This is a lovely thread - it has made me smile several times.
I used to work for an American company and often worked late on Friday evenings. In the beginning of working there I would answer calls for another department and there was one nice, older guy who used to call and we sometimes had a little chat before I passed him on to whoever he wanted to speak to. One day he said to me; how come such a lovely young girl is always in the office late on Friday nights - you should be out having fun! Without thinking I just (jokingly) said; well if I can't do my work in the allotted hours I will have to stay behind. Well about a week later the nice guy was visiting the London office and walks around saying hello to everybody. When he was introduced to me he said that I was too lovely to stay late every Friday night. That wasn't so embarrising, but just seconds before he had been introduced to me as the co-owner of the company!!! I had no idea!!! Very embarressed was I, but I had a long time with the company and the co-owner definitely remembered the girl who had to stay behind to get her job done!!!

Many years ago I operated a switchboard in a local car dealership. One call was from someone who said his Dad was coming to pick his car up from us, and could
he talk to him. Apparently this gentleman would probably be in the workshop having a word with the mechanic. Not having a tannoy, I used to run around the
garage. On this occasion, I stood at the top of the workshop and shouted in a large voice, "Telephone call for Mike Hunt!!!!"
 (I'll go and sit on the naughty step now...)
I wondered why all the mechanices fell about laughing. Yes, I was set up, and boy was my face red!!!

i fell over onto my hands and knees in front of several buses, and held up the traffic because my knees went numb and i couldn't get up, that was
embarrassing,

Mine was NOT funny I'm afraid. I was 16 and working in a new clerical job in Sydney (Austalia - where grew up) and had asked a slightly older friend who I
wanted to impress, home for the weekend.
Now we weren't very well off but Dad had got us a lovely TV and this girl didn't have one, so was delighted to be able to watch ours.. On the Saturday afternoon we were watching a programme when there was a loud knock at the door and 2 burly men came in to repossess the TV. Dad was always trying to look good but didn't have money to back his image, so hadn't paid the hire-purchase payments. I was so embarrassed I could have died. I don't remember now how I got through the rest of the weekend or how I faced people at work. I know it went all round the office from remarks that were made. Not a happy memory and definitely my most embarrassing experience ever. I'll try to remember some lighter ones for when I'm on the forum again. I feel bad again just remembering that one! Janet |

Whilst working in a Wedding Dress shop many years ago this very elegant lady came in wanting something really nice for a Highland Ball. So after putting her in
a fitting room, I went to get a few gowns to show her. On my return to the fitting room ,this very elegant lady was as bald as a coot and the shock I got was
awful. She apologised to me and we had a giggle about it , she said it would have been worse if the wig had came off whilst I was putting on the evening gown.
She had Alopecia since she was a young girl and her hair never grew back, but being young and ignorant ,I had never heard of such a thing. Rita x
