Imagine working so much overtime that you don’t even know where you are anymore.

Apparently, it can happen, because it happened to the retail worker in this story.

Keep reading to see how the customers reacted to her confusion.

Ever been at work for so long you forgot where you were?

So, for context, I work in a craft store. I’ve been there for about a month and I’m new to retail.

The other night, I was working overtime, pulling about a 9 1/2 hour shift. At this point, I was on hour 7. I hadn’t taken a break, and I was feeling hangry.

Another coworker helped out.

So, I’m working the floor and a couple of people ask me where a particular item is.

I’m unsure where it’s at, so I ask someone on my walkie.

I’m told by another coworker what section it’s in and take the customers there.

She wasn’t being as helpful as she thought.

While I’m there, they mention that the item they want isn’t the size they want. Everything we have is too big.

So, I say, “Have you tried [store I work at]?”

One of them responds, “We’re in [store I work at].”

She was clearly confused.

For a moment, I’m completely baffled, then snap back to reality and say, “Oh, I’m so sorry. I meant to say ‘Have you tried [this other craft store] or [that other craft store]?’

I’ve been here for so long that I literally forgot where I was.”

Luckily, they were polite about my brain fart, but I’m so embarrassed I did that.

That’s funny! Sounds like she’s been working too hard and desperately needs a break.

Let’s see how Reddit responded to this story.

It’s even worse for this flight attendant.

Another person forgets what day and time it is.

Here’s a story that happened at a grocery store.

This woman even thinks she’s working when she’s sleeping.

This is how you know you need a break!
