Man accidentally sends explicit pictures to his HR manager... twice

A hapless lothario managed to do himself out of a job, when he accidentally sent explicit pictures to his new HR manager.

According to the Chicago Tribune, a local company made a firm offer to a potential employee via text message, but the man somehow managed to mix up the number of the HR manager with that of a girl he was trying to seduce.

When the woman ignored his initial advances, the man, perhaps thinking the intended target of his sexting had not (literally or figuratively) got the picture, decided to send a second snap of his genitals.

And when she still didn't respond he made the mistake of calling her, exposing his identity to the HR manager, who called the police.

"There was a conditional offer of employment made to this particular applicant," Michael Ruth, the police chief involved with the case, told the Tribune.

"He texted the HR director and sent a nude photo of himself."

The HR manager decided against pressing charges, but the man has since been warned by police to avoid any further contact with the woman in question - and he also lost out on that new job.

"My understanding is they've rescinded the offer of employment," Ruth added.
