I am sooooo embarrassed ....

[Ghosty]

I just did the most embarrassing thing and I could just curl up and die.
I had to make an important call to a lady I know well but our relationship is strictly business ...
She wasn't in ... so I left a message and then carried on with what I was doing (doing a wee on the toilet )
I noticed there was no toilet paper so called out for my DH to bring me some and then looked at the phone ...
Yup, you guessed it ... I hadn't hung up ... and so at the end of my business message my colleague will hear "Darling, could you bring me some loo paper please ... Oh ... oh my god ... oh shit!" (the last bit being me noticing that I hadn't hung up ...)
I am easily embarrassed at the best of times but this has to be one of the most awful things I have ever done ... I am bright red just thinking about it!
I know I will regret not changing my name for this post ...
Aaaaaaaaaaaaggggghhhhh!

This is not the most embarrassing thing you could possibly have done, though, Ghosty. I have done far more embarrassing thing in my time.

You poor love.

HAHA

LOL!

Can't wait to hear what you did that was more embarrassing Motherinferior....

ps. I assume you can see the funny side of it, Ghosty, or you wouldn't have posted it here!

With any luck her answerphone will have cut your message before nature called.

Console yourself that it could have been more embarrassing - imagine if you had been having a number 2 and there had been the echoing sound track of your bowel contents splish splashing into the bowl, plus the odd accompanying bottom burp..Deathly!!!

I imagine your colleague, if she is vaguely human, would have found it highly amusing and entertaining and will think no less of you!

thats sooo funny!

lol! You've just brightened my day, Ghosty!

LOL. I am sure she will see the funny side...It just shows you are a multi-tasking individual,)

ROFL, Ghosty! Hopefully, your words wouldn't have come over too clearly, if you didn't have the phone to your ear.

I remember reading a newspaper column about children answering the phone. The writer's small child had picked up the phone while the author was on the loo. The caller turned out to be someone Very Posh, a Cabinet Minister or Lord or something, and the columnist caught their child saying "Daddy can't talk to you now. He's doing a poo, its a big one and it will take a long time!" Delightful!

hahahahahaha I thought I was the only person who could embarrass themselves without setting foot outside the front door.

lol Ghosty

seriously I wouldnt worry though, I usually delete my messages when the talking has stopped - because my gran is always doing this. She leaves a message and doesnt put the phone down properly, then goes to make herself a cup of tea and talks to herself etc.

Reminds me of the time I was on a Mindstore course and Jack Black, the presenter (a sort of "positive thinking"/right-brain usage guru), left the stage for a "comfort break". The entire audience of the Royal Concert Hall, a couple of thousand people, listened to the enitre "transaction", as he'd forgotten to switch his mike off, all the way up to the loo flushing.

When he came back on stage, he was cheered. His response.....? "FANtastic!!!"

Ghosty - you'll soon be able to laugh about this, and you never know, it might break down some barriers with this lady and open up new opportunities! .... I'm sure she'll laugh about it too!

LOL LOL LOL!!!

I can't stop thinking about the Naked Gun movie!!

Ghosty, I know this is embarrassing, but it would be much worse if you had done something spiteful or mean - surely you will be forgiven!

LOL Ghosty!

Last night I dreamt I was being chased by giant loo rolls with briefcases
Am very glad to see that I have made you all laugh!
Motherinferior ... you are right, it isn't the MOST embarrassing thing that I have ever done but everything else I blame on youth and alcohol ... this time I was trying to be very professional ... Oh god ... I am cringing again jus thinking about it ....

Bad Luck .... ! At least it provided some light hearted amusement for us saddos !!!

Reminds me of when I was on a coach once and the drivers left their mike on after doing a welcome speech. The whole coach was treated to the story of one of the driver's recent vasectomy complete with graphic colour description of his testicles.

!

Reminds me of when a lady from the Inland Revenue phoned to speak to my dh (he had a meeting with her later that day). He was on the toilet when she rang, I knew he had been waiting for her call so I took the phone up and knocked on the toilet door. He came out saying "I wouldn't go in there for a while if I were you, its a bit smelly".....I hadn't pressed the secrecy button on the phone. DH was VERY embarrassed!!

CLASSIC Ghosty!
ROFL.

My dh answered the phone over the weekend and got

Hello can i speak to
he didn't catch the last name so said speaking hopeing to get them off the phone quicker the caller replyed

sorry to bother you dr it's miss can i have a prescription for cisitis (sorry can't spell) oh my names now mrs * we just got back off honeymoon.

He then had to explain to the poor woman she'd got the wrong number.
