Hey driver, you had one job!

Of all the parks in all the garages...

TOOWOOMBA woman working late was the last to leave the office. She set the alarms and went down to the garage to her car.

The garage was a sea of empty spaces. Except for her small car at the back wall – and one work car right behind her parking her in.

The scene struck her as somewhat surreal given every other car space was empty.

After a trip back to the office, after turning off the alarms and searching for keys, she tried every set on the bizarrely parked vehicle.

She returned the keys, reset the alarms and at last left – not without sending a bewildered office-wide staff expressing, shall we say, dissatisfaction.

Cookie crumbles

HERE’S a hot tip for anyone who works in a secure office - cookies won’t open every door.

Office worker this week learned that the amusing way when, having run out of coffee at home and realising too late she forgot her purse, tried to get into the building only to be cookie blocked.

Turns out that a Byron Bay cookie is a poor, but rather sweet, substitute for a security card.

Whispers understands she eventually made it to her desk, but could still possibly be under-caffeinated.

Undies cling

STATIC electricity can be a real nightmare sometimes.

Garden City woman has certainly learned that lesson much to the merriment of her co-workers.

Winter means long pants

can be re-worn but a good rule is to make sure any previously-worn pairs of underwear aren’t stuck in the inner legs which, as life predicts, would only fall out on the office floor in front of colleagues.

Mountain trail fail

TOOWOOMBA lass not known for her desire to go on treks and hikes agreed to tackle Redwood Park in the belief the track was 3.8km in its entirety.

Not 3.8km one-way. After what seemed like a week of walking, the lass finally made it back to the top of the mountain and promptly dropped.

Whispers has it on good authority the only reason emergency services weren’t called is one of the walkers’ intense fear of heights from an aerial rescue.

Manly mystique

HERE’S one for the lads you know how men always

get grief for not noticing new hair styles or clothes with women? Well, turns out it works both ways.

City lad surrounded by women at his day job has come to be known for his black full-face beard.

It’s pretty hard to miss, or so it was thought, but it took a good few hours for the majority of his female colleagues to notice the difference.

Turns out the lad finally took his boss’ almost-daily

advice of standing closer to the razor in the morning.

Word woes

GRANTED, the English language is a minefield of confusion and irregular rules but there’re some words you just know. Or don’t. Safe to say one newsroom worker will never pronounce it ho-spice ever again after the ruthless laughter of colleagues overhearing her try and say “hospice”.
