To have done the most embarrassing thing ever

Happened about an hour ago and I think I’ll need to go home and never come back to the office again

I work with a very very very handsome man. He was on the phone in the office this morning trying to sort out someone to come and fix his boiler.

He happened to say his postcode and me being the creepy wee lady I am put it into maps on my phone to see where he lived Blush

For some reason (and I still don’t know why) my phone blared

STARTING ROUTE FROM current location TO handsome man’s postcode

I was 6 feet away in a quiet office. He turned to look and I couldn’t even look up for wanting the ground to swallow me whole.

How do I come back from this? 😂

Please someone else tell me you’ve done something equally as embarrassing

@GrossToe

This has made my day.

I was once cyber-stalking a bloke I fancied and accidentally set his name as my Facebook update (must have typed it in the wrong box instead of searching). I didn’t realise for HOURS. Still makes me die inside and it was years ago.

I witnessed an unfortunate incident along with about 60 others in the same industry on a TEAMS seminar... it started and everyone had their cameras off whilst the presenter shared their screen. Everyone except the person who was late joining the call...

...on their phone, from their bathroom. Phone propped on the basin whilst they brushed their teeth, dressed in pyjamas, and completely oblivious that they were in the corner of everyone's screen. Fortunately we were spared the rest of their morning ablutions.

Oh tomorrow, in his presence, you're going to have to set Siri to really record what someone is saying and act all embarrassed saying, "Oh it's done it again!" Wink

DrGoogleSaysSo · 08/03/2022 20:39

Hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

Patienceandgrace · 08/03/2022 20:40

First time I have ever laughed out loud at a MN post Grin

@100problems

I'm not sure Antarctica is far enough.

But we will be neighbours because I moved here after biting a male colleague at a party and my front crown broke off on his neck.

What can you do Blush

I was laughing before at the OP, but this 🤣🤣🤣
WouldBeGood · 08/03/2022 20:47

Oh @faceonfire 🤣🤣

PiperPosey · 08/03/2022 20:50

When I was a waitress.. like 22... I was in such a hurry... I gave a guy his receipt to sign for his charge card dinner bill.

He said, " Waitress I need a pen!" I hurriedly went in to my purse and grabbed a pen and ran to next table.
He yelled, " What am I supposed to do with this?"

Everyone turned to stare and he was holding up a tampax!
The room exploded in laughter. [embarrassed] Grin

upperdown · 08/03/2022 21:01

I've not cried with laughter for ages, thanks for these gems!

MeridasMum · 08/03/2022 21:04

It's this that made me laugh most: and me being the creepy wee lady I am

Oh OP, I love you!!!!!! 😂😂😂

faceonfire · 08/03/2022 21:16

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m howling laughing at some of these stories.

The one about “he must be able to smell my my pussy” nearly ended me.

I have visions of handsome Alan going home tonight and telling folk about the woman he Blushworks with who’s a bit unhinged

Oh god this really made me laugh! Not helpful I know, and the kinda thing that happens to me..

You've missed some important information, are you both single? Are we witnessing the beginning of an epic romance?

@LookItsMeAgain

Maybe this is more his style:

@Playplayaway

This was many many years ago but I still cringe. My boss bought his dog into the office briefly one day. The dog was sniffing my shoes and I said 'Oh he can probably smell my pussy' (meaning my cat). I was mortified and made an excuse to leave the room and could barely look him in the eye again. I was young and very easily embarrassed Blush

@RosiePosieDozy

Wow. That's funny Grin I feel for you.

Many years ago, an extremely handsome man approached me in the street and asked for directions to the train station. I was meant to point and say 'over there'. I still to this day do not know why I did this but I pointed in the region of his crotch and shouted 'under there'.

@RosiePosieDozy I nearly woke the baby laughing at that one!

Fantastic thread, OP. Since you missed your chance to style it out, why not lean into it? Do the EXACT same thing tomorrow.

mowly77 · 08/03/2022 21:47

@Blackcatsocks “why would you do this though?”

Haven’t read TWT but I’m sure our numbers are legion. I ALWAYS do this. I’m nosy and I love looking at people’s houses - it’s the OBVIOUS thing to do - especially when those people are very very very handsome.

This is what I need to know! OP, you must update us.

If I were you, my next move would be to scrawl my postcode on a notepad and slide it across his desk at him, wink, and say "it's only fair. Let me know what you think." then strut off.

A few years ago I was getting my eyes tested at the opticians. I was sat in the chair and the optician was sat right in front of my face with the torch holding her finger in front of my eyes saying "look left" "look right" etc whilst she checked my pupils.

She then said to look down, and said what I heard as "just blow on my finger". So I sat there and started blowing on this lady's finger like how you'd blow on a bowl of hot soup. My heart absolutely sank when I realised she hadn't asked me to blow on her finger and had actually said to look "just below my finger". Sitting through the rest of the eye test was absolutely excruciating and it still haunts me to this day.

Amazing. Thank you for sharing.
