Idiot Moment...

[hathorcat]

Well today in all seriousness I was having a "sophisticated" conversation with my Managing Directors wife...and "laughingly" said that my dog needed Hugo Chavez to sort him out....*sigh*....I meant Cesar Millan....


I do not know what I was thinking of....but talk about going from the creme of the conversation to the crud in about 2 seconds flat....I dont know whats worse that she thinks I am an idiot or that she thinks my dog is sooo badly behaved he needs a South American dictator to control him!!


Please share your own *face palm* moments!!!

Great story! Love it!

[kaoskat]

Oh goodness! That's an interesting mistake! I'm sure she's forgotten all about it already.

Hugo Chavez ... hahaha!  That's a fantastic faux pas.  I love it.  Don't feel bad - it happens to the best of us.

Nine years ago shortly after I got my second guinea pig Atomic Fireball, I accidentally told someone that his name was Atomic Bomb. >>

[SaphTalon]

I almost told a private secret about myself. Then I said most guys should. I was praying that it would not spread all over work.

Like I said "well I meant to say most guys need to try it"

I lide through my teath well technically speaking I did. I don't sleep with a plush which I do. I am not ambarrassed about it on here. If you new where I worked you would understand.

[dollhands]

Haha maybe she thought you were making a joke

I have accidentally given nicknames to a few shows on BabyFirst TV

- Little Vinnie's Art => Cousin Vinnie's Art
- Tillie Knock-Knock => Tillie Quack-Quack
- Friendly Jack => Hungry Jack (this just happened minutes ago )

Also, the other day, I was talking to a friend about ways of connecting a Nintendo Wii to a TV and I accidentally said that my Wii was connected by composite when I have actually spent a little extra on component cables- I am aware of the cables, but I somehow got composite and component mixed up.

Also, I have trouble telling my left from right sometimes.

Yeah, 1D10T moments are common with me.

I have plenty.
Yesterday I said 'the washing machine went through the tumble drier' I was trying to say something about 'this hoody went through the washing machine and tumble drier with tissue in its pockets' Don't ask me how that happened.

Well this one isn't one involving me but yesterday at my college campus classroom, possibly due to having all the computers doing the same thing simultaneously but not the root cause, 7 computers, including the one I was sitting in, just shut off and wouldn't turn back on and this was after the program we were learning to use crashed on my comp. At that point, class was pretty much over but worse still was that the problem wasn't fixed for my 2nd class in that room about 5 hrs later so class was only in session for about half the time as the teacher's comp was in the section that went out.There were no error messages or any signs beforehand but i bet it was major.

Lol! Thanks guys....you have helped me feel a little less "alone" in the sillyness stakes!

[melodys_angel]

We all have moments like that, its just apart of life <3

Im sure it wasnt as bad as you thought it was hun

[Sebby6]

Hey at least you knew who both of these people are. I have had several work mates who would only have been able to tell you what Cesar Milan does for a living...

It seems to happen to everyone at some point.  I say stuff like that all the time! Like last year, my class took a trip to the coast.  I was so excited, so there was no way I could have forgotten that that was were we were going.  Yet, when we got there, I hopped off the bus, took a deep breath, and said (with genuine confusion): "I wonder why it smells like salt water out here?"... and for once, I spoke lound enough that everyone could hear me.
