I once worked for somebody who's definition of "lazy" was "If you are on the clock and not working for even a nanosecond you're lazy."

He would yell at people for being lazy when there was *no actual work to be done*. He ran a small fast food outlet and he would come in and there would be no customers, the shelves would be organized, the place would be as clean as if the military had got at it and yet if you were standing (Chairs would have made us lazier) behind the counter doing nothing, you were LAZY.

I know that's extreme, but I've heard many tales from others about bosses walking in, finding you doing nothing and screaming LAZY when in fact all the work has been done...
