Accidentally said "muh me lele" to my female friends.
So, after our farewell, three girls from my class decided they’d go to a game zone and then out for dinner. The only issue? Their parents weren’t letting them go alone at night. Now, since I was friends with them and their parents somehow thought I was a decent, harmless guy, they asked if I could tag along. Me, being totally vella, agreed.
We went to the game zone, played bowling, won some plushies, clicked pictures, and had fun. I was just there vibing, maintaining a respectable distance so nobody thought I was a laundiyabaaz.
Then we went to a restaurant, ate a good meal, and when the bill arrived, it was time to split it. One of them took out her phone to divide it by four, and I decided to mess with them a little.
Me: "Nahi nahi, divide it by 3."
Her: "Kyun?"
Me (completely serious face): "Mere paas paise nahi hain, mujhe toh plan ke baare me pehle bataya bhi nahi tha."
Suddenly, panic mode activated.
Them:
"ABE PAGAL MAT BAN! PAISA DE!"
"Tere bina hum nahi bhar sakte yaar!"
I just kept my straight face and let them suffer for a bit. I was enjoying it.
They were saying "Hain tere paas paise jaldi nikal yaar"
But then, in the heat of the joke, I got too comfortable and almost said—
"Haan Muh me lele mera—"
The moment I said "Haan Muh me," my soul disconnected from my body. Error 404: Brain not found.
I immediately realized where this was going and stopped myself, but it was TOO LATE.
Their faces went from panic to absolute confusion. I spammed “Sorry, sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean it! Galti se! Slip of tongue!” like my life depended on it, pulled out my money instantly, and put it on the table before running off to the washroom giving myself a hard slap in the face along the way to reset my brain.
(I think they even saw me slapping myself💀)
When I came back, there was dead silence. All three were just staring at me—no smiles, no anger, just… confusion. We all got up, and there was an awkward silence so deep that even our shadows looked uncomfortable. We left the restaurant, I waited for their cabs to arrive, made sure they all got into their cabs safely and went home. And then I went home—fully knowing I had just ruined my image in ways I could never recover from.
Later that night, I texted them individually:
"Hey, I’m really sorry, I hope you guys reached home safely."
Their responses? Just a cold “Hmm.”
The kind of hmm that feels like a judge just sentenced you to life imprisonment.
So yeah, that was the last time I was ever trusted as a “responsible male guardian.” I have now been permanently blacklisted from girls' night-outs.
I don’t think I can ever look them in the eyes again. GGs.
TL;DR Tried to prank my friends by saying I won’t pay the bill, almost said something very questionable.
