35 of the Funniest Complaints Received by HR

There are plenty of instances when HR does nothing to help the employees who reach out to them. But in fairness, it does seem like some HR personnel may have been pushed to the edge by baseless (yet hilarious) employee complaints.

One Redditor received a complaint that hinged on the fact that their office had a singular toilet. The complainant became convinced that his coworker was deliberately going into the restroom before him and dropping massive stinkers, thereby forcing him to “marinade in the smell” when it was his time to use the facilities. However, since using the bathroom as intended isn’t a crime, HR’s solution was to provide a can of air freshener. Of course, the pooper never used it, leading to a separate but equally hilarious complaint. 

Other HR workers have shared grievances just as delusional, including loud sneezes, printer locations and a “haunted” office.
