Ordered a lovely takeaway.

Delivery driver got lost. Phoned me to check postcode so clever old me started spelling it phonetically... until I got to the last part "Q for Quebec, Y for Wanky"

Yes I said Y for Wanky. Actually Y for Wanky.

I sent DD2 to the door as I couldn't face the poor guy.

Actually dying inside.

What's the most embarrassing f**kup you have made to a random over the phone?

Copied head teacher in on an email, and added a t making him Christ instead of Chris.

Got an email back along the lines of 'thanks for the vote of confidence Grin...'

Injured wood pigeon in my garden. Called vets to find place to take it, late Sunday so only emergencies. Woman on emergency phone: what's happened? Me: I have an injured wood pigeon. Woman: ok can I take a name? Me: sorry I'm not sure, it's not my pigeon, I only just met him.

I realised after a following awkward silence she was asking for my name, not the random pigeons Grin

Grin Love this ! I once went to the vets and when they called my dogs name out, I realised I'd left him at home.

@Bentoforthehorde

I answered the door to a takeaway driver with one of my boobs completely out. I was holding newborn DS and totally sleep deprived. Baby wasn't even feeding. I bet delivery drivers see some crazy stuff.
Oh god I have also done this!!

Quietly breastfeeding DD2 and there was a knock at the door. Popped her down in her Moses basket and went to the door. Postman gave me a strange look. Brought parcel in, looked down and yep there's my leaky milky tit on full view to the entire world.

Fuck, that's funny. 'I only just met him' Grin DID you name the pigeon in the end?

@PurpleFadesToGreen

I mixed up " lovely " and " thank you "

I told a waiter to his face " love you "

I did this to the postman!

I'm sure I've got some to add but can't think at the min.

What a funny, funny thread! Actual LOL's.

@intermittentparps yes, Percy Pigeon 🤣

I get really bad phone anxiety, so the amount of times I've stammered and slurred entire sentences is too many to count. Once answered a caller who was asking after someone else and stuttered through her name like I was tapping away at a marching band drum: "Oh, Nata-Natatata-Tatatana-Natalie??"

I worked in a takeaway after school as a teenager and had to take the phone orders. I once asked someone for their surname twice and couldn't work out what they had said so I asked them to spell it. They laughed which I was confused about until they very nicely spelled it out for me. It was Smith.
