I was walking down the hall in the administration building and the Director of Marketing came out of the Engineering office about 20' away. I greeted him as always and he looked my direction and returned the greeting. He proceeded to enter the restroom.
The women's restroom!!
Having looked my way, he had not noticed the gender specific sign on the door.
I called out "Bob, Nooooo, Bob, Step back this way!! (Name changed)
He stepped out and noticed the door sign. "Oh, **, Did I just walk into the ** women's restroom? Good ** thing no one was in there!" Great amounts of laughter followed.
Of course I told the story to many others as quick as I could.
Does anyone else have any stories of similar somewhat harmless incidents that you inadvertently caused and watched happen?

In high school I used to try and push the boy I had a crush on into the girls room... and he used to try and push me into the boys room...
We had a very strange way of flirting.

Uh... it was more pigtails in the inkwell than... what you're insinuating... I also used to chase him around the bio classroom with the bio club's hamster because he was afraid of it.

Re: Things you have caused... and watched happen!
I was just having a conversation with a coworker about a computer issue. She insisted doing things the way she was doing them was optimal. I showed her a quicker way and told her she was making it way to difficult. Her response:
I love to make things hard.
I just smiled and turned around as she realized what she said and turned the deepest shade of red I've ever seen.

Re: Things you have caused... and watched happen!
Forgive me if I posted this before, I honestly don't recall.
At the front desk, we aren't supposed to keep any bills larger than a 20. Unless we take enough cash to drop larger bills, we're supposed to sell them to the FSA (coordinator).
One day I was working a station right next to the FSA, and overheard someone asking her to break some large bills. "Can you break a hundred for me too?" I innocently asked.
She replied, "Sure, let me get her change, then I'll do you."
I turned to the half dozen CMs around us and said, "Did you hear that? She's going to do me!"
She turned bright red, despite being young enough to be my granddaughter. "Zazu! How *could* you?"
Again I turned to the crowd, and this time I paraphrased a famous film quote: "She don't know me very well, do she?"

Re: Things you have caused... and watched happen!
I didn't cause this,and not Disney related but......
Years ago working in a hospital on a post-surgical floor. One of our post-operative procedures was to have our patients use an incentive spirometer,a plastic device that the patient inhales with to inflate their lungs and prevent pneumonia. I was in Room 2 with a teenage patient and her teenage friends,when we all heard the booming voice of a usually Crabby Doctor speaking to the deaf little old lady in Room 1:
"Here,Put this in your mouth!"
"Suck on it!"
"Harder.HARDER!!!!"
All of us in Room 2 had very wide eyes by then.......
"Now do it Ten Times an hour!!!!!!"
It was fun to tease Dr. Crabby about it when we both walked into the hallway
immediately after :twisted:

Re: Things you have caused... and watched happen!
Mine was during a Gay Days at MK. I was working Pooh Fast Pass return and it was a tad backed up at the time. A little girl was asking me when Tinkerbell was goingto fly, and I responded, "Well... a little fairy told me..." Tha's when I noticed all the red shirts standing behind the family. They saw my hesitation and busted up laughing.
Petite and Proud!

Re: Things you have caused... and watched happen!
I made a Gay Day gaffe myself when I was a railroad conductor.
My customary safety spiel at Frontierland Station often included the warning, "Keep those hands and arms inside the train, the bears are hungry!"
I had been avoiding that particular line all Saturday, but by mid-afternoon it just slipped out --- to great general amusement.
"Are they big bears?"
"Are they cute bears?"
"Can I take a bear home with me?"
So, I just decided to go with it. "Naw, you gotta be careful around those bears. If they get you in a bear hug, they may just never let you go!"
"Oooo! Me first!"
"Really? Promise?"
"My last bear didn't!"
By then it was time to pull out, so I just closed with, "You folks sure have a queer way of lookin' at things!"
The giggling didn't subside until after we arrived at Toontown.
