Tonight on my way home from Sydney I made an utter idiot of myself. A real foot in mouth moment, if you will.
Before I share though, I searched high and low on Pinterest and Google Images to find some kind of witty, visually appealing image to insert, that really encapsulated that foot in mouth feeling. I found nothing of the sort, but I did see this, which made me giggle, so I decided it was my duty to share it.

The train had been stationary at Springwood – about 45 minutes from home – for a good 40 minutes or so and we showed no sign of going anywhere in a hurry. I was hungry, thirsty, tired, bored, careless.
Our lovely co-op lady texted to say that the lamb we had ordered would be ready in two days time and could we pay before hand. When I placed the order a couple of weeks ago I asked for as much notice as possible for a delivery date so I could budget accordingly (because sometimes the meat is available one week later, and other times it takes a few weeks to arrive) and was amused with the minimal time between notification and pick up.
I forwarded her message to Tom for him to read and then followed up with a slightly snarky message to him.
Except. Well, I didn’t send it to him. I sent it to her, plus a few other random people who were at the other end of the group message.
It took me all of about half a second to realise what I had done and I promptly replied with a couple more messages.
And then I giggled, and giggled and giggled. I wrote an apologetic message to Mrs Co-op and then giggled some more. Because sometimes you just have to laugh.
What an idiot! What else could I do except laugh and apologise? Every time I looked at my message for the remainder of my long journey home I burst into fits of giggles.
Except when I thought about the fact that now I have to go and see her tomorrow to give her said money. That bit isn’t so funny. That bit, I suspect will be somewhat embarrassing.
Have you ever made an utter dick of yourself? What did you do? How did you react?
