Honestly what is wrong with me! 😬
Normally so level headed, everyone seems to come up me for advice or with their problems etc (so I can't be that bad) but every now and then my brain just doesn't work and I say the exact thing I shouldn't!!!
For example ...bumped into an acquaintance today who I'd heard a while ago was under scrutiny for having an alcohol problem...this totally was erased from my mind and I just seen them as who I've always thought of them (habit) ...they referenced a lovely few days away and and I wished them well then as they got further across the street I decided to carry on my well wishes and shreek " and dont get too drunk!!"..... what the hell possessed me 🙈
I'm now thinking I've ruined their few days away...although most likely not but bloody hell I need to think.
Anyone else have any foot in mouth moments to share ....selfish reasons on my part 😐

Ah to be fair...I've posted this far too late in the night .. I probably wouldn't have shared if I hadn't had a few glasses (a bottle) of wine and also.. I'm sure others have said alot worse. Right that's fine in my head Grin I can sleep tonight 🤞

I was delivering a training session and all attendees were signing in. One women signed her name then said ‘oops I signed my old married name, sorry I’ve been married four times and I get confused’, she laughed and I laughed. I don’t know what made me say it, but I found myself saying ‘number four, how long will you keep this one before trading him in?’. She looked up at me and said ‘all the others died’.

Floor open up and swallow me now moment. I still feel awful thinking about it, and it was over 10+ years ago.
