As a child, I noticed some cigars in my father’s car. I didn’t know he smoked cigars so I asked him if he did. He replied, “Seldom.” I misheard that as “Sell them”, and for a long time thought my father sold cigars…

I was once out for dinner with a couple of friends. Bread rolls came first, with triangles of cheese in a small bowl. I ate one triangle… and then another. I said to my friends the cheese tasted weird and asked what type it was. That’s the butter, they told me.

Was at a coffee shop and a girl yelled “anyone want a coffee? I need to spend $5 more to use my card.” I piped up and said I do. I offered her cash for the coffee of course but it was later that I realized she had a group of friends she was yelling at.

I once took my child to a meetup picnic for the camp she was going to attend. We brought food and stayed a while and ate and as we were leaving I saw the actual group across the park. We’d been eating with a local church group who were too polite to ask who the hell we were.

I was leading a presentation to a large group & one of my team members got up to present his part. After finishing he took 3 steps back & went to sit down in his chair but instead sat down on someone’s lap. Horrified they stayed like for the entire time, which we all could see.

I was once standing on small holiday tourist boat in turkey and the boat hit a wave and I overbalanced and fell forward, I steadied myself on a one legged mans stump as he was sat down. I think about that a lot

When I was 2 or 3 I saw a framed photo of some baby on my mother’s dresser and got so jealous I threw it on the floor. The photo was of me.

My grandmother in Brooklyn received a call from a young woman who said “hi Grandma” and they had a nice chat for a while until she asked about her sister and they realized they weren’t related.

In my teens I once brought a muffin back to an unnamed Canadian coffee establishment saying there were glass shards on my muffin. I had never seen sugar crystals on a muffin before. I still cringe.

When I was very young Mum and Dad were told by a neighbour that a local farmer was letting people help themselves to potatoes from his land. Dad filled a sack. The local paper that week ran a story saying “Farmers field ransacked” We had spuds with everything til they were gone.

Once I flagged down a minicab in London, got in back with my future wife, told him where to take us while giving him directions in between conversations about his home in Somalia. Got out & went to pay when he told me he wasn’t a cab and I had just got in his car! Very nice chap!

When I was 10 or 11 I had a friend who would often talk about his uncle “Richard.” For some reason I had this image of what a “Richard” should look like: tall, skinny & w/ glasses. One day while visiting, a tall, skinny man wearing glasses was chatting with my friends mother…

In their kitchen. I immediately presumed that this had to be my friends uncle Richard.
She said, “Michael, this is [my friend’s] uncle Dick.”
I shot back, “Yeah I know. He looks like one.”
That’s right folks. I called my friends uncle, a stranger, a ‘dick’ to his face.
