Failed Task Successfully

I cannot believe this just happened!!


The day has been dragging on working from home today, and I queue up this prospect to call whom I have called before (5 times).


I had the phone on speaker, and I figure there's no way this guy picks up after a bunch of rings.


So I decide to let out a very, very loud fart AND AT THE EXACT SAME TIME HE PICKS UP THE PHONE!


Instead of hanging up immediately, I decide to go with it and apologize and this guy is laughing his ass off! I introduced myself, our conversation was great, and I even secured the meeting!


Only downside was temporary embarrassment and he ended the call saying: "Talk to you next week, fartboy"

Talk about a solid ice breaker, and dude will never forget you either, you'll always be able to be like, "Hey Jim, I'm that salesperson that cold farted you a few months ago.... got a second to chat?"

This sounds all too familiar. I was once on a joyous mission and drank my FIRST coffee energy drink ever. This was ~2 hours prior to rolling out. Fast forward 3 hours, I had the worst bubble guts. I was a gunner and had my team leader riding in the back so he was a poor witness as to what happened next. Things went from 0-100 and I unbuttoned my pants, grabbed a plastic bag, and attempted to shit in this bag. Shitty thing is, it missed the bag and just all went on to the floor of the truck. My team leader is practically vomiting. Iโ€™ve got shit all over my harness and the truck. We get to a quick stopping point and everyone comes over to dawn me with the nickname โ€œShitty . Just so happens to start with an S.
