Weird sense of humor on the job.
Being in the nursing field I find humor comes in handy sometimes. WELLLLLLLLLLL without even thinking, we were helping move a deseased person onto stretcher to take to the morgue. This person was a little overweight. WIthout even thinking my mouth works before the brain, I said. "OMG this is like dead weight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Everyone involved looks and says it is. I was only trying to say that the person was very heavy but geezzzzzzzzz one day my mouth will speak after my brain works. Any of you have any weird on the job humor to share??? |

| If I get started, I'll never stop!!! Every job I have seems to involve stupid people and I can't keep from making fun of them! |
| Every occupation has "humor" specific to the occupation. While yours was more a slip of the tongue, you may have started some black humor..or at least grey humor. I hope the others see the humor in the incident and not think of you idiotic. Relax. (whenever you do these things I hope you can recover quickly and put that twinkle in your eye and purse your lips indicating you are trying to put a little humor into the situation.) works for me |
My theory is laugh or cry. I always strive to make people laugh. Not that I'm a clown, but I will usually make some kind of off the wall comment to make someone giggle. I love to wear shirts with humourous comments on them, and I tell anyone who asks why I wear them so often that I want to know why someone is laughing when they look at me. Better that I think they are laughing at my shirt than laughing at ME, lol, even if its not true. With all the stress most of us have every day, laughing is the best way to get through. So whatever it takes, laugh. Even I snickered at your dead weight comment.......  |
| A friend of mine is in the air force reserves in a human resources capacity. Just this morning she shared this one:
I think I made a blunder with my boss when I told him I needed a few "secs" with him. He sort of looked at me weirdly. Yep, it sure did sound like I needed a few "sex" with him. So I quickly reiterated that I needed a few "seconds." Last time I try to abbreviate anything! That's pretty bad when your job is investigating sexual harassment complaints, you know. |
| I remember when I was in Elementary school, we where reading a poem about the Indians and it was my turne to read allowed and there was something in it about their bowl and I said Bowel....so you can only imagine how that went over. I am still laughing after all this time.
I come from a family of nurses, Mom, Sisters, SIL, Aunt, Cousins and it has always amazed me at what these ladies will talk about as "dinner" conversation. Yes, a lot of laughs. lol |
