Thank god I wasn't that dumb, I would have died from embarrassment

[–] tattletaletimes@lemmy.world 33 points 6 months ago

I 100% agree so it makes this story even better.

A friend and his wife were at a social event and his wife was very early in pregnancy, they had only told their parents at this point. A 70-something year old man in a suit walks up to them out of the blue and says congratulations. They are taken aback because they didn't even consider him referring to the pregnancy. He goes on to say he is a retired obstetrician and because of years of experience can just tell.

Ballsy move by the doc but he sure did know his stuff.

He was very embarrassed but it very well could have not been for him personally. Either way it was a dumbass thing to say!

He was very embarrassed and went for the adult diapers. My 17 year old gangly, awkward self didn't help the situation at all either.

In highschool I worked at a pharmacy. 30-something man looks lost so I ask him if I can help him find something. He says diapers and I assume he's a father so I stupidly say "the adult ones are right down there but you don't need those ha ha, the baby diapers are down aisle 1"

You can guess the rest of the story...

This is insane. Paying people to recruit for fake jobs instead of paying their current employees more...

Ya I find frequently I can order the product straight from the manufacturer's website for the same price or cheaper than Amazon. No Bezos middle man.

Why not combine the two?”

As a father, I take great pride in introducing my son to new experiences and cultures. So you can imagine my disappointment when we recently visited a highly recommended authentic Mexican restaurant, only to have my son order a burger and fries?

I mean, what kind of uncultured simpleton doesn’t order tacos or enchiladas at a Mexican restaurant? And to make matters worse, he doesn’t even pronounce Mexico with an H. It’s MEH-i-co, not MEX-i-co
