I am SO embarrassed.

I was just sitting at my desk and felt a small earthquake. My coworkers keep our doors open and yell back and forth to each other often. Right when I felt the quake I yelled "earthquake!!"

The girl a few offices down is 9 months pregnant and was walking by. She said "No, I think that's just me."

We are on the second floor of a not very sound building and sometimes the floor will shake if you walk really heavy and fast on it. I DO NOT think it was her and am pretty sure it was a small quake. I told her she was nuts for thinking that, but oh wow what timing.

I hope she was not...large.

She is teeny, but 9 months pregnant.

Quick! Go the USGS Earthquake map and show her there was an actual quake.

Do you have earthquakes where you live??

Yes. A ton!

[panbitch]

Go to USGS and look at the US Maps they are updated every few minutes.

[elleblue]

I'm dying. Dying! That poor woman.

[miso]

I love that you actually yelled, "Earthquake!"

LOL.

I don't think I've ever experienced that.

Someone announcing an earthquake, that is.

We do have earthquakes.

We do have earthquakes.

We will usually yell it or say did you feel that one? My boss never feels them. I don't know how.

[okla]

I think we live in the same town. Social media doesn't seem to support your earthquake theory. Sorry.

[readyin07]

Lol lol lol.

Noooooo. OMG there had to have been one. I will absolutely die.

[panbitch]

USGS shows nothing in the lower 48 in the last hour.

[sallywalker]

Or there better have been a huge fucking wind gust. Our building will shake a little in the wind.

[pantsparty]

Okay, well, stop yelling, "Earthquake!" from now on, sally. LOL.

[bab]

Holy crap

[ErinExpat]

Ugh, I am cringing so hard. Poor thing.

[sallywalker]

I still don't see one reported. I bet she won't look.

It really wasn't her though. She is itty bitty even nine months pregnant. No way she made my computer shake.

I'm going to go crawl in a hole and die now.

[miso]

No, no.

Just keep yelling, "Earthquake!"

You know.

For consistency.

[pantsparty]

How far along are you?

I bet 6 or so months from now one time you will be walking past her office and she'll yell, "EARTHQUAKE!"

I have tears in my eyes just thinking about it.

Dear god I hope she does!

[slcjess]

Oh noooo! Was she wearing heels? Maybe that contributed to it? I'm sorry. For you and for her. I'm still laughing though.

[Elsa]

OMG lolololol!!!! I'm sorry, I know its not funny, but lol!!!



I'll tell you my humiliating non-intentional story.

When I was in college I saw a car with a hilarious bumper sticker on it. I was dying laughing at it, and tried to point it out to my friend as we walked to her car across the aisle.

She looked mortified and hustled me into her car. Apparently there was a family getting their disabled child out of their large van right next to the funny-bumper-sticker-car, and they were flipping me off thinking I was pointing and laughing at them. My friend angrily accused me of this once we were in the car and pulling out. I hadn't even seen them.

I was so embarrassed. I jumped out of the MOVING car to run to apologize. They didn't speak English and I don't think they understood or believed me

I think the NEXT best thing to do is just go all in.  Suggest Richter for a baby name. Give her a onesie that says "8.2". Toss a cup of water at the person walking behind her and shout "TSUNAMI!"

Or Aki, the scale suggested to replace the Richter scale.

[Kristinmo]

I'm sorry you need to look for a new job.

[marylennox]

Ouch.

[iamgrace]

She is totally posting about you on the Internet RIGHT NOW.

i can't stop laughing at this.

[iamgrace]

If anyone has a fan running in their office, yell HURRICANE! when you walk by. Perfect cover.

[miso]

We could do this all day.
