One time at Subway, instead of saying "thank you!" I said "sandwich!" It's been 20 years and I still think about it when my head hits the pillow.

I worked at KFC for a few months in my teen years. I had already been there a few weeks when a car pulled up and I answered the headset with "thank you for choosing Burger King may I take your order?" I've never worked at Burger King??

One time I stepped to the side on a narrow sidewalk as this couple walked by and said " excuse us".... it was just me. That moment lives rent-free in my head.

One day during a heatwave I walked out the elevator and told everyone to stay warm instead of cool. I still think about it to this day.

I was so proud of a funny chat at the drive thru window (I didn’t say anything weird) and I drove off WITHOUT my food. The victory lap to actually get the food was not as fun. It’s been 5 yrs and I will not go back.

The neighbour knocked on our door to let us know his wife had passed away and when he was leaving my grandma wanted to say “thanks for knocking” she actually said “thanks for nothing” then slammed the door in his face. He didn’t speak to her again.

I was the manager of a dental office and on Valentine’s Day I had purchased a package of hearts and went around, sticking them on the dentist’s and workers shirts. Later that afternoon, I was asked to assist one of the dentist and walked in where he was with a patient. I looked at him and said “I know you had a heart on this morning. What happened to it“ well, of course, he and the patient looked at me in astonishment! I realized what they thought I said, and I walked out in total embarrassment. It has been 40 years and it still keeps me up at night!
