Another faux pas
Well this was one of my better ones.
Am discussing a secretary with a female friend, who I will label C. Conversation goes like this. Secretary will be referred to as K and mutual male friend as H.
DPF: I feel pretty sorry for K, having to deal with this crap.
C: I haven’t met K. Is she quite good looking?
DPF: Yes, definitely.
C: Oh yes, H has mentioned her. Said she is stunning and he would love to sleep with her, as she is so attractive.
DPF: [laugh] Ha, you don’t need to be attractive for H to want to sleep with you. He’d sleep with anyone given half a chance.
[A long long pause as DPF recalls C went out with H for around a year]
DPF: Ummm, I don’t include you in that of course. Oh shit, never mind – I’ll just have another drink.
