Mistakes at work.

[sHo0sH]

A chap in our office has just made an epic blunder.

(I work in travel)

He has just booked a flight and paid for it for a "Mrs Feast Sylvia"

Not once did he question if Feast was a valid female first name, and is now on the phone with the airline explaining his stupidity.

Anyone made any stupid/embarrassing mistakes at work?

I was responsible for the whole black mesa incident, in my defense how was i supposed to know not to push that tray into the machine

Looks like he just mixed the surname and first name around.

Everyone makes mistakes. Only morons make ones like that.

In his defence, his second language is English, but still, surely you would question Feast as a first name for a woman especially!

I once seen someone (not at this company) but an ex one, put a customer on hold, or so they they thought they did, then proceed to shout over to a collegue on the opposite desk and shout "Can you speak to this "another word for a penis, begins with a k" head on the phone

Needless to say he wasnt on hold, and he wasnt happy.

Queue the complaint.

My old boss once spelt her own name wrong on a Christmas e-card that went out to all of her press contacts, that was pretty funny

Oh thank god, I thought it was me that did that. I've been living with the guilt all these years....

I worked in a garage and at 8pm we would lock the door and serve through a hatch in the wall. The was a microphone so we could communicate with people at the petrol pumps.

One night some woman went over to the door to try come in, pushing and pulling the door even though it was clearly locked and looking so confused, not to mention there was a queue at the hatch of people waiting to pay.
So I said to the guy I was working with "is she ****ing stupid or something,can she not see everyone at the hatch?", not knowing that the other guy had the microphone turned on and it was broadcast all over the forecourt I think she was too embarrassed to complain...

He also had a habit of turning it on when someone he was working with was singing along to the radio, not something I did thank god!

"another word for a penis, begins with a k"

I'm not really good at crosswords, but I think the clue is wrong

I once (in a full office, when I was much younger and an office junior) called the old directory enquiries to get a number for one of the bosses who was sat next to me. The conversation went like this;

Operator “Name Please ?”
Me “ Phil *****” (my name)
Operator “Address ?”
Me (confused)“Errr. Well I’m at work at the moment….”
Operator “ LOL!”
Office “LOL!”
Boss” LOL!”
/me dies
