Yiiiikes. I feel for them. Sounds like the exact opposite of how you want your first day to go. I don't remember anything specific about mine, just a general stressed feeling as I tried to process everything that was being thrown at me. There's always so much to take in on that first day, no matter how experienced you are.
I had a first day where my badge didn’t work, so I kept getting locked out every time I left the office space ... By the end of the day, security probably thought I was a trespasser. Definitely memorable for the wrong reasons!
It's really frustrating when things start out poorly at a new job. It sets the tone for a very long time. My first day at my current job was the complete opposite. They were so organized and so patient with me as I got set up with everything.

Ouch that’s very unfortunate and so frustrating, not what you want to happen on your first day. But always remember we are only human, we’re not perfect, people make mistakes and you never know what could be on someone’s mind.
