One time I tried to say “take care” after ringing up a customer. I opened my mouth and for some reason I was unable to make a noise except for a very small “t-eh” sound initially and by the time I remembered how to make words I had to shout across the store for them to hear me. What I ended up saying was “Take over!!!” after which they glanced back at me uncomfortably and left without another word.

I am haunted by that interaction to this day.

I have regularly answered the phone with the wrong job greeting even if I have not had the gig for like a decade.

When I was a tour guide I realized that as someone who often used the same intro words more than once that meant if I wasn’t paying attention it could get me leading into the wrong description at the wrong time. Nothing like pointing to the ocean and starting to describe a building you went by an hour and a half ago, and which has not magically appeared in the sea.
