    so, i was heading out with the work gang last night.

    had booked for a blowdry at the hairdressers.

    i arrived into the hairdressers, sauntered up to the desk and said "I've an appointment at 5 for a blowjob!"

    oh the shame :o

    the receptionist just laughed and my (male) hairdresser said "i thought twas just a blowdry today sam".

    cringe cringe cringe

    i had to leave a big tip to compensate

    Don't worry about it. It will be remembered for the rest of the time you go there but these things happen to everyone.

    i'm not sure i'll be going back there again!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,428 ✭✭✭sunnyside


    I'd be mortified, I probably wouldn't be brave enough to go back again either:o

    That's up to you but personally, I wouldn't let a silly mistake like this get in the way of availing of decent service. Otherwise I'd have to avoid a lot of places.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,073 ✭✭✭sam34


    you're probably right.
    i'll definitely leave it a few weeks though!

    That's the spirit. Don't forget to laugh it off when they mention it again. And they will mention again, people are bastards like that. Especially if they're friendly/your friends.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,967 ✭✭✭Pyr0


    Haha that is horrible ! At least it wasn't a guy receptionist or it'd go something like this "Grand, just meet me around back in 10 and we'll sort that out for ya"


    :pac: <====8

    :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,164 ✭✭✭seahorse


    Ha ha ha, oh you poor thing, God love you! :o

    When you go back in next time just say "No personal services required today!" :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,503 ✭✭✭✭jellie


    LOL!

    thanks, that really made me laugh, heh.

    you poor thing, id be mortified. similar to saying orgasm instead of organism in science class :o

    My mate did this giving a presentation to the class on Neurocomputation. I looked around the room for others who copped it; luckily for him I don't think many people noticed.

    Oh dear, mortifying!!

    I played auctioneer at a charity auction once, and when a lovely clock came up I told the assembled audience that it was the ''Nicest little cock I've seen in a long time...''

    It took twenty minutes for the laughter to die down completely.

    It makes me blush to just think about it.:o

    One day at work, my manager said to me that he was going to send me on an email with an attachment, to which I replied 'Something that big won't fit in my box'.
    I haven't worked there in years but I sometimes still wonder....:p

    I had a whole conversation with a delivery guy about how much my bush in the front had grown, telling him at one point 'I didn't even have a bush at all last year'

    Realised what had said about two hours later and felt self turning purple and smoke coming out of ears.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 198 ✭✭quinevere


    announced over the pa system in dunnes on christmas eve evening

    " good evening turkeys there is a special in our meat department " thinkfully i stopped before i announced the customer were now half price

    I hide under the service desk for about 10 minutes and nobody else could do the announcements without dying with laughter ... still cringe over it

    From reading this thread I know I'll end up saying it myself the next time I go now! Won't be able to get it out of my mind!!

    Ouch! I have a stitch from laughing!

    I once had to do an impromptu chat at a charity 'miss personality' (gaah!!) thing and the MC was asking about what I like to do with my spare time and I was crapping on about a mare I had at the time who "had a few loose screws".... :o I didn't even realise what I'd said til the laughter in from the audience became audible.

    Irony was that when I really wanted her to have a go she wouldn't have a barr of the stallion. D'oh! Not so loose after all!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 843 ✭✭✭PrettyInPunk


    Hahah I laughed a lot. But like another poster said next time i book a haircut that'll be all i think of.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,505 ✭✭✭✭DirkVoodoo


    I can't remember the name of it, but it was that little ice cream shop in Dun Laoghaire that was quite famous a few years ago.

    Anyway, my dad goes up to the woman at the counter and asks for a "69-er" the poor old divil, to which she replied:

    "I think yer in the wrong place luv!"

    People will think it was a Freudian slip and that you have those sort of thoughts on your mind constantly! What we say and think sometimes get muddled and you will always have a certain reputation from now on at that hairdressers unfortunately.

    It could happen to anyone I suppose!biggrin.gif You might have to wait for someone else to do something similar or worse for people to forget about your incident. Does this hairdressers have a high turnover of staff? If so it might be forgotten sooner rather than later and as time passes it will be forgotten about completely! Maybe you could find another salon for a little while?smile.gif

    nope, it's a small hairdressers, only 3 staff including the receptionist.
    and i think they make notes on what you've been chatting about, as whenever i go in they say "last time you were here you were going on holidays to x" or whatever.

    they're definitely going to write down this one!

    I'll be known as "blowjob girl" or "head-girl" from now on :p

    Could be worse, 2 years ago was sent to smyths toy shop on Xmas eve! to get some tank for the Gfs godson. Anyway as I had been out the night before I had the post hangover horniness. Couldnt find the tank so when up to one of the staff who at most was 18 and female and not bad looking at all and proceeded to say loudly as I was hungover (for reference see tommy tiernan where he goes on about the guy from Glenamaddy on the way home from london:eek:)

    Anyway what I meant to say was.. "any chance you could show me where this tank is" (had a pirint out) instead...

    "Any chance you could take me out the back for a w*nk":o
    Man I've never been so embarrased I actually thought I was going to pi$$ myself with embarrasement the shop was packed the aisle was packed and everyone was staring at me, I just legged it:D

    Have yet to go back into that store or any smyths store:D

    Op I feel your pain!

    Oh dear! Anyway cheer up. Worse things happen at sea! smile.gif Head girl is a good one though. There is also the possibility that if you go into the hairdressers again you might be trying so hard not to think of that word that you might say it a second time! Where would you be then...biggrin.gif Sorry, just joking!smile.gif

    Thats funny. I'm forever mixing up words and saying silly things but i cant think of anything right now.

    I fell off the weighing scales in the gym last week during my fitness test, and my instructor cracked up a joke telling me not to break it. Hope that helps you feel better.

    I went to a bike dealer to get some *tear-offs once and asked him for a pack of strap-on's.
    It was a long and uncomfortable silence that followed.

    *tear-offs are clear thin plastic lens worn across the goggles in motocross, so if your goggles are covered in mud during a race and you can't see you just pull a tear-off.

    My poor ol' mother went to the butchers the other day and there was a lady in the queue in front of her insisting that she wanted a male bird for Christmas. The conversation went on for quite a while and after she had left and it was my mothers turn, she turned around and very innocently said loudly.. 'Well I don't want any cock this Christmas!' The butcher, who is her brother, had to leave the shop in hysterics, not before calling to his son - Will ya ever tell your Aunt what she just said!

    If you didn't find it funny, don't post then! Pretty simple yeah? There are plenty of posts on boards that I'm like "you have to be kidding me, that's not interesting/funny or whatever" No ones making you post, or forcing you to laugh. Your reply to aonfocaleile's post was more of an over reaction (how were you made out to be the devil?) than anything.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 83 ✭✭aonfocaleile


    I certainly didn't make you out to be the devil *adele* and apologies if thats what you thought. It was intended as a light-hearted comment in a light-hearted thread, which, I was laughing out loud at (in the office).

    OP you have my sympathies and I'm sure you've jinxed me into doing the same next time I'm at the hairdressers!

    I posted saying it was an overreaction because the reply I read was going to make the OP think that she could never go back there. Which is bull****, she could easily go back and make light of it and nobody would be judging her. Why do people get so friggin hysterical?If it was so funny in the beginning,me saying that people were overreacting wouldnt ruin it for anyone? Dont let your life rely on other peoples opinions :)

    Pretty simple,yeah?

    Thanks a lot, between this and the 'cock' one I had to try to pretend I was having a sneezing fit to hide the hysterics I was in, having to bite my lips shut and hold my nose to stop from laughing out loud in the small office :D Quality!!! :D

    RELAX adele! I was only having a little bit of fun for flips sake. You are having a complete over-reaction. Life is too short to be worrying about these funny verbal mishaps. It is after all a funny thread. You sound almost hysterical with your post! sam 34 knows we are only pulling her leg! ( I'm glad I said leg there and not something else!)

    Yeah, if you read my original post properly at all I wasnt overreacting in the slightest. I just didnt imagine you were joking as it would be an utterly crap joke. My mistake.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 688 ✭✭✭UpCork


    I had this post in mind yesterday when I popped into the hairdressers to see if they could fit me in to get my hair cut. I was convinced I'd say the wrong thing if I asked for a 'wash, cut and blowdry', so I just asked for a 'cut' and figured that the wash and blow dry were self explanatory. Hahah. So this thread has made me wary of what you could say ;)

    Yes you are having a complete overreaction so admit that FIRST! Secondly, here was me thinking that women in general are better at reading people's emotions than men so your post puts a lie to that perception! Thirdly, everyone else on this forum seems to be taking the thread as a light-hearted discussion on a funny incident, that is apart from you! Finally, whether you think it is a crap joke or not is irrelevant as what makes people laugh is entirely personal. Happy new year!!
