Silliest thing you've done at work...
We all have our slow days, our blonde moments, our moments of relapse and stupidity.. i wanna hear some funny stories.. i have a couple....
todays not so funny, but i'll fill u in on my condition. i lost my voice, so i have no means of communication. and i was so tired from this weekend that i actually full out passed out on my keyboard lol... another blonde moment: there's 3 mikes that work in my office. one of them calls me up and says "maggie i forgot my laptop, can u check my calendar and let me know what i have to do today". i say ok, go check it and call him back. leave a message on his voicemail.half an hour later i get a call, " hey maggie, its mike calling u back." i think its the first one and starting telling him his entire days schedule, including dinner with his wife, picking up his daughter from soccer practice and even his konido classes later on that evening. all of a sudden i get stopped with a "wtf are u talking about?!" my face just went white. i just clued in. it was infact my CEO not the mike i thought it was... omfg i laughed for soooooo long i had to leave the office. so yeah ... anything u wanna share?

I once stabbed myself in between the eyes with a pair of scissors while trying to open a crate at work.. a bit to the left or right i would have lost my eye... It happened in Toronto during the SARS epidemic and I worked in fairly ghetto area (jane and finch) hospital was hella sketchy

last day of work at my last job I took my uniform and stuffed it to fill it out, taped it all together, climbed up 30ft and hung it off a skid. The original idea was to have a noose and hang it from the rafters but I couldnt find a rope :(

I can't think of any recent examples, but here's a good one from the Starbucks days a couple years ago:
At *$ they use those aluminum canisters for making whipped cream, you fill them about 1/2 full with whipping cream, put the top on then screw in the little N2O cartridge while holding the whole thing upside down...which "whips" the cream. Well I'm standing there at the bar, chatting away with a customer, throwing things around all slick, like a bartender flipping bottles, etc, I scoop up a cartridge and twist it into the thing while cracking a joke. AND ALL WHITE HELL BREAKS LOOSE. Showers of cream are spraying all over me, the customer and the store. I had to throw the thing in a garbage can to contain it. It was all ovber the bar, the floor, the ceiling, and worst of all the customer. Poor guy was in a suit on his way to work. :( Turns out there's a rubber seal in the lids that hjad somehow become seperated from this one.

I was doing a pretty big lift with the overhead crane. I was focusing on what I was doing a let go of the crane controls to do some rigging or something... When I went to grab the controls again , they had come to rest on a big halogen light standard, and the entire control panel was in different stages of melting. The whole corner on one side was completely melted away and the circuit. The crane was incapacitated , which caused that whole side of the shop to be shut down for lifts...which are pretty much required a couple times a night. Luckily the superintendant likes me , because he let it slide with the " that cost the company a grand...next time it's coming out of your check" speech , and I wasn't written up either.

When i worked at a grocery store we would sit in the dairy cooler and inhale all the co2 from the whipping cream canisters. That shits fucks you up, so much fun though. I feel sorry for the people who bought whipping cream that had no pressure to come out of the can.

waitressing a few years ago
had a tray full of candles in holders, just finished lighting them all and they were all on the tray ready to put on tables. A second later I lean over the bar that the tray is on. Yep... I set my hair on fire.

i remember carrying a tray of wine glasses one time through the double doors into the kitchen. tray in the left hand, i walked through the right door.. left hand/tray hit the left door.. wine glasses go flying. i think i broke about 12 that time. i was also half drunk at the time.. (i never go to work drunk, but they had called me and insisted i come in at 5:30am, even after i told them.. their fault!)
at my last job.. the constant silliness came with all the "potential husbands". i'd be sitting at my desk, and my co-worker would knock on the wall.. we shared the same view with our windows, so we saw the same people. the best was when my boss walked out to his truck as the purolator guy walked in.. i was talking to him when i noticed my boss outside the window pointing at him and mouthing "POTENTIAL HUSBAND!!" i was trying so hard not to laugh.. and the purolator dude was so confused. ps - those whip cream cannisters are evil. one time i thought one was empty, so i turned it upside down over the sink so i could release the rest of the gas so it wouldn't explode when i opened it.. meanwhile it wasn't empty and when i pressed the lever all the way the whipped cream shot out so fast and just sprayed all over the place.. hate those things!
