A bit of a fun thing to do in the run up to Christmas.

What is the most embarrassing thing you have said out loud or someone around you has said out loud.

For me in was in America in a target store. I was 20 and with my American friend. We were in the stationary isle and they had some amazing erasers. I very loudly shouted to my friend in the adjacent row "OMG come over here and check out these rubbers!! This one smells amazing!" It was very loud and not hidden at all. A few people looked at me funny and I was none the wiser. My friend very abruptly came over to me, took me away and told me what I had just said 😳😳

Tell me I'm not the only one who's mouth just runs away!! 😂😂

My grandma once was at mothers union (a religious thing) and was talking to a group of members including the Vicars wife. Someone made a comment about someone on the tv to which she replied “He’s such a wanker!” Everyone was gobsmacked. My grandma didn’t realised that when grandad was shouting at the house races “come on you wanker” it wasn’t a positive thing haha

I popped in to see my stepmum at the family business and found her chatting to some regular customers. She introduced them as such and such bloke and his mother. “I’m not his mother, I’m his partner” said the woman, hugely offended. My poor stepmum’s face... I just excused myself and left her to deal with it grin

I went to our village meeting once regarding new houses being built. It was all very nice, we got nibbles and wine and the parish councillors were there.

One in particular was very friendly and I guessed I must have seen him out and about with my kids at the park.

It was then I chose to say "oh yes, I see you at the park with your grandchild!".

Nope. He is in fact just a slightly older Dad with grey hair.

He creased up laughing and my husband reminds me about this exchange on a weekly basis.

I used to take my mother to Scarborough for a few days every year, there's a fish and chip restaurant called Wackers, I used to call it wankers.

My very naive WI type mother, told her friends who were visiting Scarborough to be sure to go to wankers for fish and chips.

I was in big trouble when someone explained it to her.

Last week I went to put something in the bin and my elderly neighbours shouted
"Karma is that you?"
Yes.
I've got something for you but I can't bring it round because I've got shingles.
Oh dear!
Can you come and pick it up?
Sorry,no I don't want to enter your house I might catch something.
What do you mean?my house is perfectly clean.
Yes,I know,but I'm only just recovering from a cold I don't want to pick up any germs.
Silence.
Look,I'll come to your front door and pick it up but won't come in.
Suit yourself(in pissed off tone)
So I go and knock on the door.
I'm sorry you're ill,do you need any shopping or anything?
I'm not ill.
Well,shingles is very unpleasant.
Whose got shingles?
You have!
No I haven't!
Oh,is it Fred then?
Is what fred?
Has Fred got shingles?

Whose got shingles then?
(Clearly annoyed neighbour)
Nobodies for bloody shingles!
But you said....
No I didn't.
Oh.
Silence.then...
I said,I can't come round due to the shingle.
Me,flummoxed.
She points to my drive where two bags of slate have been delivered.
I wouldn't get past the shingle on your drive!
Oh.well I'm glad you're ok.
🙉😀

I called my toddler tinsel tits this week. In the middle of a supermarket.

God only knows why. I make up silly names for the and tried going festive. I’m not going there again.

Walking along my street with toddler DD. Passed a neighbour, DD piped up 'is that my Daddy?'
DH and I very much together, then and now.
Could hear neighbour guffawing as I shuffled off. My face must have been a picture.
