Answer 1

going with the mother in-law to buy a hat for her own funeral

Answer 2

I had to attend a mistery tour and hold a meeting at the said event.... Now, I had a 70 mile commute to work (and 70 miles home) everyday.

So everybody got onto the tour bus and off we went....

To my home town ! and the meeting was in the hotel across the road from where I lived.

I had to get back on the bus to go and get my car so that I could get to work the next day.

Answer 3

Me & my colleagues had to drive 40 miles to a hotel & were then encouraged to make a tower out of newspaper - team building apparently!   I left the company shortly after!

Answer 4

my company participates in Habitat for Humanity but that is a fairly clean, organized operation
