Good or bad? My boss mistook me for a mannequin.
Yesterday at work one of my bosses stopped in to the office I share with the graphic designers, and freaked out because I "scared him."

Later in the day, I was told by a reliable source that he had mistaken me for a mannequin, but when I started moving, it scared the crap out of him. I can't imagine why he thought we'd even HAVE a mannequin on the premises.

It was pretty much the best thing I'd heard all week.

:rofl:

2. Be glad he didnt feel the need to "feel up" the mannequin...
That would have been a bit awkward, and scared him so bad he would have had a heart attack.

6. I think I just about gave him a heart attack, as it was.
Then I got confused and told him "that's okay- it's Monday." (except it was Friday.)

3. Wow, that's weird.
Maybe you stand very, very still and don't blink much?

I am occasionally mistaken for a gargoyle (usually when I sit on my porch roof), but that's a bit more understandable.

7. I was sitting at a table behind my laptop.
I must sit very, very still.
I'll have to try to notice.
