What’s the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you at work?
When I worked for a scuba diving company our dive centre was originally located in a shared shop space which we shared with one of our parent companies retail divisions. They had merchandise ranging from jet-skis to flip-flops and had just received a consignment of razor scooters (which I had not seen or used before) but I figured “how hard could it be”. I rode around the shop on a scooter for a few minutes and once I had decided I was clearly an expert thought it was time to try bunny hopping off a raised platform area (only raised about 5 inches, mind you, so not exactly Evil Kenevil). This did not go as planned however and resulted in me faceplanting in front of about 5 colleagues who all had a good laugh at my expense. More a bruised ego than anything else but didn’t live it down for a while.
Who or what makes you laugh?
Classic comedy like Faulty Towers and Only Fools and Horses and recent comedies such as The Big Bang Theory and Rick & Morty
