Caught hiding under desk. What's the weirdest thing you did?

Post Reply New Topic

The weirdest thing I did at a job once was when I was working at a clothing store that sold prom dresses. I was having a bad day and got overwhelmed, so I hid inside one of those tall round clothing racks for a bit amongst all the bright neon colored dresses. I didn't get caught thankfully.....would have been funny if I had though. Needless to say I have figured out retail is probably not the best job for a person with Aspies

once a guy in hong kong (i live in the US) caught me going to wrong planet. he was all bi***Y about it, and over 3 emails or something made me promise i'd never do it again. only time i've ever pissed off someone in hong kong.

The weirdest thing I did was fart loudly in the movie theater when I was 10. My dad didn't think it was funny but I did since I was just a little girl.

Well.. not because of ASD..I think. And we are talking about "at work" right?

After a tiring week changing planagrams as a manager at Toys R Us, a kinda hinky sub supervisor guy was aggravating me to access some data on our computer (eventually needed IT) that was having a problem. And he mumbled 'was everyone employed was some kind of monkey'.. and I dont know why....
I basically re-enacted the scene from 2001 Space Oddessy complete with angry chimp effects, then threw baby clothes and other stuff (the desk was in the Babies R US World dept) from nearby shelf at the PC and him, then fled the scene.

I was number one seller and a triple dept manager.. they were not sending me anywhere >_<

Anybody remember the 1978 FEDEX commercial of an employee hiding under his desk in order to avoid his upset boss; on account of a package not delivered on time...........using FEDEX? (LINK).

Things have become more stressful over the last forty years (the Dilbert cartoon-strips come to mind) - which can be esp. overwhelming in reconsidering the Autism spectrum. Hiding under desks are not the weirdest things that happen; yet it's perfectly normal to be embarrassed, and to avoid even mentioning the experience.

The FEDEX commercials of the late 1970s and 1980s resonated with many people precisely because the commercials worked through balancing those anxious situations with humor.

P.S. If you can, taking a walk out in the fresh-air for about ten to fifteen minutes is beneficial when things become too overwhelming!

In my old job I got caught crying in a cupboard.

I remember at my shrink's office back in 1979, in an old Victorian mansion in downtown Tacoma [WA], there were these flights of stairs made for little dinky-feeted people who lived back in those days [late 1800s], and my big clodhoppers were hopelessly outmatched, so the first step I took in descent, my heel which didn't have enough landing for a secure grip, slipped out from under me and I fell hard upon my tuchas and bounced on it each step down the stairs, am guessing perhaps 20 steps, OUCH! each step of the way, I musta made quite a racket because when I reached the bottom, a door opened and 3 heads stuck themselves out and stared at me like I was an alien or something, shrugged, then ducked back behind the closing door.


at work one day, I was full of gas, and try as I might, I couldn't keep it in so eventually one barked out loudly, at which point I stomped on the floor and exclaimed, "dowgy! where'd that duck go?!"
