Have you ever accidentally said "Love you!" at the end of a business call? I've absent-mindedly done it a handful of times in my life and it's mortifying, even though it really should just be something humorous to laugh about.

It just now happened to a vendor who I was ordering supplies from on the phone. The conversation ended with me saying "Okay, thanks much!" and her saying "Okay, love you!" Then a brief awkward silence before she hung right up. I could just feel the ohmygod waves through the phone.

But, I guess it's nice to know that when that happens, it means the person has someone(s) in their life who they say "I love you" to often enough that it's become second nature.

Sometimes I slip up and call someone "sweetie" or "wab" (another nickname [livejournal.com profile] thorbol and I use for each other) when I'm having certain kinds of (extremely nonromantic) conversations.

He's the person with whom I can be most straightforward and opinionated. So this happens sometimes when I'm really getting intensely into a discussion. It happened once when I was discussing work with a coworker who was also a good friend. It only happens when I'm really comfortable with someone.
