I know better. I know better. I know better.
But I did it anyway.
We have instant messaging at work. No one uses the phone anymore – it is all IM. Here is how it went down.
“He is such an ass. He wants me to wait – OMG”
Yep it was in the ass’s IM window, not my friend’s window. The friend that I chat with everyday about this fella being an ass. He replied….
“Really?”
I quickly recovered: “Sorry wrong window, I was talking about my ex wanting me to wait on filing taxes to a friend, wrong window….”
Yeah, he knew it was made up – but I thought it was a pretty good recovery.
Just don’t do it folks.
But on the other hand about 6 months ago, he IM’d me about how hot I was and he thought I was smokin and he wanted to do things to me… He then said…. “ooops – that is really embarrassing – I was in the wrong window.” I think we are even – no?
Oh no! I can so picture how easily this could happen. Yes – a very good recovery! I think it sounds perfectly logical that you had been talking about an ex. This is a good warning to us all. I know I’ll be double checking next time I IM.
