Dropped Coffee

Submitted by Anonymous

At the start of the interview, the Manager gave me a cup of coffee. Another employee asked her a question and she turned away from me and answered the employee. At the same time I sat down and dropped my coffee right into a box of papers and files she had on my side of her desk. I hurried up and picked up my cup, acted like I had finished it and threw the paper cup away when she turned back to me. The papers in the box had to have been ruined. I didn't know what to do, so I didn't say anything about it. The box was on the floor on my side of the desk, and she had no idea I dropped my cup in there. No big shock - I didn't get a 2nd interview or the job!
