After fasterblades little story in the movember thread, it reminded me of one I'd fucked up.
So, guy from another department moves to mine for short term cover. He plays on our 11 a side team and is a good laugh, always up for laugh. Usual office banter about doing each others mums and I drop the 'your mum was great, but your sister even cleaned me off after'.
He goes quiet, we are all oooooooh, got ya good there. Then he says, my sister died a few weeks ago of cancer. No one believed him, then as he tear'd up and left the office, he said 'remember the minutes silence the other Sunday, that was for her'. Fuuuuuck!! I'd really messed up, I didn't know what it was for, I was still smashed from the night before.
Anyway, he was ok about it in the end. But that was pretty bad, shows you just don't know.
