Awkward moment
I still cringe as I remember a painting job I did a few years ago. It was during my lunch break on the job, I had been texting the woman who owned the house I was redecorating, just clarifying a few things. While munching on sandwiches, I remembered that evening I was going to have a date with my beautiful wife. As I anticipated the evening with her, I conjured up a slightly suggestive text to let her know my feelings. But as soon as I pushed 'send' on my cell phone, I panicked, realising I had accidentally sent that intimate text to my client! I quickly sent her another one, apologizing profusely, explaining, "That last text was for my wife!" My client very understanding, but from that point on I could never quite look her in the eye! At least she knew I was very happily married, and she was happy with my painting work which is what really counts! Have you got a story more awkward than that? I'd love to hear any stories of your awkward moments on the job - or at home.
