GIVE AWAY: White iPhone 4

[keerf]

I think the craziest thing I ever expensed was a night at scores with a client of ours (and yes gods honest truth). We were trying to land a job, so this was the best way to woo him. Needless to say, we got the bid.

104 ringtone downloads. I had to pay for every single one to keep my service on. Oh, and the phone broke the next week. Never let your children take hold of your phone!

Craziest expense

maybe not the craziest, but I did put the bar tab from Spearmint Rhino in Las Vegas on an expense report. Best part about it was it got paid !!!

I got to expense 2500 dollar bill to strip club for a client. I'm a winemaker, the owners were not happy with me. But the client loved me.

How about Entenmann's cheese crumb coffee cake from Safeway. Because it was food, and I needed to eat . . .

Filling up 5 gasoline containers. I was using more gas trying to get to the gas station than just going to work etc.! We need a closer gas station I'd say!

I am the GM of a Brewery in Michigan, and for a Seasonal Brew, we expensed the cost of a live Beaver we rented for a month to promote the beer. Big Beaver Ale.

A pair of wellies and an umbrella. I got called out on it. My argument was had I been at home, I would have used my own. In the end I was reimbursed.

Buying 30 songs off iTunes of my wife's favorite artist. Though, it was the wrong artist. Oh, and that same day was our anniversary. Yep, she wasn't happy.

I expensed many things while working in sales. Once I expensed a lunch at Hooters that occured during the work day with a few beers on the ticket. Another time while away at training for a week I ate a steak at a different restaurant every night and expensed every one of them.

What? No one is going to say it?

Fine, I will.

CONDOMS.

Two "escorts" and three bottles of chianti.

Business trip gone bad...

Once, on a flight from Korea to Germany I had a connecting flight in Amsterdam (story isn't going where you think it is...). Before Korea I was in Japan and purchased some souvenirs which I had in my carry-on leaving Korea. They included a Japanese fighting star, which I considered a "toy" (it wasn't "sharp") however the police that were called to the security area in the Amsterdam airport seemed to differ on the definition. I was subsequently taken to the basement of the Amsterdam airport, arrested, read my rights and had to wait for a sentence to be rendered by a judge. The fine was $180 euro's and of course, coming from Japan and Korea, I had no Euro's. Therefore was escorted to a bank for a withdrawal. It was a business trip, right!?!

All this and I still made my connecting!

(And I still have a copy of the arrest record to prove it)

Threw a holiday party for our division at my residence. Lumped in with the catering and decorations expenses, I added the maid service, landscaper, and maintenance person bill. Hey, place needed to be cleaned (before and after event) yards needed to be dialed in and I had to get some dry wall and touch up paint work that needed to be done before the party. Yeah, I pushed it a bit, but it slipped through!

I took the family out for camping! Only to have to buy 4 different tents. Let's just say, tents don't do well with scissors and a 5 year old around. It turns into "Making creations for mommy."

I once had to order 30 ft studs to build a huge wall in a warehouse (I obviously work in construction). Standing those up to the roof was a but ridiculous, and hilarious to watch someone else try to do

(for anyone not impressed, the average wall built out of metal is 8-10 ft tall)

White Mens briefs, Old Spice, massage

My old VP of Engineering expensed Mens white briefs, old spice and a massage after his luggage was lost on a business trip.
