Personal PIN number...
... is a favourite, but there are more. When working at a bank in Manchester, I spent the afternoon of September 11th 2001 watching the terrorism happen. Upon returning to my desk I informed the team that Osama Bin Laden was the man suspected of flying the two plnes into the world trade centre, causing them to fall down.

My assistant boss wanted to know which department Osama worked in, why he did it and which tram stop in Salford Quays the world trade centre was closest to.

Fucking idiot.

Also, my boss was later heard saying I should have been doing my work instead of watching the thing on telly as 'it would be repeated anyway'. No sense of occasion, some people.
