Whitewashing Problems

Melissa, a humor in the workplace student, offers this example of how humor saved a situation and dissolved a crises:


"One time while painting my house, I sent my son up the ladder to paint the side trim. He had the whole gallon of paint that he was holding by the handle while making his way to the top of our three story house.

Just as he got to the top the handle broke and sprayed the opposing trim color all over the side of the newly painted house.

We could have been furious at the result but our humor saved the day; we busted out laughing and quickly got the hose and sprayed him as well as the house to fix the newly created problem."
