» Accidental innuendo

Not me but I was there...
This one is a little tricky to get the story across without giving away too much info....
A certain office I used to work at, I had a couple of staff under me (wooo innuendo - but thats not the story) and one of the ladies was a terrific person..but shall we say not the sharpest tool in the shed. Another manager had the last name Horn, although he worked in a different area.
A phone call for Mr Horn came in, and the abovementioned none to bright staff member answered the phone. The person making the call asked to speak to Horny...staff member did not know who this was, as she only knew him by first name, so went to the door which led to a large rear area where quite a number of other people worked, and yelled to approximately 20 male staff, 'Hey, who is Horny??'
I have never seen guys clamber over their desks so fast...

That was a mistake.
Fortunately, a reversable one.

Things that peeve..
In no particular order..
People talking to me on train trips. I make 2, long, boring trips each day and come armed with laptop, mobile broadband, movies, Nintendo DS, headphones. When I have my headphones on and am obviously busy with laptop or DS, why the fuck try to strike up a conversation? I actually DONT CARE.
People who try and read what I'm typing on the train, YES YOU TWAT, THATS RIGHT I CAN SEE YOU. Moron.
Customers. I used to work in a CS role, but no more because I discovered, I was totally lacking in empathy and couldn't give a flying fuck most of the time, so I moved to a nice comfy desk job with no customers and no whining staff to babysit.
Guys who describe childbirth as 'a magical moment' or some such crap. It isn't magical for the poor sweating straining female trying to push something watermelon sized out something egg sized, and it sure isn't magical down at the business end either. Actually its quite nauseating.
People who don't read or listen. Announcements and notices are put up for information and to try and prevent you from making a complete dick out of yourself. Pay attention and everyone will be happier for it.
There is sooo much more...but thats enough for now..

Phone
Hate the bastards. All of them. I will avoid answering the phone at all costs, even if its ringing directly under my nose. Which tends to piss people at work off greatly. And eventually, when I absolutely HAVE to, I will check my voice mail...'You have 57 new messages. Message 1...*presses 3 to delete*....Message 2....*presses 3 to delete*..' And so on. Even the ones I do listen to, I instantly delete and rarely call back, I will usually ping an email off to someone else and make it sound like its their problem..
I have a mobile, but its usually off or set to silent so the extremely rare occasions someone calls, I miss it anyway. I do send SMS messages though.
