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

Nòoooooooooooooooo...Blush sorry but that is hysterical. I'm dying for you...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I once had a customer who had worked on some Nightmare On Elm Street movies. So once he’d told me I googled him. I then forgot that I’d googled him and gave him my laptop to do something on. So he was met with a Wikipedia page about himself

I just died a little. I couldn’t go back to work. Nope! It would be the JSA life for me.

I've seen this on tik tok today. Someone must have shared it there. Just a heads up if your worried out being identified OP.

@faceonfire

I also have another (kind of) embarrassing Facebook related story.

Years ago I clicked on a Facebook game thing about test your IQ. I did half the test and got bored. It posted to my wall that my IQ was about 67 🤣🤣🤣🤣

And, like many posters, it stayed like that all night. There were a few comments….

I want to be your friend OP, that's hilarious!

@HaggisBurger

I’m just glad Hot Alan isn’t really called Alan…
On a positive note, I am in a relationship with an Alan who I think is pretty hot.

Maybe he is the exception Grin

I've seen this on tik tok! One of the accounts that highlights funny stories.

Back in the days when I was an executive PA in a long distance relationship with a delightful young man (he's now a delightful old man and he's sat about two feet away from me hahaha) we used to email each other saucy emails.

Anyway, one day my boss says to me "can you just print me off that email with the agenda for this meeting?"
Reader, I did not print the agenda. And it went on for pages, and pages, and pages, of filth. And I could not stop it, short of ripping the plug out of the wall. It was about 30 pages of smut, and he came out of his office and put it on my desk and in the gentlest manner possible he said, "Don't print things like that out at work."

I still die a little bit when I think about that.

@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
My friend got a new cat and her elderly neighbour shouted across the street “how’s your pussy???”

@NuclearBunker

When I was in college, I sent a really suggestive text to my boyfriend about watching him work (in the local phone shop) and what I would like to do to him. He didn't respond and I was offended thinking he hadn't saved my number in his new phone. We'd both got new ones at the same time, all trendy with polyphonic ringtones and I had carefully copied all my numbers over and was miffed he'd not done the same so resolved not to text him until he texted me.

Later that evening, a withheld number rang me. It was my balding, creepy tutor called Pete and he was even creepier than usual, talking to me about going out for a glass of wine and some olives, just the two of us, casually "on the down low" and I could talk a bit more about my ideas. I was perplexed because I was confident I hadn't discussed my upcoming project with him. He chuckled and said "not properly no, but I know what you want, don't I?" Horrified realisation dawned. I had not actually copied the numbers accurately and had sent the sexy text to creepy Pete. I had also mixed up one of my friends and my auntie, which confused them both when one got a request for a caramel shortbread recipe and the other an anecdote about how sick I'd been after clubbing. But anyway! Creepy Pete!! I said "oh my god!" And I ended the call. He took this to mean that I was shy and embarrassed by my boldness and so he spent the next term winking at me and leaving me things like a packet of rolos or single sprigs of lavender on the edge of my table while I cringed and blushed and probably made him think he was the hottest pervert in the whole college.

Oh man. Sorry for enjoying this as much as I do. What a CREEP.
Mollymoostoo · 09/03/2022 21:20

On a teams call to whole staff team (80+) when asked a question. I had just started eating and asked then to come back to me. I then said 'it's okay I have finished what was in my mouth so I can speak now'. Mortified I corrected this to be I had finished eating....still got texts from friends telling me what a dirty gal I am. Cringe.

Tiddlesthecat · 09/03/2022 21:28

I'm laughing so much at you IQ of 67!! That's made me laugh all over again! You really have given me a good laugh. And I've needed it. So thank you!

Lilybow · 09/03/2022 21:30

Oh OP this made me belly laugh.

If it makes you feel any better, once I was being really nosy and searching through someone's photos, and accidentally shared one of their random photos of them on FB from 5 years ago to my profile page.

I was mortified.

whatdodos · 09/03/2022 21:38

OP you're tiktok famous now 😂

Letsbekindplease · 09/03/2022 21:45

RedPinkRose · 09/03/2022 21:52

Thanks for making me smile. Smile

@LaughingCat did you get the job though????

Imabitbusyatthemoment · 09/03/2022 22:22

@DixonD

My sister Facebook stalked our sister-in-law and of course typed her name into her status bar instead of the search bar!

SIL commented “Yes?” 🤣

I’m actually crying now.

Yes? 🤣
