Instant Horror

Sooooo, funny story:

The other day at work, as I was walking into the women's room, a colleague was walking out of the men's room. Cordial hello. I did my business and walked back into the Bookstore just as the same colleague was walking out...

I was totally referring to a conversation we had had earlier in the day when I said to him, “Oh, that exhausted me.” 
 

Instant horror. Raised eyebrows.

“NO! I meant -- I was referring to our conversation from earlier today!! I DIDN'T MEAN --  oooh man!”
