Potentially embarrassing moments
 

Having just received a text message intended for someone else, it got me thinking about how that could have been a very embarrassing situation, depending on the message. In this case, it was innocuous - just discussing lunch - but it certainly could have been worse.

Have you, or someone you know ever made a serious faux pas, whether it was an incorrectly addressed text message or something else?

When I was at college in San Luis Obispo (late 80's), I would sometimes call Susan late at night (2:00 in the morning - and frequently, I was drunk), often waking her up. And occasionally, we would have intimate conversations.

One night, her phone rang in the middle of the night (she was asleep). As she started to wake up, she realized that it was not me that she was talking to (she quickly got off the phone). To this day, she does not know what she said to this person.

Tee Hee - Kevy looks very much like Kate on one's cell phone display if you don't have your glasses on.

My sister and I sound almost identical on the phone. We used to just let the other person chat awhile before letting them know they had the wrong person.

Once, when I was on Yahoo IM, I was talking to GD and somewhere through the conversation CP stepped in to the conversation and I didn't see that she had said it was her. So the whole time I thought I was talking to Greg, when it was in fact, Jenn.
:D
It could have been embarassing, but it wasn't.

I figured it out when she said, "Greg thought the same thing." Or something to that effect. Then I'm like, "Am I not talking to Greg?" She said no.

Thank goodness we weren't talking smack about her or we both could have gotten smacked later. Just kidding.
:D

That gave me the idea for one of the Open Mic pieces I wrote.

Seriously, guys, my life is one giant potentially embarassing moment. It's a good thing I don't let it get to me too much.

One of the advantages of living a good clean chaste life is that you are pretty much immune to embarrassment.




Or at least that's what I've heard....

I don't have any potentially embarassing moments ... just lots of actually embarassig ones!

Well, do share!!!

I was hanging out with friends on a Wednesday night, while employed. I had a lot of alcohol. A LOT of alcohol. I was then reminded that I had to call my parents that night, there was something I needed to tell them that couldn't wait until the next day.

Fortunately, my dad answered the phone, not my mom. I was calling late and they were already in bed.

I have absolutely no clue what I said, thought I vaguely recall rambling about work. All I know is that the call ended with my dad saying, "Well, you don't sound like you're ready to sleep any time soon. So, um, have a good time." :blush:

Not that long ago, actually. I sent an email, with pictures attached, to the wrong email address. I asked the person if the email showed up.

No.

So I sent it again. Again I asked if the email arrived.

Nope.

Then I had the genius idea of verifying the email address. I was one letter off. Whoopsie. Someone got those pictures. Twice. Never heard from them though. And truly, the pictures were nothing exciting. Still, it was embarrassing.

Change the thread title. :p
