I just tripped walking up the stairs at work. Thankfully no one was around to see it.



Worst embarrassing moment at work ever? Anyone?


A few months ago I was sick with some stomach bug and accidentally sharted after some bad mexican food for lunch.

I was de-icing our small workshop fridge with a hammer and screwdriver yesterday (right in front of my manager) when i managed to put a hole in the wall of the damn thing. Now we need a new fridge.

I once mocked out a special person on the phone, really badly,
mistakenly thinking it was a friend calling....almost got fired.oster_oops:

 

[Red Rabbit]

I went to the "unmentionable" site at work... Damn IT "friend" let it leak, now everyone knows.

If I here one more poop joke aimed at me I am going to freak..

Too many to mention!

There IS a difference between embarrassing and revolting.

Most embarrassing moment? I don't get embarrassed too much. I fall down all the time so I just take that in stride.

Ummm, I used to work in an office building in a sketchy part of town. From my semi-creepy, single, middle aged male co-worker's window you could see straight onto the viaduct that ran across the street. One day I walked in on him and the other guy in the office watching some crackhead give a blowjob for favors on said viaduct. It wasn't embarrassing as much as really awkward.

Once I knocked over and entire shelf of casserole serving dishes at the Melting Pot. I broke about 150 of them. That was pretty embarrassing.

At my last job I had a desk w/ a monitor shelf on it. Something fell off the monitor shelf into my coffee (a paper clip or staples, not sure what it was).

The coffee was that perfect temperature, still very warm but not so hot that I couldn't take a huge swig.

Whatever was in the coffee stabbed the back of my throat and I blew all of it out onto both my monitors, phone, keyboard, mouse, reports, invoices, purchase orders, work orders, notes, etc.

It was like a water balloon full of coffee hit my desk.

Bonus: someone had also placed a birthday card for my supervisor on my desk for me to sign, which was also destroyed.


Of course this was when we had no cubicles, just a common space in the building with about 5 desks for our dept right next to each other.

3 people said "Dude, what the FVCK?" simultaneously.

I am not even going to touch that one. Too easy.

I mentioned this in another thread, getting totally hammered with my coworkers my 2nd week at the company at a developers conference we all went to. We all ended up swimming and I split my head open. Probably could have used 7-10 stitches too, heh. That was embarrassing.

In some instances they go hand in hand.

does the morning after an office party count?

 

[reflux]

I used to work at a Jamba Juice up in San Luis Obispo. For those of you not from CA, it is located on the Central Coast. As it was, the franchise was owned by two of the original founders of the company. One of the owners, who shall remain nameless (it rhymed with Schmoe) threw what we liked to call "work cleaning parties." As for what exactly happened at these parties, well, you can fill in the details. I was particularly hammered at the end of one of these parties, something like 13+ drinks into the night (yes, it led to my worst hangover ever), I accidently hit Schmoe in the face. It wasn't until I showed up at work two days later when everyone asked me if I had spoken to Schmoe since the party. Me, having no recollection of what happened, had to call Schmoe to apologize. If it weren't for his good sense of humor and worries over potential legal problems, I likely would have been fired.

Been pretty lucky for the funny embarassing things, fly open, getting too drunk and tossing cookies is about the worst I've had.

I busted the foosball table once by loosing my temper and yanking on the bars (4 broken guys, 2 broken handles)...definitely not a funny embarassing thing.

Note to self, do not Piss off SilentJ...

If his temper can do that.. what can his arms do?

You've made the list.

Berm or transition filler?

Our office is full of cubes and it is really quite....one day I busted ass and it was loud. I was pretty embarrassed. I'm just hoping no one could tell which cube it came from

[indieboy]

my first job was with babbage's, what is now gamestop, at my local mall in highschool. i was brought on during the holiday rush.
anyways, my first manager was trying to resolve an issue for a lady who bought something from us, i want to say it was a game that was stratched to hell somehow in the original packaging. so he called our corporate offices. he dialed up the number on the phone with the speaker phone option on, like he always did until the other end picked up. well apparently he misdialed the number b/c it was a porn line. oops.

Owning up to the team that I had dropped a brand new HP server when trying to rack it, totalling it. Finding out that the O/S & apps that I had spent a couple of months building on said server had not been backed up...

 

[pinkshirtphotos]

[jonKranked]

I used to work for a magazine and every year we'd have a huge party with every kind of food imaginable. One year someone screwed up the planning and ordered mainly rich desserts and booze. I showed up with an empty stomach and went to town on the free food and drink. About halfway through the evening, things started to churn and rumble. I took a deep breathe, knowing that I couldn't wade through the huge crowd to get to the other end of the room in time. Looking around, I spotted a cup of beer (not my own) and commenced the yacking.

I was sitting in my little cube room joking with a few other co-workers about what we did the previous night and I told them that I sat home in the dark crying and masturbating to internet pornography. After I say this one of them shoots me a look and I find out that one of the women I worked with was in the room at the time. ROFL!

You can't joke about masturbation in front of women at your work?


That's sexist.

It's more that her face looked like someone had shot facial features on with a shotgun and she foamed at the mouth.

So she was clearly familiar with the topic at hand.

So she was clearly familiar with the topic at hand.

Which therefore means you should have invited her to discuss her activities from the night before.
