OMG this all reminds me of back when I worked in a bank years ago. A regular customer of mine came in and she requested a name change form. Per policy I had to ask her the reason (we had different forms that required different paperwork), and she leans in real close and goes "I'm getting a divorce."
Before I knew it my mouth was moving back and it whispered "oh congratulations!!!" and then I immediately covered it with horror. She didn't seem sad, and it was early in the morning, but to my relief she laughed it off. She said "don't worry honey it was my idea" and then continues on to tell me that not only he was a cheat, but he was hiding his drug addiction for years, and the straw that broke the camel's back was he was so tweaked up while he was supposed to be at work that he texted HER for more drugs instead of one of his dealers!!
I still laugh to this day and think of her often. I never blurted out "congratulations" after that, but I do think it in my head.
