Alright, buckle up for the tale of my accidental slip-up during a chat with my boss about MRI scans!

So, there I (F) was, having a virtual chat with my boss (M), casually discussing work-related matters when suddenly, out of nowhere, the conversation took a sharp turn into the realm of medical procedures. Before I knew it, we were knee-deep in a discussion about MRI scans. Now, let me just say, I have this thing called claustrophobia, which basically means I have a deep-seated fear of tight spaces.

Feeling the need to share my apprehension about MRI scans with my boss (because, you know, bonding over shared fears is a thing, right?), I blurted out, “Hey, I’m kind of freaked out about getting an MRI. Do you think they’ll sedate me beforehand?”

Now, at this point, my brain had already taken a coffee break, and my mouth decided to go rogue. Instead of saying “sedate,” it chose to utter the word “seduce.” Yep, you read that right – “seduce” instead of “sedate.”

And you know what happened next? My boss, who up until that point had been all serious and professional, suddenly burst into fits of uncontrollable laughter! Meanwhile, there I was, frozen in horror, realizing the monumental goof-up I had just made.

After what felt like an eternity of laughter (but was probably only a few seconds), my boss finally managed to compose himself enough to assure me that, no, they probably wouldn’t be trying to seduce me before an MRI. And with that, we both dissolved into another round of laughter.

Needless to say, the rest of the call was a bit awkward for me, as I couldn’t shake off the embarrassment of my slip-up. But hey, at least I learned a valuable lesson: always double-check your words, especially when discussing medical stuff! And who knows, maybe my boss will now forever associate MRI scans with seduction – talk about an unforgettable office moment!

TL;DR: During a call with my boss, I accidentally said “seduce” instead of “sedate” when discussing my fear of MRI scans due to claustrophobia. It led to laughter from my boss and left me cringing with embarrassment for the rest of the call.
