How to make a fool of yourself at work.

I was in the middle of doing a really involved finance proposal to a leading bank, no one would leave me alone and I was getting rather worked up. A guy called and asked for my boss, I explained that he was on the other line and I thought the guy said "ill call his mobile" then I herd a click... I thought that I had just been hung up on so I said out loud "F****** P***" and slammed my phone down.

One second later he phoned back and asked me what my problem was... OMG!!! he had not hung up and had actually said "can you get him to call my mobile.

I made huge apologizes but he did not want to hear it and swore at me. Even though I was in the wrong I was raging and told him that I had made a mistake but there was no way he was going to get away with talking to me like that...


What a mess!!! I am an ass!!!


Bottom line is we sorted it out and made a sizable profit in the next 30 mins and he actually apologized to my boss sighting a bad day.


I would have sacked me!!

About 2 weeks ago I was one button away (enter)from being sacked.

A mate sent me 20+ examples of Spitfire (Bitter) advertising examples that were banned in Kent.

All with references to the war, Jerry etc. So whilst sending it on to Jenny in our place, but in the email address predicter nearly sent it to Jenny at MAN in Germany. Thank god for that.

In the showroom a couple of months ago, woman comes in looking at the Qashqai.
She "I'm interested in a Qashqai on the Motability scheme"
Me "What do you have at the moment?"
She "A Ford Kuga"
Me "Nice. I don't know why Ford called it a Kuga though, it gets very confusing because they used to do a crappy coupe a few years ago and that was called a Ford Cougar"
She "Yeah I know. That's what I have"



She marked me down on the Nissan satisfaction survey afterwards for calling her old car "a pile of [****]". Could cost the company over £3k in lost bonuses

When I was in the RAF and playing hockey, we had an away match. The coach was picking us up from the gym and I had my briefcase as I'd just come from work.

One of my mates worked in the PE dept and I asked him if I could leave it in his office until I got back.

We didn't get back until late and so I went straight home. Got called out at around 10pm by the RAF Police and was dragged up to the Gym where the bomb squad were preparing to blow up my briefcase.

My mate finished his shift early and thought was doing me a favour by leaving it in the gym entrance when I didn't come and collect it.

The duty security team spotted it on their walk around and treated it as a suspect EID.

They eventually tracked it to me as they could just make out my name which was on the briefcase.

Dragged in front of my CO next day and read the riot act.....got 4 days Jankers and a £25 fine
