I had an embarrassing moment at work today……I felt so silly about it, even if it was not a big deal. Normally when we have a room to put a patient in, I would get a chart and go to the waiting room and get them. My usual way of doing that is to say something like, Mr. Jones, you can come on back now……..But today I grabbed the chart, opened up the door and said, Mr. Jones, you can come on down! LOL! Did I think this was the Price is Right??? And ‘Mr. Jones’ picked up on that and started laughing at me. He asked me if it was his turn to bid on the showcase showdown! LOL!

 

I’m not sure where I got ‘come on DOWN’ from…….that was crazy. Have you ever said something dumb like that when you meant to say something else? I guess my mind was wandering……

 

One time, I went to get a patient and instead of just OPENING the waiting room door, I KNOCKED!! LOL! I guess I thought that someone should come open it for me or something. But I was laughing so hard and felt too dumb, so I went away for a few minutes and hoped that no one noticed I had knocked on the door first……..

 

Another stupid thing that happened to me……….the other day, Kyle and I were at the grocery store. It was a place we had not been before, so we were kind of looking around at stuff. And I saw this drink display that made me laugh. One of the flavors of soda was called FUFU Berry!! I was laughing and I turned around to tell Kyle, ‘oh, FUFU berry! I love that!’ But it wasn’t Kyle standing there. It was some lady. And she just looked at me funny and said…. ‘yeah, that’s great.’

 

I felt like a complete spaz!! I guess she did not think FUFU berry was funny. But to me, it WAS! And then Kyle walked around the corner, and I had to admonish him for leaving me there to talk to some weird lady with no sense of humor…….LOL He was busy looking at really big fruit and was excited that they had papayas bigger than our heads…….LOL I think that both us are very easily entertained……

    LOL....I say stuff like that all the time....I love when I answer the phone at home like I do at work.....really confuses people!!  One time I wished someone "Merry Christmas" and it was no where near Christmas!!  They looked at me like I was soft in the head....  :-)  Minnie

    I say stuff to my husband all the time at the store only to turn around and find he's not standing there.


    Natalie, just wait until you reach back to grab Kyle's hand one day at the store only to find it's not Kyle whose hand you have grabbed.

    This post cracks me up! That Fufu berry drink business was too hilarious. Who names these things? I still think we should have bought some, just because it was funny. You know how I like to buy stupid things like that.

    Hey, remember last week when we went to Subway, and the guy at the counter handed me our food and said, "have a nice meal!" And I looked at him and said, "you too!" Talk about feeling like a dork. In my head, he was saying, "have a nice DAY," not meal! And then I had to tell him to enjoy his meal the next time he ate, since he obviously was not eating right then...

    Being present in body and completely absent in mind is one of my finesst traits. I ve done the Zayda trick of reaching for someone (to gently poke in the ribs) only to discover that the person on the end of my finger was not the intended recipient. You may appreciate our laughter in an Asian market recently when we looked at our cash register reciept to discover that we had purchased a case of Diet Cock. Have you considered serving Fufu Berry Punch for the wedding reception?
  • nursecutie said on Jul 24, 2007....

    minniemouse, Merry Christmas! Oh wait, it's July......LOL I have done silly things like that too. One time I called up my mom from work, and my brain was in work mode......when she answered, I said, 'this is Natalie from doctor so and so's office....' She couldn't stop laughing at me!!

    zayda, I have done something like that before! I came up behind this guy at a concert once, and I SWORE he was my boyfriend at the time. But when I put my arms around him, it was someone else!! LOL My boyfriend saw me do it though and asked me what the heck I was doing! LOL!

    Kyle, LOL! I forgot about your Subway thing.....that was super silly! The cashier was laughing so hard, but he did say the next time he ate, he would think of you.....LOL

    botoni, OMG! Diet Cock??! Yes, regular Cock has so much calories.....LOL! ;)FUFU berry soda does sound like an excellent wedding drink to go with my mother's FUFU ideas......LOL

    Nursecutie.....since we are sharing funny stories I ll tell you this one. My ex is also an RN. He was working in a seniors home. A very elderly Asian lady would wander about muttering to all the staff: 'Say ma'. Her son came to visit and my ex asked what those words meant. The son smiled and said: 'They mean go to hell.'....fairly funny until a new nurse from India was hired. Her name? Sema...prounounced Say Ma!
  • nursecutie said on Jul 24, 2007....

    botoni, that is so funny!! I hope that my name does not mean 'go to hell' in any other language! LOL

  • allswell said on Jul 24, 2007....

    Ha! That's funny....i'm always embarrasing myself one way or another, all you can do is laugh at yourself though! lol

    ....The other day at work i was in the waiting room and I thought one of the girls i worked with was right behind me and I asked her a question and looked back and there was no one there except in the next room over was a patient and he just looked at me like i was weird....I just smiled and walked to the back...how embarrassing! 

     Oh and a couple of times  when it was busy at work this happened... i would bring someone's glasses to the back to repair them and bring them back out and try to hand them to the wrong person and realize it when they look at me like i'm crazy!    

    alls:)

    I'm either acting like an arse or eating foot, I've propelled saying dumb things to an art form! :-) Yesterday, though, one of the ladies in the building where I was fixing computers was leaving for lunch, so I said 'have a nice lunch', and she said 'you too', then stopped short, realized her blunder, said 'are you going to lunch?' and then quickly walked away.

    that is typically of me!... there was a time that i was rushing out from work and that i thought the car parked infront of the office was my mom's, it has the same color and model (i think!) when i opened the door thats when i found out it was someone elses car!
  • TravelGirl said on Jul 25, 2007....
    Silly things like this happen to me all the time. The good thing is that most of the time nobody really notices, apart from me of course. The bad thing, however, is that as a result of my silly mistake, I start laughing- cracking up over my own stupidity. And most of the time people notice that, me, standing in the middle of the supermarket in a laughing fit without a noticable cause, in a laughing fit....
  • jadestar said on Jul 25, 2007....
    The worst...... I was rattling off about something, and turned to see the person no longer standing there - no one was. I looked around, only to catch the smirks & giggles of complete strangers being entertained by this lady talking away to herself.......and my friend....was on the other side of the shop laughing his head off.
     
    Another time, a group from church went away. A bunch of people were on the patio seperated by a closed door. I tried the door with a little push & it didn't open at first. A friend (different one) indicated through the glass that I must pull. I stood there yanking, pulling & rattling this door, only to discover it did need a good push after all. You know - men! he was killing himself. Fortunately, no one else noticed, I hope, but I felt a right wally.

    Thats is soo funny Natalie!!! I could write a book of all the stupid things I do, but of course I can't think of any off the top of my head.
  • destinydiva said on Jul 25, 2007....
    always! I have more embarrassing moments than good ones!
    I always get my words muddled when I get in a tizz.....
    and I always always end up speaking to people in the supermarket thinking its my mum behind me! I asked a guy what he thought of a bra and knickers set I'd picked up once :-) ooohhhh that still makes me cringe :-)

    my daughter once clung on to somebodys leg and said I love you mummy, then looked up and she had no idea who she was holding on too, bless her :-) the lady found it funny tho... and after about 3 hours of crying sasha found it funny too :-)

    have you ever accidently walked off with somebody elses shopping trolly? oh I do that all the time....  I think I must just tune out and go on auto pilot when I'm shopping :-)

  • AlisonMarie19 said on Jul 25, 2007....
    FUFU berry... [giggling]..... that is really funny. :)
     
    I've done just as many stupid things. Like when I answer my home phone (or my mom and dad's phone) "[work] this is Ali". Or, when I call for pizza and get put on hold too long and forget why I'm calling. I've had a whole conversation with myself about salsa.... my bf walked away while I was talking and I didn't notice. I've done the hand-grab too, but it wasn't the bf's hand that I grabbed.... oopsie....
     
    A few weeks ago I was at DQ and this lady was SO short, I nearly nailed her in the head with my elbow. She wasn't a midget, per se, but she went about 4'9", and she was an adult, because I saw her get out of the car... Anyway, I turned with my tray and didn't see her, and almost plowed over her..... I was mortified.....
     
    Don't worry NC, you're not the only one. :)

  • tizzygirl said on Jul 25, 2007....
    Yeah I wouldn't feel so bad I've done tons of stuff like that and worse.  One time I spoke with a client and they had told me that they couldn't show up for their appointment- which had happened several times and was really getting on the bosses nerves.  I then went to call my boss-he wasn't in yet- and dialed the cleint's fathers number and after he said hello I then proceeded to say "guess who's not showing up again?"  all snottily, and I went on to say "big surprise".  Her dad was so flustered and tried to make up all these excuses for his daughter and then I realized who I was talking to and I tried to save myself by asking him to give her a message to call back and reschedule!! I felt horrid!  That's what happens to my brain early in the morning!  Several times I've said "love you" to clients getting off the phone with them.  This usually gets a laugh but embarasses me.  One time I did it to a client who loved to flirt with me so he said love you too sweetie and now everytime he calls he asks me if I'm going to tell him I love him before we hang up!  I don't of course and it still embarasses me but I learn to get over it!
  • WindRider said on Jul 25, 2007....
    All of these posts are terrific and funny. Makes my contribution seem a little tame... but here goes anyway.

    As a child, whenever I'd go to bed, I'd say "night-night". I don't know how that started, but it must have been something my mother said to me from very early. Okay, now, fast forward to me in my late twenties...

    I was around 28, at work, and had gotten a call from a male customer. I don't remember the specifics of the call, but it was a pleasant one, and when I went to say good-bye, I popped off with "night-night" !!! OMG!!! No one else heard this, and the guy say good bye and that was the end of it, I thought. But I sat there chastising myself for quite sometime trying to figure where the heck THAT came from!

    A few days later this same guy calls back. And he remembered. And he mentioned it! Now I was embarrassed again and had to laugh and explain that I had no idea where that came from. He was laughing too.

    I still haven't figured out why I said that!
  • uniquely-ironic said on Jul 25, 2007....
    Talking to thin air is the least of my problems, though I'd love to know what a FuFu berry is.
     
    One time I was at a Subways in Reno having a sandwich made.  The guy making it was HOT!  So as I'm telling him what I'd like on my sandwich I ended the list with "and salt and pecker".  Yeah, sure I wanted the salt and pepper.  I turned a lovely shade of purple and he gave me a little smile to acknowledge that yes, I am an idiot.  I went straight to my room and layed down.
     
    A few days ago at work I was discussing problems with a project that required me to hang a plague at work.  Apparently our office is considered a museum of sort due to all of the original photographs and we can't hang a $10 dollar piece of crap next to a thousand dollar picture.  I was also concerned about what height to hang it.  Before I could shove a fist into my mouth to stop my conversation I said "I don't like it hung too high, or hung too low.  It should be hung just right".  We were walking so he took a couple of steps in silence before I caught myself and said "I can't believe I said that out loud".  We both had a good laugh.
  • DesertMermaid said on Jul 25, 2007....

    Hi natalie , that was hilarious and they way you narrated ... esp that fufu berry and knocking on the door . Rofl ;)

    Jade, trying to imagine you pulling and huffing with that door and wind's 'nightnight' cracked me up totally! Lol..

    I goof up at the wrong time in the worst possible places. Once I was talking to my then hot crush's bro and he was saying something about his new shoes. I wasnt really paying attention and kept looking dumbly at his tee ~ as if that was not enough I was nodding and smiling all the while!


    Another time we walked into a new restaurant which had its end corner made of glass from ceiling to floor. Seeing the reflection of the opposite tables in the glass I just assumed they were for real. I nearly bumped and my friends couldnt stop laughing all evening. They still make it a point to remind me from time to time ! ;)

  • carryownwater said on Jul 25, 2007....
    Life provides an endless supply of reminders not to take ourselves too seriously. I recently stood up after a business lunch with a colleague, feeling very alpha-male-ish only to have the colleage lean over and whisper in my ear "XYZ". It feels as embarrassing now as it did in high school
  • nursecutie said on Jul 25, 2007....

    allswell, oh, I hate it when I'm talking to myself like that! I have done that lots of times at work. I will think that someone is standing behind me and I'll be babbling about something, and when they don't answer, I realize they are gone! LOL

    botoni, LOL! My name means 'hot chick' in Canadian, eh? (see I'm learning the language already!) Do you know what my name really means? It means 'born on Christmas'! But I was born in March.......LOL

    Travelr, that is almost the same thing that happened to Kyle! He told the guy at Subway to have a nice meal too, but he wasn't eating! LOL

    Sweet Cookie, OMG, I've done that too!! Once we were on vacation and my parents had a rental car that I was not familiar with. My dad went to get the car, while I waited in front of the hotel. And a car pulled up that I SWORE was the right one, and I just got in and said, 'can we go see this shop now?' And it was some strange woman behind the wheel!! LOL! I think I scared her to death and I quickly apologized and jumped out of the car!

    Travelgirl, yes, I am guilty of laughing at myself like that. Then people think you are crazy anyway! LOL

    jadestar, one time I tried to enter a door that I swore said PUSH. But it was PULL, and I smacked my head right into it! LOL!

    tara, you need to think of something funny to add! :) I'm loving all these stories!

    Destiny, when I was little, I did the same thing your daughter did! I grabbed a woman at the store thinking she was mom, but it wasn't! And it is very traumatizing for a child, isn't it? And LOL about taking someone else's shopping cart! Once my mom and I went shopping together and she looked in the basket and said, 'are you really buying this crappy cereal?' But it wasn't my cart! LOL! She insulted some other lady whose cart she was rooting through!!

    Ali, that's embarrassing to almost take someone out with your food tray! LOL And I have dialed phone numbers before and I forget who the heck I called until they actually answer! Then I don't remember why I called them!

    tizzygirl, LOL! Someone I work with once ended a call to an associate doctor with the words, 'love ya, babe!' She was sooooo mortified by that!! I think I would die......LOL

    windrider, that is so funny! I think it's easy to forget sometimes who you are talking to when you are on the phone! But at least you did not say you loved him! LOL

    uniquely-ironic, I am curious to know what a FUFU berry is too! I think I might go back to the store and buy it.......it's probably really sweet and yucky but I need to know too!! And LOL about asking for salt and PECKER!!! That is just as hilarious as botoni buying a case of diet COCK at the store! And doesn't everyone want something to be hung just right? ;) LOL

    desert mermaid, one time I thought a mirrored wall at a restaurant was an entirely new room! I felt so dumb when I realized it was a reflection!

  • tizzygirl said on Jul 25, 2007....
    omigod, speaking of flashing I accidently flashed a man yesterday unfortunately I didn't even have the bra between his eyes and my...welll yeah.  So I was getting out of my truck and I was carrying a bunch of stuff and it's a little bit of a drop down and well after I jumped down things repositioned themselves and yep there was righty for the world to see, or at least the one guy oogling me.  I didn't notice right away because I had of course dropped my cell phone which flew into a million pieces under my truck and was still cursing about that when I noticed!  I was so embarassed but at least the guy gave me a big smile and a thumbs up as he drove off!!
  • TheNakedProfessor said on Jul 25, 2007....
    Once at the bookstore a lady and her hubby were back to back, looking at books, when he stepped away and I stepped in looking at a book. I knelt down to read it for a moment and felt someone rubbing against me.
     
    The woman nudged her backside up to me and he calf was gently massaging my back when she turned her neck and noticed I wasn't her man.
     
    LOL!
     
    Speaking of exposed boobs, one of my best female friends came up out of the pool with her left tit hanging out like Aphrodite. She was unaware, but the 10-year old beighbor boy's jaw dropped as she walked toward us. She was oblvious and stood there talking to us.
     
    I cleared my throat her pointed discreetly, tipping her off.
     
    Nothing like being at the right place at the right time ;)

    These stories are so funny! I recently told a blood donor to eat well and drink plenty of blood before coming in to donate. I couldn't stop laughing and he said no, you guys are the vampires. It took several minutes for me to compose myself enough to make another call and I was so afraid that I would say that again.

    nakedprofessor, I have been a victim of bathing suit failure several times!! Once I dove into the pool at a community center and my top just came right off! I had to swim around topless to retrieve it and EVERYONE could see me!! I wanted to die! But I think I made the lifeguards very happy because they both jumped in and tried to help me get my top......I think they were just trying to get a better look! LOL

    aliendude, LOL! OMG, that's hilarious! Talk about saying something completely embarrassing! That was a good one!

    i do stupid stuff all the time. happily, there are usually no witnesses, unlike the time 2 years ago i was so struck by a woman who works in the same building that i almost ran into a garbage can!

    in my very first job, i had to answer the phones for another department. there were four of us, so it was more like a call center than a receptionist thing. at the time, nobody but doctors and lawyers had cell phones so periodically, we would get personal calls at work.

    anyway, someone called, i got the call, and i swear the woman on the other end of the line sounded just like my wife (then, my girlfriend), so i said "hi!" in a familiar, slightly cheesy way.

    there was dead silence for about 5 seconds, then she replied, "i think you think i'm someone i'm not..."

    mortified, i apologized, explained she sounded like somone else, and we proceeded to deal with her call.

    as soon as i hung up the phone, my buddy in the next cubicle walked over. "ed, were you expecting [girlfriend] to call?"

    "well, no..."

    he just shook his head and headed back to his own cubicle.

  • jadestar said on Jul 26, 2007....

    I have another little funny one to share with you. Here in SA, we have a soapie called 7de Laan (7th Ave) & one of the characters is Neville Meintjies. Now we have a client in the Cape – a very IMPORTANT client named Neville *-*, whom I had to phone. The secretary answers the phone & I ask to speak to Neville Meintjies.

     “Neville Meintjies?” she goes & then starts giggling HARD – so hard I can almost hear tears streaming down her face. For a moment I’m sitting there baffled, until I click what I have done. Then we both start giggling. It must have gone on for a good few minutes. We’d stop, try & compose ourselves, until one of us would snigger, & then both of us would start giggling again. I had never met or spoken to this woman before in my life, and here we were finding it virtually impossible to regain some sort of professional composure. Throughout the day, I kept having flashbacks to this moment, & I would start snickering to myself, trying to suppress the laughter, while my boss would shoot the occasional sideways frown in my direction over the brim of his glasses, & that made it so much harder to control the giggles. I eventually managed to survive the day with most of my composure intact. Aaaah, good times….

  • AlisonMarie19 said on Jul 26, 2007....
    Looks like the soda we got in Jamaica. It was NASTY. Ginger Beer? (like root beer but ginger) SO NASTY!!! The "Cane soda" is where I get that idea from.... wait... let me check something.....
     
    Ok, here is a wiki link for Jones' Soda.... They use pure cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup... that's good!  Did you know that you can get FuFu berry lip balm??  And FuFu berry carbonated candy?? (probably like Pop Fizz's, remember those?!)
     
    And I actually remember reading this and getting completely grossed out: In 2004, it offered a complete, drinkable Thanksgiving dinner—five bottles—as a box set for $16. Turkey & Gravy was brought back, and the rest of the flavors were unique to this offering: Green Bean Casserole, Cranberry, Mashed Potatoes with Butter, and Fruitcake.
     
    Now you know. ;)

    ed, that is so funny about the phone call! One time when I was in high school, I was speaking to my b/friend on the phone. He told me he would call right back because he had to do something real quick. When the phone rang a few minutes later, I assumed it was him and said, hey sexy!! It was my grandmother! LOL! That was before caller ID.......obviously!!

    jadestar, that is funny! I don't know who that is, but I imagine it would be like me calling for Brad Jones and asking for Brad Pitt.......LOL! In our dreams maybe! ;)

    Ali, that is soooo funny they have a website entry for the drinks! Wikipedia really does have everything!! FUFU berry lip gloss might be interesting......but as a beverage, it sucks!! Blech. But not as badly as turkey and gravy or any of those others would taste! OMG.......I cannot believe they sold something so yucky!

    Just for the record. I went to a supermarket today. In the deli area I headed for Jones Soda (see Ali s comment). Be damned if they didnt have Fufu Berry! I HAD to have one just so I d know what I was missing. It wasnt ALL bad....Jones Soda does some amazing tastes..................hate to admit it but I like their Ginger Beer Soda.
  • nursecutie said on Jul 26, 2007....

    botoni, you liked the FUFU berry?? LOL It was too sweet for me........maybe because I am used to Diet Pepsi? But it was worth it for me to buy it because the can was pretty and the name was cute! LOL I have never tried Ginger Beer.........I need to look for that just out of curiosity!

  • Zayda said on Jul 26, 2007....
    Vernor's makes a Ginger Soda (in fact they claim to be the oldest soda along with Hires Rootbeer in the States). There is something off about the taste of it. I love Ginger Ale, but the first time I had Vernor's Ginger soda, I simply thought EWWWWWWW.

    The funny thing is when you look Vernor's up online, every site describes it as Ginger Ale, but if you look at the cans, it doesn't say Ginger Ale on it anywhere. It says Ginger Soda.  It's much darker "gold" in coloring than say Canada Dry or Schweppes Ginger Ale.
  • AlisonMarie19 said on Jul 26, 2007....
    If you've ever had fresh ginger, like at a sushi bar or something like that, it's just like that, only carbonated. It's very STRONG. Not really that sweet, just very strong. Ginger is one of those very strong flavors.
     
    It could have a lot to do with the Diet Pepsi, NC. I accidentally got a "full-octane" Coke out of the machine and I couldn't drink it. Nope-ers. Give me diet anyday!!!

    BTW, in looking up Vernor's online, I found this. Did you know there is a Soda Museum online? I don't think there's an actual physical one you can go to.

    **This has nothing to do with being silly, I just thought it was interesting.**  Of course that could be me being weird...and silly...or both.

    Here is the rub.....I too drink diet more than 99% of the time and I agree that the super sweet really packs a wallop. I must have an awful affinity for sweet though cause I think of it as a treat.

    zayda, I have had Vernors! My friend Megan LOVED that soda and made me try it........I was like, eh? It's not that exciting......LOL I do like Canada Dry ginger ale though.....with ice cream! My mom would make ice cream floats with it. And a soda museum? That is cool!! I was happy with the Jones soda website, so this is neat! LOL

    Ali, I have smelled fresh ginger and it makes your eyes water! I've never eaten it though.......and yes, once you are used to diet drinks, the regular ones are just TOO sweet!

    botoni, yes, it's hard to drink the sugary stuff when you are used to the diet! But I guess that is a good thing......huh?

    NC: I like Canada Dry Raspberry Ginger Ale with ice cream. My dad makes ice cream floats with it. :) He reserves the regular Ginger Ale for his Jack Daniels once in a blue moon.

    Yesterday morning, I was surprised to receive a call from a friend of mine at about 7:15 am because NOBODY calls me that early. I was slightly concerned at first, wondering what manor of tragidy she would be calling so early about, then very confused when she said 'you're going to have a hard time today without your keys'. I thought for a second and said 'what'? She said 'I left the house and took your keys by mistake'. I said 'um, <friend's name>, you must think you're talking to your husband, which isn't me.' She said 'uhhhh, i'm not awake yet!'

    Zayda, that sounds yummy!! I love ice cream floats......I haven't had one in a very long time. I need to buy some ice cream and ginger ale! :)

    travelr, that is so funny! I bet you were very confused......LOL

    ed, it was very mortifying! My grandmother was slightly horrified at me because I was only 17........and calling someone sexy! But she did laugh and say that no one had called her that in about thirty years! LOL

Comment on "Ever feel silly?"


(Separate tags using commas, for example: New York, dating, vegetarian)

I got confuzzled when I stopped in to get gas where I used to work, and the new lady there, who I've talked to some, interupted me with a question.

"So, you're divorced, aren't you?"

"What? Where'd you hear that?"

S...
Strangely accurate...

I just got tickled because I answered a comment on my post "Rumors of My Divorce" and below that was quietone's post, "I Have Men In My Basement."

Usually, it's one of my own posts stuck down there, but it's really funny this time! Might ha...
