Most Embarrassing Incident in Professional Career to Date: Candidate #1

by Jeb on August 19, 2002

Scene: The foyer area of Jeb’s work. All staff have left for drinks at the local hotel.

Jeb enters stage right and Respected Office Worker enters stage left, simultaneously.

Respected Office Worker: Oh! I thought everyone had gone out for drinks.

Jeb: (stumbles through drunken haze) I just went.

Worker: Ah. But now you’re here.

Jeb: (has a good long hard think about this) …yes.

Worker: I came back here to finish off some work. Why are you here?

(In midst of drunkenness, attempts to conduct a sentence which communicates that he was actually at the pub, but then decided to go home, but needed to go to the toilet. Hence, he made a pitstop at work’s offices, and is now going home. But what comes out of his mouth?)

Jeb: T-t-toilet! TOILET!

Worker looks at Jeb with extreme alarm.

Worker: Well, rightey oh then. (Shuffles around awkwardly).

Jeb attempts to visibly compose himself and re-attempt an explanation of why he’s here.

Jeb: T-T-T-T-TOILET!

The elevator comes to prevent Jeb from embarrassing himself further.
