    Johnny Paycheck was a strange man, but he made some of the best country music of his era. My Mom owned a small country bar in the 1970's and this record was in the jukebox for five years! The record had to be replaced every so often by the vendor because it was played so much that each copy would wear out!

Total scumbag of a boss and an even scummier company. They also kept my last paycheck because they said I owed almost $1,000 on PTO which wasn't true. I was going to fight the unemployment decision but I had my new job lined up and already had enough on my plate fighting with HR and the PTO, which I ultimately won, so I felt it wasn't worth it for the unemployment

Since then, that job fired me on a bullshit technicality. (Very long story. I will admit that it was a situation I could have handled differently, but at that time, I lost all respect for the company policy because the company had no respect for me.) I now work at a place that’s hell of a lot more respectful that the shit hole I used to work for.

    I remember our Geography teacher, Mr Richter, announced his retirement on stage at our high school assembly one morning in 2002. All of a sudden, this song starts playing and he's right there singing it! It was very unexpected for us students, and funny, seeing as he was a very humble, quiet, serious and conservative man. That day he showed us!
    What a legend, Mr Richter. President High School in Goodwood, Cape Town, South Africa. In service of our students and community for over 30 years. You will always have my respect, Sir.

    I had an IT friend of mine stream this song on repeat over the company's intercom, and then he and I both walked out. Message loud and clear after systematic employee harassment (impossible work load, mandatory overtime and weekends, total asshole supervisor acquired in a merger, etc.). Since he was the only IT guy onsite, rumor has it that the song played continuously for 45 minutes. They couldn't figure out how to shut it off and finally resorted to flipping the breaker switch off in the server section of the building which resulted in dozens and dozens of data files being lost or corrupted. Was told later that a few employees, who were cheering and singling the lyrics, were terminated on the spot. They were happy to leave, but a few months later, CEO was handed a subpoena: a stack of lawsuits for employee harassment, wrongful termination, fraud accusations, etc. I can't reveal the name of the company, but management was so bad it was irreparable and the company eventually closed. Love this song.
