So embarrassed I wanted to die.

[Katkins17]

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 ?????

OMG this is the sort of thing I'd do with a client! I'm mortified on your behalf 😂

Also the IT bloke I used to work with when I went to our Amsterdam offices. He said he was going to visit Scotland soon and I made some lame joke about counting your fingers if you shake hands with a Scotsman (yes, sorry, to those north of the border!)

He just said 'no worries, I have already met him' and held up a hand clearly missing 3 fingers which I had NEVER noticed in 5 years of working with him!

And also my dear old Mum who loudly declared that 'Cafe Nerd' was a stupid name for a business .

She was opposite Cafe Nero

When a neighbour across the street asked if id taken in his parcel as we have the same door number and similarly sounding street name I said no.... But I once stole your bin.
Then closed the door in his face
I don't know why I said it

Ha ha ha ha 😂@Bananasatchristmas

Enjoy. 😁

i did quite a good one today / was taking to a workmate about her DC’s next academic steps post-16, got distracted then said ‘I’m just checking my A levels!’ I mean E-mails 😆 not embarrassing but this is how it happens for sure.

Really fancied a guy at work but always got flustered when he was around. They provided a fruit basket at work and he kindly asked if I wanted him to go & get some for me. I said yes please & meant to say something like 'good to get a bit of exercise' but instead I said 'you need the exercise '. He replied 'oh thanks'. 🤭

I've mentioned this before but I'd just finished a particularly hard, sweaty class at the gym. I went to get a paper towel, wiped my face and as I went to put it in the bin, a chap reached over to get some but touched my paper towel. I exclaimed "ooh you touched my sweaty rag"!!!! I pissed myself laughing afterwards but also wanted to die....

"I love anal!" I was working with a woman who said that she was happy to do the organising when it came to a course we were running - "I'm quite anal aboutorganising things," she said, and so I just blurted this out!!!

I once told the receptionist at our doctor's surgery that my toddler was covered in chicken nuggets.... I meant chicken pox.

First time round a friend's house for coffee - she said "my old man's upstairs asleep" to which I replied "Oh does your dad live with you?"
I had never heard the phrase before, and was absolutely mortified!!! We still laugh about it now years later 😂

A young v serious male salesman came into my office and I cheerfully (in that over-tired but still making an effort on limited resources kind of way) shouted, “Right, show us your bits!” Then at his shocked face I burst out laughing hysterically and couldn’t stop. So I made it even worse. Must get more sleep.

Oh this, dozens of times 🙈

God also at work I remember replying to my boss’s email that I was too ‘busty’ to meet that afternoon. And signed the email ‘love you xxx’ I could see him across the office as he received it.

So I was working in an office on the customer service helpline.
Instead of declining their request by saying, 'no I can't I'm afraid', what I actually said was, 'no I can't I'm frightened'.
Never left my memory! 😂

That, she did! Ha ha

At an aunt’s funeral a few years ago I said to my cousin’s partner “Oh, Brian, I almost didn’t recognise you with trousers on.” Just to clarify, he usually wears shorts and I’d never seen him in long trousers before.

At least you didn't say 'love you, bye' to a man you were on your way to meet for a first date as a reflex on the phone...

We are now in a relationship and I do love him but he does love to remind me that I said I love you first...

On vacation in Mexico walking by the pool one lady asked me for the time I replied " tag heuer says 2 20". Mortified I scuttled back to my girlfriend and told her what happened . What a tosser I think the reply was. Spent the rest of the vacation avoiding the said lady. To this day I've no idea why I said that. Plonker that I am. Dohh

Ahh these have made me lol. I once met a friend out with her lovely new baby and proud husband. Had known her and her previous BF for years beforehand. Rushed up and said ‘aww gorgeous baby. Looks exactly like previous BF’s name’ 🙄. Cue incredulous look from my friend and slightly ‘surprised’ look from her husband……I wanted ground to swallow me……..(especially as they were all still friends)……
