A few years ago I went in to my office late in the evening to do some server updates and found one of my female colleagues sitting at her desk working stark naked. So as to appear cool I said "Hi [name redacted], what are you working on?" She screamed and hid under her desk. I then noticed her clothes spread over a table under a ceiling fan with another fan on full power also blowing on them. It turns out she had tripped and fallen into a fountain nearby and thought the office would be a quiet place to come and dry out all her clothes and she could get some coding done while waiting.

I said, "Sorry if I startled you." and then sat at my desk and started work, deliberately having my back to her and positioning myself so she could get to her clothes without being in my line of sight. She went to get her clothes, checked them - still wet - stood for a while and then went back to her desk and continued work. We were like that for about two hours then I said, "I'm going to get a coffee" and went down the corridor to the kitchen area. I got coffee, hung around for a couple of extra minutes, then went back to the office. She was at her desk, fully clothed, working away for a couple more minutes and then got up and left, "Good night!".

The following day she explained what had happened with the fountain and thanked me for my discretion. Sometimes I look back and wish I hadn't been so discrete! Oh well!.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
