So uh, yeah... it's um...national awkward day.
We've all been there... that time you wish you didn't say that thing, or when you did something and felt instant regret? Those awkward moments that we can hopefully now look back on and laugh? LET'S SHARE. LOL
I'll go first:
I went to a multi-day training conference with a colleague where we had take-home exams. We were the only ones from the company so we always linked up during breaks. Towards the end of the conference, we decided to go out to the waterfront for lunch since it was an especially lovely day outside. We bought crabcakes to go and ate right by the water.
We chatted about everything, and then at some point I asked my colleague which courses and exams she took so far. She mentioned this one exam I finished, so I blurted out, "Oh yeah that was easy, I got 100% on that." to which she replied, "I got [significantly lower score]."
I only managed to utter "Ah." before stuffing my face with more crabcake and staring that the ducks in the water.

Shortly after beginning to practice law, I called a judge an idiot in open court. I didn't mean to say it so loud, and I thought I wasn't loud, but the acoustics were good. Regretted it for a long time, with lots of help from the judge.
