Classic Faux pas

[jrfromafar]

It's time to 'fess up - what's your classic faux pas comment?

Most recent, my wife was doing some decorating and was using glitter. She rubbed her face and consequently a shiny speck was shimmering right under her eye - I called it to her attention, although instead of saying 'right under your eye', I said, 'it's in the BAG under your eye'

Arrrrrrruuuuuuugh- to the dog house I go......

That's excellent!

This is a favorite of mine, it happened to a friend of mine's husband a few years ago at Dairy Queen.

He was ordering a Peanut Buster Parfait and when it was his turn and the cute young chickie asked him what he wanted he said:

"I want a ***** Buster Parfait."

And he didn't do that on purpose and he was extremely mortified!

I have had many text message faux pas where I sent a message to the wrong person, also did that with emails...so now I am very careful and check the name twice before hitting send.

One embarrassing one involved a text intended for my then boyfriend that I sent my son by mistakes.

Oh your poor son!

Thank goodness he lives in another state and I didn't have to look him in the eye for awhile...by then he forgot or pretended to.

Haaa the look on that cashier's face would have been priceless --- great faux pas !

I too have sent texts to the wrong recipient - to the point of almost being paranoid about it now - have wondered if there's a text 'double check warning' app - and you did about all you can do with your son - just ignore it and hope it goes away - sort of like passing gas in a room full of people -

I use Google Gmail and there is a thing that i use called UNDO SEND, i have it set for 30 seconds, after that i can't stop it but if i realise within the tme range i can undo the email, i find it very useful and have used it quite a few times, it is in their settings section

Hey I need that 4 texting .... that 'send' button is just too final

 

[Jillaroo]

It's pretty final once you click the send on a mobile phone

 

[jrfromafar]

Not when you have "the Second Chance App" installed on your phone..... after you press "send" you have to verify the name of the recipient - then you get an "Are You Sure? yes or no" button that pops up -

- so the idea is here - all I have to do now is develop it ... but since the devil is in the details, it's not likely
