Ever wished you'd really not said something?

Went to the local Co-op.......went to checkout and gave the nice man my money. I'm standing there as he apparently wrestles with a bag of change.

Him: Sorry about this, either I'm getting weaker or they're making the bags stronger.

Me: Don't worry, I think my knicker elastic is stronger than me.....

He looked horrified and the child in the queue behind me looked traumatized

I'm not going back to the Co-op again................

LOL @ you Crafty!

[dothawkes31]

did you add LOL to that? : )

[bibblebub]

I was that child and I'm frightened to go to sleep in case the bad dreams come back again.

[craft1948]

I can only apologise bibble......dot is quite right as I obviously thought I was on here.

Many moons ago someone asked me - what gives?
Yep, I replied - knicker elastic.

I was at a conference once and had a rant about this bloke being a total idiot and taking us all for a ride etc, etc - and I was sat next to his son! OMG, I would have loved the ground to have opened up. Luckily he saw the funny side of it as he thought his Dad was a bit of a Snag as well.

I remember queueing to pay at a sandwich bar one lunch time, when a gorgeous blonde girl walking by on the other side of the street distracted me. I looked around, and realised the lady was waiting for my money. "Sorry," I said. "I was just looking at the blonde girl over there ..." and the guy three people behind me in the queue said "YEAH, SO WAS I !!!" obviously about three times louder than he meant to - and the entire queue turned and looked at him. Poor guy nearly self-combusted with embarassment!

Snag - where did that come from? I didn't say snag, but you get the idea (sorry ed, didn't think it was that rude).

I bumped into someone I hadn't seen in a while and joyfully congratulated her on being pregnant. 'I'm not', she said. 'I'm just fat!'. Yikes!

One occasion I will never regret is when I went with a female colleague to a business meeting and met a superbly arrogant mcp. He accused my colleague of suffering PMT and said to me - you know what that means do you? I replied - yes, punch my testicles. He backed away pretty sharpish.

[craft1948]

sh!t Naomi....I've done that.......
I've also said to someone "My god have you seen the state of that" and he's said "Yes and I'm married to her".......................

[craft1948]

LOL @ Moucha....

[naomi24]

My thoughts precisely, Craft.

I sometimes put my foot in my mouth on here; a few totally get a different meaning from what I intended to say and I feel badly for posting because perhaps I've offended someone.

A few years back I was commuting from Godalming to Camden to work. One day, this woman got on the train opposite me and being in an unusually helpful mood, I politely informed her that she had a blob of foundation still on her face. Some birthmarks are very deceiving and some people aren't very forgiving.

In a cruel twist of fate... skip forward five years and having recently gleefully accepted employment in the job I still currently occupy, I am waiting at the lift. The lift door opens and out steps the same woman. Her birthmark made her easy to spot.

True story and I still see her from time to time and everytime I wonder if she remembers me.

[craft1948]

oooh CD....cringe......

[China Doll]

And then some craft... I've also gotten up on the train for several 'pregnant' ladies in my time who erm... well they didn't need the seat shall we say.

There are reasons I am now a grumpy, unhelpful bar steward... Cruel time changed the fresh faced and angelic doll.

[craft1948]

No probs the wet room and badedas are here....

[China Doll]

Everyday I love you more craft.
