That Awkward Moment at Work When....

... when a coworker you don't usually get to talk to comes in for help with some paperwork, converses a bit, and as you're helping her get paperwork ready and putting it in the appropriate envelope to be mailed off, you lick said envelope to seal it, and when you pull away, get a long gross spit-string. They say nothing, but you feel like a gross slob.

... your turn.

    The boss tells me I smell nice today.

    The old dirty *kitten* keep trying to see down my shirt while I'm at my desk.

    The hot guy your friend's friend dated walks in and you remember the topic of his endowment...Lord, it's hard not to look!

    You're busy mopping up the water you spilled while taking a drink and a customer walks in while you're working on your boob. *sigh*

    I keep getting asked if I have a "nooner" because I'm wearing a skirt.

    When you're talking to your coworker, and their phone starts ringing, and you automatically look down to check who it is..... and then realize you're looking at THEIR phone, and they see you do this, and now you seem nosey when in reality you don't care who's calling them IT WAS JUST AUTOMATIC but if you try to tell them that you seem weird.... AGH

    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 :)

    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.

    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.

    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.
