Weird, Awkward and Work: Give it to me

Give it to me

By Kait - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I was cleaning the windows at work and a guy walked in so I opened the door for him. After I opened the door, he stood there with his eyes closed and his arms open. I thought he wanted a hug so I hugged him. Apparently he wanted me to spray him with Windex. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, whilst at a red light in my car, a homeless man with a spray bottle and a dirty rag came over to clean my windows. He started with the driver's window, which was wide open, and whatever was in his spray bottle smelled suspiciously like urine. FML

Drugs, not hugs

Today, in a crowded hallway, I saw the guy I fancy standing in front of me, with his arms open wide. Thinking he wanted to hug me, I wrapped my arms around him and stepped back. He looked at me like I was nuts. I then realised he was trying to hug the girl next to me. FML

Missed cues

Today, I had an interview for a job in a professor's lab. He seemed like a really nice, grandfatherly old guy. We got up to go take a look around the lab, and he held out his arms really wide to me… so I went in for a hug. Turns out he was just gesturing for me to go through the door first. FML

Funny guy

Today, the window cleaner did his rounds at my house. I sat at my mirror applying makeup and doing my hair. When he came to my window, he yelled rather loudly, "Stop putting on a show for me, you dirty slut!" FML

Today, I went to work and said hi to my boss. He reached towards me. I thought he was trying to give me a hug, so I awkwardly hugged him back. Turned out he was just trying to fix my shirt collar. FML

The literal smell test

By Yudith - 02/12/2024 06:00 - Canada

Today, my boss held his polo shirt one inch from my nose and asked me to smell it. He said that he was going into one of our tenants' apartment and wanted to smell him before and after so I could judge said apartment's cleanliness. FML

Today, I went to a guy's dorm for the first time. He told me to wait outside for a minute because he had to "clean something up" first. When I told him I'm 420 friendly, he said, "Nah I just came on my desk earlier and didn't feel like wiping it up." FML

Today, I was walking through the main lobby at school and I saw someone waving at me, so I waved back. Turns out she was just cleaning a glass door. I heard laughter behind me. FML

It cleans you better than that nasty fluid that comes out of a shower head.

He has a giant rash all over his front! Did no one watch My Big, Fat Greek Wedding? I only watched it once seven years ago

I don't know which is weirder. The fact that you hugged a random stranger or the fact that he wanted to be sprayed with windex...

How do you know he was a complete stranger? He could have an eye-patch or missing a finger or two. Do not make assumptions.

In order to show some compassion. Or maybe he was having a rough day and just needed to feel loved.

I don't see much wrong with the hugging of a complete stranger. Depending on the stranger, that could've just made their whole day. You never know what something as small as a simple hug can do! As far as the windex, I'm not sure why anyone would want to be sprayed with it..

I was gonna say, do you normally hug random people, or was it just an in the moment kind of thing?

It's a better conclusion than thinking someone would actually want to be sprayed with windex.

Definitely not a ydi, hug is less awkward than windex

...I'm pretty sure a Windex fetish is more awkward.

How could you not know he wanted to be sprayed with Windex? You'll be cleaning the toilets later and he'll walk in, eyes closed and mouth open wanting toilet water in his mouth.
