I once asked a guy at work, "who's the new ugly cleaner?" His reply? Oh, that's my wife!

Oddly enough, he then agreed with my opinion! :o)

That sounds exactly like something you would say bill :)
I put my foot in it the other week with a girl who is temping at our office - the company has been messing her about telling her they will review her and look at making her permanent, then I told her that a guy who has been volunteering with us has been taken on as a temp - the penny didn't even drop when she replied with "Oh really? Strange cos they've told me there isn't enough work to make me permanent". Someone had to tell me and I could've smacked myself. She would've found out eventually but I usually have more tact than that :)

Mother in law spent all day having flowers delivered to her house for her neighbour who was out. When the neighbour came home, the leader of the opposition (as I like to call her) went around and said 'wow, someone is popular with the fellas today' the neighbour said' actually they are for my son, he died yesterday'

A while back I was chatting with another female customer in a store.

We both had kids and got onto our other kids etc..I mentioned that my youngest was really hard work, and she had been a twin so I was relieved I had miscarried the twin as two of them would have been a nightmare.

The woman then told me that she had just miscarried twins.

I wanted the ground to swallow me up whole :o(

I haven't actually doe that myself - must have had a charmed life i guess - buyt know several instances of others doing it!

On a works night out, one of my female colleagues telling another female colleage about her mother-in-law who is French, and is apparently blessed with, and I quote "A huge witchy nose, a real de-Gaulle conk ..." at which point both our pairs of eyes became riiveted to the listener's hooter which would do an anteater proud! I was just SO glad it wasn;t me, but I blushed in sympathy anyway!

A couple of friends of mine have the spuse / offspring scenario on a regular basis. he is 53, and looks older, bald, what bit left is grey, she is 35, looks about 19, and they work together in a computer consultancy business. So when either of them meets the other's clients, there is always "I spoke with your father / daughter last week about this ..." which makes them laugh, but the clients are always dreadfully embarassed!

A few years ago, I was working in a park just outside Glasgow cutting down some diseased trees. There was this old lady sitting on a bench crying just along from us, so I went over to make sure she was ok. I asked if she was ok to which she replied �I�ve just lost my husband� to which I replied �don�t worry we will go and help you look for him.� To which she replied �he died at the weekend�
