Azat Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 hmmmmmmmmmm Too many so I just tend to block them. One comes to mind though. About 10-12 years ago I and a close friend worked for a large software company. Worked really long hours. One day I walked into my bosses office and asked to leave a bit early as it was my sisters birthday and I had not even purchased a gift. He said something like "How come you have to leave early. it is not fair to all the others who are putting in extra hours", but did give me permission to leave. So I walked back to my office and wrote a quick email to my friend telling him that I was leaving and told him about the "A-hole boss" and the comments that he had made. Next morning I was called into my bosses office and he asked me if I could explain something. He had my message on his screen. DUH!!! I was in such a hurry that I had addressed the message to the boss and not to my friend.(I know now everyone thinks that I am an idiot) Long story short. I continued to work for the guy for 3-2 more years. Then I went to another company and became a manager and hired him, then we started a company of our own then... We are the best of friends and our families visit each-others on a monthly basis if not more and I get to hang out with his wife and him all the time. So the advice that I can give to all young people is send emails to your boss and call him/her "A-hole" and such. (I have had a much more embarrassing moment at work but can't go into that unfortunately ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THOTH Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 For me... probably (20 years ago of course....) when I very seriously hit on my best friends gal (he knew her from school...in another town etc)...when I first met her and didn't know who she was (but she knew who I was)...she took it well...and I thought she was being very friendly etc (more so then just a casual first time encounter etc) ...couldn't understand her hesitation (to take it further) etc as it seemed to be going quite well - she seemed interested etc...I was trying to pry her away from this party to go back to my place (etc)...LOL (I do wonder to this day why she didn't let on who she was right away...secretly enjoying watching & playing along with my "performance" I think...though not sure if she realized that I didn't know who she was...)...

gamavor Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 My goodness who decided to open a thread like this!!!! I have soooo many stories that at one point I was thinking of writing a book, (which I'm still thinking about). Just imagine being a lawyer during the times immediately after the fall of the Berlin wall in Eastern Europe. 6 months after graduation I had my first civil case as an attorney for the plaintiff. My opponent was .... guess who. The very professor that tortured me at the last exam - Civil procedure. Of course after seeing him at the door of the Court room, I asked the Judge to postpone the hearing because I didn't feel well. One time participated in negotiations where I insisted on having a performance bond article in the contract (one of the parties was Russian company), to which my contra-agent replayed that the performance bond is simply 9 grams. (You remember the song : Devet gramma w serdtze postoj ne zovi). They were so convincing that I agreed. One other time client of mine, in my presence when asked whether he agrees to so-and-so conditions of the real estate purchase contract said to the Notary public (back in Europe they are lawyers with full capacity and respect due as if they are judges or attorneys) something in address of his mother, immediately after which I pleaded that my client is insane. I had so many stories that Grisham would look like boulevard literature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyebruin Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 well, it's not so much embarrassing but hillariously funny/strange!! ---back when i was working at this medical lab (where we did tests on blood and urine samples) one of my coworkers decided to play a trick on me!(he picked me because he knew he'd have the most fun with me with my facial expressions and probably overreaction!!...dork! <_< nah, he's cool!!...)..anyways, he asked one of the girls in the office to pour some apple juice into one of the urine speciman vials and label it and make it look like a patient vial!!..needless to say, i'm trying to get some work done in the lab now and he's holding the thing in front of his face and telling me how he's going to drink it and how urine is sterile,...etc. and i was like whatever!!!...but then he took the lid off and brought it closer to his mouth and at the same time started to come closer to me!! so i freaked out and i think even called him 'retarded'!! ouch! ....he knew out of allllll the tech's in the lab i would be THE most upset to accidentaly have urine (or anything else) spilled on me!!---now, why do i have a feeling that i've told this story before on this forum??? ....anyways, everybody had a good laugh even the supervisors!!!
