Yesterday afternoon, just before leaving the office, I was leaving a voicemail for a customer asking about payment info as I was simultaneously reading an invoice and my mind just slipped and I told them to send payment to our vendor's address and gave them the vendor's number to call. I only realized it after I hung up the phone and then had to awkwardly call back and correct everything in a follow-up voicemail. Felt like a dumbass.

I walked into my coworkers office this morning and said "the reason I'm calling you..wait...I'm here to tell you....". I walked out and took a breath and walked back in and started over.

Let a silent but stank arse fart go in my office.

It lingered.

2 people walked in before it went away.

You just gotta own it at that point.

Was at work around 630 AM thinking I was the only person at the office. Let us a big fart and yelled "OHHHH YEAAAA" like the koolaid man. Girl in inside sales down the hall yells "You're disgusting!"

Walked into the bathroom to take a diarrhea shite (I was sick) and as soon as I sit down and start shitting someone opens the door.
Needless to say, the shite explosion that happened was very violent. I then hear our warehouse guy say in his thick Alabama accent “my god, I think someone is in there relieving himself.” I walk out and everyone is laughing and trying not to look at me. It was honestly pretty fricking funny.

I handed my phone to a girl at the office to show her a pic of a construction site. She swiped thinking there were more pics of site but it was pics of a lady behaving badly.

I haven't been in the office for a while but a few years back this:

Older/Overweight 50's lady sat in a low top cube by a busy hallway, she shite herself at her desk. I mean full on diarrhea all over the place. I was 3-4 rows over and nearly puked when the smell go to my area.

Then she got up and left a brown trail to the bathroom.

Cleaned herself (I guess)and walked out, never came back.

I popped in to one of my skyscrapers to check on our 20th floor IT department. I happened to walk in right as 3 of my best employees were watching some tawdry program named “Love Island” in lieu of work. I was flabbergasted and immediately relieved them of their duties, only to quickly realize that the 3 imbeciles who replaced them weren’t fit to hoe a row. Needless to say i wiped out my HR department too. Fortunately im pleased to report I’ve brought in a new staff recommended by my associate NIH, including Sanjay Palatesh, the best damn IT guy in Kennebunkport!

Walked in to an 8:30 meeting on Monday after being on vacation for a week only to have a bunch of Senior Leadership tell everyone that they are shutting my plant down.

Guess that was kind of awkward.

When I first started my job I quoted our cost on a big item then realized it a while later and had to make that awkward call after he had already quoted his customer. He was mad to say the least.

Came in to a meeting one morning in which I was to present...and promptly realized I had forgotten my computer at home.

Yeah, that was a real walk of shame down to my car in the parking deck.

Watched a co-worker bitch about her useless position getting cut, that she didn’t want to be overstaffed to another school “more than 10 minutes from the house”, and gleefully bragged about her plans to sue the Principal over the issue (he allegedly “promised” to keep her position)...

to the other coworker who is best friends with the Principal and was at his granddaughter’s christening last weekend.

This^. Just started my new job, coworker took a few month leave with health issues. One of his oldest clients needed to buy Q2 product. I sold it to him. Excitedly texted my coworker explaining how I back to back traded the product for however much margin. I didn’t text my coworker, I texted the customer who bought it. I about walked out of the office for good after just starting a few weeks before
