Occured to me this morning that a thread like this might have potential, especially for those in work today.
What stupid things have you seen happen at work? I'll also allow the journey in and from work as well. You can use the thread to be funny or vent frustration depending on how you feel.
So to kick it off I've got two:
1) There's a guy at my work who's technically challeneged. He has a mobile with an old fashioned ringer and a desk phone with a modern high pitched beep.
A couple of times now his mobile has rang and he's reached for his desk phone by mistake. The trouble is he doesn't realise the mistake and starts frantically saying "Hello Hello?!" only to be greeted by a dial tone. Thing is he's answering, speaking and hanging up between rings so every time he hangs up the desk phone his mobile rings again and he does the same thing again! Leads to a bit of a chuckle in our part of the office.
2) On the way into work I usually get the plonkers who'd rather cycle on the busy pavement than the empty cycle lane dodging past me. The other morning I saw someone using the cycle lane but in the wrong direction, so he was cycling into on coming traffic. Suffice to say he jumped quickly when he saw how close the oncoming lorry was to the curb!
So what about you guys, got anything good?
