The schoolboy error
I commit a few errors of a schoolboy nature, but I thought that this one deserved the label about as much as any other error I've made.
As I have described in many other posts, our office building has a communal toilet consisting of 3 stalls. It's very intimate, and on occasions, very crowded.
One day, I walked into the toilet to be greeted by the most hideous stench coming from a newly vacated stall.
Without even thinking about the consequences, I exclaimed "Jesus Christ! That's disgraceful!".
I hear uncomfortable shuffling, and look to my left to see that one of the other stalls is occupied, and the occupant clearly believes that my comment was directed toward him.
I wasn't hanging around to cope with the awkward silence at the sink situation, so left sharpish.
You get the idea though.
