I was working (as an architectural model maker) for a developer who was trying to put up an ugly f*****g building in the middle of Mansion House London. Anyways he had this dog super special trained so that it would only obey his commands. So I was working on adding some stuff to a display in his office and the dog was under my feet, so I said really nicely 'Can you go lay down over there please?' and it did.
I was fired on the spot.
