We've all had them- you do or say something and immediately wish the ground would open up and swallow you.
A couple I can't put on here but one I remember- we were in Morrisons a few years ago when they were running the advert 'Shop at Morrisons and get POUNDS, not points'. The womans voice was on the speakers every minute or so and she had a very 'sing-song' way of chanting it that drove me mad. When we got to the checkout I said to the girl 'Doesn't that irritating sing song voice drive you mad, having to sit here and listen to it all day?'. 'Not really,' she said, looking me straight in the eye,'it's my mother'. I proceeded to dig my own large hole 'till my wife told me to shut up and run!
I'm sure some of you can beat that!
