Horrible Bosses - the worst you have ever had?

Saw the trailer to the above movie and got me thinking about my worst ever boss.

Mad large woman who would not let us use the fridge to store our lunch; she once put a pitta bread of mine in the bin in from of me as I had dared use the fridge! She suggested we use lunch boxes with ice packs a la primary school.

Same woman had a tiny dog who hated thunder and lightening and once when there was a storm and she was out of the office called me to say to go pick up the dog and sit with it on my knee until she got back. It pooped all over me, runny poop, and she never said sorry.

Had a letchy pervy boss who once said to me on a client night out if I had remembered to set my alarm for the morning, perplexed at such a question I said no and he said "how about I roll over and nudge you?" JUST VILE.

My manager in a supermarket when I was doing my masters refused to let me go to my final exam, all because I could only give her 2.5 weeks' notice instead of the requisite three (I was informed of this date, didn't chose it, and was entirely reliant on the dates that the external examiner - from a university 100 miles away - was available). I told her I'd be phoning in sick on that day regardless when she asked me "what happens if you don't go?".

Current line manager (who is otherwise lovely!) told me that my maternity leave was "bad timing", and I was finishing "so far away from my due date". First day of maternity leave was at 39 weeks.
