This could belong in cursing out co-workers as its about a co-worker of mine slipping up, but we turned the situation around in to some good old fun 
First, the cast of characters.
T:Our dept. supervisor
J: a co-worker in my dept.
D: The Target
Me(E): The "un-implicated" accomplice
While cellphones aren't allowed on the sales floor, management is lax enough with this rule if having your cell doesn't effect your job performance. Also common sense would dictate that you wouldn't have your cellphone on with a ringer AND you wouldn't answer your phone on the sales floor anyway.
Unfortunately these things seem to fly over D's head.
So im sitting in the break room when T and J come in laughing....
J: E! You have D's cell number right?
Me: Umm....yah, whats up?
T: Dont worry, you wont be implicated at all.
Me: Implicated? Now you gotta tell me whats up.
J: We just saw D answer his cell out on the sales floor so we think we are gunna have a little fun with him....
T: I'm going to go up to him and ask him to take care of the cooler's, meanwhile J is going to call his cell while im talking to him. Just see what happens...
Me: Ehh, i dunno, i don't wanna get him in trouble or anything...
T: don't worry you wont be implicated (theres that word again) and its all in good fun.
So I hand over the cell number and see T run off to talk to D. J and I go hide in the management office and wait a few minutes. Once we get the signal from T over the radio J starts phoning D from the work phone. Once.........twice........three times
After a bit I head out to see what happened. I find T and D standing on the sales floor, D as red as a tomato. I go up pretending that i was coming off break and relieving D. (since i wasn't implicated remember?)
The first thing T says when he sees me walking up?
T: * with an accusing finger* And HE was in on it!
Me: !!!!! What happened to not being implicated!?!?!?!?
Apparently the way D handled it was by ignoring the call and just listening to T. Didn't work to well since his ring tone is Dragula- Rob Zombie. Safe to say he is keeping his cell off the floor now or at least on silent and he won't answer it!
I love my job.
