I won’t open up.

The missing glasses.
“I got off a red-eye, very sleep-deprived, and realized I forgot my glasses on the plane. I asked the very kind gate agent if she could go check my seat to see if she could find them. While she was gone, I touched my face and felt my glasses. I was mortified and apologized profusely when she returned.” – u/liam-itchy-dad
The family affair.
“I was student teaching and discussing my weekend plans to visit my cousin. One teacher said ‘oh, you’re visiting your cousin? I thought you said you were going to visit your boyfriend.’ In an attempt to gloss over his mistake and communicate the sentiment of ‘no worries,’ I instead shrugged and for some reason said ‘same thing.'” – u/sullywhynot
The tax deduction.

I’ll have a McFluffy, please.
“Pulled up at Hungry Jacks drive thru, ordered nuggets and a McFluffy. Hysterical laughter over speaker, ‘Ma’am it’s a McFlurry, and this is Hungry Jacks.’ My teenagers still bring it up.” – u/thebunyiphunter
The dog brand.
“While out for a walk I admired a cute dog. I wanted to ask what breed it was but my brain wasn’t working. Instead I asked ‘What brand is your dog?’ which startled the owner, and myself. My attempt at correcting myself resulted in me blurting out ‘Species!’ which only made matters worse.” – u/factchecker8515
Have a good number two.
Have you ever left a store and had a cashier tell you, “have a good one”? Well, this casher accidentally said that when they unlocked the bathroom door for someone. LOL.
The BJ… restaurant.

The brain f**t.
“A couple of months ago, I got up and drove to work as usual. Later, my girlfriend texted me from home to ask me if she had left her sunglasses in my car. I told her I wasn’t sure, but she could grab my spare key and go check. In my car. Which I had driven to work.” – u/Devonai
Behold, I have made wine.

… Basically, this person thought they were Jesus and created wine.
The accidental burn.
“In my freshman year of college, I was dorming next door to a couple cute girls. About a week into the first semester, one girl walked from the co-ed showers to her dorm room in her towel, still wet. We were both unlocking our doors to get in our rooms when she looks at me and says, ‘I know I look stunning…’ (sarcastically). To which I replied, ‘Don’t flatter yourself.'” – u/Strongbad23
The rabbit dog.

Stay high.

No thanks.

This is kind of like when someone tells you to have a good workout or some other service they won’t be partaking in and you tell them, “you, too.” So. Awkward.
The smelly answer.
“I’m in this café to leave a bunch of flyers I made. As I’m leaving, the waitress tells me she likes my perfume. Normally, I’d pick up on this as sort of a chat-up line and politely diffuse, but because of COVID and a recent breakup, I’m just not in that mindset at all. So I just blurt out, ‘Yeah, I put on extra because I didn’t shower today. And I sweat a lot.'”- u/Leopold87
The poor advice.
“Chatting to a homeless guy on the street and he told me he was feeling unwell. I told him he should be at home, resting. It’s been 20 years and the memory of it still brings me out in a cold sweat.” – u/pigadaki
