Prease Forgive Me

(I am at a Thai restaurant one night with a guy I am seeing, and we are about to order food. I am still recovering from an ankle reconstruction; I’m therefore still on some painkillers which make me a little dim.)

Thai Waitress: “May I take your order?”

Me: *what I mean to say* “Can I pretty please have the Pad Thai?” *what I actually say* “Can I prease have the Pad Thai?”

(A moment of silence passed as the waitress thought about what I said. I was mortified and my date looked at me funny, and then the waitress lost it. Thankfully, she found it funny, especially when I explained the medication I was on. I made sure to give her a tip to apologise!)
