I just said 'bye bye. love you lots'

[AmyDudley]

on the phone to the garage mechanic who has just done my MOT when he phoned to tell me when to get the car.

Why? Why did I do that ? he will think I am mad won't he? He already thinks I'm odd because my mileage is so low because I just pop to the shops and back in the car.

My DD was in the hallway and overheard me and was wetting herself.

Every day I find new ways to embarrass myself.

I have had customers say love you on the phone before hanging up, he'll just be amused

Ha ha ha ha ha. brilliant. you probably made his day.

Best possibly type of faux pas.

I think it's sweet and u made his day!

When my car got through last year just before Christmas with no extra work needed I went back with a box of mince pies for them all to share

I put 2 kisses xx on an email to a new head of year that I’d never met … he still won’t look at me 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣

I very occasionally answer the phone on automatic pilot…’Police Emergency how can I help’. I left that job 8 years ago. Must terrify the customers in my current (not in any way related) private company role 🙈

I love this sort of thing.

I once said to a chap on an insurance phone line - Thank you darling boy - I just meant to say thank you but distracted by one of my dogs.

I've had clients ts say 'love you, bye' loads old times and have done the same. Its just the brain on autopilot I think.

It's definitely auto pilot - it was because I was expecting a phone call from my sister and so I was in 'family' mode . I hope it did make his day - it made my Daughter's day !

I was away with the fairies the other day in a shop, so when the cashier said, 'do you want the receipt?' I mangled together about four different unrelated answers, something along the lines of, 'no thanks, you? I'm very well, thank you, yeah, no, yeah, um, bye.'

I once asked a friend of mine if she “needs a wee-wee” before we went out.

I was working in a nursery at the time, and also looking after my younger brother, so my brain was just in kid-mode.

These things do happen, but it’s always a little mortifying!

Thanks for the laugh OP!

I once called my first boss Dad by accident

I once handed my boss a cup of tea and told her to use both hands because it was very full. I was still in mum mode. Oops.

I'm glad others do it too - makes me feel a bit less bonkers

Actually now I think about it someone did it to me - it was my doctor, I was just leaving his surgery and he said ' bye babe' then looked very flustered.

I would need to leave my car there forever

Sooo funny thanks for the giggle. Yes he will think it is his lucky day or you are quite mad. I used to work years ago for a company and had to use the radio controller thingy (brain fog can't think of name of it) and was used to saying over and out at end of conversation with boss and workmen. So another day on the phone to a customer or something and ended up saying over and out. They must have thought I was from mars. Bet he can't wait to see you.

If he's anything like my mechanic he'll be completely oblivious - don't worry!

😂😂😂

Love it! Presumably he told you the car was all fine and didn’t need any work and he thinks you’re just so happy with that 😂

I once winked at the deputy head, as we shook hands after having a meeting about my child's behaviour.

I'm still cringing years later.

Although when I worked at the cinema I used to tell every customer ‘enjoy the movie’ and at least twice a shift someone would say ‘you too’ then shuffle off looking embarrassed.

It's the adult equivalent of calling the teacher mun

My accountant asked if I needed the loo before leaving to travel home. Could understand it if his kids were little but the youngest was 18!

My first 'proper' job, my completely useless boss had the same first name as my DB.

He was being particularly useless one day, and I was totally exasperated. This manifested itself as me bellowing his name in full pissed off sister voice instead of my intended professional tone.

I'd never seen him move so fast

😂
