Most embarrassing thing you've said - lighthearted

Inspired by another post!

What's the most embarrassing thing you've said by mistake?

I used to work in a job in which I referred to labour markets, more than once I said labia markets 😳

Another time I'd just got into work in the morning and a particularly upbeat colleague came over. I meant to say in a joking way "I don't like talking to people in the morning!" - instead, I had a big old brain fart and said quite seriously "I don't like you" 🙈 stunned myself into silence. Colleague was a bit taken aback but I think he saw the funny side. Thing is, I do quite like him so I don't know where it came from!

Let's hear yours!

I walked into a packed hairdresser - one of those sit and wait places. Hairdressers all busy with clients and people waiting, and loudly asked if anyone this afternoon would have time to give my minge a quick trim.

Fringe.. for the love of god

Just this morning I called to check details about a dental procedure and I had called the gym…

I got a good way into the call before they stopped me too. Mortified.

@Everyothernamewasalreadyinuse haha nearly woke my sleeping baby laughing at that!

@Upthenorth at least it wasn't an intimate procedure you were calling about! 😅

Many moons ago when l was a teenager, my best friend and l were going to a lot of gigs by the same musicians.
We got to know them quite well and got invited backstage a few times (all above board, they were perfect gentlemen) and they treated us like old friends.
This particular occasion we were talking to the one l liked (okay, had the raving hots for, he was drop dead gorgeous) and l mentioned a song he'd played on which was my favourite.
I meant to say that l liked the 'crescendo' bit. But l didn't.
I announced that l 'loved the orgasm bit'.
I was absolutely mortified. His face! He managed to hold it together until my bestie burst out laughing, then he went completely.
I just wanted the floor to open up and swallow me.
He was very kind, bless him. He hugged me and said "Don't worry, love, l knew what you meant!" but he was still laughing. Can't blame him, really.
My mate's never let me forget it. Talk about a Freudian slip....
