14-line signature for e-mails and one Admin responded with "RTFM" and explained what RTFM, Netiquette, etc. really meant and stuff. It was pretty funny, typical BOFH-Mail 🙂 So I pressed "Reply"(thought it would only go back to that Admin) and the e-mail was like: "ROTFL, yeah... I'm on your side... those managers always want some funky stuff.". I got a phone call 3 minutes later from that Admin and he told me that he changed the "Reply-To:" flag to the europe-wide e-mail adress cuz if someone wants to discuss it, everyone should know it....
didn't get fired, maybe because I was still in my apprenticeship 🙂

I was told on for sleeping once by a customer when I wasn't sleeping. Aparently someone told one of the owners of the gym, one was my cousin, that I was sleeping for three hours. First of all my shifts were four hours long, an hour of which I cleaned the bathrooms and vacuumed. Another two hours I spent working out. Secondly no one goes to the gym for three hours. So I would have had to cleaned and exercised in my sleep. Stupid lying fvckhead customer. The one guy wanted to fire me but my cousin said I wouldn't do that.
