Most embarrassing moment at work

[HeidiBoo1984]

I love embarrassing moment threads and I'm always embarrassing myself beyond belief at work.

I have endometriosis and it often sends my bowels wild. Our office toilets are basically just within the office, rooms rather than cubicles, and our office, which is more or less open plan with about 8 of us, it's a quiet environment so you can hear everything. Anyway, I've many a time been to the toilet for just a wee and then unexpectedly farted really loudly. I die inside and consider just getting my coat and going home! No one ever says anything, but they must hear!

Does anyone else have any embarrassing stories at work?

A person in the same building as ours brought their new puppy to work withthem. I stopped in the corridor to talk to them and the dog did a wee on my jeans!! 😂

I really belly laughed at the drooling @Tighnabruaich

Can I say with huge shame (I’m sure that my ex boss is not on here but if she is I’m still sorry) that mine was being caught shagging my bosses son at work . Not caught in the act but I think she may have heard or been told by someone else

He and I used to work alone together a lot and he was good looking (player) and younger than me. I was going through a messy break up and our flirting got a bit OTT over months and months.

She waited until we were alone together about 4 weeks later to tell me with the scariest voice/eyes ever that she knew what we did. Looking at someone’s mother - your boss in the eye after she knows you slept with her son at work was mortifying.

I was assisting an 80 something chap with his trousers after his wash and as I squatted down my trousers made the delightful, heart sinking sound of ripping, he had dementia and was extremely delirious but hilariously said “oh dear, that didn’t sound too good”. I finished what I was doing and then scurried off to the toilet to find how ripped they were (about a foot from front to back!) Luckily I was able to order scrubs from the help desk and sat at the nurses station wishing for the emergency bell not to go off while I waited for them to be delivered to the ward 🤦🏼‍♀️.

I have a few funny stories. One was when I worked in a private hospital in my 20s and liked to wear coloured underwear. I had a royal blue dress for uniform so was fine to wear an orange bra underneath. Anyway, was walking back from lunch to the ward when one of the surgeons tapped me on the shoulder and handed me an orange pad that must have come free from the bra. He said, "I believe this is yours", I was so embarrassed!

Another was when on another ward I worked in and we were a bit quieter one day. So we were chatting and having a break. Another colleague tried on a spare wig that was lying through in the treatment room. Another colleague decided to use it as a pubic wig and we spoke about it being an innovation and we should start a business and sell them. This colleague was parading up and down with it hanging out of her trousers and one of the consultants came in and cleared his throat, picked up a pile of xrays and walked away with a blank expression. After he'd left the ward we just collapsed laughing!

Another one I just thought of was one night a guy came up to the desk during visiting asking to see Jock McClue. We didn't have anyone of that name and the auxiliary nurse on with me asked him if he was sure it was our ward he was looking for and was about to phone round. He was getting exasperated and kept talking about Jock McClue. Then he said it slowly, "I'M HERE FOR THE BLOCKED LOO...TOILET!?"
We felt really embarrassed and apologised but laughed about that for years after.

I used to teach at a private boys' high school. One day I stayed late to do a revision class with a small group of pupils. I badly needed to fart mid lesson, to the extent that my tummy was hurting.
So I left the room, popped into the empty classroom next door, and let rip.
When I returned to my group, they were doubled over their desks, CRYING with laughter. Not only had they heard everything (curse those thin walls), but in returning to my classroom too soon, I effectively wafted the stench back in with me.
Do you know though, those boys never told a soul outside of that room. Proper gents they were

I had horrible bosses (my hubby knew them for years before I worked for them and disliked them immensely). Anyway one lunchtime he called the office (no personal calls btw) and on getting an answer asked “are the morons in?” Unfortunately it was my female boss who had answered the call . Even more unfortunately she recognised his voice. It wasn’t a great atmosphere for the remaining time I worked there 😂😂😂

[Butttons]

These are sooo funny!

I was having a conversation with my MD about how old and clunky my laptop was. He said that he had a small lightweight one, to which I immediately replied "I bet you don't hear that very often"

‘There's something easier to prevent the blockage - PFWF (Poo, flush, wipe, flush). It's not the poo but the paper.’

If you think that’s true then you’ve never seen my son’s ginormous rubbery shits. These things can be up to a foot long and we have a broom handle to break them up! There’s no loo paper I can assure you.

[speakout]

I gave a presentation for work at a prestiguious University to a group involving three professors- heads of departments.
When I finished my business colleague whispeed in my ear " you have the back of your skirt tucked in your knickers"

Oh dear.

Two spring to mind. I’m not counting drunk ones, because I work in a boozy industry where nearly everyone is so drunk they won’t recall it any better than me.

1. walking down a huge marble staircase with my senior manager, carrying a coffee and my briefcase. I tripped, slammed into him, poured fortunately cold ish coffee down his back, flashed my pants and we both wound up in a heap of spilled paperwork with one of my legs inexplicably over his shoulder and his head in the groin.
   
   In between laughing, trying not to cry at the bruises which immediately blossomed, I thought i was dying. Minutes later when I realised 200 people were in the foyer below to witness, I wished I was.
   
   
2. we were staying in a hotel, which is situation normal. Tight on time following a breakfast meeting I asked a senior colleague to pop back to my room and I’d get some documentation for him. So far, this is normal.
   
   What’s not normal, is he got a eyelash caught so I invited him to pop into my bathroom to use the mirror and light. And I forgot the plethora of mooncup, make
   Up, durex, a vibrator and some vaginal silicone balls that were merrily on display in my unzipped toiletries bag.
   
   
   He never said a word. I never said a word.

HotChocolateLover, crickey
He must never poop at his friends' home

Just remembered another farty one.

I was sat in the open plan office with music playing really loud, so I absent-mindedly just let a massive fart go and felt it rattle out of me. I was shocked at how big the fart turned out to be and I hoped to god it didn’t stink. After a few seconds I was relieved that it was just mostly air.

Then I went cold with the horrific realisation that I was hearing loud music on my HEADPHONES and every single person in the huge office would have heard my arse.

As a new police officer, in the 1980s, we went to a 'suspects on', possibly burglars in a basement flat. The top half of the window was open and I was skinny and agile then. 'My turn' I said to the area car driver. Climbed in, searched the flat, no burglars or items obliviously stolen. Left a note for the owners. Flat had a dead lock so had to climb out through the same window. Skirt lining got caught between my legs, on the latch, as I was coming out.
I was now trapped somehow with both legs out and torso somehow in. Don't ask me how?? Driver had to get between my legs and rip the skirt lining to get me out. Like a scene from Carry-on Constable. Thank goodness for 21st Century police uniform!

Not mine exactly, but I recently projected a carefully prepared map of a site onto a screen for the benefit of those needing to navigate it. Unfortunately, the site included a swimming pool which was gloriously mislabelled as POO. The room gradually erupted into giggles as people spotted it.

I went out with work colleagues for a celebration. Some of the managers came.
Because of the occasion ( a leaving do) we had a big blow up man. Not a really rude on, one in underpants and glasses and a moustache.
We had a lovely meal and the man was floating around with the balloons .
Some of us were a bit tipsy. One of us pulled down balloon man and had a look at him so we were all giving him funny names.
One who was tipsier offered a name, say, John 'Because she says he looks like John Smith with that moustache and the glasses!' Silence fell.
She had forgotten he was actually there at the table.( a manager)
'Actually I don't find that funny.' he said.He got quite angry.
It was a bit tense after that.

We had a huge, huge roll of bubble wrap delivered. For some reason I decided to “ride” it down the corridor. The friction then caused all of the seams of my cheapo new look trousers to some how discintergrate. Stood up and the whole inner leg (both side) had come undone and My knickers and thighs clearly on view with my trousers flapping around. In front of senior partner and directors. I was fairly senior management at the time. Hard for anyone to know what to say really...

Also once stood up from meeting with partner and period had leaked on to white leather chair. Same company.

I was sat on reception at a prestigious city centre solicitors...and (showing off to my colleague) did an almighty trump......and followed through.
My colleague had to go to C&A and buy me some new pants.🤭

I once got locked in the loo at work.I banged on the door for ages but no one was around so I had to use my mobile and ring the office to explain to a manager I was stuck 😳

[Chocolateisfab]

Once got locked in a bathroom at a customer's house (cleaner). Luckily I had my phone. Had to ring my ds who worked local as a window cleaner, he brought a ladder and a screwdriver and had to dismantle the broken lock.
Not sure why I even locked the door when the house was empty!!
Also had a magazine and a drink with me so not all bad!

[ilovepixie]

Today at work. I work in a shop and tripped over a box and went arse over tit in front of everyone!
Also got locked in the freezer at work and luckily had my mobile with me so could phone someone to come and rescue me!

[SecretWitch]

I cannot stop laughing at “Dad, Dad, excuse me, DAD?”....😂

Place marking ... these are hilarious!

A few years ago, I was a community stop smoking advisor. I got around on a motorbike, cos I didn't drive. It could be horrible in bad weather.
One afternoon I arrived at a health centre, where I was due to do a group session. The receptionist, Sandra, told me that a woman had arrived early, which I wasn't bargaining for, as I had to get my helmet,waterproofs, gloves etc off and set up the room. Helmet in hand, I went into the room, where, I'll call her Ruth, was, looking down in the dumps.
She had relapsed to smoking on the previous week, and, at the time, service users were only allowed one attempt in any 6 months. She basically begged to be given another chance, which was a bit awkward, but I felt so sorry for her, I said I'd think of a way around it, she looked so disappointed. As I removed my waterproof over trousers, her expression changed,and her eyes widened. "Jim..I think you need to sort yourself out..." I followed her gaze, and much to my horror, my zip was undone after a hurried trip to the loo. Not only that, but my knob was peeping out. I was mortified, but somehow managed to regain my composure, after apologising.
I ensured that I told Sandra what had happened, in case of any comeback, but I didn't tell my manager, in case I had to go through the humiliation of filling out an incident form.
A few months later, I was doing a public health promotion in a shopping centre. Much to my astonishment, Ruth approached our stand, and told me that she had stayed stopped smoking, and proved it by blowing into our carbon monoxide monitor.
