I worked at Lowe's during my time in college and would occasionally have to be a delivery driver for smaller installations if the delivery drivers were slammed.
The store manager of the Lowe's in Athens just bought a house for his son to go to school and is bitching that they haven't installed the washer and dryer they purchased from us yet, so my buddy and I have to load up the washer and dryer and deliver it in my personal truck and install the thing.
We get everything unloaded and notice that they had purchased a 4 prong outlet plug, and the outlet called for a 3 pronged plug so we had to run back to the store to swap it out. Never could get the son to answer his phone even though he was in the house so we left a note that we would be back in about 20 minutes to finish up the installation. We get back to the house and ring the doorbell to announce we were back but no one would come to the door, so we just let our selves in the door we had left out of to resume the installation.
We get everything finished up and I am calling the guys phone so he can sign the delivery ticket since I am not a big fan of wandering around peoples houses, but he won't answer. This house was built in the 1900's so the kitchen and the laundry room are separated from the main living areas. Finally I just started walking through the house to find the guy and come into the living room and the dude is sitting there with headphones on floggin the dolphin on the couch watching his laptop. I am not sure if he saw me but I said frick the signature and high tailed it out of there. My manager asked why there was no signature on the delivery ticket so I had to explain this to him. He wanted me to go back over and get the signature but I respectfully declined.

I was very rude to the Australian Foreign Minister and hung the phone up on him. I didn't know who it was and when my boss asked me about it the next day I thought my arse was fired but he just laughed about it and he kind of had a new-found respect for me after that. I guess he didn't like the Foreign Minister very much.

Used a racist term containing the word " jungle" in 5th grade in front of my favorite teacher who was black . She asked me to repeat which I cheerfully did, not knowing it was a slur. She gave me a hug , because she knew I had a pure heart and explained it to me. I felt two inches tall and spent the next year trying to make it up to her . Thank you Mrs Barbara Polk , River Oaks Elementary School, circa 1976 for your wisdom and compassion for this little punk.

Two stories that didn't occur to me thankfully:
Kid from Oklahoma who had never seen a black person goes to Kansas City with his father. The black bellhop comes up and the kid says "Yogi Bear, Yogi Bear."
A lawyer friend was in an elevator (as a kid with his mom) when a nun gets on. and he looks up and shouts "Mom, look, a witch."

I'm 21 at the time. I have my gf over in the middle of the day. Music is on pretty loud, I'm head deep into a "69" when all-of-the-sudden I hear a very loud bang. Mind you, my music is still at a pretty loud volume when I hear this bang. I throw my gf off of me and walk out of my room. And I see the chain lock moving on the side of the front door(apartment building). Now is when the panic sets in. I run back into my room tell the gf to get dressed, as I am frantically dressing myself. Music has been turned off and I hear a buzz (intercom system). I say "hello?", the sound I hear back still haunts me to this day, "CHIEFAGAIN I'M COMING UP!" My heart drops along with my jaw. As my mom walks in with my niece my gf and I are trying to act as normal as possible. We start walking to the front door, greetings are said to my mom and just about as I fully shut the door my mom says, "chiefagain I have to talk to you". Its at this moment that I realize what she is about to say. I can't even look her in the eye as my head is down in shame. I close the door and tell my gf that I will be down in a minute. I'm standing there waiting for what mama bear is about to say leaning on the halfway opened door. "Close the door" my mother says, " Chiefagain, I want you to know I saw everything", "everything?" i reply in a non understanding tone, "everything" my mother replies. Now for those of you that have never been caught by your parent(s) fully unclothed and head deep into a "69" with your gf, it's pretty hard, practically impossible to come up with an excuse to what you were doing. Scrabblimg my brain for some sort of coherent sentence to utter in response to the bombshell my mother just laid on me, I look up and simply say, "well at least you know I'm not gay". Left right after that without another word said.

posted this in a similar thread a while back:
I was in an elevator with my brother at his apartment building in Atlanta about 7 years ago. We were going up to the 7th floor from the lower level garage. There were 2 others on the elevator with us at this point. As we were going up, the elevator stops, and an older black man carrying three watermelons gets on.
Deciding that this was a fantastic opportunity to reinforce a hilarious stereotype, I pull out my flip phone to discretely take a picture.
Thinking my flash was turned off, I snap the pic. Not only was the flash not off, neither was the "crr-chik" sound that phones used to loudly make. The entire elevator is illuminated, and it is obvious to everyone that I just took a pic of this poor man, likely because I'm a racist POS.
The black man just shakes his head as I try to pretend it went off accidentally. No one bought it. They know what I did.
that's awesome. Elevators in general are awkward. Unless you're drunk

After high school, I worked in an acetylene plant with 2 older guys. Our building was separate from the rest of the plant, yet we had a view of people entering or leaving the main plant and we were constantly making crude remarks about visitors to each other.
One day, I stepped outside and saw this butt ugly woman walking toward the acetylene room and I stepped back in and began my rather colorful commentary on the wretched, disgusting, overweight female dog that was approaching. I was being very descriptive as to just how ugly this woman was. My co-workers came to the door to see just how bad it was.
One of them saw her and looked at me and, "Man, that's my wife".

Mrs Larson was married when we first started seeing each other so we always had to find discrete places to go do our thing. I had found this remote cemetery one year when I was out scouting a new place to hunt so this place became one of our go to spots.
There was a dirt road that went around the whole perimeter of the place and we would always go park in the back corner and go at it. Well, one day she is on top going to town and I happen to lean my head up and look out the windshield and there is a truck parked right in front of her van with 2 guys just sitting there watching us go at it. I calmly tell her that someone is watching us and she freaks out and starts putting her clothes back on and those guys just start backing up the truck and pull off.

My dog likes to seek out and destroy our underwear and pants if they aren't put straight into the washer. He got ahold of my slacks and chewed a hole in the crotch. They got washed and put away without this being noticed. When I got dressed for work in a hurry I put on the holey slacks and didn't notice until I was halfway down the causeway.
I had to wake up my boss, who lives by our store, to beg her to meet me in the parking lot with some of her pants so I wouldn't be late. We still laugh about how she covered my arse that day.

When I was a freshman in college, I was attempting to throw my keys up to a friend on the second floor of the dorms, but I threw too high and they landed on the roof. The guy that watched over the dorms used a fishing poll to snatch my keys and real them back to the ground.
Also, I was sitting in bed studying before class one morning and I heard a loud knock on my window. I did not respond. When I walked out, there was an old man banging on the emergency fire exit door telling me to let him in. I told him it was against the rules. Then, I realized it was the president of the college.
