Everyone has there moments. Once in a while we cant hold back with are words. Wether it be something so stupid you couldnt hold back or the moment was to fitting, so you respond. Sometimes its terrible, sometimes its funny (or both), either way im interested in these moment of weakness (or strength). Anyone wanna share some of these moments?
One of mine was when I was at work. Me and my fellow associates, were listening to a manager droll on about how we were not meeting times and a bunch of other stuff (retail sucks) when he asks us (rhetorically) what he should be worrying about instead of us. I (without any thought) responded “natural selection”. Everyone thought it was funny… but him. Lucky for me, the manager above him found it funny and I got away with it.
I can’t really think of any, at the moment, except for an incident where I made the joke about a manager who was a shortarse (I know, I’m small and he was bigger than me, but that’s how it works) of ‘getting one of those mini-dartboards and throwing him at it’, just as he approached from behind me
I was a trucker at the time and I had an awesome dispatcher, we pretty much had a 2 way thing with favors if either of us needed something we could ask each other for it and it would happen. Anyways I’m on my home time and I get a call from him about a problematic driver that is going to quit with a load that needs to be delivered. It was only like 30 miles away, so he gets me a $75 bonus for screwing me out of my home time. not that it really mattered, it’s not like I had anything to be home for, it was just diaper time.
I go to the rendezvous point and she’s not there. Find out she changed her mind, now it’s another 15 miles, I’m a little pissed and have a good temper. I head down to the next spot she’s still not there, call again, she had to take a break so it will be another 10 mins. I’m not happy, she arrives, I don’t say a word because I’m going to say something stupid. I just drop the trailer pull away and wait til she does the same, she does, we connect, I go to get my paper work for the load and she refuses, I call a third time, she refuses to pick up the phone from them.
It’s on me now to get them back and I’m ready to drag her face across the gravel, so I demand them back in not so friendly tone any more. She starts saying “you don’t know me, you don’t know what I’ll do”, she starts reaching under her seat still saying “you don’t know me, you don’t know what I’ll do”. I’m like well I’m going to die or kill someone today. She tries to slam the door on me, I held it open, no way in hell am I going to let her come up with a gun when I’m 2 inches from her and can make a shot rather difficult. What she was reaching for was her phone to call the police. I slam her door shut, and walk away because there’s nothing left to do besides wait for the police.
They come separate us get our stories, apparently she doesn’t know what a cunt is because she thought I was being racist, but the mistake came when they were telling me I shouldn’t of did what I did. I told them “I didn’t do anything I waited to find out if she had a weapon or not unlike you people”
TLDR: told police they would of shot an unarmed black lady
I was on a laptop WebEx call with a client and after it finished I called a coworker on my cell and proceeded to disparage the client with some pretty colorful language. After a minute or so I realized that I had not terminated the session so my entire remarks were going back over the computer.
I had a few days of extreme nervousness unsure whether any one on the client side was still on. Fortunately I never heard anything. So either the client had left or was too embarrassed to bring it up (Most likely had left).
Thank goodness I was working from home because I wet my diaper since I was so upset.
Was at the company for a handful of years, always being teased by one of the older original people (badge #13) in our lab about being one of the new kids. Got to the point where I was not taking the shit much anymore and just kind of started digging my heels in against it. He finally turned to me and asked, “Why are you being so obstinate?”
Without skipping a beat, my answer was , “It’s better than being obsolete.” Everybody within earshot lost it.
I had a summer job working with a gas company a couple years ago. I was standing in the truck bay with a couple workers helping them mount an air compressor when an older guy comes out (I’m just watching at this point) and ask me if I’m ashamed the company paid me so much to do so little. I thought for a second and responded “Well, they had every opportunity to pay me less.” Only time I ever saw the guy shake his head and walk off. I have to say it was one of my finer moments.
I’m sure some people can relate since it was a popular meme a while back. I can be socially awkward at times and most of the time I default to “thanks, you too” whenever someone wishes me a great day or something similar. Well, this happened a couple times to me and I was very embarrassed, to say the least.
I dunno it seems I always have “moments”, sometimes they can get very dark and bleak, it has gotten a tad better but one moment stands out vividly
I was like 14 and was done with my bio moms abuse at that point and she always would try and hug me during one of her breakdowns usually while she was on drugs, and they would be bout a guy who dumped her or something. She go so out of control I pushed her away and told her she “could die for all I care” that was really my first time" standing up to her", she was very abusive and very scary, of course she was just a product of her own abuse but oh well, it was unexpected me saying that to her.
