14. False Imprisonment
“I was working for argos as a Christmas job while studying. After a while it was becoming too much as I had to stay in work until deliveries were unpacked.
One night it was a particularly large delivery and it was getting very late with no end in sight. I decided I’d had enough and told the supervisor I was finished, didn’t want to do the job anymore and wanted to go home. He rejected this and said that I was going nowhere until the delivery was unpacked. […] He still said I was going nowhere and refused to unlock the door to let me out.
[…] I ran out the fire escape door and down the street never to return.” – Reddit user StreakyMcMeeky
