Well? The majority of my phone conversations take place with RM95's Girl, my Mom, Dad, or my two sisters. All of those calls end with me saying "love you" or some variation. Well, I'm talking with my sister's boyfriend about a beach house we're renting this summer and I end the conversation with a "Love ya!". I'm humiliated. Ugh. Anyone ever do stupid **** like this?
I can't tell you how many times I've almost done this. Luckily I've escaped teh humiliation you will live with for the rest of your life.
That's why you should never say "I love you" on the phone to anyone. I refuse. It becomes one of those things where you can never not say "I love you." My wife and I never say that on the phone and we both like it that way.
That's funny. It's easy to make that kind of mistake. I've occasionally called people by a wrong name or (way back when) called a teacher "Mom" or "Dad" - I knew better, but it was just a habit. I can see how things like this could happen. Of course, I say stupid things all the time... probably every five minutes... just not really obvious stupid things.
I slip up and utter the word "motherf*cker" in front of my Mom all the time. I sometimes can't help it since it is my favorite curse word. She usually responds with a left uppercut or a right cross.
I said this to a group of intelligent people at dinner. "He was sitting for the whole presentation, and then he stood up at the last minute, and spoke, and that's why I'll never forget what he said. It was so dramtic I never forgot." "what did he say?" "You know, I can't remember." I felt like a r****d.
I think the reply-all feature is the roughest. I accidentally hit it on an email which said only 'booga booga' as text, and was unfortunately sent to the senior executives at NBC Sports. Not that that part bothered me, but the senior editor above me was not happy. "Booga booga," of course, is what Garfield says when he is dancing with his bowl of food on top of his head. For five seconds I was embarassed, but at least I sent something meaningful.
I did the same exact thing. Except my girlfriend and her entire family were in front of me. I was talking to a friend (not even a close one) and ended by saying "I luv ya". Felt like taking that phone and slamming it on my head.
At my old job, if there was a day when primarily male customers came in, I'd slip up and accidentally call a woman "sir" and vice versa.
last year i was expecting a call from my brother while living in the dorm. the phone rang - i answered "what's up b****" -- only to find out it was my roommates girlfriend who thought i didn't like her before that (i really didn't have an opinion on her). one time my mom left a long message on one of her friends answering machines and ended with "in Jesus' name, Amen." the one with me wasn't really anything, i just thought it was my brother callin and we're pretty sarcastic with one another. but with my mom's example, it's funny how habbits can carry over into other things and embarrass you.
What, no soap! Geez, I accidently said the F-word in front of my mother and even though she is a tiny 5-foot tall woman, she gave me a stinging slap and told me in Japanese "I raised you better than that, you dishonor me and your father." I watch my tongue from now on.
