Faux Pas
I once answered the phone to someone who sounded very like one of my friends trying to disguise his voice.
He asked for my mother. So I said "P*** off, Mike, I know it's you, you've been rumbled!" Except.... it wasn't. It really was the co-ordinator of the Lay Preachers society for that county, ringing for my mothers list of churches she was preaching for.
I pretended we had a crossed line and hung up. A few minutes later he rang back. I let my mother answer it....
