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

Do you have relatives abroad you could go and live with? Forever.

When people say the most embarrassing thing happened to them it’s not normally something that embarrassing but this reeeeeally is 🤣🤣🤣

@FourTeaFallOut

I mean, I don't know how you come out of this with any dignity. There isn't anything you can say at this point that won't sound like, "Yes, Yes, I am a stalker and everytime you hear the bin rattle, it might just be me".
I actually think you should say this OP. Deadpan.

Grin I want to say it's not that bad and it'll be fine but it is quite bad Grin but it will be fine, although you might find yourself walking up in a cold sweat remembering it in years to come 😂Totally something I would do! At least you made us all laugh!

OnTopOfThePiano · 08/03/2022 13:11

Blame Siri

Then emigrate Grin

theveryhungrycatapillar · 08/03/2022 13:12

Crying laughing at this!!! Grin

mylittleyumyum · 08/03/2022 13:13

Op, I love you - this is the kind of thing I'd do.

In the early days of Facebook (before I had the app) I tried searching up a handsome friend of a friend, except I accidentally made his full name my status and it stayed up all night, and the following day while I was at work.

When I got home and checked my laptop I nearly died on the spot.

Fantastique11 · 08/03/2022 13:17

This is hilarious!
You dont mention if either of you are single...might be your route in finally?! Just checking how convenient dating you would be :)

JeffThePilot · 08/03/2022 13:17

This is awful for you OP but on the other hand it’s genuinely cheered me up, so every cloud.

Handsnotwands · 08/03/2022 13:18

So does his house match his handsome face?

nitsandwormsdodger · 08/03/2022 13:18

Tell him you know good boiler repair man in vague xxx area of work Then have friends phone do what yours did and pipe up get her to say “ sorry dam suri always does that “

Solidarity, OP:

When I was at university, Facebook came out.

One day, I was searching for this guy that lived in my halls. I had such a thing for him because he was so dark and brooding. 🤤

I put his name into FB over and over but every time I hit enter, the page just refreshed and still only showed me my own "wall". So I gave up.

A few hours later, my friend from a few doors down asked me why I had just covered my own FB wall with this guy's name. Over and over and over again as my status.

I realised then that I'd been writing him into my status bar instead of the search bar.

I wanted to die.

@WaterBottle123

Style it out. It's not your fault your phone accidentally had voice dictation on and HE WAS LOUD is it?
God yes do this! You have to. I’ve done even worse than this though. Can’t even tell you it’s so hideous.
Tigofigo · 08/03/2022 13:19

This is bloody hilarious

Is he single? Are you?

Where does he live

GodspeedJune · 08/03/2022 13:20

Gosh this is awful for you but hilarious. I don’t think you should say anything now, it just draws more attention to it.

Totally. I’ve done worse though. But this is pretty much up there with mine.
Tigofigo · 08/03/2022 13:21

I once set up a fake email address to send a mystery admirer email to my crush (wtf was I thinking)

Except I had managed to set the name it appeared "from"... As my actual name

Still cringe now.

God I am dying for you. Could you just say something like “oops sorry! Siri trying to be extra helpful today”. My Apple Watch is always going off at the most random things.

Idroppedthescrewinthetuna · 08/03/2022 13:25

I just dropped my phone I laughed so much! So worth it though! 😂😂😂
