Balls To The Walls Confusion
(I’m the idiot in this story. I am in a store that sells exercise equipment. I am having trouble finding a particular item, so I track down an employee and ask for help.)
What I Should Say: “Excuse me, sir, I would like to know if you sell yoga balls. I can’t seem to find them.”
(What actually happens:)
Me: “Hey… uh… Do you have balls?”
Employee: “Excuse me?”
Me: “Do you have big balls? I want giant balls.”
Employee: “Uh… I don’t think I can help you with that.”
Me: *thinking I was being very clear* “Okay, thanks, anyway.”
(I left the store and didn’t realize what I had said until I was almost home.)
