One time I was a temp worker at an office. There was this really old fax machine that no one knew how to use properly. I was tasked with sending an urgent fax. After struggling for ages, I finally managed to send it, but then the fax came back with a note saying 'Wrong number, try again'. It was so embarrassing but also hilarious.
As a temp in a factory, there was a machine that made a really loud noise whenever it started. One new temp worker thought it was about to explode every time. So, he would run to the other side of the room and hide. We all found it really funny and would tease him about it. Eventually, he got used to it, but for a while, it was the best entertainment in the factory.
I was a temp in an office once. The supervisor there was really mean. He would yell at us for the smallest mistakes. For example, if we made a minor formatting error in a document, he would go on a rant. It was a very hostile work environment. And to top it off, they didn't pay us on time for two weeks in a row. It was really a nightmare working there.
I heard of a temp worker who was promised a certain wage but when payday came, they were paid way less. The company tried to say it was a mistake but it took weeks to sort out. Another horror story is that some temp workers were made to work in extremely hot conditions without proper ventilation. They were on the verge of passing out from the heat.
Once, there was a construction worker. He was using a power drill and started dancing along with the rhythm of the drill's sound while working. His coworkers saw him and joined in the impromptu 'drill dance party'. It was hilarious and they all had a great time during that work break.
One time, a hotel porter was helping a very important guest with their luggage. He accidentally tripped and all the luggage tumbled down the stairs. Fortunately, nothing was broken. The guest was initially shocked but then burst out laughing at the porter's clumsy yet comical situation. They ended up having a great conversation about how we all have our clumsy moments.
Sure. Once, a hotel worker was showing a guest to their room. The guest asked where the nearest ice machine was. The worker confidently pointed in a direction and said 'Just down that hall'. But when the guest went there, it was actually a storage closet. The worker had gotten confused and they both had a good laugh about it later.
There was a case where a temp agency didn't provide proper training as promised. A temp was sent to a factory job and got injured on the first day because they had no idea how to operate the machinery safely. The temp agency then refused to take any responsibility for the injury.
Well, it's hard to say for sure. You'd have to check the various issues of the comics to find out if Temp V makes an appearance. Sometimes characters come and go depending on the plot.
A group of farm workers once decided to have a race between the tractors. But one of the tractors broke down right at the start. The driver, instead of getting frustrated, started making tractor noises with his mouth and pretended he was still in the race. His friends on the other tractors were laughing so hard that they almost drove off the fields.
