The human brain is like a machine that occasionally glitches. Sometimes, the words in your head may not come out the way you intend them to. And it could lead to a hilariously embarrassing moment that you may not be able to shake off for a while.
Here are examples from people who experienced them firsthand. We’ve all been there, and as cringeworthy as they are, we will eventually end up looking back with laughter.
If you’ve been in this situation recently, feel free to share your experience in the comments.

I was texting back and forth with a guy selling a space heater online. I then started texting with a friend about the weird things we do in the doctor’s exam room while waiting for the doctor to come in. I texted “I always hide my bra and underwear under my clothes when I see my gynecologist.” I received a text back “that’s nice but are you still interested in the space heater?”

Received an email from one of my managers when I worked in a hospital that literally said: "Hi Reth, for your information. Kind regards " and the best bit is it was 100% unprompted there wasn't even a prior thread
