Should I be embarrassed about this or am I overthinking..

[MyDogsPaws]

I just met my lovely neighbour( older man) in my local Asda and for some unknown reason, clearly lacking anything better to say and allowing my socially awkward verbal diarrhoea to spew forth, I said the words “oh you look like you’ve got an exciting weekend planned with your wine and sausages” to which he laughed awkwardly and hastily departed. Now I can’t stop thinking about what he thought I meant about the wine and sausages 😬

Does anyone else get in trouble with socially awkward verbal diarrhoea and then overthink it for the rest of their lives?

Actually howling 🤣🤣

At the post "I'd love you to fill my hole"

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That is AMAZING 😂😂😂

Hahah😂😂😂

So British

Someone asked how I was settling in and I said 'Oh all good, I'm totally out of my depth' followed by an awkward silence.

^^

Nothing like self depreciation eh!

Were you being sarcastic? What's so exciting about sausages? I doubt he picked up any sexual innuendo, he was probably awkward because he thought you were implying that he was boring.

People very rarely agonise over what other people have said to them, only the other way round. He won’t have given it a second thought, unless he felt he said or did something awkward too.

Haha this is definitely the sort of thing I’d say! I’m Sure I’ve probably had even more awkward/ embarrassing moments but luckily I’ve removed them from my memory!

This is the sort of idiocy I come out with all the time, half the time I think Im funny, half the time I realise I sounded weird and stupid.

I dread to think what on earth others think, I would rather not know.

I cant seem to stop however!

I get words and phrases back to front all the time and mumble them so it all comes out wrong

Oh I feel you Op. The first time I met my lovely father in law I was a wee but hyper and accidentally compared him to a fat Captain Pugwash. It was NOT my intention and I still fold like paper at the memory.

Nothing, that's the point!

Obviously with this lovely weather you assumed he was having a bbq in the garden with a lovely bottle of wine OP and so what you said makes perfect sense. 😁

@NoIcePlease

I’m dying 😂😂
as a PP said, these are so charmingly British & awkward. Reminds me of something Bridget Jones might say.

Yep this is totally me - my mouth says what my brain hasn’t quite processed yet 😂
And since I was little, I’ve then worried for days/weeks/sometimes years about it.

In my head if your Asda situation had just happened to me, I’d be conjuring up things to mitigate what I had said for next time I see him…..which if it actually happened and I did see him again, I’d say something equally as silly 😂.

Oh these are hilarious. 🤣🤣 Proper belly laughs. Foot in mouth is my default setting. Lines from a Carry On movie invariably pop into my head when i bump into people and i'm trying to be oh so friendly.....

A colleague passed me a coffee and I, absent mindedly said 'Cheers Bigears'. There was an awkward silence, he did look like a wing nut, then I pmsl. I'm usually so thoughtful. He took it very well.

OP you’ve reminded me of one of mine, very similar to yours. Someone from the running club I attend where on a few occasions we’d discussed our differences in what we eat beforehand. He couldn’t eat anything right before training. I always ate something light about 10 mins before the session.

One night when I saw him I greeted him with ‘Oh hi Pete, I was thinking about you earlier when I was eating a banana!’

Why?! Sometimes I think it’s just we say any old small talk and it’s a numbers game, every so often an absolute Frankie Howerd type clanger will come out.

😂😂 hehe that made me chuckle!

Who knows, maybe you were on to something?!

Not my story but a female colleague has accidentally farted standing up in a small office of 3 women and one man. It was a tiny quiet and fast one and none of would have acknowledged it as mature adults but she got flustered and started crying, at which point the younger male colleague had a complete meltdown laughing. And then it was beyond styling it out for her. We loved her even more for it!

I still cringe about a Parents' Evening just before half term in October for the parents of the new intake to see how they were settling. As it was High school we only saw them for 4 lessons a week and I was unlucky enough to have two Year 7 groups meaning I hadn't yet got all their names sorted. When talking to one couple I said that it was hard to recognise them with their clothes on! Obviously I meant they were not in uniform and luckily the parents cracked up laughing!

That made me laugh out loud. Just hilarious!

I don't know if it's just Friday and I'm hysterical anyway, but some of these are laugh-out-loud funny.

Oh I did this with my husband when we first knew each other in relation to him having a shower with me saying " about time " 😬 when I actually meant you've been ages in the shower . 🤦🏻‍♀️
It's something that is often done well in films when someone says something , and they say it all wrong worded .

Everyone does it! I could tell you 100 embarrassing things I’ve said but I can not remember ONE single embarrassing thing someone’s said to me. So my advice, don’t worry about what you said because everyone is too busy worrying about their own faux pas 🤓xx
