- in high school i was an attendant at a local gallery and there was a large beeswax artwork that included some little wax towers on the ground. I was supposed to tell people not to touch it/ensure they didn’t step on it. One day a woman came in and started fiddling with the wax. I was so excited to finally do my job and said “uh maam I’m sorry but please don’t touch the artwork!” and she responded “I’m the artist.“
- recently met my big boss’ wife and said “Oh, you’re jerry’s husband!“ shewas very nice about it
- was working an outdoor event with maybe 100 people in a line in front of me and opening bottles of sparkling wine. I opened one too quickly (they have been exceedingly fizzy) and it made a loud popping noise, the cork shot up over 20 feet, and my entire face and front were blasted with foamy rosé. To make matters worse, in addition to laughing, everyone broke out in loud applause; I guess in response to the normal connotation of the sound of a champagne bottle popping? I worked another couple hours but it was wildly embarrassing. The girls at the front of the line were very nice and told me I didn’t even mess up my makeup lol
