Kid walks inside and immediately takes off pants. Me: Why did you take your pants off? Kid: Because I’m home.

Kid’s living my dream…….

I WFH.

As soon as my shift ends my pants are off.

No: I don’t work without pants on. We have had so many employees stand up on video calls without pants, and I do not want to be one of them.

One of my old coworkers had his screen off the entire time. Halfway through the meeting our tech lead asks him a question.

While trying to turn on his mic, he accidentally turns on his camera for like 4 seconds. We got a perfect body shot of him shitting on the toilet, no shirt and boxers down to his ankles with his phone is in his other hand. He must’ve had his laptop sitting on his bathroom counter angled down. He quickly turned it off. We all saw it.

The meeting went dead silent for like 10 seconds. It felt like an eternity. My tech lead was sitting in shock open mouthed and was like “um o-okay, maybe someone else can answer that…”.

Like 5 minutes later my coworker types in the chat and said “sorry guys my breakfast burrito was a mistake ☹️”. It was SO fucking funny. I was crying laughing. Our tech lead just ended the meeting early because anytime someone went to talk they started laughing like halfway through.

(It was a startup, so we didn’t have an HR. He didn’t get in trouble for it. It did become a running joke anytime someone was late or needed a sick day it’s because of a breakfast burrito lmao).

He took it like a champ and made a few jokes about it. He was super relaxed and hardworking, so it was honestly the best person it could’ve happened too.

If it was me I would’ve just quit on the spot. That’s the kinda stuff that would keep me up at night years later lmaooooo.

I'm just imagining him spending those five minutes on the toilet mulling over all of the different responses he could give in that situation.

Thank you for sharing, that is really goddamn funny.

The type that cares enough about the meeting to bring it with him instead of saying brb in the chat

u/zorggalacticus 1d ago

In college we had an assembly once. The speaker was wearing a wireless mic. He excused himself to go to the bathroom after his speech, but never turned off the mic. A minute or two later over the speakers we hear grunting/straining noises with lots of farts and splashing noises, along with some swearing. I've never seen a sound guy run so fast to get to the controls.

u/ethanlan 2d ago

That never really works. In that situation you either become the creepy bathroom guy and maybe possibly get fired or own it and be the guy who did it on accident and maybe get fired.

Noones gonna forget that if you pretend like it never happened. If your boss is gonna involve HR or fire you that's gonna happen regardless might as well try to salvage the situation

We were ordered to return to office. A few weeks in the entire department got an email from HR stating "eating at your desk is prohibited" with no explanation. Word quickly got around that it was because someone was chewing loudly on a Teams meeting. A retraction was sent out before the day ended.

I'm always told when people are visiting just so I know when to wear pants.

I never wear clothes when I'm home unless I have company

u/Chickenmangoboom 2d ago

I noticed that I would tilt while playing video games after work. I don't know why but I somehow concluded that wearing pants was the reason. I started switching to shorts as soon as I got home and I don't tilt anymore even though I suck at the games just as much.

29

u/walphin45 2d ago

No, in English, when a word ends in a 'y', the present conjugation for he/she/it ends with an 'ies'. For example, 'tidy' turns into 'tidies' (he tidies), and 'fly' turns into 'flies' (she flies). Same with the past with 'ied'. Plurals of these words usually follow the same rule, so 'sky' turns into 'skies', 'housefly' turns into 'houseflies', so on and so forth.

Never failed that on every play date when they were between about 18 months and 3 yrs my kids ever went to, one kid ended up naked. Never the same kid though and it never made sense why they decided it was time to just strip down.

u/Wyldling_42 2d ago

My middle boy was so against clothes that he would come home from school, and once the door closed behind him, he was stripped down to his underwear by the time he reached the kitchen for his snack. This was about a 20ft path, fyi.

Didn’t matter how cold it was outside, this routine was standard from 3rd-6th grade. I asked him why, and he said “it just felt better without clothes”.

85

u/Lizards_are_cool 2d ago

Could be an allergy to the fabrics or detergent.

111

u/Wyldling_42 2d ago

He left his underwear on and never complained about being itchy or uncomfortable that way, he just hated wearing clothes in general. Even now, as an adult, he walks around in only shorts (not boxers, actual shorts) when he is at home (any time he doesn’t need to be dressed). Just more comfortable like that.

58

u/TheSecretNewbie 2d ago

My autistic brother is like this. Until the fifth grade he would strip down to his underwear the second we were in the house

35

u/Wyldling_42 2d ago

He was evaluated when he was in 3rd grade but was not diagnosed. He has not mentioned if he’s revisited that as an adult, at least so far. We just had the rule if people were coming over, he had to keep pants or shorts on, he never had an issue with it.

That’s my autistic daughter. We call the president of the nudist society. It’s a royal battle keeping clothes on her, and we’ve entirely given up the battle on a bra. Not worth the melt downs!

u/tacobuffetsurprise 2d ago

Non-cotton clothes are incredibly itchy and annoying. Especially if there's any amount of sweating.

6

u/Youutternincompoop 1d ago

could just be the fact that it does feel better without clothes.

like ok maybe some pajamas do feel better than being nude but a lot of clothes are just worse.

u/bex021 2d ago

When I was 5 my parents had guests over. This was a complete rarity in my household. I don't ever remember them having anyone but family over before, or after this. Because I knew this was a special event, I decided to get dressed up. I had a fancy pair of tights that was too big for me (hand-me downs) that I knew would be just perfect. So, I put them on, pulled them all the way up to my armpits, added my dress shoes and my favorite headband and went downstairs to greet the guests.

I wonder if it's for attention because both parents have busied themselves with other things and they feel left out? Or it'd just be the normal random toddler chaos. I remember one time I was chilling in a little pool one hot summer day and my little cousin wandered up and peed in it. They do weird crap without a thought all the time, it's amazing any reach adulthood.
