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!0 -
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:0

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.0 -
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.0 -
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:0

Even worse if you think they're talking to you and you answer them!0 -
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...
^this! Or you fart loud and proud 'cause no one is in your office. Only to have someone walk into the stench a few moments later!. Or even worse bend over to pick something up and fart, the WHOLE office hears it and teases you for weeks.0 -
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.
So lets add that to my list of awkward moments at work...:laugh:0 -
walking out after an exceptionally long day in the office to see a co worker in the arms of a woman that ISNT the one he introduced to you as his WIFE a week ago at the company christmas party0

When you hang up the phone or think you hung up the phone and say *f****ing idiot* and realize that you didn't hang up. Then they call you back to confront you and you have to say you were talking to the person beside you. Then that person comes to your workplace the next day to pick up what they called for and sees your the only secretary that works there. Then after meeting them in person you find out he's a bigger *f****ing idiot* than you thought he was when you just knew him over the phone so you don't feel so bad for saying it in the first place.0

I used to work in a tech support center. Cube mate was trading mushy (but work safe) emails all morning with his wife..Hes having a customer reboot and in the lull hes reading one of said emails...Next thing I hear is "i love you....................................NO....NO....NO........ NO SIR.... NOT YOU.... IM SORRY IF THAT MAKES YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE SIR.... IT WAS A MISTAKE SIR.......IM REALLY REALLY REALLY SORRY"
The whole helpdesk stopped to watch him wriggle out of this exchange..0 -
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.
LMBO - I have done something very similar.0 -
