  • I had just met my future boyfriend and we were talking about horses. I made a scathing, sarcastic comment about a farrier being afraid of my horses because they are really big horses. Turns out Mr. Wonderful is a little bit "wary" of really big horses. I also told him after we were dating that I couldn't stand Starbucks coffee. Turns out he had sent a Starbucks gift basket to me that I had not yet received.
  • I told a lady she has a beautiful Granddaughter it was her daughter. The woman was in her late fifties early sixties with a two year old. WTF ever.
  • Just today.... I am a customer service rep and wholesale liason. I got an email (yet again) from a lady whose questions I had answered at great length. She made noises in her email that sounded like she was heading into "Selah isn't taking good care of me" land, and I wanted to head her off at the pass. So I sent a detailed email to my team expounding all the time and effort I'd made - and that this lady was being unreasonable and I was getting frustrated. AND I neglected to delete HER email return address from the address line. You guessed it. She got it and boy was she frosted! My boss took it all in good stride. He said nothing I'd written was offensive, and laughed it off. I was in tears, sent a massive apology, which was rebuffed. I then went to her website, where I found that she'd used copy *I* had written, along with photographs *from our website* taken without permission. I felt a little vindicated, but still don't like that I had to be reminded the hard way to double check that pesky SEND TO: box. :?
