So, last night I was talking to my girlfriend... and accidentaly called her by an ex-girlfriend's name.
There was this long pause afterwards, which seemed to last forever, I suppose it was an "Oh ****" moment for me and a "What the ****?" moment for her... but anyway, needless to say I feel absolutely horrible about it. I wasn't even thinking about that other person, but for whatever reason I said her name.
Has this ever happened to any of you?
Never getting any,
Brad

Yep.
-
That's why everyone is named babe to me ;)
I strongly recommmend it.
-
When I was younger, I think I did that once or twice. Both times....I think I tried to play it off, but I don't think it worked.
-
A simple Fruedian slip. :o
You weren't thinking of her consciously, but you were unconsciously.
As long as her name was followed with "Oh yeah......." ;D
-
Just say you had been to the dentist earlier and you were still getting over the anaesthetic they gave you.
Works like a charm.
-
Yep.
That was about what I was gonna say and leave it at that, but yeah... I've done that. Sometimes it's just what's going through your mind at the time, be it someone else's name or whatever... I've called girlfriend's "mom" because my mind's still on a conversation I had with my mother or something... **** happens.
She shouldn't be mad at you Brad, it's an honest mistake... Now if it comes out while you're getting freaky then there's something to be pissed about.
I've found it's better to just keep quiet or make animalistic noises... Names just confuse matters.
-
Yep.

I was going to change it so it didn't seem like I was just post padding, but I think that fits it perfectly.
I've done that mom thing too :P

If you really want to talk about embarassing situations.....
One of my girlfriends in college (many moons ago) lived off-campus. I found myself spending a lot of time at her apartment instead of my dorm room. Whenever she was in the kitchen, I would get into this habit of lightly slapping her back cheek as i walked behind her (hey - she had a very sweet arse). She loved it and a kiss on the neck usually followed.
Speed time up to my first Christmas back home after spending so much time with "Stuff" (my gf's nickname). One morning, very sleepy, I walk through the kitchen and playfully pat MY MOM'S ARSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Talk about your Freudian slips! I suddenly became completely awake and just stared at my mom. She stared back at me and I stammered out "I have no idea what just happened", turned and left the kitchen.
BTW...it is better to blurt out an ex's name while talking, rather than if you were doing something else!
-
And it's better to blurt out anyone's name at any moment than to pat your mom on the ass. :) That's funny and yet somehow I really think you shouldn't have shared.
-
Slapped your mom on the butt? Woah.
"I have no idea what just happened."
I actually used that same phrase word-for-word after saying the ex's name.
Luckily for me, the gf is pretty cool about it - she said she gave herself a minute to decide wether or not she should be a bitch, but decided not to, since it was an honest mistake.
-
I do it all the time. To girlfriends and girls that are friends. I suck at life.
-
That's why you guys should date girls who are all the same name. It makes life a lot easier.

This reminds of the Bacardi & Cola commercial when they can't remember the girl's name. :P

Ha-ha! I had an ALMOST similar situation occur. When I was dating my wife I got into the habit of walking by her and lightly smacking her butt. It must be a relationship thing I guess? Well we went on a plane flight from Illinois to Arizona to see her sister and family. It was the first time I had seen her sister before. These two look very, very similar since they are sistera. Same hair lenght and body type. You can't really tell them apart from behind. Seriously.
I was serious about my future wife of course and wanted the family to like me. Well anyway, I thought my girlfriend was in front of me and I was not even thinking. I thought it was her in front of me. I was getting ready to swat her on the butt when my head figured out at that last instant it was the SISTER! I pulled my hand back of course. But man oh man I just about had a heart attack. What would have happened if I would have swatted my girlfriend's sister's butt? LOL!
-
that's awesome DB, i guess it made the family like you even more ;D

I dated three girls in a row that were all named Jennifer. I highly recommend not doing that. I could never date another girl with that name now. ;)
As for the wrong name thing; I've never done that but to this day when my phone rings at home I have this urge to answer it using this stupid "phone script" that we used at the support desk at IBM. And I haven't worked there in 8 years. But saying that stupid thing 40, 50 or even 60 times a day for 5 years really beats it into you.

I know what you mean. I answer my home line "Kevvo's!" sometimes out of habit. :-\

Ha! At least your's is short. Our phone script:
"Customer Service Center, this is Eric. May I have your employee serial number please?"
I'll get to the point of saying my name, stop, and then there's this awkward silence before I say I'm sorry and just ask "what's up?"

Do you ever answer it "Kevbo's"?

For a while, my mom had this really bad habit of answering our house phone, "Accounts Payable, this is Lorraine."
I thought it was pretty funny, but for some damned reason, I got the bug and answered our house phone, "Accounts Payable, this is Lorraine" a couple of times.
So akward.

"Hey Sarah? "
"Did you just call me Sarah?"
"Umm...No, I said, "Is sara beer in the fridge?"
