This actually happened today and I’m still embarrassed 5 hours later. For a little context I’m 22 (F) and work in a garden center in a management position. Occasionally we have to build certain structures like A-frames and tiered displays etc. So today I enlisted the help of my 16 year old male coworker for help with a project. He was “holding the flashlight” so to say, handing over tools and whatnot. Well I needed a nail. So instead of just saying so like a normal person, I blurted “Hey, nail me!” And instantly realized how wrong it sounded. He let out a giggle and said something like “Um I don’t think…that’s not..” and I replied “oh you know what I meant.” But it doesn’t end there. I then escaped to the back room to die and also tell my other (adult) coworker what I accidentally said. So I proceeded to explain to my coworker, who’s holding scissors “you know, like if you’re helping me and I need those, I hold out my hand and I say, “scissor me.” NO. That’s not what I say, ever again, unless it’s a beer, because that’s the only item that sounds appropriate to use the phrase with and I will never live this down. TL;DR Today I, the manager, inoccently but embarrassingly, told one coworker to nail me and another to scissor me all within five minutes. Great.
