Cringe!
Chickenlady winces, "I told a Hugh Grant/Divine Brown joke to my dad, pretending that Ms Brown was chewing gum so she'd be more American. Instead I just appeared to be still giving the blow-job. Even as I'm writing this I'm cringing inside."

Oops
I was the only person in the office on a cold December day, other than a contractor we had got in to do some website stuff.
It had been quiet for a while when he turned to me and said "I'll tell you what...mumbly mumble mumble mmm mum MumBle mumble"
I have a terrible habit of replying to things I don't really hear with "heh, yeah", and then hoping I'll gradually work out what was said so I can then do a thoughtful face and give a proper answer that probably starts "actually..." or "now I think about it..." or "isn't that..."
I felt that this approach wasn't going to work however when I slowly parsed that what his sentence was was "I tell you what, christmas is going to be a lot cheaper this year now that My Wife has left me"
We were stuck there for half an hour before someone else cam in and broke the silence.

CLICK!
ohh man alive I have sympathy for you as I constantly do this!
I don't know why I get so embarassed about not hearing what the person said and not wanting to ask, because the ramifications can be so much more humiliating!

The weird things is...
I do this with my barely-audible friend despite him replying to almost everything I say with "I caught about half of that"
