Most Embarrassing Job Experience

My first job was at Tim Hortans and it was maybe, my fourth day. My supervisor had asked me to start a new pot of coffee. I went up to whatever coffee pot, added the full amount of coffee into the filter and started it up. I went to cash some people through, and my supervisor yelled, "Jess!"
The coffee was overflowing out of the pot, all over the counters and floor. The coffee pot I had used was already half-filled.
I kinda wanted to die right there.

So, have you been mortified by anything that's happened to you while on the job? What happened?

I was carrying a cloth bucket to the sink room and I managed to spill water a good 10 metres around the store without noticing. I don't know how I didn't notice though because I somehow managed to wet my entire uniform from waist down in the process. It was horrible and embarressing as it was in front of co-workers, mangers and customers.

My first day of work I left the boiling water tap on. You know, the ones that give you instant boiling water. :tehe:

When I tripped flat on my arse lifting baskets. They fell everywhere and the 5" pile just toppled. >.<

I still laugh at my friend though, he slipped on an apple and got a black eye in produce. :lmfao

Oh boy.
So on my first day i was practicing using the loud speaker. And I said "Anette to design, Anette to- Oh! I found her!" Cause she was walking towards me as i was saying it over the loud speaker to the whole store.
People don't let me forget it either.

On my first day working at Waffle House, I had to make coffee, and when I was pouring a cup for this guy, I accidentally spilled all the coffee in his lap 'cause I wasn't paying attention.

Generally, no.
But I did once greet an employee who was in their normal clothes and asked if they needed help finding anything.
I've also broken two bottles of nail polish and once I mixed up some words and accidentally said 'cunt' over loud speaker, but fortunately no one caught on.

Lol all of thoses are very funny and embarassing, kinda makes me wanna put off looking for a job.

xx

Nothing too bad.

But this one guy that I was in no way interested in asked for my number, and I gave it to him just because I didn't want to tell him no in front of his friends.

Then this guy who was old enough to be my father acted jealous and basically hit on me when I told him that the guy I gave my number to wasn't my boyfriend.

Really awkward. :shifty

I forgot that the first time I went to use the bathroom at work [they're electronically locked and you need the code to get in] I used the men's room. Fortunately, no one was in there or came in.

I just walked out after peeing and was like 'why the fuck is there a urinal in the women's--oh shit'.

I also once let a man into the woman's restroom! He looked girly and I didn't know until I saw him later. He was nice though. O_O

And yesterday I was bad talking this customer. He came up with a ripped Hallmark Valentines' Day card and asked if it was full price. So after I rang him up I was talking about how cheap he was and how his wife wasn't going to be impressed and I saw him. He didn't realize, but I hid until he left. X_X

druscilla; believe.:

I did that too! But I, err, had a guy walk in as I was coming out. Awkward much. He was like, "What are you doing in here?" Yeah...I was all, "...aweh shit." -headdesk-

Probably when I was working at a boarding kennels and I was trying to get these two hyper Labradors back into their kennel, but they got out just as I had managed to shut the door. So they squeezed through the door and bashed it backwards, the door hitme in the face and I fell on my ass. =D

That was quite humiliating ...

:tehe: Abbee and I tried to cook butter. Don't ask. But anyway, when it exploded he and I are both like, "I'm not cleaning it!" at the same time.

:lmfao Good times.

I was putting silverware tubs away on a really high shelf, (on a step ladder) and I fell on my boss. Lucklily, it was in the kitchen and no customers saw it. But they still laugh at me for it.

I don't think this was embrassing it was more of a your fired moment
Kay first day
New job I'm all yay making my own money

I worked at a local resturant
so when I went to take his order he grabbed my ass and tried to feel me up

I threw his water at him and then slapped him across the face

I remeber giving the wrong address to the buisness and the person got angry at me on the phone and he came to the buisness to yell at me some more :file: i was terrified NEVER work there again

When I press cash instead of ETFPOS and I have to get a supervisor. Now that stuffs up when they count the draws. How embarrassing. :tehe:

Once, I was hoovering with my iPod on, and singing and dancing quite loudly, and when I turn round, there's a load of office worker people staring at me :tehe:
