Chester40 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Anyone got any amusing 'that possibly sounded different or worse to what I meant' anecdotes? Asking because I unusually took the opportunity to take my youngest to school on Mon. His middle-aged Head teacher was on the gate saying good morning to everyone. She had obviously grown her hair much longer during all of these lockdown... So being chirpy and friendly I loudly said... 'Ohhhh you can tell that the hairdressers have been closed can't you...'...? Errr... On reflection the look of confusion and upset was probably followed by hours of irritation at me drawing attention to her multitude of grey hairs, 1 minute into the supposed happy fresh start of term!!!!

Sith Happens Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 When i was 15, at Christmas i was mulling on the fact that my Christmas times as a 'kid' were coming to an end. Sitting at the dinner table, i tried to find a way to express what was on my mind but it came out as 'There gets one less every year'...considering the previous 2 years had seen the death of 2 grandparents, 1 in each year...it was met with some shocked expressions.

What a terrible thing to say. It should have been 'one fewer'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
