No, it would cost $200 to have it done during emergency hours I think. Sounds like she called outside of normal business hours, since it's a Sunday.

I've had cringe things happen in my life, but this was physically painful to read. In the immortal words of Zuko

Use a Matte finishing spray for make up. It's an old tip I heard from a boarding school administrator when we asked how he stopped his shiny head from reflecting in photos. Apparently back in the day you would pat your head with baby powder then apply hair spray but cosmetics have evolved since the 60s

Reply to TIFU by mispronouncing a friend's name and saying a slang for homosexual instead. by Nervous-Result-7836
As someone with a... unique name, this sounds like my reaction to hearing my name mispronounced in a way that has previously been used as an insult. It's likely you just accidentally struck a nerve.
It's less awkward if you don't continuously probe him and apologize again and again. Just make a very deliberate effort to never make that mistake again. Make an effort to perhaps invite him out to lunch at a place where you will not be invited to make an ass of yourself (i.e. don't invite him to a Japanese steakhouse owned by white people and try to pronounce the menu items).
