That Awkward Moment at Work When....

when you bend over and your pants split at work (sadly this has happened more than once over the years)

one of the technicians comes in for a key and you can't talk because you may have a slight crush on him
every week




He's from New York and has THAT accent....

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

That's ok...I bet you smell better than they do.

My boss said I did, so it must be true.

THIS JUST HAPPENED TO ME... you are wiping your salad container clean with your finger and licking it off (cuz ya didn't eat breakfast), when all of a sudden your boss comes out, but you don't notice him so you just keep doing it until you do notice and slowly take the finger out of your mouth and smile awkwardly as he gives you the *wtf are you doing* look. THEN you go into the bathroom and realize you have a HUGE piece of lettuce in your tooth. FML

...you walk into work and notice everyone is staring at your chest and realize there is a big white spot on your black shirt...from toothpaste. N. :noway:

I was standing in the office of one of my male co-workers, securely blocked by his computer monitor. Our boss walks in and starts having a conversation with him, they were both looking at each other, deep in their conversation, so I took the opportunity to make, shall we say, an adjustment to my bra. What the heck, they weren't looking, and I was well hidden behind the monitor, so I start to make the adjustments and both of them looked right at me, and one asks, "Do you need some help? I'd be happy to volunteer to hold them up." Yep, don't adjust your bra or fix a wedgie in front of a department consisting of men.

I am a nurse..... there isn't a shift that goes by without an awkward moment..... the best so far...

"Sir it's important for you to have the raised toliet seat because of ur hip"

" No No I don't want that contraption" (old people especially men don't like "new" things)

"Sir you are really going to want that on there...."
"ya ya I heard you .... it's for my hip I don't care"

"Sir its not only for ur hip, its so ur balls don't float in the toliet bowl water"
"So how do I sit on this?"

This has to be the best, I cant stop laughing!!

Oh, oh, I have one! It didn't happen to me, but to one of the men who taught in the lecture hall I used to use. I was warned to be sure and not mike up for lecture until I was actually ready to start because....

Once upon a time, one of the male faculty members miked up, turned the microphone on, and then realized he had to hit the restroom. Apparently the wireless mike can be picked up from the mens room across the hallway from the lecture hall. :noway:

My office has movable internal walls, my ex-next office neighbor had very colorful convos with his mom & girl friends. His mom was traditional Jewish and his dates were..... not. He cursed & yelled and gave every detail of his dates to friends. It was better than Footballer's Wives!

...your office-ex overhears a vagrant collaborator ask to 'see the sights' of the town, then says 'i think you've got a date' as you're walking down the hall together.

...your office-ex starts dating the new girl, and you realise you have to work with her too, so therefore you have to meet them BOTH for a casual coffee so as to ensure that she feels comfortable and not threatened in her new workplace.

If you can't handle this level of weird and awkward, don't date in the workplace. I admit that when I decided to date this guy it was with the understanding that we were to maintain a good working relationship, but I had not considered that 2 years later we'd both still be in the same place and he would consider it totally appropriate to date someone else from the lab! I had lunch with the happy couple yesterday while they talked about their wedding plans.
