The message boards at Boston.com has a thread soliciting embarassing work stories from its readers. The thread gets started well by "Tina160":
When I was 26 years old I was working at a mortgage company which employed about 250 people. At that time, "cubes" were none existing and everyone mainly sat out in open space with desks lined side to side and back to back. I always wore a nicely "fitted" skirt with a blouse, suit jacket and heels, and must admit I had a great figure (legs too!).One morning, I arrived at work and as usual was very busy running from one end of the company to the other. Everyone kept looking at me running back and forth with "#&*@" eating grins on their faces. I met with my boss, the VP, and through our whole meeting he was smiling and flushed in the face.
Finally, half way through the day, one of my female sales reps took me aside to tell me that I forgot to zipper my skirt prior to my arrival at work! Well, when you wear a tightly fitted skirt that zippers in the back and don't zipper it, you have a round opening in your backside. With much embarrassment, I headed for the ladies room. My first reaction was to turn around and look in the mirror to see what everyone saw.
"AHHHH!" - that morning I had put on bikini underware that had a cartoon picture on the rear end of a baby sucking its thumb with the caption "COAX ME". Since I had nude panyhose on, everything was in FULL VIEW!
But things really take off when Tina160 follows up with this:
Yeah - although I had to swallow my pride a bit, not all was lost (especially the respect I had from my co-workers). It was worth the embarrassment as I earned a 12% pay raise and a promotion that year.
Homina. Remember ladies, show off your hind quarters at work while wearing suggestive panties, get a 12% raise.
Oh, and speaking of work-related stories, have you visited Useless Sponge yet?
