Got caught sha**ing my girlfriend on the snooker table. I thought I had the only key to the room, but the bloke who maintained the table had a spare key. He was not impressed to say the least........

Did any one else read that as "sharing"?

Can we have a new rule whereby you have to keep both hands visible when typing.

Could be a valuable clue to Groperboy's sockie master - We should be on the lookout now for similar typos

1) Wearing my shirt inside out on the first day of a contract in a "right on" graphics agency.

2) In the same co. as 1) I starterd taliking to a woman I thought was talking to me about how I got to work in the morning. She wasn't talking to me at all but someone behind & wasn't listening to a word I was saying (also on day 1).

3) On day 2 of above contract I went to make a cup of cofee. They had a machine that ground the beans for you & the beans were contained in a giant hopper (I'm talking industrial size) on top of the machine. When I pressed the button to grind, nothing came out so I gave the hopper a little twist & the whole thing came off sending coffee beans everywhere. Then the 2 grils in chagre of marketing came in and I stood ankle deep in coffee beans.

Fell asleep and woke myself up snoring during a presentation at a Client's place in Dublin, to a roomfull of giggling faces.
All this shortly after I had blagged a presentation about Company Forward Strategy. I had only been with the Company about 3 weeks as a System Engineer, but they thought as I had experience of giving presentations that I was best placed to give this spiel. No wonder I fell asleep straight afterwards!!

Nice one dobbie!

Speaking of meetings, it's reminded me of an incident a few years ago. I worked with a lovely lady, who had dwarfism. Let's call her Tina. That was her name.

During a meeting with quite a lot of people, another (stupid, annoying) lady dropped her pen under the meeting table and it rolled near to the middle of the table. Before the other lady could consider how to retrieve it, Tina slipped off her chair and under the table to get it back.

Instead of perhaps just mouthing "thanks!" to Tina when given her pen, the stupid lady interrupted the meeting flow with a loud "Wow! That's SO clever what you just did. I wish I could do that!"

When I interviewed for my last ever permie job they sat me in a small office to wait for the interviewer. Keen to make a good first impression, when a man entered the room I sprung up to offer an enthusiastic hello and show off my firm handshake. I was so over-eager that he was confusedly shaking my hand before he could tell me he was just coming in to get some milk from the fridge in the corner.

2 separate client demos - and neither was my mistake, or my error, but I had to watch the developer explain the situation.

1) In the middle of walking through the process, a warning message pops up on screen saying "F*** Off" followed by one a bit later that said "F*** You!". Seems my (permie) colleague decided that he needed a debug message to show when the code hit that point - and forgot to either put a meaningful / non-offensive message in or to remove them before shipping the product.

2) Again, walking through the process (different client) - trawling through the test data that had been created. One client called "D1ckhead Gascoigne" and another called "****** Ince".

Running a program which mistakenly sent a letter out to about 10,000 Halifax customers about a week after starting my first ever contract. Whoops.

Was that the one which started "Dear Rich Bastard ..." ?
