Tania: Left a wedding (drunk) and called the groom Wayne instead of Nick. Good friends of ours too. True story!
Michelle: "When are you due?" And she's not.
Padmini: When I asked my grey haired gynae if the kids in the photos in his office were his grandchildren and he replied " Those are my kids, I am still young enough to produce not only to deliver"
Ayanda: "Shut UP!" I said that to my mother-in-law when she was scolding my son for breaking a window...I mean yes she had to do it but it was too much for me to take it.
Antoinette: I phoned a company to speak to their manager. The lady said unfortunately he is late. I asked her what time will he be at the office? She said he is LATE, he passed away. I felt so embarrassed!
Tesh: when my daughter was too young to understand what sanitary pad was I told her it was mommy’s diaper, only to find it all over the living room floor and finding her telling my father in law that these are mommy’s diapers. I was soooo embarrassed.
Tanja: As a young beauty therapy student, the lecturer was demonstrating "extractions", (beautician speak for squeezing your pimples) and I piped up from the back "clear the building, we're gonna pop this sucker". The shocked silence was deafening.
Refiloe: Said to a mother of a girl in my class. Congratulations! (For pregnancy) she wasn't pregnant. I started laughing and apologising at the same time out of embarrassment. Luckily she laughed with me!
Nina: It was earth hour so my housemates and I played truth or dare. I don't know how but I confessed to urinating in the shower, they were mortified, was so embarrassed. They made me use dettol on the shower floor after showering for weeks!
And the winner is…
Thando: I said "Ayoba" right after praying for dinner instead of saying "Amen" and my mom gave me the strangest look ever.
