Common mistakes--your experiences..:)

Don't feel too badly about it, she knows she's fat and you won't have been the first. My first sister in law was a tiny little thing when my brother married her, she promptly got that ring on her finger and grazed through the reception like she hadn't eaten in years. Within a couple of years she'd gone from looking like a cowgirl to a girl cow. It was not a pleasant transformation, trust me. Anyway, for several years everyone thought she was pregnant and would ask, she wasn't, she'd be offended, and then she did get pregnant and no one said anything because they'd all had their fingers burnt in the past. She finally had to get some of those funny shirts declaring the baby. Didn't help, once she'd had Remy she just got bigger all over again. Giselle arrived a few years later and only close family knew she'd been expecting. She never did lose the weight. Such a pity. Some people just have rubber elbows, can't push away from the table.

Loads and loads. I seem to put my size 4 in it alot. Last saturday night, I forgot to put my lipstick on. Once I parked, I saw a car with blacked-out windows. Could not see that there were any occupants, so I knelt down and put on my lipstick in front of the wing mirror.
Just as I had started, the electric window came down and a guy popped his head out and said: 'just right love, you don't need anymore'. Lipstick looked like I was impersonating the joker out of batman. Embarrassing or what? Face went bright red and even in high heels, I was out of there like a shot!

Try explaining to an offended lady that you hadn't really meant to say she was an OAP when you asked your son to give up his seat for her on a packed bus! She informed me in icy tones that she was only 49. Never doing that again....

How embarrassing and its for that reason I never ever ask if someone is pregnant because I can't tell the difference between fat bumps and pregnancy bumps. The only time I ever suggest that someone is pregnant is when they are sick in the mornings and can't explain why it is going on for so long lol.

One thing that I would be embarrassed at would be when I have to guess people's ages. I am atrocious at it so I just never ever play that game now and wait for the person to tell me. I struggle to identify ages as I struggle to remember my own most of the time as I don't really think about age - it doesn't define anything to me. If in doubt guess younger but I have in the past when really pushed guessed too young and looked like I am being stupid or guessed too older, thinking it was a younger age lol.

Funny thing is that, even though people ask you to guess and push you to guess they still get insulted if your guess is wrong. The whole point of a guess is that you don't know the answer folks.

I once told my boss that there was a woman on the phone for him & it turned out to be his son.
