What's the most embarrassing thing you've ever done on the job?

11. Unintentionally called one of my co-worker's wife a "B*tch"

.

I had a discussion with my new boss about one of the welfare workers who had given me a hard time for years - and used the "B" word.

Unbeknownst to me she was the wife of a co-worker, which my boss informed me of, and apparently the boss told the co-worker of the discussion.

Next day at coffee break, the co-worker looked at me and said "I hear you don't like my wife".

To this day, I don't remember exactly what I responded, but he didn't beat the crap out of me (he was more than capable) - so I guess my response was civil enough.

He never spoke of it afterwards, and we worked together without incident for the rest of my employment there.

But YEAH - That was embarrassing
