Oh sister, where would I start in answering this question?! I have had too many slip-ups to name! Subhanallah, we can laugh and learn
I'll start with one from my mum, from back before I reverted...My mum, she's respectful of Islam and of other people's beliefs, but she just knows little about those but her own, y'know? Anyway, one day I introduced her to a Muslim friend of mine, and my mum was like "Hey Mohammed, come in...settle down...would you like a beer?". I couldn't have been more embarrassed if I'd tried, but alhamdulillah she's my mother and I love her, and luckily the brother saw the funny side!
Another one, I was in Abu Dhabi last autumn, and I was driving an automatic-geared, left-hand-drive car for the first time, which led to mass confusion...I passed a bunch of worshippers heading to the nearby mosque, prayer mats tucked under their arms, as adhan was calling right at that moment. So I was like OK, drive slowly, pass respectfully..which I did. However, it started to rain, it rained in Abu Dhabi for the first time in like forever, which just happened to be during my first trip there! So I had to switch on the window wipers in this confusing car, but accidentally hit the horn, making it sound loud and long...not once, but twice!
Also in UAE, on another occasion, I noticed that my hotel toilet (and every other toilet I'd encountered thus far in UAE) had a hose attached to the side of it, and a nozzle on the end out of which water sprays. I was like woooooooooow to my friends, come and see this, it's a foot cleaner or something! Through their laughter, they managed to explain that it's used to clean yourself properly after using the bathroom! This was after I'd sprayed the thing all around the place like a kid with a water gun!
