I went into the office for the first time in a while. It was quite stressful being there, and I had a very full day back to back in video meetings. I was also on my period, which I thought was tailing off at lunchtime. On my way home, gone 6, I bumped into a senior colleague, who I don't know well, in the kitchen area who was sharing a glass of wine with one other, both ladies. They invited me to stay for a drink and being considerably socially deprived of late and flattered I accepted - completely forgetting I'd been on the way to the bathroom on my way home. After 1.5hrs sat on a white hard kitchen chair I get up to go, a little tipsy (not been drinking in lockdown) and walking quickly away I realise I'm leaking. I'm wearing black jeans (thank god) but I'm already out of the room before I realise that I'm actually leaking enough that I realise I've just got off a white chair!! 😱
I didn't look before I walked out, what if I had left a mark!! I've only spoken to the senior manager 3 times ever, all online, and one of those was a job interview.
Please share your horrifying experiences to make me feel better! I'm going with the assume no mark was left, head in the sand and hope for the best 😬

Oh gosh, poor you OP.
Honestly, if they're half decent they'll feel a moment of sympathy then put it out of their minds.
I won't be sharing any of my horror stories, I'm too nervous they'll end up being published or similar!

Please try not to worry, if there was a mark it is unlikely they will notice or work out what it is (in my workplace a white chair would already have quite a few tea/coffee stains on it!)

Even if they did notice they would almost certainly feel sympathy.

That happened to a colleague of mine. Room full of men and 3 women.

The remaining woman looked at me and pointedly at the chair, I was nearest. I swallowed a giggle and casually dropped a folder onto it. Then waited to be last out to clean it.

The woman who had left mentioned it to A N Other woman later that week and we managed to get a reassuring message passed back along the grapevine!

So don't worry. Nobody will scream or die! Somene will quietly deal with it, should there be anything to deal with.
