    Your boss is putting something on your desk and you realize that your computer screen is on you guessed it...mfp!

    ^^ This!

    Or when someone walks by your office when you're in the middle of trying to squeeze in 2 minutes of jumping jacks. I needed to wake up!! :laugh:

    I work at a gynecologists office so I have more than my fair share of awkward moments, none of which you probably want to hear about :)

    Tell ALL the stories!

    i think it is unanimous we all want to hear your stories..lmao!!

    This lady I used to work with would come in to my cube, perch one buttcheek on the corner of my desk and just sit there and chat away.

    So, one day, she just rips a monster fart with no warning. Right there on my desk.

    Awkward.

    a high school student that you mentor tells you he made you something in his pottery class. He makes a big deal out of telling you, and your supervisor, that while making this you were the ONLY person that he knew would appreciate it and he was so excited to give it to you. He hands you a shot glass......

    you spill the ice tray down the front of you and a client says, "too bad you're not wearing white today."

    you call a client via phone and realize you are not only calling them the wrong name, but because of the mix-up you've got their gender wrong as well.

    LOL, reminds me, I had just gotten the office job 3 months before, and we had a "Secret Santa" where everyone draws a name and buys a present for that person.... well, the owner of the company happened to get my name. He bought me a set of shooters (the tall shot glasses) and said "I tried to think of what you might like...."

    Still here 4 years later. Pff.

    When I worked in an office when I was 23, the owner was about 70, I was at his desk, and all of the sudden he said "I can see your boobies" I had a button down blouse on and he was looking through the space between the buttons, it made me throw up in my mouth a little.

    You run into the person that you can't stand, and they actually smile when they see you. All I could think was, there must be someone else behind me. So you turn and look and no its just you. THAT person must have been a "alternative substance day."

    when your working at yours desk and have your music playing in your ear buds, and you have to fart. So you pinch it off and let it flow out softly then realize you had your headphones on and your not sure if it was silent or a squeaker or worse...

    I once burst into tears for no good reason in my (male) boss' office. In my defense, my husband was on the tail end of an 8-month overseas deployment and I was stressed to the max, but I was still mortified.

    LOL! LOL! Thank you all for injecting some humor into my day!
    Reminds me of the day I went to use the washroom after someone with a sick stomach used it, and I had to leave without using it, because it was so stank, but she saw me leave immediately....

    ... when you think it's gonna be a quiet one, and it is NOT. The walls reverberate. And they just hired a really hot hispanic girl to work right outside your office.

    ... when its a Friday afternoon and your boss's boss's boss walks past and says hello... as you're filing your nails.


    ... or when the same boss's boss's boss walks past and says "my god, what the hell have you done to your hair?!" OK so it wasnt MY fault that my friend put supposed wash in wash out blue hairspray in my hair which refused to come out of my blonde streaks when I had work the next day...

    I think I might get in trouble if I tell you my stories lol Let's just say: No matter how weird you think your parts might be...we have probably seen worse
    Oh and don't worry about farting during the middle of a pap smear-that has happened multiple times so no big deal!
