So I (23F) work a front desk job, some of my co-workers like to stop by and chat. Today, one co-worker (we’ll call her Ava, fake name) stops by to share an add in she likes to add to her diet coke.
She mentions that she has a couple in the staff fridge but they are starting to freeze. She makes her diet coke and I say I’d like one too. Ava goes and gets it for me and hands it to me, I take it and I realize it’s FROZEN. She brings me a cup of ice and the add in she likes. I go to open the can (completely and utterly oblivious to the repercussions of it being frozen since Ava turned out fine) and it EXPLODES.
It made the loudest boom noise in our quiet office, clients in the waiting room completely ignoring what just happened. There it was, all over my computer, my paperwork and the explosion was SO big that it got high up on the walls and ALL OVER the median we have separating the front desk people and clients. We both froze because we cannot believe what just unfortunately occurred. It gets all over me (of course I wore white today) and my pants.
Ava laughs as we both process the big boom. She laughs down our hallway as she retrieves paper towels, recruiting another co-worker (we’ll call him Alan) to come see what just occurred. Luckily, they both helped clean up and de-cokeify the area.
While my bosses allowed me to run home quickly— I wanted to exhaust all my options before I make the decision to leave work since I was the only front desk person here and did not want to leave right away.
I called my mom and sister to try and see if they could bring me another top, they did not want to as they did not want to stray from their errands.
Luckily, another co-worker who is coming in a bit later today offered to bring me a top.
As of right now, I am sticky.
TL;DR A diet coke can exploded all over me and my work area and now, I am sticky until my friend can come save me with a new top. LOL.
