I was visiting a customer site yesterday. We were looking at the back of her two post telco rack, examing the fiber optic cable patch panel, which was towards the bottom of the rack. After examining it, I stood up and hit my head on the corner of the large network switch that was at the top of the rack. Real smooth, huh?

The worst part is I thought I had just bumped my head, but it turns out I also CUT my scalp. This was evident as blood started to run down my forehead. I was *so* embarrassed. Nothing makes you look less cool in front of a customer than a bloody head. Well — actually one thing makes you look less cool. One of my co-workers told me about a time that she fainted in front of a customer and ended up landing face first on a tile floor. She had to be hauled away in a stretcher. I think her story wins.

Anyone else out there manage to do anything gross, stupid, or whatever while in front of your boss, co-workers, or customers? Anyone? Bueler??
