not me but the lovely woman I was working for in a cafe looked out of the kitchens and said 'who's that effin t*at waving at?'

It was my dad. He had popped in to say hello! Luckily he's very hard of hearing and wondered why were creased up laughing

I was in Tesco at the checkout, and the young man at the till announced he had run out of normal bags, only had those tiny little ones - totally impractical for the amount of groceries I had.

So I called over to the young man at the next till (yes, we are blessed with an abundance of nice young men in our Tesco!) and piped up "Hi, do you have big ones? He only has tiny ones here", then immediately regretted it. Both guys fell about laughing while I wanted the ground to swallow me....

My friends husband is a bit of a twit and he decided that when his daughter (by his first wife) was 16 he was going to stop paying maintenance even though she was staying on at college.

My friend dropped it out in conversation and i said 'he cant do that!' 'Its got nothing to do with me' she scowled and turned away. I stand by what i said and i did appologise for sticking my oar in but it was really none of my business.

I nearly lost a friend that day.

He did end up paying maintenance as the CSA started chasing him so i neednt have opened my mouth at all.

Hmm that doesnt sound that awful Judi, you were just passing comment on her comment, like any of us would do.

Have i misread this one?

System

no you havent misread it but really it was none of my business was it?

[Deleted User]

I guess not, but how many times do we in conversation defend our friends from others actions - our business or otherwise.

If your friend didn't want comment, why mention it to you?

And why I am defending your comment about something that happened ages ago and nothing to do with me............?

I think you've made your point!! Lol.

Sorry OP for the hijack.

when I first started going out with my husband we were in a club when a guy walked past us and I said quietly to OH "wow (or something a bit stronger!) that guy's really ugly!" and was mortified when my husband then introduced the ugly guy as his brother!

I regret saying it, but still maintain my opinion! :rotfl:

Told someone on Saturday the deepest darkest secret I've been trying desperately to hide for a long time.

Problem is, it was the person who said secret was about :doh:

Just wondered if anyone else has something that 'haunts' them, here's mine....

Years ago when me and DH were just living together we went round his parents one night and we got talking about his dads sacred cockateil.... I say sacred, it was a pain in the backside, both his parents moaned about Fred squawking through TV programmes and when there was food to be had, but apart from that his dad doted on the bird.... boyfriends dad goes on to say Fred hadn't been let out to fly around for ages and he'll let him out when l've gone in case he frightens me. I say no it'll be fine, l've held Fred on my finger before and fed him so l've been close and l don't have that flying bird phobia, so dad gets him out and Fred flies around for a bit.

Until... Fred makes a bee line for my face :eek: he flew straight towards me and when he touched my hair l screamed and waved my hands, Fred flew straight across the room, into a wall and fell in the wastepaper basket. :embarasse

He didn't die thank God but l was mortified, it was my fault he got let out in the first place and l did the one thing l said l wouldn't do. l still remember all 3 of theirs disappointed faces.

Boyfriend later became husband, maybe this was why the in-laws were always a bit off with me... :rotfl:

Years ago when my aunt and her family went on holiday we looked after their budgie. The bird never used to get out of the cage for a fly so when we were looking after it we would let it out. When they came back from their holiday we decided to show them the budgie's new party trick (ie flying around!) We let it out of its cage and my youngest cousin rang screaming out of the room, slamming the door behind her. The bird was caught in the door. There was blood, the bird was on the floor twitching and then the screaming started because their budgie was dead. We hadn't even been in their house 10 minutes after taking their budgie back to them. We felt awful.
