I work at Best Buy.
Best Buy has a little section over behind their customer service counter where the managers can all do their paperwork and monitor the store, it's called "The Bridge".
Today the managers were in the back office, talking to a few of the District Managers. I was sitting at the bridge doing some paperwork. Two of my co-workers came up, and we began talking.
Ah hell, we were gossiping. Laughing. Speculating on who our new manager would be. Talking about the guy that got fired the week before. We were just goofing off and wasting time while the managers were getting yelled at by their bosses in the back.
You know when you get in those rediculous moods, where everything seems funny, even though you KNOW it's not? Well, we were all in that mood...
At one point Katie is saying, "Coleen takes SUCH long bathroom breaks- she'll be gone for almost half an hour sometimes!". I laugh and say, "Maybe she is pooping? Some people poop a lot.", Ben says, "Maybe she's changing her tampon?".
That reminds Katie to ask me about the toliets: "Have you noticed, Corinne, that there is alllllways some poop in the toilets here? Why wouldn't people flush??"
We all laugh at the stupid conversation.
We hear the overhead pager click on, and we quiet down to listen.
First it's just a little white noise... and then you hear a small voice say, "Colleen always takes long bathroom breaks".
We all look at the phone. Ben had been leaning on the wall, and he had accidentally pressed the page button with his ass.
The district managers weren't amused. Neither was Colleen.

Kent, Antonio, and Kevon? You must be not be american.
Not that anyone cares... but I just woke up amidst a dream that a Mexican woman was saying, "robot robot!!!".
Turns out, she was on her period and didn't have any tampons.
I dunno.

I was talking to my friend Antonio over the phone one day, when he had to take a quick call on the other line. He had me on hold for a second, then he came back to tell me that our friend Kevon was on the other line.
My friend Kevon is a desperate virgin bastard. He's always bitching at us because he wants to get laid, and after all this time, he'll take any girl that comes his way. Unfortunately, no girls are coming his way, so he takes it out on us.
Anyway, Antonio and I started talking about him, making our usual "Kevon goes fag out of desperation jokes", and five minutes into it, the audio on the phone is totally drowned by what sounds like a sputtering chainsaw. But it was actually Kevon, yelling at us as loud as he could.
"FUCKING PIECES OF SHIT! ASSHOLES! GO SUCK TONY'S COCK! MOTHERFUCKER! BLAAAGGHH!"
...Yeah. Having no consideration for other people's feelings can rule sometimes...

I once thought I had a client on hold and called, and I quote :
"A revolting little cocksucker"
His boss phoned my boss. Fotunately both of them agreed with me but I was politely asked not to say that again.

Hahahahahaha
My wife worked in a large grocery chain for a while and she had to sit in for the telephonist when she took a break. So one day the telephonist returns and starts telling her this very risque story. They could see the shop from the windows fronting the office and while the story was being told she could see all the floor staff suddenly look up and start running toward the back of the store.
Of course they then started making jokes about this as well.
You got it.
The paging service was activated.

Oh and, the paging systems run on a 30 second delay. I forgot to add that.
