CareerBuilder surveyed an array of U.S. Hiring Managers to see what the most bizarre, unique, or memorable requests ever made by their employees. To their surprise, CareerBuilder received over 2,900 such requests from their respondents. Below is a selection of the funniest or most outrageous memorable requests received.

Request to allow people to change clothes in their cubicles.
Request to add a tanning bed to the break room.
Request to put beer in the vending machine.
Request that jail time be covered under family medical leave.
Request to institute bikini Fridays.
Request to only be required to work during daylight hours because employee is scared of the dark.
Request for a special smoking area for medical marijuana.
Request that the HR person wear nicer shoes.
Request for more time off to pursue side business as a clown.
Request to replace his desk with a futon so employee could lay down and work.
Request that the lactation room with gliding chair be used for naps, so everyone can use it.
Request to install a swimming pool for employees to use.
Request to have the team meeting to be held in Hawaii.

Makes you wonder what the heck were these people thinking when they made their request...lol. I especially like the "Request for more time off to pursue side business as a clown" hey the worst they can say is No lol. I wonder if the HR department’s response was to that request LOL.

Quick question, what place has people seeing the insides of a jail so frequently that they make a "Request that jail time be covered under Family Medical Leave"...LMAO SMH. Can you say where a bulletproof vest if you plan to work at that company LOL.

This just made my day!!!! Thanks CareerBuilder
