I once sent a rather risque' (11pm, I was working out of town, post-happy hour) text to who I thought was my wife, but turned out to be my boss... also a woman.

A few years ago I was working in retail and was helping another store get ready for inventory whose manager had quit. It turned out there was a serious problem with their item file and thousands of items had to be manually re entered into their perpetual inventory system so the inventory company could scan them.
I had worked all night with a young lady assistant manager. Goes like this...scan item, enter description,cost, retail, supplier. About 5am, we had pretty much worked a miracle and got it done. We were sitting in the office and her name/security tag was laying there.
I scanned it with the gun and entered her name under description, cost of 5$, price $1,000,000 ,supplier GOD. We had a little laugh and I forgot all about it.
The day after their Inventory, my district manager showed up and closed the office door. He asked if I worked all night with said young lady and I told him I had. He asked if there was something I needed to tell him and I said there wasn't. I was confused.
He reaches in his briefcase and pulls out a deviation report that shows any discrepancy on an individual item over 10,000 bucks. Plain is day is a deviation of 1,000,000 bucks. It was clearly a joke and did not actually present an issue since there was no actual purchase in the system and I explained that to him.
That's when he pointed at the supplier.... Good Stuff!!!!!!!!!! I had typed her name, put in the crazy price and entered God as supplier. Well God wasn't in the system of suppliers so it defaulted to the next one alphabetically.... GOOD STUFF! Boss man says, "So what I need to know is how you came to know that!" It took me a little while to figure out how that got on there and I was able to grab a scanner and duplicate the mistake.
Turns out there was a bunch of layers of upper management already involved. I got at least 4 major butt chewings for that one.
