AIBU to shrivel up and die of embarrassment?

I got the manager of the carpet store to come out as part of the new carpet I had just had fitted was a different colour to the rest.
He was very polite when he told me it was actually the part of the carpet the mirror shone on to, and then to make me feel even more stupid he stood in front of said mirror to prove his point so I get your embarrassment op

I was that person who called IT to say my camera was broken… nope, I just had the little privacy door shut…

A few years ago I got cat called by a builder as I cycled past a building site on my way to work. Being all grown up, I stopped and gave him a very loud piece of my mind. He and his colleagues were utterly confused and it turned out that he'd just been shouting something work-related to his mate 😳I could have died of embarrassment as I hastily apologised and cycled away, very slowly, up the hill. I had to cycle past them every day after that and the building went on for months.

Ok here's one

Student (me) working in A&E. Cool tattooed male nurse asks little 23 year old me "what did he come in with?" About a patient just admitted from home in an ambulance. "Um, well his pajamas and a dressing gown". No - he meant what condition was he presenting with..aaarrrgghh

How amazing!! 😂😂😂

This is comedy gold and all the other posts show you aren't alone.

I would probably do the same !

This is the best thread ever and it's making me so happy

Oh dear OP. Have a good birthday! At least you've given the Plumber another pub story to recount.

My mother bought a new car - she'd always had second hand and this was a brand new BMW. It was delivered to her and she left on her first drive to the shops. Before she got to the main road, she phoned the garage in a panic that there was something wrong with it as the engine kept cutting out. Lovely garage sent someone out immediately to a distressed elderly lady and informed her that it had new Start/Stop technology and was totally normal.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This gave me a good giggle! I hope the red tint is slowly leaving your face😅

Not near as good as yours but one time I booked my car into the mechanic because the electric windows weren't working. He called me a few hours later to say I could come and collect. He, with a smirk on his face, pointed out that I'd simply leaned on the 'window lock' button🙃 I wanted the ground to swallow me up🙈

🤣I'm sure the turtoises appreciated your care!

Yesterday I was waiting for Sainsbury's to deliver my shopping before I went to work, 7-8am timeslot. 8 o'clock came and went and I was getting more and more annoyed that they hadn't so much as phoned to say they were going to be late. I ranted to DH about how this was the second time they'd kept me waiting, I was going to be late, blah de blah. Opened the email to find the order number so I could phone customer services and spotted that I'd accidentally booked click & collect... Our Sainsbury's is the other side of town so I arrived at nearly 9 and had to explain to customer services before they would bring out my shopping. Eventually got to work just before 10.

Dont sweat it

Our plug circuit kept tripping Sunday

Monday I get home from work , Dh says Ive found the problem - its the pump on the boiler - leaking water into the electrics

Plumber comes out , replaces the pump = all is good

20 mins after hes left, the boiler cuts out

DH then rings an electrician, electrician walks through the door and asks " anyone reset the timer"?

Luckily both plumber and electrician are colleagues of DH

I once called an electrician out because the socket the heater was plugged into wasn't working and there was no on/off switch. Only there was, it was behind a picture higher up on the wall (and I must have seen it when I hung the picture!).

Boooo

That is very fucking funny

Rang my mum in a panic on my first Christmas Day after leaving home as my large turkey didn’t have any meat on it.

the turkey was upside down and I was trying to carve the bottom.

Another one - was an open zoo type place with the kids. Walked past the giant tortoise enclosure which only had a low fence you could easily step over and was shocked to see a family of 5 calmly walking inside the enclosure toward the tortoises. I instantly got the rage and said loudly “What on earth do you think you are doing in there?!!”
Then I saw the Zoo Ranger behind them who was conducting their special guided tour.
They all looked at me with combination of surprise and bemusement and I mumbled some kind of apology and quickly made my exit!

once I kept hearing this beeping noise coming from the cupboard which has the boiler in, so I called up 24/7 my landlord has cover with them, they came out and he found an old carbon monoxide detector the batteries were going 😂 he found it funny and said I wasn’t the first and won’t be the last.

I have a few of these.

Drove to the mechanic unannounced nearly crying begging them to fit me in when I had just had a call to say my mum was ill and I needed to drive 200 miles to see her asap. I explained the engine was making a horrific clinking sound. He dropped what he was doing to discover it was my cutlery clinking around my lunchbag against my glass lunchbox.

Called the electrician for what turned out to be a tripped switch. I don't know how that didn't occur to me.

Accidentally deployed a rape alarm whilst hunting in my bag for change to give a homeless man.

I seriously doubt that she is the only person that has happened to. I can see myself doing that

On my way to work I slung a piece of toast onto the dashboard to eat on the very long commute. All seemed well, I ate my toast in a traffic jam and arrived at work. However, I was annoyed when I had parked and turned to see a chip on the windscreen low down. I called Autoglass, having checked my insurance policy and informed to the work site team they'd be attending, canceled a meeting to meet the guy, feeling very grown up and efficient .....until the man pointed out the "chip" was actually marmalade on the inside of the glass! I was so ashamed of my untidy greed.

Outstanding!

That's a good point! 😄😄
