Those humble pie moments
Discussion
Can't believe this really but just before the Mrs popped of to bed she said sorry and that she was very very wrong. I nearly fell off my seat.
We had an almighty blazing row over paying a deposit on a new kitchen. I refused to do it. Told the company I would pay some money as the work progressed and pay for the appliances in full when they arrived. Kitchen company wouldn't budge without a large deposit so I told them to forget it. The wife went nuts with me as now she won't have her new kitchen for Christmas and said I was being totally unreasonable.
Today the company (a local independant) went bust.
So what's your eating humble pie moments?

Not received, but had to eat, so to speak.
Aged 18, chatting to a bloke at college about a girl I went to school with. Claimed "knowledge" of her. An hour later, I'm sitting with someone else, said girl walks in (this was a good 50 miles away from where we went to school), spots my college friend, starts talking to him and then looks in my direction.
Embarrassment ensued.
Still, taught me a well-learned lesson.
More recently, I had to do the right thing and apologise to someone for being a total arse. While it took me an age to actually get around to doing, I felt so much better for doing so.
