One I can think of offhand was when I was working at a big-chain Supermarket. The boss hated me since day-one on the job for no apparent reason, and therefore I never got any real promotions, just a half-assed one where I still tended to get screwed. Anyway, one day another guy with the same job as me took a couple of dozen eggs and threw them all over the back room, making a pretty noticable mess. This dude was a "golden boy" in the boss' eyes, and could do no wrong. Well I knew him better and knew immediedately that he did it. I don't know if someone simply lied and said I did it or if the boss just made up his mind that it "must have been Mr Coaster." I was up for a review and the boss flat out accused me of it, "Well, then theres the egg incodent," which is why I didn't get a promotion. I asked him who told him that and he didn't say. I was 100% innocent, but still got blamed.
True, it was a shitty job. True, I hated the place & the boss. True, I was a hotheaded punk at the time. But I had always followed a simple rule... Don't shit where you sleep. I knew better than to do something like that right there.
