why oh why oh why oh why did I say that?

I get easily flustered when I talk to strangers and sometimes I say silly things but I really outdid myself this time...

I was getting off the bus by my house when I was approached by a woman I know to be a prostitute - I have seen her around for a while.

She came up to me and said "are you interested in some?"

and I said "No thank you I have got a bus pass"

WTF!!!!

I know what I was trying to say ... I was trying to tell her that even if I was interested (which I wasn't) I didn't have any cash on me and hadn't even had cash for the bus, but why oh why did it have to come out sounding so stupid???????????

but then I am the person who went into a shop at Liverpool Street Station in London that only sells batteries and spoked to the sales assistant but forgot to tell him exactly what it was I wanted..

What did I say to the man in the battery shop?

"Do you sell batteries?..."

hopeless..... :rolleyes::(

ImaPlum · 15/12/05 - 22:01

Thats given me the best giggle of the afternoon - thankyou

and I'm not laughing at you - more with you as I think we all say daft things from time to time - mouth speaks before the brain engages.

[Deleted User] · 15/12/05 - 22:06

I'm laughing with you too as that is just the kind of thing I do

Snozzwangler · 15/12/05 - 22:12

That's hilarious

She's probably laying on the job right now trying to work out what you meant

:D:D Ace!

[Deleted User] · 15/12/05 - 22:31

hahah oh god i do that all the time, i think far too ahead of myself in my head and come out with the "concluding sentence" which is miles ahead in terms of logical steps from the current conversation and people always get a bit confused...:o

Chie · 15/12/05 - 23:28

Don't worry I always say stupid things. Most of the time I forget what it was I was going to say and stand there going "Erm.. errr.. umm.." :rolleyes: Even getting on the bus I always say "Erm" before telling the driver where I want to go, I just can't help it, especially when the bus is packed and everyone's staring at me!

I work in a surgery and the receptionist went into the waiting room and was talking to a child in front of her parents. She was saying come on stand up you can do it you can walk over there can't you, you know you want to. The room suddenly went quiet and the atmosphere changed. This receptionist has a heart of gold and wouldn't hurt a fly, but it turned out this child had problems and was not able to stand or walk :eek:

The receptionist found out afterwards and was horrified by what she had said.

The bus pass thing is completely brilliant, you should be proud of your comic genius! I am definitely going to say that to anyone soliciting me in future. xx

Bellaaahhhh · 16/12/05 - 09:02

Oh pad! Do you realise how absolutely loveable that makes you sound:)

I was going to say the same thing. If it was me I would have thought how cute and what a lovely man.

[Deleted User] · 16/12/05 - 09:37

That is brilliant! I am so going to say that if I ever get into that position

System · 16/12/05 - 11:28

As people have said, you're only human Pad

[Deleted User] · 16/12/05 - 13:04

LOL

That is excellent!! Classic

System · 16/12/05 - 13:22

"No thank you I have a bus pass", sounds like you're saying, "thanks all the same, but I'm bit past all that kind of hanky panky!!!" ROFLMAO! Aww

[Deleted User] · 16/12/05 - 14:28

hey dont beat yourself up about it! that is a great quirk to have! i come out with rubbish all the time but i think it makes me unique quite often people say to me what are you on about! but we end up having a laugh about it!

just learn to laugh at yourself and not take it to heart to much! it doesnt reflect on the kind of person you are!

it gets easier with time! i often wonder what people think of me too much i'd be much happier lving in ignorance of what others think of me! iworry to much about it!

but how often do we come across people who are a little quirky or do what you have done and either find it funny or not take a blind bit of notice! wouldnt the world be boring if we were all the same!

I read this thread and thought everything had been said, but then I kept finding myself shaking with laughter - you know the kind that tones your stomach muscles?

I am a complete numpty, and my friends have many reasons to laugh at me. But their fave one is when I was at my friend's house a few months ago. Everyone else was in the living room, which was separated from the outside by glass patio doors. I was having an argument with my boyfriend in the garden, and I stormed off towards the house... walked SMACK into the glass doors, in front of everyone in the living room. They were literally rolling on the floor laughing

Could've been worse, a good few years ago when I worked in an electrical shop I had a woman come in and ask if I sold Durex batteries!

Hey there!
