It's Not What It Looks Like!

What have you done that, in retrospect, you'd really rather nobody had seen, mostly as things just get worse the more you try to explain it?

Back when I was an English teacher
I was talking about gangs and such, and mentioned the "gang" I had been in as a youngster. We basically hung out in one boy's shed, which we adorned with heavy metal posters, smoked illicit cigarettes and thought we were well cool. (We were 10). We also had a radio, which I referred to as a "tranny" - short for transistor, a pretty common epithet.
But the kids thought I was talking about a transvestite. From then on they regularly asked if I knew any trannys, if I kept them in my shed and what I did with them.
Little buggers.

I once fell into a similar trap
I mentioned, while on the phone to a colleague, that I'd heard some news on the tranny - she thought I was talking about a cross-dresser who shared my office.
