My keigo still fails me at work… share your most cringe moment
# 日本あるある 👁 160♥ 4💬 2
Four years in and 敬語 (keigo) STILL trips me up at work. Last week I accidentally used 尊敬語 for myself in front of a client and my coworker's face said it all 💀.
Let's make a fun confession thread — share your most cringe Japanese mistake at work or daily life. Mine:
・mixing up 伺います vs おっしゃいます
・saying ご苦労様 to my boss (apparently a no-no 😅)
We've all been there. Drop yours so we can laugh and learn together — and maybe save a newcomer from the same fate 🙏
