I seem to do the same thing. Except it’s not what I do it’s what I say.

Yesterday after getting injured I asked my boss if I should go to the office. He told me to go to the bathroom.

While I was in there I realized saying the office was kind of dumb. When I got back I joked with my boss I said “I don’t know why I said the office, what are they going to do?”

We then joked about it.

For me personally, it was a huge relief to joke about my mistake.
