1. That awkward browser switch you have to do every time someone came near you while you were on the computer. You were on Facebook or worse a porn site. You knew it, they knew it. Yet you pretended that you were working on your metrics! Or of course, getting content for your next marketing campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"itsnotwhatyouthink\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. When you were in the loo and some stranger next door was wailing her organs out! Or was making weird noises. God knows what they had for dinner last night.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"New<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. What\u2019s even more awkward is when both of you come out together and you realize it was your boss!<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course you didn’t hear anything.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"awkward<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4. When all your attempts to silently fart fail and instead you sound like you just dropped a grenade<\/span><\/p>\n

\"fart<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5. <\/span>When you are trying to sneak some\u00a0stationery into your kitty and the housekeeping guys swoop in right then.\u00a0<\/span>You were just, just, doing a curious inventory check as part of your 20% project of course.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Awkward<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

6. You get up from your seat, walk like a king towards the empty corridor; gradually increasing your pace just as you are about to reach there and scratch away to glory and turn around to get back to your throne, when you realize you had an audience!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. You want to bunk office today and message\/call your team lead and announce that it\u2019s your time of the month and you feel like you just participated in the 20km marathon, when they promptly ask you \u201cIt\u2019s only been a couple of weeks since the last one. It\u2019s too early this time innit?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

8. When your biggest crush, love of your life, dream girl, comes to you and “casually enquires” about your\u00a0best friend.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"tumblr_mimrph0AQq1s0091oo4_r1_250\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

9. When you finally decide that today is the day you would be going to be able to take a decent lunch break and return to your desk after an hour, only to find your boss there admiring his new watch!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"surprised\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10. When you are trying to politely explain to your new intern, how the project could have been better and the next thing you see is a complex\u00a0secretomotor phenomenon characterized by the shedding of tears from the\u00a0lacrimal apparatus, without any irritation of the\u00a0ocularstructures!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"tumblr_m7fbj9Gmn31qhxv1u\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

11. So you really wanted to listen to some easy music, get the work vibe going, etc but tadah! Before you know it, the mellifluous tunes have turned into heavy metal and bang your head you must, sing along loudly you must, safely ensconced in your headphone, not realising that the entire office was audience to your little desk gig.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"listentousic\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

12. So you’ve just sent that ultra-amarous-borderline-sexual email meant for the boyfriend to your boss. Worse still, you just announced your displeasure with HR at being given a notice of termination, to your ENTIRE office.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh boy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"typo<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

13. Your monthly dinner meet with the team just turned into a full blown party, and you’re grooving away with the colleague whose name you didn’t know until now. But well tomorrow is another day. Turns out the boss really wasn’t as drunk as you thought he was when you had that meaningful drunk talk with him.\u00a0Your cover is well off.<\/span><\/p>\n
