Do you ever cringe at something you said and it sits with you for days

[mabelineandme]

Have a plasterer over at the moment, relatively attractive and he asked if the noise was ok (I work from home) I said yes it's fine I can't really hear it. My manager knows I have work going on so it's no issue, but I can't really hear the noise.

I don't even know why I mentioned my manager, he doesn't care if my manager knows or not. This happened yesterday and I'm still sat here cringing in my small office hoping I don't have to come back out to face him. Completely pathetic I know 🤣

What? That's not cringe! Perfectly sensible to factor your manager in.

Feel free to let this go from your head, you did not embarrass yourself at all

Xxxx

Days? I have made some random cringe comments to strangers that still pop into my mind decades later.

Oh I do this all the time!!!

Try years... 🤣

Your example sounds fine to me. But mine were probably fine to everyone else. It doesn't help!

You're overthinking this way too much.

You call that cringe?! Lightweight 😆 I occasionally come out with some clangers to mortify all parties and which have made me cringe myself inside out at random intervals over years. You'll be fine op. And so will I.... <winces>

'Have a nice flight' from the duty free shop assistant.

'Thanks, you too'

Yes, I completely understand!

At the park

Woman: kids dont care about presents!
Me: yes they like stickses and box. (Instead of sticks and boxes).

My foot is permanently in my mouth and I dwell on those moments on and off for years! Just reading the title to your thread made me think back to some of my clangers and I’m now blushing at the thought of them.

Try decades.....

I told my client, who is completely visually impaired that her holo glitter nails were going to blind everyone.

I do it all the time. It’s horrid

Once someone told me her name was Lottie and I said "oh my neighbours dog is called that, I always think of it as a dogs name".
What the FUUUUUCK!

On a cringe level I’m literally that Catherine Tate character!

if you know you know ..

Once made a fuss on a walk of this ladys lovely shaggy old english sheepdog - the famous paint company adverts one, beckoned DH over with "aww look at this its a Durex dog"

Doesn't everyone do that?? It doesn't have to make sense!

I get this feeling when I've said something stupid, but also sometimes when I can't think of what I've said to make me cringe. I wrack my brains, but have no idea where the feeling comes from.

I had to ask a customer whether their Father was still alive , to which she said "No" looked teary and added " he passed away last month"
And to which I replied

" that's lovely"

Me to a bald chap I was finishing a conversation with: anyway I’ll get out of your hair now

IMO that barely registers on the cringometer 😊

I’m sat here still thinking of cringey things I said in 2004 🤣

Yup. I still cringe at stuff I said in the 80s

First day at college, teacher said let's go around the room and each say a little something about ourselves. I was a socially anxious mess with zero social skills and blurted out "I like dogs". I looked and sounded SUCH a dick. That was 28 years ago and I'm cringing as I type. There are plenty of other examples, but that's all you're getting.🤐

Yup, decades

Surely everyone watched Men in Black and desperately wanted one of those memory wipeout things just to eliminate the incredibly dumb things you say over a lifetime. Death, where is thy sting? Being able to leave all that behind is why I hope there isn’t an afterlife.

Days???!

I'm still cringing about stuff I said or did DECADES ago.

Glad it’s not just me that remembers embarrassing things for far longer than that

Yes. Usually at 3am, and I lie awake for hours ruminating 😂
