Went to visit DH’s aunt and uncle earlier, we only see them once or twice a year. Lovely people but a little dry and very slightly eccentric.
We arrived, they opened the door, we were probably slightly too ebullient with the ‘hello’s’ and ‘lovely to see you’s’ and I went ahead to uncle and said

‘Ah and look at you with glittery jumper on!!’

They both looked at me really oddly and as soon as I said it I could see that actually the ‘glitter’ was an awful lot of dandruff on his dark jumper.

How I didn’t vomit with shame, I literally stopped breathing. Nothing was said but I genuinely felt weak as I followed them into the lounge.

I then spent the next hour with burning cheeks and desperately trying not to look at the dandruff on his jumper.

Please tell me you’ve done worse…I feel I’ll just thinking about it now 😥😢

Oh God. I still feel a bit sweaty when I think about the time, many moons ago in an office, standing around at a beige buffet leaving do, when I helpfully noticed a stray hair stuck to a colleague's face. I said 'oh you've got a hair stuck to you! Let me get it!' but wasn't able to get a hold of it for ages, to the extent that she laughed: 'Haha! It's probably GROWING THERE isn't it?' Oh how we continued to laugh... until I had a hold of one end, was pulling hard, and it wasn't shifting, and I was suddenly aware that her entire cheek was also being pulled in the same direction as I was pulling the hair, and I had to just replace the hair gently on her face and say 'Yes. Sorry. I think it is attached actually.'

I hate myself for it still, decades on. The only thing that made it better was that she was young and so devastatingly beautiful and well dressed that really, she could have been growing a full Stalin style moustache and would have carried it off perfectly and stylishly.

I should not be allowed in offices. Or in the world.
