1. Lets see if this even lasts....

2. My company does construction and I have answered the phones "Erotic Stones" instead of "Exotic Stones" at least three times.

Favorite awkward phone moments?

    At my last job, I was leaving a voicemail for our foreman on his cell phone and said "love you" at the end... Totally embarrasing. Thankfully he never said anything about it!

    I used to work for a "distance learning" school way back when before online became popular and was the receptionist. One day I got a phone call where the person asked what kind of sex-ed classes we had and started being very descriptive about courses he would like to sign up for with me.... I was choking in the laughter, but still trying to remain professional. Turns out, it was the guy I was "seeing" (fwb) at the time with his voice disguised, which only made me want ot laugh that much harder.

    I used to work for a place called Damianos (it was a realty) and I'd answer the phone saying "Domino's."

    I used to work two jobs for a while, both restaurants/bars, and I definitely answered the phone with the wrong place's name once or twice--I've also answered my home phone similarly. "Thank you for calling Southend Brewery [or other name] this is Kristin, how can I help you?" lol

    I used to work for Lane Bryant where we would sell plus size women's clothing. I used to play dress up all day and when something didn't fit just right my infamous line would be.........................


    "You just need a good Spanx!!!"


    Husbands would get a kick out of this....lol

    You get direct to a man after I mess up the greeting, you still want the number? He's sweet, Israeli, middle aged, moderately attractive...

    I've never worked more than one job, but I've definitely answered the phone with the wrong company before. I have to stop and think before I answer the phone so I don't say "Thank you for calling Great American Cookies at Lakeland Square. This is Diana, how can I help you?" instead of "Hello?"

    hahaha! I have a kid with Autism, and I'm active in my local community. I answered the phone calls for my local Autism support group for a short while. I've actually gone to hang up with complete and total strangers and had "love you" pop out of my mouth before I hit the end button. SOOOOOO embarrassing. Only one has ever called me back to laugh about it, though. hahahaa

    I’ve answered my work phone “hello” before. Nice!

    But speaking of erotic...
    I was refinancing my house a few years back through a friend of my mom’s. The owner’s son was helping me and he was supposed to get back with me within a few days and I didn't hear anything so I went to his office to speak with him. He was kind of flirting with me which was really awkward because his girlfriend was the receptionist...anyway I found out that he had tried to call me but his receptionist had transposed the last two numbers and he got a voicemail of a girl that was something like this (seductive voice) "This is Candy, I'm all tied up at the moment. I'm sure you've been real bad..." you get the picture. He thought it was a side business I had! I was so embarrassed! And then to top it all off he had my bank statement and was like “Victoria Secret, huh”. I changed my number right after that! Seriously!

    LOL! One of my sisters did that once. I say it all the time to my hubby on the phone so I can see how easy it would be.

    Now one for me, it wasn't a phone call, it was an appointment with an O.T. for my son. While describing his Nystagmus to her, I accidentally called it "Genital Motor Nystagmus" instead of "Congenital Motor Nystagmus." Soooo embarrassing.

    I've also dropped my phone mid greeting at least a million times.

    I temped at a place called Anal-gas, I couldn't believe that they didn't realise how ridiculous their company name was. It was a gas analysis company, so the first A was meant to be soft. It was really hard for me to say it right when I answered the phone.

    I have been known to call people (not knowing) and start belting out a song!! Very embaressing! Not as bad as my husband though...he called me one time while he was talking to his co worker, and I heard him tell the other guy: "Oh yeah, she gained a lot of weight after she had the kids." I was PISSED!! I still bring it up ;)

    My husband texted his teacher co-worker "did you get the hot sheets?" instead of hot cheethos. Hos co-workers husbands got the text let's just say he was pretty embrassed And doesn't text his co-worker any longer.
