We have a regular pain in the arse client whom I always try to "kill with kindness." This guy is so incredibly frustrating for many, many reasons. At any rate, he called one day (a Monday in the truest sense of the word) and I was bending over backwards to help him. At the end of the phone call, he said, "Thank you for xyz."
Now. What I MEANT to respond was, "Thank you, no problem."
But what I said was, "No thanks, you're problem." ARGH!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then there's the time I was running late on my lunch break and decided to grab something out of the fridge before I headed back to the office. I grabbed what I thought was a diet coke....
Once at the office, my boss comes walking thru, "Uh, are you going to drink that?"
"Yep." Previously, he'd lectured me about drinking diet sodas, so I didn't think too much about it.
"You think you could, uh, maybe wait until after work?"
I turned around to see what the heck was so wrong with my diet coke and was absolutely mortified to see a can of Coors Light sitting on my desk.
Opps.

Of course I wasn't born yesterday and even I know that when you tell a joke it doesn't make you cry. 
It turns out that it was meant to go to a guy she worked with with whom she was having an affair. Apparently our names were next to each other in her address book. She said she was even thinking to herself *don't make a mistake and send this to Pam,* and that is exactly what she did.
