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

Become a nun? HTH

That is the funniest thing I've read for a while though...

FreyaFromTheFens · 08/03/2022 13:58

This is amazing! Grin

Dare you to show up at his tonight in a boiler suit with a tool box and bottle of wine Wink

Funniest thing I’ve seen on here in ages!
Laughing and cringing for OP here in equal measure!

Dottdoo · 08/03/2022 14:00

I'd try and style it out (if possible) with - hadnt heard that postcode before so was curious which area it was, as I'm house hunting at the moment or something!

Booboobibles · 08/03/2022 14:03

You’ve made so many people laugh so something great has come of this🙂

Lovethesun100 · 08/03/2022 14:03

Fruedian slip !

Seraphinesupport · 08/03/2022 14:05

that is funny BUT the fact you looked up his home location is really strange to me....

Shehasadiamondinthesky · 08/03/2022 14:05

There is no coming back from this. You'll have to leave and never return lol.

Anjo2011 · 08/03/2022 14:06

Embarrassing for you but very funny read 😂

ringoutthebells · 08/03/2022 14:07

Oh I'm blushing for you! Thanks for sharing though OP, absolute classic! Grin

ColourMeExhausted · 08/03/2022 14:09

Omg, not often I actually laugh out loud but your post made me do so! It's exactly the sort of thing I'd do so am sympathy cringing with you...hope you can just style it out!!

Rachaelrachael · 08/03/2022 14:12

Hahahaha noooooooo!!! I am totally cringing for you!! Thanks for cheering me up today Grin

pinkyredrose · 08/03/2022 14:13

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

Landedonfeet · 08/03/2022 14:13

I usually come on to these threads and just shrug what’s the big deal

You OP… made me properly chuckle

Landedonfeet · 08/03/2022 14:14

I told the world (well my Facebook friends) that I was pregnant but accidentally posting a link to

“Vaginal itching in early pregnancy”

RedCabbageHowMuch · 08/03/2022 14:14

Did you approve of the area tho?
Does his address match his handsomeness??

tempester28 · 08/03/2022 14:17

Blame google!! It is listening to you (and handsome boss)

Chelsea26 · 08/03/2022 14:17

Hilarious OP - I salute you for sharing…

A couple of years ago I was scrolling on tinder, flicking people happily into the ugly bin and I came across a hot guy that I knew from somewhere…

I paused and was thinking “where do I know him from?”, looked at his name. “Derek? I don’t know a Derek but I definitely know him???” Looked through a few more photos and finally recognised him as my son’s teacher!!
Panicked, shouted “Argh - it’s Mr Longbottom!!” and kind of threw my phone away from me and in doing so I SUPERLIKED him.

My son’s school is small (one form entry) - it was bad times…

For those who don’t know, Tinder only lets you know who has liked you if you like them back, or you can pay to see who likes you. Super liking shows up even if you don’t like someone. It’s like saying “HELLO - LOOK AT ME! I’D LIKE TO HAVE YOUR BABIES!” Only 50+ desperate men super like anyone!

Just brilliant! I've never been a smooth operator either. I once accidentally phoned my boss whilst singing and weeing on the toilet and it went to voicemail. Thankfully I didn't fart on that occasion but he did get to hear the flush.

Dying for you, but obviously Siri did this and not you!!!

LethargeMarg · 08/03/2022 14:23

These are all brilliant I am getting serious side eye from the cat laughing out loud

Strawberry33 · 08/03/2022 14:24

This made really laugh so much 😂 too late
To bring it up now I would just laugh it off if he mentions it or flirt a bit and hope
He finds it’s cute or funny 😆

NoSleepNoSleep · 08/03/2022 14:26

This really did make me laugh out loud, thanks for brightening my day! Unless you styled it out immediately with siri I think your moment has passed 🤣 you'll just have to hide under your desk forever now 😆.

Strawberry33 · 08/03/2022 14:27

Please please PLEASE let us know what happens next xxx
