tifu by labeling something with my initials at work
Last week we had our regional manager come in to inspect the store and make sure everything is in order. One of the things he checks is the labels on our totes to make sure they're appropriate.
From what several people have told me (I was off during the inspection) the regional was going through our warehouse checking labels and came across one of the boxes I labeled. Everything in the box was glue and tape so I named it "sticky" and put my initials after as we are requiredto do. It read "sticky jz". Regional was NOT happy and rips the page off the tote and storms into my managers office, slapped down the paper and asked what was wrong with the page to which my store manager replied "nothing". regional starts yelling about it being labeled "sticky jizz" and everyone except our manager had walked away to contain their laughter. Apparently you could hear him yelling "sticky jizz" in the warehouse and possibly through the store. Manager man told him my name and told him to look in the box as its labeled appropriately and regional turned red and went to put it back on the box.
I come in the next day and my direct manager asks me if I want to be yelled at now or later. I told him "why not all the time?" since that's just how we interact with eachother jokingly. He walked me over to my tote trying to keep a straight face and once we got there he told me the story and I nearly burst into tears it was so fucking funny.
Everyone got a wonderful laugh and regional became a little more humanized as he was just viewed as a boss.
Tldr - regional came to inspect store and saw my box named "sticky jz" and he started yelling. Manager had to tell him my name and whats in the box
Eta: most of us make puns on the boxes or reference songs.
Drilling? Drilling in the name of
Safety? Safety dance
Electric? It's Electric, Pikachu, or zap
Sockets? Sock it to me
I did accidentally type "sock" instead of sockets so it read "sock jz" and my coworker found that one lol
