If you’ve never experienced an embarrassing situation while at work, count yourself lucky! We spend such a large portion of our lives carrying out our jobs that it’s only natural that we’d face the odd mortification from time to time.
For some of us, an embarrassing situation is so shameful that we can’t relate it to anyone (except perhaps a therapist). Other people are able to see the humor in a mortifying event and turn it into a story to amuse family, friends, or even strangers on the internet.
Sam Staskal, a real estate agent in Wisconsin, falls into the second category: she’s an embarrassing story-teller. And we couldn’t be more grateful, because her own tale of what happened to her in late August this year is absolutely hilarious.
Taking to Facebook to share her story in a video, Sam sets the scene by explaining that she’d been showing a house to a male client, whose fiance couldn’t join them.
We already know the story’s going to be a good one when Sam adds, “Thank God she wasn’t there,” and starts laughing uncontrollably.
Sam admits she’s “clumsy”, and also “a big girl”. To set the scene even further, she explains that she was wearing a dress and sandals as she showed the client around the outside of the house.
So far, so good. Sam did her job, pointing out the house’s notable features – but the order didn’t last for long. She recalls:
“Out of fricking nowhere, I’m on the ground with my dress above my head. Oh, God, I don’t even know what happened.”
By this point, Sam is laughing so hard at her story that it’s impossible not to laugh along with her.
It’s everyone’s worst nightmare: unintentional indecent exposure. And the fact that Sam was all alone with her male client makes it even worse.
Continuing her story, Sam adds,
“Thank God he was walking in front of me. All he said was he heard a shriek. And when he turned around, I was sprawled on the ground.”
Sam’s client had thought she was pranking him, so bizarre was the situation. Unfortunately for Sam, this was very much real life.
She goes onto explain that she quickly pulled her dress back down, and her client asked her if she was okay and if she’d hurt her ankle. Sam replied that she was good, but she’d hurt her pride. Completely understandable!
To make Sam’s story even worse, her falling episode hadn’t just been witnessed by the client, but by a neighbor who had been working on his garden outside. This just makes the story all the more amusing from Sam’s perspective. Still giggling, she says:
“Some type of professional estate agent I am. Oh, God, so embarrassing.”
Sam, whose shoes had fallen off in the incident, was convinced she must have stepped into a hole, but after looking around, she found nothing. Speaking of her confusion at the time, she says:
“I don’t know what the hell happened. How do you step, fly backwards, throw all your cr*p, and your dress over your head at the same time? I mean, how the hell does it happen?”
Sam had broken the back of her phone, her clipboard was flung to the side, and her shoes were a long way from her body. She had to pick up all of her possessions along with her pride.
Finishing her story, Sam says,
“At least I have a sense of humor, and he better have a sense of humor too, since he just saw me naked.”
If you need a guaranteed pick-me-up, this video is bound to do it. Sam’s story is only half of the fun – the way she tells it is the real source of humor. She needs her own YouTube channel ASAP!
