I worked with toddlers and pre schoolers for three years. Sometimes I accidentally slip and tell a friend to say bye to an inanimate object (āsay bye bus!ā) & occasionally they unthinkingly just do it.
Iām glad thereās a teacher version ofĀ āaccidentally called teacherĀ āmomāā
when I worked at Medieval Times occasionally I would slip in real life and call people āmy lordā
One time during family prayer, dad began: āour father who art in heaven, American Airlines, how can I help you?ā
One time my dad went to the White Castle drive-thru and the lady (who was supposed to sayĀ āWelcome to White Castle, whatās your crave?ā) asked,Ā āWelcome to White Castle, whatās your problem?ā
She apologized profusely while my dad proceeded to lose his shit laughing.
Yesterday I went to Wendyās and the girl said āWelcome to McDonaldsā and then just sighed
Somebody in the elevator asked me what floor I lived on, and I answered āplease open your books to page eightā, and we just kind of stared at each other, blinking.
i work retail full time and my script gets frequently messy - ill ask the same question twice, or say ā$2.60 is your totalā while handing back their change, or say āhow are you doing today?ā instead of āhave a good day!ā like name it ive bungled it
but anyway, this lady came thru my line buying a book and the review on the front said: āfew books are well written, fewer still are important, and this book manages to be bothā
as i handed her the bag i was trying to say āthanks, youre all setā and instead my brain mashed up the review and i said āthanks, youre importantā
there was this short pause in which i tried to figure out what the fuck id just said. she blinked and then said āoh thank you! youre important too!ā
the real kicker was one of my coworkers. when i was relating this story later his response was āat least you said something NICE. last week i accidentally combined āyoure welcomeā and āno problemā into āyoure a problemāā
one time, since I used to work as a daycare teacher with preschoolers, i was on my college campus in my gym, and someone was running in the weight room and tripped over a machine and fell, and instead of offering to help, I just stared and said, āThis is why we use our walking feet.ā we both sat there for a while until the guy nodded and said, āyeah, okay, i shouldāve done that.ā
I work at a doggie daycare where we do training and socialization. After being together for about a month, the guy Iām with asked why I always try to stick my hand in my pocket whenever he held the door open for me or did something polite.
I was reaching for my treat pouch. I was trying to train my date with dog biscuits.
