One time the big-boobed babe at work just walked over and sat in my lap, put an arm around me, closed her eyes and sighed ... and nothing ... just did that for a about a minute then got up and went back to work ...

I kind of liked it ...

At the last company I was at we had a guy who thought he was going to fart and shit his pants. It was hilarious as he would always whip up a fart whenever he wanted to and think it was funny. Needless to say it was the last time he did it.

Dad told me a story of a time he went to a meeting with someone. The seafood salad his friend ate had gone bad. He didn't make it to the bathroom. He went to the bathroom to clean himself up (at the client site). Someone walked in as he had no pants on and was stuffing his dirty pants into the garbage. He went to the meeting and the manager was the guy who walked in on him in the bathroom.

Beat that.

I have answered the phone wrong, once
not really embarrassing though.

one time I was in the ladies room (use that term loosely) and saw a vibrator on the floor. someone must have dropped it and was too embarrassed to pick it off the skanky floor

2 come to mind.

1st: Caught my VP and his secretary banging in my network room on a Saturday. Needless to say I always received stellar reviews after that. He was married and not to her.

2nd: Was on a conference call for a project we were doing with our sister company. The project manager/technology director at our sister company is a complete douche - you know...the kind who likes to speak to make himself feel important - but has no clue what he's droning on about. I though we were on mute and made the comment of, "Jeso Cristo, its a f-ucking miracle anything gets accomplished with this kind of management."

That alone I'll bet has gotten a LOT of people in trouble!

When I caught a sleeping wino behind our shop rolled up in a piece of carpet.
It was cold as hell and I kept on yelling at him to get his ass up and moving.

He was dead.


Boy, was my face red when the cops/emt's got there.

Meeting a new customer to help reel in a $13 mil. contract, they wanted to meet the Quality Control Director (me).

I flew into Minnesota, a full day before the meeting because of impending bad weather approaching. Airline lost my luggage that had 2 suits in it.
The airline agreed to reimburse me for the loss and I scramble to find a Mens store for a new suit. The concierge at the hotel recommended a Mens store very near the hotel.

I was fitted and promised the suit within 1 hour. I grabbed a quick bite to eat before I went back to the hotel. When I got up to my room I found the suit lying on my bed. I was a happy camper.
I tried it on, perfect fit, could not have been happier. That evening I even tipped the concierge a $20 for her assistance.

The next day, while sitting at the conference table a fairly attractive (read doable) manager dropped her pen on the hardwood floor under the conference table. Being the gentleman that I am I offered “here, let me get that for you”. I bent over while still in the chair to retrieve the pen. To retrieve the pen I had to twist into a gymnastic position which proved a little too much for my new suit pants.

It was not a simple zipping sound that came from the seam of my new pants, it was a POP. The seam disintegrated from belt loop to zipper fly. Exposing my tighty whity covered azz near inches for said doables presence.

After a “oh my” and a slight giggle, she had grabbed by suit coat off the back of my chair and wrapped it around my waist. The meeting was about over so we finished shortly after the explosion.

She offered to drive me to the Mens store to have them repaired, which I accepted.

The Mens store refunded the price of the pants, tailored me a new set of pants, gave me my choice of 2 ties and a sincere apology. I only paid for the suit coat.

I offered to take her to dinner for all her troubles and she accepted. We spent most of the evening talking at the restaurant, enjoyed a few after dinner drinks and went our separate ways around 11:00 that evening.

We got the contract. Found out she was one of the managers that was against us getting the contract in favor of a more local contractor.

Apparently she was impressed that despite any obstacles, we carried on with business.

We still keep in touch even though neither of us work at the same companies that we did.

NO….no sexual favors were ever exchanged.

#1:
Was at a new clients office in Ohio meeting to button up a new contract when, as I was coming down the stairs,
my rubber soled shoe caught on a slight rise in the carpet just past the bottom stair.
I lost my balance and started to stumble toward a wall at the base of the stairs.

I had just had shoulder surgery a couple of weeks before and still couldn't throw my arm up to stop myself
(other arm was carrying my computer briefcase).
As my head hit the huge print on the wall smack dab in the middle, the glass in the frame just shattered.

Slightly stunned and bleeding, we went into the bathroom to inspect the damage.
Just a few small cuts and some glass fragments, so off to their dispensary I went.
Thank god they had a medical facility or it would have been off to the ER.

I had glass working out of my scalp for a week or two...

#2:
If some of you remember over at CFOT when Jay13 posted that Jackyl had committed suicide.
Of course, he had not (and it wasn't very funny that it was posted as a joke),
I scrambled and texted and called Jackyl's cell phone (not that I really gave a shit Jackyl you asshole! ), and didn't get a text or call in return, I started to get worried.

A little later in the day I was in my office on a conference call with around 10 other people when my cell phone sitting on my desk rang.
The caller ID said "Jackyl" I got up and walked away from my desk.

I answered the phone by saying "You f*cking asshole! WTF were you and Jay13 thinking!"

I realized I was not far enough away from my office phone when someone on the conference call said "Did you just hear that, do you hear what someone just said?!?!"

I ran back over to my desk and put the phone on mute...
