Ok well there haven't been many posts in the last couple of days. So I figured I would start a thread about funny stories members here have had or funny stories about people you know...or just funny shit in general.

So I suppose as the OP, I should start...

I work at an IBM site here in New York fixing printers copiers and fax machines (pays fairly well and I get to fuck around on the interweb most the day so ++).

We have these stupid magnetic swipe badges that we basically have to use to get thru like any door on the site (gets to be a pain in the ass because the magnetic strip wears down quick).

To make matters even worse, the plastic clasps used to clip one's badge are notorious for being weak and breaking regularly.

Well here it was, about 18 months ago when I was a new employee.

I had to go for my "morning glory." For those who do not know what this is, it is taking the ritualistic morning Number 2.

Many of the toilets at the site I work at have motion sensors and automatically flush when you get up from "doing your buisness."

Well, I was just finishing up one fine morning and stood up moments later only to realize that my clasp had broke and my badge had gone into the toilet. Naturally, it flushed automatically.

This was quite interesting to explain to my manager. I was nervous as all hell, being a new employee and having to justify this being the reason I lost my badge.

I thought about making up some bullshit story about the whereabouts of my badge, but thought otherwise and told the truth.

I believe after I explained the story, the exact phrase I used was "Shit happens...literally for me."

My manager was very cool about it and even got a laugh out of my comment.

At the time, I felt like a huge idiot, but looking back now, I realize it is actually pretty funny.
