What a fun Monday so far. I just volunteered to grab my co-worker coffee at Starbucks since I was going anyway. We have to punch a code in order for our doors to open so I had to stack her coffee on top of mine in order to have a free hand to punch the code and open the door. My supervisor was walking down the hall towards me so I was going to hold the door open for her. Anyway, as I'm punching the code, my coworker's coffee starts wobbling and I had to catch it so it wouldn't fall. Well, a huge geyser of coffee billowed out of the top of her cup, spurted into the air and landed right on the front of my freshly dry cleaned, white dress shirt! How about them apples? I work with 6 women that are all in their 50's and they often refer to themselves as my surrogate mothers so everyone in the office has gotten a good laugh and I've gotten a few suggestions on my coffee carrying techniques. Fortunately, I had an extra shirt in my car. Its not up to dress code here but my boss is cool and allowed me to change. How great would that have been to sit all day in a coffee drenched shirt? So, I'll add this to my most embarrassing moments list.
did you get trapped in an elevator afterwards, become one of the undead, and then have a chick in a red dress kick your buttocks?
No and I can't think of what movie (?) you are referencing. Is that Ed Norton in the picture? I'm lost..
oh c'mon, gus. you lose clutch points for this. not norton. it's some dude from resident evil. good movie.
About 4 months ago, I had a really embarassing moment. I was at work, sitting at my computer, actually working not reading the BBS. I feel like my nose is running, so I reach across my desk to get a kleenex. Well, I wasn't fast enough with the Kleenex, and my nose was not just running. I had blood flowing out of my nose. I got 2 huge drops on my khakis. Anyway, I'm leaning back in my chair, with a glob of kleenex to my face, hoping to stop the bleeding. Once the bleeding stopped, I had to walk across the office to the mens room to wash my hands, since they had dried blood on them. Very disgusting, I know. I sneak into the bathroom and grab some paper towels, wet them clean myself up, except for the reb blobs on the thighs of my pants. I didn't have a spare pair of khakis with me, so the rest of the day, I carried file folders across my legs when I walked around. Bad day, bad day.
damn. i shouldn't have made fun of you, gus. bad karma is a mo'fo. i just fell down the stairs here at work. cut up my knee, cut up one of hands, tore my jeans, and hit my head on the rail. just my leg and hand was bleeding. you know the first thing that you do instead of making sure that you're not hurt is to make sure that nobody saw you. no one did, luckily... except the receptionist heard the fall. oh well.
Oh man.. Sorry to hear that OS.. That's lame.. This one time, at band camp.. Well, ok.. It was the Hastings Marching Band but not camp.. Anyway, we were on our way into our b-ball gym for a pep rally.. As was our tradition, the baritone players (myself included) began running up the bleachers to our spot and I tripped and fell.. My instrument went flying and I felt really stupid because this happened in front of the entire school..
freshman year of high school....inbounding the ball after a made basket by the other team...no one would get open...time ticking...i go to heave a downcourt pass...baseball style pass...ball hits back of backboard and falls back out of bounds. not good.
Speaking of embarrassing basketball moments... 10th grade...Our basket was on the side where the opposing team was sitting. I was basically camping out at the 3 point line along the baseline, right in front of the other teams bench. They were talking all sorts of smack. Im wide open and the pass comes to me. As Im going up for the shot, I just imagine myself draining this 3 and turning to their bench to talk **** right back to them. Well, I go up for the shot and completely choke. I airballed by a solid 15 inches. Their bench exploded with laughter and I was basically their b**** for the rest of the game.
DOD - well.. My more embarrassing moments have dealt with farting in public and bad stuff like that. I guess you are right that this is pretty minor compared to farting in 6th grade gym class while its completely silent or walking around Bonnaroo last year with the ultimate chaffing problem. People must've thought I just got off a horse.. You're definitely right.. This wasn't that embarrassing at all.. Just a bit funny..
OK, just had one. I sit in front of a computer all day at work in a cubicle enviornment. So this morning I'm listening to Metallica's Master of Puppets, volume on about 9 1/2. Just trying to wake up. As I'm turning in my chair, my headphones come unplugged and Battery comes blasting out of my radio full blast! It actually scared the people sitting around me. Keep in mind everyone here thinks I'm the conservative quiet hard worker on the team (yeah, right). Now, everyone thinks I'm some head banging, metal head serial killer or something.
#29) I hate it when people accidentally unplug their headphones and play non-snobbish music really loud at their desk! (sorry.. wrong thread)..
