Was talking to my girlfriend on the phone while also scrolling through emails. She said something sweet, I wasn’t fully paying attention, and due to many busy works and absentmindedly replied,

“Love you too.”

The problem? I had just switched calls. I had accidentally answered a client call from work without realizing.

Silence.

Then a gruff voice goes, “Uh… I love you too?”

I nearly choked. I stammered something like “Sorry! Wrong call!” and I hang the phone but the damage was done.

Now every time we talk, he ends the conversation with “Love ya, bud.” I’ve become the office joke. Even other client/coworkers who knew the story tease me with it.

TL;DR: Told a work client “I love you” by accident. He now says it back. Every time. Thats Gold.
