I was giving a takeout to a lady and i said thank you SIR, well i she was quite tall with short hair

oh the look she gave me:raging:
 
As a kid, in nursery - I didn't know how to ask the teachers if I can go to the toilet... I couldn't speak English at that time and only spoke Gujurati lol.

So this is what I done - I copied what kids do in masjids when they need to go loo. Hop on one leg and point to the toilet in the hope that the teacher would get it.

Everytime I look back on this memory, I see the template to my life... FACEPALM. I just don't get "it".

One day, at work I was talking to one of my clients, and it was a lady with a masculine voice. :p I took her NTID and said, "Thank you, sir." I said her 'sir' couple of times and she said to me, "Dont call me sir, I am a lady." :p And I said to her that I found her voice masculine so I presumed her to be a man.
That was very awkward. lol She wa not angry though. :p Infact she was laughing telling this to her colleague.
P.S. All this happened before I saw her account details...otherwise I'would have called her with her name...:-\

My older sister and I look exactly alike even though we are 4 years apart. The day we went to dinner at her in laws to be house, her father in law mistook me for my sister and started "teasing" me about my brother in law. OMG, I didn't know if I should bust out laughing or die of embarrassment

lol, I chose to die of embarrassment ::faints:: til someone pointed out I was the younger sister...then he died of embarrassment :P
 
This is the die of shame - and then die again moment of my life

I was at a friend's house larking about with her younger daughters. It'd been ages since I'd done a head stand, so I thought I'd try it then. I was half way upside down in the middle of the living room floor when her brother walked in :heated: I dunno who was more embarrassed, me or him..
 
You didn't put any warning before this post like "Fasten your seat belts before reading" :heated:

ROFL .........

lol guys.. :omg: it was enough to make everyone's heart stop for a few seconds as I came back down to earth the right way round and silently cursed the moment I'd decided to test my gymnastic skills.
 
I have done the mistaking men for women and vice versa on the phone thing many times. A lot of my job has me on the phone all day, so it's not uncommon to have one of those calls per day.

My sister looks really young, but she is in her 30's, married, with a teenage stepson. She was out with him one day and one of his friends thought she was his girlfriend. ;D
 
omg where was this thread :p hmm can't remember any awkward moment rite now can't stop laughing at the head stand post :p

Isnt she supposed to be a human being? I understand you don't like her but... Its just that i don't like ppl being racist and as a muslim its unacceptable! The girl din't have a choice of her colour or her looks!

Once I heard a car honking outside our home, I thought it was my dad, I thought he forgot something and went back to take it from home. I looked from my room's window and called hey dad dad dadddddd I'm up here what do you need. and then my brother's friend looked from the car's window saying salam 3lekum :hiding: (my brother's friend owned a similar car to my dad's even with the same color:\\ )
 
^Lol. At least you got confused cuz the car was similar. Once I put my shopping in the taxi, went to put the shopping trolley back and came back and jumped into the wrong car. I was surprised the lady didn't start screaming with fright lol.
 
:sl:

for work, i drive people to and from Doctor appts. there was this woman who freaks out and gets nasty if she is in a group ride, which is more than 1 destination and/or pick up. everyone dreaded taking her and she always complains to the parent company that we work for. after some contemplation, i realized it could be ptsd.

so one day i am picking someone up from her building, but i couldn't remember her name...

so this woman comes out and gets in the car. i turn to her and said, "i have to pick up someone else." she simply replied, "OK"

i breathe a huge sigh of relief. and then...in a momentary lapse of reason, i say, "Thank God. there's this woman who lives here that freaks out every-time she is in a group ride."

...

"Oh, that's me!' she says...

:hiding::hiding::hiding:

i recovered quick though...

"ptsd?" i asked. she said yes. i told her i was picking up a guy and asked her if she wanted to sit up front, she did. when i picked up the guy, she opened her window. [i now know that this is a sign. women don't generally say that they've been raped and have ptsd.] the guy in back said it was getting kind of cold, but i let her keep the window open.

talk about foot in mouth disease though...

:wa:
 
does anyone feel awkward saying assalam alaykum to people who are already in a conversation? There aren't that many people that attend Isha, so everyone is already in their small group and it just feels weird giving my salams. some dont even reply back, they just shake my hand and continue talking with there friend...
