What's the dumbest remark you've heard yourself make...

OK, I'll go first----

It was a busy day in our pediatric office (what day isn't??) and I was running ragged, rooming patients, helping other staff, etc. and in between crises helping answer the phones-----I picked up a line that had been on hold for a while and chirped "Thank you for helping--can I hold you???" Needless to say, a good laugh was had by all....

Or the time I was working in the hospital and had walked in a patient's room. He was asleep; his phone rang and I answered it--it was his family, checking on how he was doing. My reply--"Oh, he's dead to the world..." (Southern for "He's sleeping peacefully"). "WHAT???" "Uh (prying foot out of mouth), I mean, he's fast asleep....".

Yikes!!! PLEASE make me feel not so all alone by relating some goofy things YOU'VE said....

this isn't something i said, but rather my husband.

he had had a biopsy done on an area of his back, and wanted to call the MD's office to see if the results were back yet.

he was all cheery and bright... "hi sarah! it's xxx calling, and are you having a good day?" she replied and they had a brief happy conversation.

then he said "is my autopsy report back yet?"

total silence on the other end of the phone. then muffled giggles. followed by hysterical laughter.

hubby realized by this time what he had said, and was laughing too hard to talk.
after a minute or two, they both calmed down, and she told him that he was pretty cheerful for a dead guy.

Can't think of anything I've said right now but how many of you knock on every door before you open it.....even the galley, the utility room, the supply closet etc!!! I always feel so stupid when I knock on the door of the break room before opening it to a room full of lunching staff all laughing at me!!!! DUH!

HIPPA would be so proud of me I give EVERYONE and EVERYTHING full privacy!

"You know, in the obituary! Oh, that right..I'm not dead!" We both laughed so hard his cardiac monitor was alarming and the nurse told us to stop all the giggling
