You go to post "Happy birthday!" to someone's Facebook wall you haven't talked to much and they've been dead for months.


Your turn.

You congratulate someone on an impending child only to find out they aren't pregnant.

Write something on a forum that goes against the countervailing views of everyone and have to defend yourself time and time again.

Not this forum, of course...

:D

You realize that you have detailed plans for what to do in a zombie apocalypse, but no idea what you want to be when you grow up.

You realize the guy on the phone you have been talking to for ten minutes is a wrong number and not a friend with the same name.

You congratulate the sweet, 64 year old school librarian on her impending retirement and she goes into a wild eyed, profanity laced rant about the administration, while standing in the principal's office AND the principal's secretary chimes in! --s6

You pick up the phone, and the person on the other end opens with, "I'm pretty sure I have AIDS..." :(

And you have to tell him that this is a private number, not the sexual health helpline (which happens to have a phone number very similar to your own, so this is not the first time you've gotten such calls...)

When you're slightly tipsy and can't help laughing because your grandad has cornered a new addition to the family and is telling her endless, rambling stories - and then your nanna asks what's so funny?

(Yeah, I seem to have a problem with laughter in general...)

When you just snuck off a fart and someone who had been safely across the room decides they need to come over and talk to you about something.

You get run over by a baby stroller.

You're chatting with a friend who happens to have a very heavy accent, and laugh boisterously at what you thought was a weird joke. Then you realize what she was actually telling you is that she can't have any more children.

When you're playing "Dodge the shopping carts and small children" in a very cluttered supermarket aisle and accidentally bump into the only person there you actually know.

...When you refer to a client as a jerk, and then realize you forgot to put him on 'hold.'

When you're having a conversation with a co-worker and suddenly realise someone you'd been calling had picked up their phone and was listening patiently and not saying anything.

You realize the person you have been calling Joan for the last month is actually named Jane.

People call your number because it's almost identical to a restaurant's and you politely tell them to change the last digit of the number to get the restaurant ... and they call you back.

Additional: when you don't know what you want to do when you grow up... and then realise that you have grown up.

Our number isn't that close to the one belonging to the new pharmacy about a mile away, but it's close enough that the elderly constantly dial it. I had one old man call here seven times one SUNDAY. The phone finally stopped ringing; but I knew he had simply given up. I had his number and his name on the caller ID, so I called the pharmacy the next morning and explained the problem and asked them to call him.
