What have you done that still haunts you?

When I was training to be a nurse in our first year we had to do a few weeks in various different environments. One of my placements was in a preschool and I was really, really loving it. Until after about a week when one of the teachers asked for a quiet word and said that a couple of parents had complained that I’d called their children a nonce. I apologised and said I didn’t realise it would upset anyone and what should I call them if they are being a bit of a nonce. I then remember teacher looking at me as if I had gone mad and said ‘Um, what do you think a nonce is?’ I thought it meant a nitwit/ silly billy/ a bit daft . That was over 15 years ago now and I still get cold sweats thinking about it.

I have toothache and can’t sleep so please someone tell me something you’ve done that is more embarrassing than that.

@Haypanky My granddad did the exact same. He never swore and suddenly called someone a twat. DM and I said "you can't say that", he said "I can say what I want he is a twat"... took us a while to get to the bottom of that one!

20 years ago I was backpacking in SE Asia.
I was staying in a hostel in Singapore and on the third night the manager came into our dorm at 1am, woke us all up and demanded to know who hadn't paid as there was a girl insisting she had but there was no bed for her.
I realised it was me, but he was really angry and aggressive so when everyone else swore they'd paid, I did too and described the guy I paid, I said he'd not given me a receipt.
The manager started ranting he was useless and would be getting the sack, but he believed me.
I feel awful that I got 7 people woken up and yelled at, a guy sacked and a girl having to find somewhere to stay late at night.

I turned up at school with DS for breakfast club, waiting for the gate to open. There was another parent and their kid already waiting, so I said hi and we all stood waiting together in the small area outside of the gate.

Then I realised it was an actor who used to be in Eastenders and got a bit flustered. At the same time, DS found a coin on the floor and asked me to look at the date, so I said "2000 - oh, the year you were born DS!" and he said "No it wasn't, I was born in 2005."

Even worse I replied "oh that's right, it was the millennium in 2000, I knew it was something."

I joined a running club few years ago and i arrived in the leisure centre promptly and the guy in charge arrived. It was a lad id gone down on😳 whilst both of us drunk at a party 25 yrs ago. Jeez i wanted to die.

Frangipane... Did you meet her?

My work colleagues were once discussing a local murder case at lunchtime. The murderer was my DDad's friend and fellow mason. The victim was, unfortunately, a not nice lady in some of the things she chose to do and say, but obviously didn't deserve what happened to her.

I may have commented negatively about her not nice nature and made it sound like she did deserve it. I was properly embarrassed and haven't forgotten that moment, nearly 20 year later

blackandpurple I had similar when a man coming round to do a quote for some building work turned out to be someone I’d shagged for a few months. It was the only ‘relationship’ I’ve had where it was just sex, he was absolute filth. The last time I’d seen him (about 15 year previously) he’d shagged me in the back of his Ford Fiesta 😂. I was only when he actually gave me his business card after I’d shown him what work I wanted doing that I recognised him . He was pissing himself laughing saying that he bet I’d have recognised him immediately if he’d turned up naked. I’m a frumpy Cath Kidston wearing mum these days, I forget that I used to enjoy a good shag in the back of a car.
