It is not uncommon to admire a coworker but one mother was left embarrassed after she tried to ‘creep’ on her handsome colleague.
The woman took to Mumsnet and explained that her coworker was on the phone and had given them his postcode, so she tried to enter his personal details into her phone to check where he lived.
But instead of being discreet, her phone decided to betray her.
“This happened about an hour ago and I think I need to go home and never come back to the office again,” she wrote.
“I work with a very very very handsome man. He was on the phone in the office this morning trying to sort out someone to come and fix his boiler.
“He happened to say his postcode and I, being the creepy wee lady I am, put it into maps on my phone to see where he lived.”
She continued: “For some reason, and I still don’t know why, my phone blared out: Starting route from ‘current location’ to ‘handsome man’s postcode’.
“I was 6 feet away in a quiet office. He turned to look and I couldn’t even look up for wanting the ground to swallow me whole. How do I come back from this?”
People on Mumsnet were quick to reply on the mother’s hilarious experience, with one person writing: “Oh my god that’s horrendous and something that would happen to me so I am dying for you. Definitely Siri’s fault!”
Another commented: “In my teens when everyone smoked, I tried to casually impress a boy by pulling my cigarettes out of my bag without looking at them or him. I flipped the lid open shook them loose and said, ‘Help yourself’. He said ‘Er no thanks’. I had just offered him a selection of brightly wrapped mini tampons.”
Someone else shared: “Years ago, I was texting my friend about this boy I really liked and accidentally sent it to him. A few days later I saw him and he asked me if I had something to tell him, and I said no and left it at that.”
