Grasping for Gratitude

When I was in college I had this big crush on this girl in my psychology class. One day I’m walking to the door and she comes out of it, and she’s kind of standing in the middle of the door, but still holding it open for me, so I have to squeeze by her. And I get nervous and confused whether to say “Excuse me” or “Thank you” and you know what I say?
“Skank.”
That’s what came out. No joke. And she looks at me like I…uh…well…just called her a skank. Which I did. So…I just busted into the room and pretty much had to let that one go. I don’t think there was any recovery from that.

Hilarious. I’ve been there, only it was in high school with this incredibly cute little blondie who had just arrived as a new student late in the year. I had to squeeze past her into the gym, and as she looked me right in the eyes up close I got a bit befuddled. Instead of being cool and just walking by, I stammered out “Excuser Moi”, which might be kind of cool if you used the right tone. Unfortunately, on top of stammering, I guess being nervous made me bark it loudly at her. It came off like I was being sarcastic and was annoyed at her for blocking the way.
Funnily I found out later that she totally wanted to bone me even after that. Unfortunately I had passed up the chance to bone her friend, and I had this weird oversensitive side in high school that kept me from pursuing the blonde in case it would hurt her friend’s feelings.
I think I’ve probably done 2-4 of these in highschool alone but I swear I’ve blocked them all out. I’ll repost if some of them break free/through.
The only save could have been, after she says “what??” you calmly say, I said “thanks” and walk away
