VC's tale below reminds me
when I was at uni I phoned my mother to wish her happy birthday. I hadn't been able to remember if it was the 15th or 16th and phoned on the 16th.

She then tells me that it was indeed the 15th, which I comment on, alerting my mates to the fact that I'd got it wrong.

Naturally they proceeded to take the piss so I turned to them and gave forth a decisive "Fuck you!" with the phone uncovered an inch or two from my mouth.

Immediately realising what I had done I clapped my hand over my mouth. In hindsight it should have been clear that this was too late.

Then I hear my mum sniggering down the phone. I love my mum* :-)

What have you said when the wrong person has been within earshot?

*yes, I'm sure you all love her too. or at least that's what you tell her

It cracks me up
that they keep coming back to check if someone's been more wrong on the internet.

The thread's even better now *cough*

Call him a different girl's name every time you speak to him

So very tempting
However, he tends to put about 500k of work our way every year. I try not to upset him too often.

one of my colleagues from another office phoned me the other day
he is a chinese guy with a suitable chinese name.

I called him Tom.

That's my name.

I'm just laughing at the idiocy. Sorry mate. But I am.

I sat with my head* in my hands for a few minutes afterwards. I can only hope that he didn't really notice.

thank you for the clarification...
I had the most vivid mental image in my head.

I'm a little frightened by how easily I can picture various b3tans doing that.
