    That awkward moment at work when............

    .......you think you're in the office alone, and a good song comes on the radio, and you start singing out loud (really loud), and then realize that someone is there, smirking at you.

    .......or you have a boss that just cannot control his icky habits, like picking at his ear with a paper clip and then putting said clip ON YOUR DESK.

    .......or when you're talking kinda "not nice" about someone, and they sneak up behind you and HEAR you, and you have to either apologize or pretend you were talking about someone else.

    When you let a fart rip as you walk down the stairwell assuming you're alone, it comes out louder MUCH louder than you expected and you hear someone at the top of the stairwell snort and laugh... :embarassed:

    I walked into our breakroom after work one day to use the phone. A bunch of ladies were sitting at one of the table and one of them asked me If I was there for the weight watchers meeting... I said nope, I was there to order a pizza to pick up on the way home. That could have turned into a lynch mob real quick....

    You scare the employee that just returned from 6 weeks off due to a heart attack.

    I'm sorry, but that one made me giggle. I'm a bad person :embarassed:

    kinda like mine... but:
    you think it's ok to let out a big toot / #2 in the bathroom because no one is in there and all of a sudden you hear the toilet paper roll move in one of the stalls.

    When I am multi-tasking - typing a note to my husband and talking to a client at the same time. I told the client I looked forward to sleeping with him soon.

    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!

    Nice juxtaposition :huh:

    It's true, I'm getting as bad as them.

    That right there is hilarious.

    And also why I don't sit on any of the furniture in the break room or the powder room.

    That awkward moment at work when you're trying to help your patient to the bathroom, and they squeeze your butt or grab your boob "accidentally"...

    I work for a fastener distributor (nuts & bolts) I was obtaining a quote for a customer on a large diameter nut. I called the customer and without thinking told him I found his nuts.

    When you're taking your turn in the needle exchange and:
    - a sex worker comes in for condoms and spends 5 miuntes discussing with you which flavours are "not bad" and which ones are "minging" (her words, and if you're curious avoid chocolate, vanilla and banana but strawberry, blueberry and mint are ok)

    -you discuss harm reduction techniques for injecting with a newbie including Up Yer Bum and have to demonstrate the best postions to reach

    I could list hundreds. With my job awkwardness flies out the window and I love it all the more because of it!

    That awkward moment at work when you click on "reply to all" and realise you have emailed the immortal words "Piss off you weirdo" to 125 people including four managing directors.:embarassed:

    That awkward moment when:

    you get groped by your bosses wife she 60+ and your 22!

    You scratch your bosses pride and joy £120k sportscar...'cause he's too damn lazy to move it himself (not me, my pal)

    You get introduced to your bosses family and realise that his elegant,charming wife was the boozed up semi dressed mess you picked up, cleaned up and put to bed at the Co function.

    Mine - someone comes to the door at 2pm and you are still in your PJs. Trying to explain to them you work for yourself at home just makes it worse.

    My friend Laura's - The day she walked in to a maternity room to remove a catheter (she's a midwife) and found me there waiting for her. My day didn't get better from that point onwards.

    When you are walking down the hall on your way to class and you take one last sip of water before walking in the door...only to pour it down your front. Now you have to go stand in front of the room with a big wet spot on your b00b. :grumble:

    Even worse if you think they're talking to you and you answer them!
