It's Not What It Looks Like!Cawl wrote two years ago, "People seem to have a knack for walking in at just the wrong time:
"Well, my clothes got wet, so did his... Yes, officer, huddling together to conserve body heat... Yes officer, he's five... No Officer... I'm not his Dad."
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?

NOT Massive Drugs - Honest!Well, okay, it's not what it SOUNDS like, but anyway.
A few years back, me and my friends were all watching a slightly obscure Anime series called E's Otherwise (The 'E' stands for 'Espers', a kind of psychic, if I remember rightly.) Since it hadn't yet had an American or European release we'd download episodes online and save them onto memory sticks to take round to each others' houses to watch. We'd also refer to the series as 'E's for short.
One day we were renewing the contract on our rented house, and our landlord had come over to witness the signing. Without thinking what it sounded like, I asked one of my other housemates if our friends were bringing any 'E's over later... which caused the landlord's eyebrows to just about shoot right up off the top of his head. It didn't make it any better when I tried to explain what I meant, since it turns out that middle-aged Welshmen in business suits don't have an extensive knowledge of modern Japanese cartoon series. Oops. he probably thought we were the most well-behaved, geekiest drug addicts that he'd ever met.
