So I get my cup of tea, young lass walks in and tells me she has a problem with her phone. No probs, go see phone, fix it, all done. Make polite conversation “how’s your bump progressing” I ask nicely as she’s pregnant. “Didn’t you know I’ve lost it”.. Ahhhhhhhh bo11ox, as the floor sucks me into a bottomless hole and I start profoundly apologising! “Its ok, don’t worry” she says, then her eyes fill up with water and the waterfalls instantly happen. A hug wont cure it, neither will a quick witty line. No-one had told me anything, so being nice I’d dug a damn big hole I could not get out of. Then to top it off, the girl who sits in her office with her isn’t in today, so its not like she can talk about something else to someone.
I carry on apologising, and make a quick exit. But the hole has been dug.
Good start to the day that one.

If people actually spoke to you in work you'd have known, it is your fault for being a cunt

I don't talk to anyone at work, I don't wish to know about X-Factor, Primark or what they are having for dinner tonight. It has grown tiresome after 10 years service.

I know its not my fault, I don't feel bad now, just at the time, when some girls bawling in front of you, its not exacly "i feel like a proper man" moment is it
Willay, nope, big company split up, my part has 8 offices but im at HQ, and get to drive round branches, but most of the time at HQ, a huge 20 min from my house 
Hammer - lack of communication. I was out at branches, i got back after everyone left thursday, friday was busy, monday my boss went off as his wife had an operation.
Mofo's, they assumed I knew They'll will get a ticking off from the Sales Manager

Did it to a fat burd I just knew to talk to, didn't know anyone else that knew her.
Asked her in a short convo after meeting her in the shops for the 1st time in a while:
'So when are you due?'
Reply: 'Had it 4 months ago  ' , with that very face on her.
Couldn't think of anything to say so just walked away.
