Not a tech embarrassment but an embarrassment none the less.

At our gala dinner a few months ago the waitress leaned over and gave me some spuds, or veg or something.  It was one of those times where I mixtued two words / phrases into one.  I meant to say either "Thank you" or "Lovely".  I ended up saying:

"Love you"

Thought I had got away without anybody noticing til the brother just looked at me as if I had 2 heads, and then proceeded to tell everybody.  I was highly embarrassed

You can tell a random waitress you love her, but you've such harsh words for the great Drew Kirk (RIP)? I just don't understand you Sideline.

Fella I know was telling me something similar that happened to him at the breakfast table. He meant to say to the wife "pass the sugar", but it came out as "you f**king bitch, you ruined my life".

I'm sure he's not the only one, or like the man who meant to stroke his wifes hair, but ended up givin her a good box to the mouth.

Im disturbed Ziggy. Perhaps if Drew was serving me I would have said it to him.  But he couldn't have been.  That's because he's dead.

About 15 yrs ago, a fellah i know, in a similar situation, getting mixed up between saying 'you're alright there' or 'that's lovely' to some waitress, said 'you're lovely'.  We're still slagging him about it.

surely a Tech Embarrassment would be along the lines of 'Betamax', ' sinclair c5' or 'advantix camera'

Yeah heard that one before.  Dropped my communion before.  The wee p***k of an altar boy was supposed to catch it but didnt get down in time. Think he'd be used to bendin over.

On my placement year a girl who worked in the office phoned in and I answered, talked for a second then I hung up (i was still drunk and takin the piss out of her.) the phone rang immediately again and I answered (for some unknown reason) by sayin "waht are you lookin ya w**ker?" assuming it was her.  As the man says, never assume.  There was no answer so I then straightened myself up and said hello? It was just someone making a general enquiry and he either heard me but thought he misundersttod what I said or didnt hear me. I was shitting myself.
