I needed to buy first aid bits and bobs to take on holiday. Popped into Boots and it was one of the mega sized ones, so I asked an assistant.
What I meant to say was ‘where do you keep the first aid things?’
What I did say was ‘where are the air traffic controllers?’
😭😭😭
She actually backed away from me 😭

Oh my god. Think my mugshot must be pinned to the counter in Boots

I don't understand this at all. Am I missing something?

I popped into a pharmacy to pick up a prescription, the assistant told me it would be a half an hour wait. I said "We will come back later to pick it up." It was only after I left that I realised what I said as my husband was waiting in the car. 🙃

On a similar note to Woof, I had a parcel delivered by amazon. The delivery man was the tallest person I have ever seen in my life. I intended to say “thank you” as he handed me the parcel but I just shouted “tall man!” Before slamming the door. My husband watched him walk back to his van from the upstairs window and said he looked very perplexed.
