to share the embarrassing thing someone did today...

[ChampagneTastes]

I really want to tell the world but it'd be terribly unprofessional so I'll do it anonymously because that is obviously fine.

I texted a male colleague (actually I sort of manage him) earlier about a work thing. I got a reasonable and measured response.

Then I received another text from him referring to his "burning hunk of love".

The worst thing is that when I got it, I immediately showed it to my DH whose INSTANT reaction was "well it was obviously meant for someone else". I am taking a little bit of offence at that actually. The colleague did then text with a grovelling apology because it was actually meant for his wife. I am tempted to torment him about this for some time but that would be wrong wouldn't it? Wouldn't it?

I was going to say what Werewolf just did.

Easily done.

On a slightly more serious note, I would suggest to be cautious taking the piss in the workplace about it. He made an innocent mistake and it wouldn't be fair really to humiliate him further, especially as you are his superior at work. I wouldn't even mention it actually unless he does.

Woollytights I really won't, honestly. It would just be mean apart from anything else and he is a nice chap. But I am allowing myself this little indulgence because... well it IS quite funny.

Can I clarify, his penis is the burning hunk of love? That is throwing up some strange visuals for me...

Defo direct him to the burn gel

Oh he must be dying inside! That's cheered me up no end

Ide buy a small pot of sudacream and put in on his desk to find in the morning

get some leaflets for the STD clinic and leave them on his desk!

Yes to getting him some sudacream, leave a note ''this will help with the burning''.

Made me think of Kings of Leon Sex on Fire and Michael McIntyre

Haha I would just find it funny that anyone actually said something like that, hope it was tongue in cheek!!
