I work in an office. A highly paper trailed office. Which translate into BORING. So... we women have to get our entertainment where ever and whenever we can. Normally, if there is a cute, hot, handsome ( or really, if there is someone ODD) man that comes in, we usually spread the word and we all would figure out some way to take a peek.

Where I work we used to have to deal with the public quite a bit and we'd have to take 'walk-ins' which were people who walked into our office needing some assistance of some kind. Our schedule was set up to where on a given day you and a partner handled public phone calls and walkins during both 15 minute breaks and during the noon hour. The receptionist would call our personal line and let us know Joe Public needed assistance and we would go up to help them.

I was at work and my personal line rang and I immediately knew there was someone who needed assistance. I really wasnt in a good mood so I put on my happy face and walked up to the reception area. At the counter there stood the cutest young man ( by young I mean he was probably 20) so I walked up to him and asked him what I could help him with.

After chatting with him for a little bit, I learned he was a Marine (military men are my guilty pleasure as well) and that he was there to pick something up. I told him that I would go get what he needed, it would just take a second. I walked back to someone's cubicle and asked her if she had Joe Public's 'package' to which she said 'yes' and turned around to get it....Once she turned around I did what is customary of a bunch of old horny women who work in an office setting do, in order to past the day, we talk about the men who come into our office....

'I got a cute one up front!!!!' I said.

Without turning around she said 'really....a cutie??!!'

'Yep, CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCUUUUUUUUUTE'....We both cackled and she turned around to hand me the package and I said 'yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...he's cute but young so I can teach him a thang or two...!!!! I laughed but she didnt say anything thing. She just had this blank expression on her face, which was very odd....but I didnt have time to wonder about it so I grabbed the package and turned around....

And ran right into the Marine's chest.

Yeah.

All he could do was stammer and stutter. Finally he choked out 'I didnt know rather to follow you or not' and all I could do is shove his paperwork into his hands and walk off....

'til this day...my co-workers have yet to live this one down.

We used to have a hot UPS delivery guy. Once I had to sign for a package, so when the receptionist called me I said "ooh, I'll be up there after I put on some lipstick and pad my bra." She had me on speakerphone. Oh. Dear. Lord.
