Soo I work with a brand and we frequently do collabs with influencers and creators. They go live with our products and we hook them up with exclusive discounts that only work during their live stream. A few days ago, we had this new creator doing her first live with our brand. I set everything up ahead of time. She's in a different timezone so when her live kicked off, she announced the discounts... and when people started adding stuff to their carts, the discounts just didn't apply. She messaged me but I wasn't around. I didn't see it until the next day. Some people from her audience reported her for deceptive pricing and the platform tanked her visibility for a few weeks. How my seniors compensated her is a whole other story. Then next day, we had another exclusive live with a creator who's a big name in her niche. Like, she has several hundred thousand followers. Same exact thing happened. She announced the discounts, they didn't work. Luckily I was online ...

So, yeah... I fucked up. I m a teacher in a middle school and today, I had Year 9 pupils. I don't know how to say it otherwise, I am french, we don't have same school system. But my students are 14 - 15 years old. It was the last hour of the day, I was very very tired , it was a long day. The class that I had for the last hour is infamous because of their behavior. Normally, I m pretty good at taking care of them but today... Well ... They discovered the sex educational books of the school library and they were very excited. So we talked about it and everything was great. I advice them about things, I answers their questions... In short, I was doing a great job imo. But at the last 10 minutes, I was telling them that, if they had more questions, they shouldn't hesitate to ask them at adults like teachers, nurses or... Their parents. I wanted them to feel safe and to NOT take exemple on porn. That when some of my students laughed very hard and said " my parents ...

I was sitting in my car in a place with spotty cell service. The biggest horse(?) fly I've ever seen landed on the window of the driver's side door. I took a picture of it to send my best friend, as one does. I sent it in a text along with the words, "This dude is holding me hostage in my car". Well, my text went through somehow, but the photo just kept unsuccessfully trying to send. My alarming text, without the photo for context, prompts my friend to start rapid fire calling me to see if I'm ok. Every time I tried to pick up, the call dropped due to weak signal. All she could hear was a second of my muffled voice and then the call ending. I was able to drive to an area with service so I could call her to explain. I caught her just in time to stop her from getting in her car to come save me from what she thought was my kidnapping. TL;DR sent bff a pic of a giant bug on my window, along with a lighthearted text that it was "holding me hostage'. Friend g...

Yesterday we had a team call and my manager was sharing his screen. He minimized a window and his Outlook calendar showed for two seconds. I saw an appointment for the next morning with HR and Chris's name in it. The title was cut off, but I could see the word “exit.” Chris is a guy on my team. I assumed he was either quitting or getting fired. After the call I mentioned it to one coworker I'm close with. She told someone else, and by the next morning several people thought Chris was leaving. Chris came into work like normal. He asked me why everyone was acting weird around him and I said, “I thought you already knew about the HR thing.” His face changed. He had no idea what I was talking about. Now he thought he was about to get fired. He started asking what I saw, whether I'd heard anything from management, and why HR wanted to meet with him. We found out someone else on the team was leaving and Chris was taking over part of their work. The meeting was...

For some context, I work in a kind of obscure National Account Sales Management type of role. I have a short list of clients that I've worked with for several years where a lot of my conversations are pretty informal. This morning, one of my long-term clients threw a meeting on my calendar at 7:15am last night, and I start at 7 am. I usually do admin stuff until about 8 and it takes me a little bit to get up and running. I was in absolute cruise control this morning. The specific person who I was meeting with is named Amelia and I've met her numerous times over the past several years, and she is close in age to me. My wife's name is Emilia , and she will regularly call me around 7:20-7:30 before she goes into work. My conversation was very short, and she just had a quick question. When talking with Amelia, the call was less than three minutes where she just asked me to send her something, and I ended it with "Okay, sounds good... Love you"! She responded wi...

A few months ago I sold an old desk on marketplace because I was clearing out a bunch of furniture. Figured I might as well sell stuff I wasn't using instead of throwing it away. Guy came to my house, looked at the desk, paid me, and we carried it out to his truck. Completely normal interaction. Today I randomly remembered something that made my stomach drop. A long time ago I taped a spare key to my house underneath that desk. Not as a lockout key or anything, it was literally just where I decided to hide the spare because I didn't want it sitting in an obvious drawer. Eventually I completely forgot it was there. So I sold a stranger a desk with a key to my house attached to the bottom of it. And he picked the desk up from my house, so he knows exactly which door the key opens. Nothing has happened this whole time, which I'm very thankful for, but I'm getting my locks changed now because there's no way I'm taking any chances after remembering this...
