Just bumped into DH’s uncle and aunt in our local supermarket. We don’t see them very often, they are very nice, the uncle is a little odd and very stuffy though.
I made a fuss of aunt, how lovely to see you etc etc and turned to uncle and said ‘ah look at you with a glittery jumper on’ WHY WHY WHY did my mouth say this????

It wasn’t a glittery jumper - he has the most awful dandruff and his blue jumper was literally covered on the shoulders.

Aunt just brushed it over, uncle looked bemused and I could have just died on the spot.

And yes, we kept bumping into them aisle after aisle after that.

I may just have to emigrate or something 🙈🙈

Shop assistant I hadn't seen in a long time.

Me: Hello, haven't seen you in ages
SA: I've been off for a few months
Me: Oooh, that's nice, did you get up to anything nice on your time off?
SA: I had brain surgery

My dad was in the supermarket once. Stopped and went back to get something. Noticed a trail of sugar on the floor. Said to the shop assistant something akin to "Some daft buggar is trailing sugar around the place. Someone could slip" Yes... the trail lead to his bloody trolley.

Oh and my Mum... Saying something to a shop assistant who just carried on with what they were doing and walked off. Mum was rather miffed and said "How bloody rude - ignoring me." I couldnt help but laugh... "Mum... the man is deaf!"

Seeing as I've outed my parents...

I had bought a dress off ebay for an upcoming holiday. Think lacy cocktail dress. Cheap as chips from China. Unpackaged it at work. Colleague stood next to me and another on the phone trying to agree a deal with a customer.

Out falls a fucking G String.. It was not listed in the item description. Colleague on phone starts hyperventilating almost whilst trying to control his laughter.

It was retold for quite some time that I had "dropped my knickers at work" Blush

Met my sister-in-law for the first time and as we embraced to do the air kiss but we both went for different sides and literally ended up kissing directly on the lips 😱

I was once talking to someone and randomly said, btw, love your piercing. It was a big crumb on her lip 😬

We were talking at work about thebkake District. My colleague turned said to another person we worked with on a regular basis and said “have you ever climbed hellvellin you have to be steady on your feet” then he went bright red and realised what he had said
The guy was in a wheelchair
Luckily he saw the funny said and actually said it was great that my collegeue didn’t look at him and see the wheelchair as the main focus

These are so so funny 😂

I used to work for a large tech company and part of my job was teaching accessibility features on iPads etc to groups of disabled customers.
I was once teaching a group of blind and partially sighted customers how to use an iPad and couldn't find the cable I was looking for, without thinking, I turned to a colleague and said 'Am I blind or has the USB been moved?!'

Needless to say I've never quite lived that one down... thankfully my lovely customers saw the funny side!

Very outing so name changed.

I had just had surgery (stitches across my tum) and my sister picked me up at the hospital. The Dr told her to run down to the pharmacy to get my prescription before she retrieved me, so that I would't have to wait in a wheelchair while she got it (could stay in the bed and wait instead).

As we drove home in the car, she told me that the pharmacist had had a bit of trouble finding the prescription that the Dr had called down and he asked her the name of the prescribing Dr. She told him she thought it was Dr Dicks. I started dying of laughter and trying not to pop my stitches, it hurt so much. She was confused and going 'What? what?'. So I had to tell her my Dr's name was Dr Cox. She said the pharmacist never batted an eyeGrin. She was mortified. I told her 'Hey it was close enough'Wink (yes I am the bratty little sister)

I once came out if a McDonalds loo at an M1 services and said to the toilet attendant that the loos were a disgrace and that the first toilet needed a good clean. The trouble was he wasn’t a toilet attendant he was a customer just wearing a short sleeved blue shirt with a tie. He just said ok....I had walked off by then leaving my dh and him looking at each other!

Lol.

Haha, what makes this so funny is that it was a genuine mistake. I feel your embarrassment but I hope you can find the funny side of it.

Jenna Coleman was interviewed in the Guardian this weekend and divulged her embarrassing story about buying a sandwich at a railway station.

She explained: “The man said to me: ‘Do you want to go for a drink?’ I said, ‘I am so sorry, I’ve got a boyfriend.’

“And he replied, ‘No, it’s a meal deal: if you take a sandwich, you can get a drink as well.'
