Well, have discovered one disadvantage of being a working Mum!

[chipmonkey]

When a patient, an adult, grown-up patient, new to contact lenses managed to put his contact lens in first go, I exclaimed "Good boy!"
Please tell me I'm not the only one to have done things like that!

Hahahahahaha!

I am famous in my office for taking a carload of engineers down the M11 and pointing animatedly at the roadworks:

'Look - diggers!'

I think they were interested actually, just too embarassed to admit it.

I was having a bit of a heated argument/difference of opinion with my colleague and I called her Esme (my dd's name)...

I was showing members in my WW class how the scales work and saying you type in the word of food you want, and I said puh ah ss tuh ah, instead of pee ay ess tee ay.

This is what happens when you have a 5 year old learning to read at home

Oops

I took the hand of my head of department to help him across the road.

He is in his 50s. He knows how to cross roads.

chipmonkey - could have been worse. If he'd refused to try them were you going to send him to the naughty step?

I haven't done much at work of too terrible a nature but I have tried to put dh's jumper on for him more than once!

Hmmm, there's an idea, the naughty step!

Brilliant thread! Really cheered me up this evening! Looking forward to my own accidents....

excellent

Libra that has really made me laugh, i'm guessing he was a bit startled.

Im forever calling people "sweetie"

Colleague and I do threaten (only between ourselves) to put people on the naughty step. I also find toddler taming tips work well on dealing with my bosses boss

really funny. I'm starting back to work next week after being off for 3 years (with DD2), it makes me think It won't be as hard as I thought

Libra - the question is, did he pull away straight away, or let his hand linger...? Great story!

On that finest moments of my illustrious career thread in classics an aneasthetist put an adult patient to sleep with the words 'it's sleepy time now darling.'

Always make me smile

I quite often say "night night" when im dropping the boys off at school, they generally at me

Brilliant! Well they do say that if you go under in a good mood you'll wake up cheerful, so maybe it did some good!

When chivvying a class of year six children along I frequently say "quick sticks".
