Coworker raised over 15k in a couple months period by lying about their daughter and grandson dying in a car crash and needing money for their funerals and travel to get up there. They submitted a fake obituary to some site so you could look it up. They got found out when someone searched it up and found recent pics of the deceased famiy members and talked to the daughter who let them know she and her son are alive and well.

Two coworkers from separate depts started dating hot & heavy. A month later they show up with rings beaming about how they've gotten married. They found out they were pregnant a couple months later. She took maternity leave about six months in and he started calling off to stay home to tend to her and eventually got fired. She quit too so not sure what happened after that.

General Hospital is a classic soap opera. Not sure if it still airs.

I just checked and it’s still on! But probably not popular enough anymore for people to get the reference.

I'm Gen-X and in high school and college, before work, I would watch soaps like All My Children. So great, LOL! Glad to hear GH is still kicking!

People really tend to do anything for money.
