completely embarrassing
on the phone a minute ago:
me: hello, this is Adrian
caller: Hi, this is X.
me: Oh, hi X. how are you?
X: good. how about you?
me: good. how about you?
X: …
me: <awkward laugh> so….what’d you call about?

Note to self: don’t let brain go into autopilot.

I’ve done that a couple of times over the last year. It is very awkward and, like you, I didn’t really have any extenuating circumstances to justify it.
