TIFU by trying to brush a crumb off my co-workers face
I (25f) tried to brush a crumb off my (27m) co-workers face. I am kinda new to this job and we have to wear masks at work so I’ve never seen this co-workers full face before. Our supervisor planned a going away party for someone so all of us had to be at this restaurant to participate in the celebration. It was at one of those nice restaurants that’s kinda dim inside and they serve you fresh bread while you wait. So everyone is eating bread making crumbs and small talk and since I’m the newer person I’m just doing my best to be friendly and not a statue or on my phone. My second mistake. My first one was showing up to this on my off hours I should’ve lied and said I was sick or my car broke literally anything but no I just had to go be sociable. Anyways I start talking to a co-worker that is the alternative shift for the same thing I do and he’s pretty laidback. And I don’t know what got into me if it was the fact that my most recent social interactions have been with family and friends or how I typically have a “mom vibe” but I told this man “hey you got some crumbs on your face…” (he tries to brush them off nothing) “ it’s still there..do you want me to get it?” He’s says yes. YALL. I go to pick the big crumb off like this 🤏 but last second I decide to go for a sweeping hand motion instead. AND THANK GOD BECAUSE IT WAS NOT A CRUMB BUT A MOLE!! COULD YOU IMAGINE. I 🤏 OOPS SORRY GOT YOUR MOLE!! I THOUGHT I WAS A CRUMB BUT IT WAS YOUR MOLE AND I PULLED IT OFF. Which I definitely would have attempted if I didn’t try to brush it off last second. I would have turned to dust and blown away infinity war style. Anyway he simply goes “didja get it?” “Yup sure did.” Luckily only one other person saw this lil event unfold but I’m not sure if she knew the full extent of my fuck up. Anyways yall I went to hide in the bathroom until the food showed up.
Thank goodness he’s alternate shift I can not face this guy again. I feel like he knows I thought his mole was a crumb.
TL;DR: Was at a work dinner. Thought my coworkers mole was a bread crumb and went to brush it off. Was not a crumb in fact there were no crumbs. Went to hide in bathroom till food came.

Lol in the future just tell them there’s something on their face. Tbh I’d probably freak out a lil bit if a coworker randomly touched my face with no notice.
Something like this could usher in the Apocalypse. The universe laughs while we spiral into the abyss. LOL I would have fled the restaurant
Holy Danza I would have actually died.. I think my heart would just stop beating from the sheer embarrassment… seriously tho if I somehow didn’t die I think I’d have quit. That is like.. American Michael Scott level of cringe.. maybe only added he would have tried once or twice before realizing it was attached and then said something really weird to cap it off..
I don’t think I could face my coworkers after that.
Thank whatever higher power you pray to for you have been spared this day.
Omg this cracked me up. I would’ve died on the spot too. At least you didn’t grab it!
was it raisin bread or something? I’m used to places having white bread and such and can’t really see how moles could be mistaken with those crumbs. interesting and embarrassing
Mooole. Mole! Moley, moley, moley, moley, moley!
Hahahahahaha I did this once actually to a famous serial killer’s nephew who happens to be married to a friend. He is the spitting image of arguably The Most Famous Serial Killer To Ever Exist. So anyway just imagine me trying to brush a crumb off his neck and it’s a fucking mole — I about died of awkwardness and he never looked more like Famous Killer Uncle
MOLEYMOLEYMOLEYMOLEY
PLOT TWIST, he KNEW you thought his mole was a crumb and WANTED you to try to brush it off. The mortification on pplz faces is priceless. The crew on his shift is dizzy from laughing.
I really didn’t think it was going to be THAT bad ☠️
Oh he for sure knows you mistaken his mole for a bread crumb lol.
I also have a small mole near my mouth since childhood, which my mom had once mistaken for a crumb of chocolate cake 🤣 I think if you did that to me, I would have laughed and said its not the first time!
I was asked to sign a birthday card at work one year by a lady who was about 70-80 years old. I told her she got blue pen on her face but it was just a vein.
It’s embarrassing but he gave you the out for both of you. Let it go and move on and everything will be okay.
