is it me you're looking for??
Working in a CD shop you often get odd questions and people singing at you but one day a really frustrating woman came in. After about fifteen minutes of questions she asks her final and best. "Oh have you got that song, I can't remember who sings it, or what its called, it goes like.." (about to start singing but stops) "oh actually I wouldnt inflict my singing on you! Do you know it?" my co-worker looks at her calmly says "oh yea it's 'Hello', Lionel Richie" the woman looks thoughtful and says "oh is it?" my co-worker just sighs.
I had to leave the counter I was laughing that much.

Size matters, apparently
I was telling some of my work colleagues (a kitchen full of them)about a date I had been on the previous weekend- and our cleaning lady happened to be there listening in- before I even had the story out of my mouth about this lovely guy I had just met- she jumped up and shouted in the strongest most stereotypical Dub accent you can imagine- "well, tell us, how big was it?" I didn't know where to look...

Just like on the telly
Was doing work experience in a Solicitors firm. Deciding to get me out of the office they send me down with a trainee to the District Court. I'm sitting there in the court room with a vague idea about whats going on, when out of nowhere the woman beside me turns round to me with serious face and goes....
"Jaysus...its awfully like Judge Judy isnt it?!"
I had to bite the inside of my mouth to stop from laughin.

...and that concludes today's work ethic lesson
Office temp to office employee: "Is it ok if I sit at your desk during your lunch hour? I can answer your phone for you?"
Office employee: "Work away but don't bother with the calls, I never answer it anyway. It'll stop eventually."

Painters blues
Working on a building site the painter was painting the walls of an office. Some wide cabinets were in each office and were about 9 inches from the wall.
I asked him to make sure he painted the walls behind these too, and he said: "What do you think I am?......a bleedin ventriloquist?"

Taboo tattoo
Was in work and heard my boss talking to the cleaner who is from China.
His english was not great and he was saying he was going back home to see his family.
My manager said "that very nice, when was the last time you were over?"
He had trouble explaining and strangley took off his jacket opened his shirt and pulled it down. He looked at his arm and said "june 2006", he had a tattoo on his arm.
My manager then said "jesus im not going to ask you the last time you had sex"

Taking it well!
Not in Dublin but funny anyway. I was working in a power station in the midlands during the late 80's and early 90's. One Friday evening myself and 2 colleague's were repairing a large machine when suddenly one of the lads got his hand caught and in an instant had lost part of 4 fingers. I was understandably in shock while my other colleague shouted "John your f**king fingers" to which John replied "Ah wouldn't that sicken your stomach!"
