Went to the shops this afternoon and the lady who served me had a lazy eye. We were having a bit of small talk about the flowers I was buying when she leaned down behind the counter to get a flower bag and a pen fell out of her shirt so I told her:

"Oh, you've dropped your eye."

To which she said, "Sorry?" and I said it again, then realised what I'd said so corrected myself and said sorry, I didn't get much sleep last night and keep getting my words mixed up, but she gave me a Hmm and stopped chatting to me.

I feel horrible. Sad

I told DS to "give the man the money" in a shop before realising it was actually a woman. Very embarrassing.

I once announced that a friend had had sex with all her friends in front of someone else. What I meant was that she only had sex with friends, ie no one night stands with strangers but I made it sound like she'd shagged everyone she knew. She wasn't happy. Blush

My colleague once said while serving a gorgeous looking lad "do you want a shag? I mean BAG, BAG, I mean do you want a BAG?!"

I laughed, the lad laughed but my colleague went bright red and wondered away muttering "oh god" under her breath Grin

'a hand'

'I didn't see you'

Sorry, but another who just laughed. I have also done this before and it is horrifying.

I once said to DS at a till (he was buying chocolate and trying to give the cashier the money before it was scanned)

"don't give your money to the chocolate man" Obviously meant - "don't give your money to the man, give your chocolate to the man"

MimsyBorogroves · 07/06/2013 18:33

Sorry, but I'm laughing. Laughing in sympathy because most days I don't know how I manage to talk through the giant foot in my mouth.

I cringed at work serving a very short man, when he asked for a coffee .I said 'just a small one?'

I usually ask 'large or small?'

ALannisterAlwaysPaysHerDebts · 07/06/2013 19:18

The worst thing is we both knew and I couldn't say anything as it would only of highlighted my faux pas, so we just looked into each-others eyes for about ten seconds.

ALannisterAlwaysPaysHerDebts · 07/06/2013 19:19

Usual- Glad I'm not the only one with the short gags.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 07/06/2013 19:22

Ohhhh dear Grin

Mine: was at the hair-dressers, and he asked what I wanted (wet cut, dry cut, blow dry etc). "Just a wet cunt please."
