So I bought my shopping in Tesco...as you do....said thank you to the cashier when she gave me the receipt and my brain couldn't decide whether it wanted to say 'you're welcome' or 'no problem' so instead it shouted quite loudly to the cashier and the whole queue behind me ...

'YOU'RE THE PROBLEM'

I just stood there, with us all looking uncomfortable and not knowing what to say .... plus a few sniggers behind.

What is the worse thing you've said without meaning to ?????

I bought some frozen food from a little specialist shop not far from me and as the owner was handing me my change and bag, I went to say "Lovely, thank you" except I said "Love you" 😂

Many moons ago, in my late teens, someone brought a bowler hat into the office and at the end of the day (luckily most had left), I picked it off the hat stand and threw it across the desks, mimicking a Bond villain called Oddjob who would decapitate his victims with his bowler, shouting out his name, but unfortunately I got mixed-up with another character called Blofelt... I hid under the desk for a bit😬

🤣🤣that's hilarious!

was in a restaurant with DH and my 2 DC.

When I was ordering I asked for the “ducky”….

I wanted the duck. 😂

I remember we having a conversation with someone, face to face, work related, who I’d never met before.. and soon realised she had a pronounced lisp… when she stopped talking, she asked me a question and I inadvertently replied ‘yeth’ …. Not my finest hour 🙄🙄🙄

Delivery man : "hello"
Me: yes. You?

Years ago when travelling around Australia I was working at a holiday park in reception. The phone rang and instead of answering the usual way of good afternoon big4 wye river, I said good afternoon, big4wyeriver.com.au...
I was met with an awkward silence on the other end 😅

Haha, I’ve got a few! Have posted one of them on a similar thread, but it still makes me laugh so I’ll share it again Grin

I had a complete self-editing fail when diagnosing a patient with sweat rash, and confidently announced that he had ‘chub rub’. I was horrified at myself, but he thankfully found it hilarious. I apologised profusely and blamed baby brain!

The Asda driver came to the gate and instead of saying “hello”, I saw a tin of baked beans in the crate he’d brought to the gate with him as I opened my mouth to speak, and instead greeted him with an almost expressionless “beans”.

Called my dog in from the garden, but inexplicably shouted “Molly!”…he is a boy, his name isn’t Molly, and have never even had a pet named Molly. He came in anyway Grin

Just ‘beans’ 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I came late out of college once, jumped into the passenger seat of my mums car, started belting myself a in while saying “we need to get home I really need a poo” to look up and find, in fact, it was not my mums car.

meanwhile, my actual mum, had just pulled into the carpark none the wiser. I just hopped right back out hoping I would never, ever see them again at pickup.

Omg I am literally crying with laughter. That is hilarious!! 🤣🤣🤣

When I was 16 I worked in a shop, busy serving on the till a lady came and asked if we sold Brasso. I directed her while I was serving and said if she couldn't find it I will be there in a minute.
She was struggling, I went up to help her, she said (what I heard) 'oh thank you, I put some in my mums coffee'...my response 'oh god, is she ok?'...a really shocked and confused response of 'no she's dead'.....my confused response 'I'm so sorry, did you say you put some in your mums coffee'... 'no, I said I need it to clean my mums coffin'. I wanted to crawl... As she actually heard 'I need it to clean my mums coffin' ... 'Oh god is she OK?'
Didn't even know cleaning a coffin was a thing.

Also ID'd a 13 year old for a bottle of olive oil. Think retail is pleased I left it.

Worked in a call centre, was asking a customer some questions, when I'd finished I tried to say "lovely" and "thank you" and came out with "love you" 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

HeadOverHeel · 23/09/2024 23:04

Was in a boring work meeting once secretly texting my dp. It got a bit racy and he messaged "Oh yes and then I will spank your mum"😳 He did quickly write "bum" but it was too late, I was in pieces😂

This is not mine, but one of my MN favourites from @MrsMarigold

I went on many catastrophic dates in my day but the worst was with a toff called Giles, it was a second date. We went to a restaurant in Chelsea and during the course of the meal I was struck down with horrendous diarrhoea - I went to the loos but there was no loo paper so I just thought I'd wing it and headed back to the table. Dinner continued until he leaned over and said in a hushed tone "Darling are you ok? you smell faintly of botty." Needless to say I paid up and fled into the night.

Work colleague once asked a caller [who was chasing up an email] if they'd checked thier spunk mail folder. His mind couldn't decided whether it wanted to say spam or junk. We were pissing ourselves laughing ...

Posted this on another thread but here’s my embarrassing story :
I had just moved towns and was going to a wedding so decided to treat myself to a spray tan , I’d never had one before . The beautician told me to remove my clothes and passed me a paper like hat to put on and said she’d be back in 5 minutes . I got fully naked and put my hat on . It’s even had holes for your ears .
Beautician knocked on door and asked if I was ready . I was stood there naked with my hat on and she burst out laughing . It wasn’t a hat I was wearing it was paper knickers . Put me off spray tans for life !

NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

We were on holiday and DH was trying to get our soon to come out of the pool.

He shouted 'Andy, time to come out!'

Our son isn't called Andy. Or anything like it.

some one at work asked my mum if she had any children “yes I have my daughter philsmajichat, my other daughter sarah and my son David” my brother is not called David, not called anything like David and there are no David’s in my family. She then said “no, he is not called David. He is called…..” person looked at her like she was mad

I once went for an interview and me and the person who was interviewing me both arrived at the reception desk at the same time, so we ended up doing this awkward handshake whilst standing sideways to each other. It was so awkward I actually ended up shaking his thumb, and throughout the interview I just kept getting cringey flashbacks of it!

Umanresources · 23/09/2024 23:16

I was pushing a shopping trolley and every time my OH came near, I got a shock from the static electricity. After about the fifth time I shouted really loudly, “Will you stop touching me!” Both of us were really embarrassed.

BeardofHagrid · 23/09/2024 23:17

I go deaf when nervous. So if someone has asked me a question I just stare at them blankly, mouth probably agape. That’s quite embarrassing sometimes.

Yourinmyspot · 23/09/2024 23:17

Mine was at school. In year 10 we used to have some people in to talk about careers. They would pick one of us to stand up at the end and say thank you. This particular week they chose me. I was really nervous and kept going over it in my head ‘thank you for coming and giving up some of your time’. What I actually said was ‘thank you for coming and wasting your time’. I was mortified luckily they and the teachers saw the funny side but I was so embarrassed and never lived it down!

I love this though, it's such a human response, I get it in school too " mammy"

My ex husband and l's first house was a Victorian terrace.
It desperately needed a new kitchen, so we got someone out from a local kitchen firm to plan one for us. I took the guy out to the kitchen, had a chat about drawers, larder unit, where l wanted the hob and oven, etc.
He gets all his paperwork and brochures out, and a tape measure (this was the days before laser measures, etc).
I'm standing there chatting away, looking at the brochures, while he's measuring and making notes, and he starts to measure the longest bit of worktop.
So, thinking l'm being helpful, I say "Would you like a hand?"
And then l notice one of his hands is small, and not fully formed. I could have DIED on the spot.
Poor man. I couldn't look at him after that.
We did use his firm, though, and he did an amazing kitchen plan for us.

Bless you OP 😂 It happens to the best of us! Take heart from what I assume are going to be some highly amusing responses.

My nightmare moment, that I still cringe thinking about, was suggesting we organise an outing for a group of young people to the ‘Hard Cock Rafé’, rather than the Hard Rock Café. For context, this was a work situation with people I didn’t know well enough for it to be laughed off and it was received with stony silence 😱

Omg some people are such downers. I would have laughed.

I don't know what I was thinking. We still get the same guy sometimes and even now he looks slightly wary just in case I have more musical theatre moves up my sleeve Grin

I can’t stop laughing at this one, I am quite literally crying with laughter 😂
