Don't work for railroads: Buglike hallucinations, or worse!

You're a mechanic for a railroad company. You have a series of bosses that literally drive you schizo.

Crazy Boss #1 - Tossed a table a co-worker was napping on. Approached you a "menacing fashion" and screamed, while waving a broomstick at your face.

Crazy boss #2 - Liked to "goose" workers. Among lesser evils, he put his hand down the back of your pants twice. One time to squeeze a cheek, the other time to stick his finger where the sun don't shine. Sorry you just read that (shudder).

That's when the humanoid hallucinations began. Something like this began following you around.

 

Defying all reason, you return to work.

Crazy boss #3 - A sledgehammer flew out of his hands, hitting you.

Crazy boss #4 - Chucked a pickax handle, barely missing your head.

Two weeks later, the schizophrenia kicked in.

Not cool, but at least the court awarded you $850k.

For reals? 

Yup. Lancaster v. Norfolk & W. Ry. Co., 773 F.2d 807, 812 (7th Cir. 1985).
