I work at a Canadian bank, and in a call today with my new boss (our new Director) and my colleague manager I said something incredibly dumb.

He mentioned that he and my fellow manager just realized they share a birthday. I said “oh wow, what day is that?”, he says “I’ll give you a hint, you will never forget it!”

I akwardly said “9/11? It’s not September 11th is it?” He covered his mouth and slowly said “nooo.” “It’s November 11th…”

November 11th is Remembrance Day in Canada… the slogan is lest we forget…

I played it off by immediately saying “oh wow, my birthday is in November too.” Which is true but woof… way to make an impression…

I am a fking idiot lol.

TL;DR I suggested my new boss was born on the anniversary of the great tragedy, 9/11…
