Me : Then say ice lah !
XC : Ha ha ha ha i don't know leh i was thinking of the word water so i just said water chips without thinking lor .

Yeah , happens all the time. You tend to blurt out something your mind is thinking about and most of the time it isn't your intention to do so .
I have many a times shouted to my collegue who's in charge of making the drinks
"One regular ten dollars !!"
Yep . Always happens when you have to shout the orders to your collegue and remind the customer about the total amount they have to pay.
But i think this has to take the cake when it comes to on-the-job bloopers
M ( she loves her vulgarities ) : hi sir , how can i help ?
Customer : Yes , erm , can you change these to coins ? ( passes M a ten dollar note )
M ( immediately without thinking ) : WHAT THE FUCK!?
I doubled up and squatted under the counter and laughed my ass off while M started profusely apologising.
The bottomline ?
Spend at least two seconds thinking before you speak. You may come across as slow-witted but so ?
