To have done the most embarrassing thing ever

[faceonfire]

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

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

Right you just need to turn up at his house tonight in overalls with a spanner and try to fix his boiler

Presumably OPs not been back on as she’s been resigning and moving counties 😉

Oh my gawd op I’ve blushed for you!!!!!

@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

Jesus Christ, sorry @play but you wouldn’t need to be ‘easily embarrassed’ to be embarrassed by this 🤣😂

Oh god i'm cringing for you! This remind me of the time I was face booking stalking someone (a single Dad from DS football club!) and instead of typing their name into search, I typed it as my status update!! It was there a few minutes before I realised and deleted it. God knows who saw it. Quite a few of my Facebook friends know him.

Oh my god I'm cringing so hard for you get home and have a nice wine and try and forget about it haha. That is so funny though. Thank you for making me laugh

He will see through all the attempts at hiding it when he sees the story in the Daily Fail!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I'm sitting here in my car in a busy town parked up and reading this, I'm laughing so hard,brilliant just brilliant

@Playplayaway

Such a great thread. Now I've got 'Itchy fanny how we don't talk anymore' going around in my head

Sorry. It's been in my head for around 16 years, now.

I think I'd have to be on the next flight ✈️ out if town never to return

Hello everyone!

Sorry I was continuing to keep my head in the sand.

So at lunch I took the advice of a very clever poster and said “omg Alan (not real name). My phone picked up your voice earlier and it seemed to do something really weird to my phone!!”

He gave me one of those smiles and nods whereby I know that he thinks I’m the creepy stalker that I clearly am.

I am mortified but I haven’t managed to find a new job in the past few hours so I’ll need to go back 🤣

Can I just say as well that it’s totally made my day that it’s made so many of you laugh 😂😂👍🏻👍🏻

I needed that laugh today.... Sorry....

Oh no, poor you!

@MrsHumphrieswife

He'll be sitting at home tonight wondering if you are going to turn up at his house, OP.

Imagine for a second that the situation was reversed though.

"I was making a call at work which involved stating my post-code. It was immediately obvious that my (male) colleague had copied this into his phone and was looking up how to get to my house. I am now too scared to go home"

I think the replies would be very different.

I'm not saying that this isn't a funny anecdote OP - it is.

But if it was a man who had done this it would inevitably be painted in a very different light.

Hahaha. Brilliant.

I'd also have gone with the 'Siri must've heard you lol' line

You should have just said sorry only being nosey, just wanted to see what a lovely house you have. X

This is amazing 😂

Thanks for making me laugh.

Only thing for it now is to go around with a clipboard and pencil asking everyone in the office for their postcode, because you are working on the office car sharing initiative!

I went up to Rory McGrath in the street and said 'Hello,' and waved enthusiastically in his face. He looked really baffled and taken aback and it was only then that I realised I didn't know him, I just recognised him off the TV.

It's rare that I shake (read: jiggle) with laughter at a post on Mumsnet but this is so funny OP!

Brilliant

Agree if the genders were reversed you’d be in a HR meeting right now - not laughing about it online. It is funny… but also a huge invasion of privacy.

well one time i.........nope, I have got nothing but thank you for brightening my day :)

@Ifeelgoodgoodgood

I said on page 1 that OP has got away with it because she's a woman!

Yes you did.

I think it got lost in the general hilarity!

@MyAnacondaMight - yep, and the reports to the police, advice on dealing with stalkers, Ring doorbells etc etc.

I don’t think it’s an HR offence to Google someone’s postcode. Stop it, please.
