Today, I was woken up at 7:00am for a work emergency after a long night of partying. If the 15 missed phone calls didn't do it, the hose water that was sprayed through my window by my boss sure did. FML

what exactly are you talking about? how am i doing the same thing? i was the first comment, i'm already on top.
That was my immediate thought as well. What boss does that? Also, lesson learned don't leave your window open at night.

Such an 'emergency' that your boss had time to travel to your house and spray you with a hose? Some emergency. I call fake.
#23 - no they aren't, #5's username is lizzzie and #15's is bugmenotmofo... they are not the same person

tko, calm down, seriously. he's not harmed anyone by calling fake on a story that, lets face it, probably isn't true. no need to get so angry.

He may not have technically had to work the next morning.
One of my friends is the IT Manager for the entire company - a telecommunications centre. If something happens and the phone lines go down, they lose a fuckload of revenue until things are back up. Sometimes he is the only one who can fix certain things, so he gets calls all the time on his 'days off' ... and yes, our boss *has* gone to his house and banged on his door when she couldn't reach him by phone.
When it really is a work 'emergency', you're damn straight they will contact you on your day off if they need to, by any means necessary.

how much of an emergency did it have to be for your boss to come to your house and spray you with water trough your window, and isn't it kind of cold now in north carolina to sleep with your window open?
Probably didn't have work in the morning. It was an emergancy after all.

It's kind of sad that South Park is where you know that from.

I live in Fort Bragg, NC (Fayetteville) and
no it's not cold here in North Carolina. I'm not sure where the OP lives, but it was 80 degrees on Halloween.

Wow YDI for not waking up. But if it was really a emergency the boss could have taken care of it himself instead of taking the time an coming to your house
Since when is an employee at the beck and call of the employer even on time off? I say fuck your boss and tell him to go die in a fire.

I'm guessing this person is in IT. Lots of IT people are "on call" even when they aren't at work. When you're on call, you aren't supposed to be out of town, or otherwise unable to get to work. If the OP was on call, he should have been more responsible. If he wasn't on call, then F his life.
Or, though this is less likely, they could've worked in a hospital, where even if you're not on call, you can be called in if you're needed. My friend works in the emergency room and helps doctors if they need things (he is a part-time, with no medical degree, so he doesn't deal directly with patients unless he needs to, like delivering meals or changing bed pans). He was called in recently for an emergency at 6am and didn't have a choice to go in (there was a serious car accident or something) and ended up missing 2 of his classes that day (we're in university).

LMFAO. Persistent son of a bitch!
I'm curious, what was the work emergency?
#38 - On 11/01/2009 at 1:16pm by Darling_Cherry
I wonder if he would do that if an employee died. x_x

Whenever you gamble, you may inevitably lose. You, dear OP, lost big-time. That said, your boss needs to get real. Oh, unless you are going to file assault and employee abuse charges, you've now got a damn good bit of blackmail. Use it well.

for those calling it fake, it could be real, he could be military, in which it doesn't matter, you're on call 24/7 365 days a week... and yah there are bosses in the military who would do this. Especially if there was a real emergency and they needed the guy. They are less likely to do it if it's just an exercise recall in which they would have just waited for his ass to wake up then chewed his ass out.
haha, in the military they dont bother with a hose through your window. they would just bust into your house and yell you awake.

so the emergency wasn't bad enough that he could drive to your house and spray water on you? hmmmm
#67 - On 11/01/2009 at 7:57pm by meganmurmaiderr
Do you not lock your window? YDI
Somebody could just as easily come into your house and steal everything you have while you're sleeping if it was that easy for your boss to spray water through the window.
Yeah right. If it really was an emergency, why bother waking you up? Why not just fire you instead?
