Employee Hilariously Accidentally Says 'I Love You' to Customer on the Phone, Sparks TikTokers to Share Their Embarrassing Work Slip-Ups

Listen, sometimes at work your brain just needs to be unplugged and plugged back in again. We've all pulled the accidental slip up like calling a boss “mom” or going in for a high-five while the other goes in for a handshake. They're wholesome mistakes that we can all get past. But when you say “I love you” to a complete stranger by accidents, well, the track record of coming back from that is very thin. 

TikToker Riaah aka @riaaahxoxo works at a tech repair shop and was on the phone with a customer one day when her brain seemed to glitch. “We're open 10am to 6pm," she says to the customer. “No problem, love you!” She hangs up the phone without even realizing what she had just done. Her coworker comes in with a baffled expression, “I love you???” She says as a question towards Riaah. The shock that comes over this woman's face is simply priceless. “Wtf was that??” her other employee says. "You gotta go.”

My 13th Reason

The employee in the video says the company is her family owned business, so it really have her coworkers some great material to use to taunt her in the future and they all had a great laugh. The video has gone insanely viral with 3 million views and for good reason. The capture footage of such a perfect and raw moment of embarrassment is epic. So many people relate to it that they've started sharing their own stories of wholesome workplace mishaps in the comment section. 

So many people can relate to accidentally saying “I love you” to a client while at work. It's a mortifying experiencing but always wholesome. Some say the customer on the other end of the phone probably also enjoyed the slip up. The TikToker says the woman just said, “okay bye” and even came in later that day and laughed about it with them. She also said while she was hanging up she was looking at her phone's lockscreen, which is a picture of her dogs, so maybe that's why she was thinking “I love you.” 

People in the comments are sharing stories of when they did the exact hilarious oopsie at work or modified versions like calling a client “mom” or “dad" or saying “thank you for holding me" instead of “thank you for holding.”
