Offbeat: Company tries to fire dude for charging Segway, fails

  • 2¢ the amount he stole by charging his Segway for 1 & 1/2 hours source

Oh, and he had been with the company for 19 years. Problem is, they didn’t look like douches for riding around on a Segway, which we’re guessing was the real grounds for dismissal.
