Faux Pas, what's yours?

[Stella]

Some of us have already “owned-up”…

Have you ever made a bloomer?

When we first arrived in the village…The Secretary at the Mairie introduced me to a very large lady. I misheard and got the words Enceinte and Enseignante confused… I cheerfully asked the lady when she was expecting her baby… (turned out that she was the Teacher and she had not lost the excess weight from her last pregnancy…I felt so embarrassed.) Fortunately, she saw the funny side of things… and we have been the best of friends every since… So… have any of you dropped yourselves in it… and, if so… are you brave enough to share the details…???
