You know those times when you say something and, even while you're in the middle of saying it you already regret it? The expected response comes, and you are nodding your head in shame, knowing that the person is right?

This is the place of healing! Let it out here; lay your shame bare!

One that forever will stand in my mind was the time I saw an acquainance in the grocery store. I knew that she had been pregnant, but I didn't know about the expected dob. So I jovially inquired. Turns out, she'd had the baby a month earlier!!! Talk about wanting to crawl into a box of Count Choculas and letting a fat kid slop you down.

Yeah, a number of years ago I was talking to one of my workmates (and a neigbour) about the strange, old 'Scotswoman' that lived in a house down the hill. How she continually cornered me and talked drivill in such a broad accent, I wouldn't have been able to understand her anyway.
He looked at me and said "you mean my mother".
Couldn't get out of that one!

There is a girl I know who has a chronic disease so that she can't have children. She's a good friend and she's been married to a good friend of mine for two or three years and they are a great couple.

I came back during Christmas and for some stupid stupid reason I had forgotten about things and I asked, "So, when are you two gonna make some babies. Name the first one after me!"

It would've been a lame joke anyways, but with the circumstances I just wanted to crawl into a Saddam Hussein-style spider hole and let somebody pour concrete all over me.

Visiting some clients' home in Korea, there was a high school girl there one time.
After a bit of conversing, I said, "Your English is pretty good, where did you learn?"

Hostile response: "I'm American. This is my first trip to Korea, I know nothing about Korea, and don't speak Korean. I'm just visiting distant cousins."

Oops.

Why is that an oops? You're in a Korean home, she's Korean, she didn't mention the fact she's American in her introduction. How does she get off being hostile to a natural question in that situation? She was a rude little twit.

I just got to my dad's house for a Sunday visit, when I saw someone I didn't know sitting with them on my dad's front porch. I walked up to this reallllly overweight (think the clumps) woman and say, "I don't think we've met,". She says, "It's me, Cheryl". turned out it was a family friend who I hadn't seen in about 6 months. Her boyfriend had really burned her in a bad breakup, and she had just started eating non-stop to deal with the pain. Guessing she had gained 70 or more pounds. I have never felt more embarassed, just wanted to go crawl into a hole.

I don't know if this counts as an "Oh, now I f&%$ed up" in the way that you meant but I have had some interesting things come out of my mouth.

I used to work for a language school in Vancouver as a teacher/activity director. One day we were having a meeting to discuss the upcoming Easter party and what we should do to make it fun. Well my head wasn't all there, I was focusing more on my delicious subway sandwich Wink when I was asked by one of the ladies in my school, "James, what do you think we should do"? Well I had two things running through my mind. One was of course to have a treasure hunt. I was thinking we could hide a small treasure chest in the school and the students who followed all the English clues to it's location would be rewarded. Well let me tell you what comes out when you combine the words treasure chest and treasure hunt. Yep, you guessed it. In front of an all female staff I casually stood right up and suggested we should really try having a TREASURE C#NT!

I tell you, It was like I was in the matrix. Everything slowed down as if I were in "bullet time". The reactions on everyone's face were priceless. Luckily everyone burst out in total laughter after about what seemed an enternity. Man, it took me a while to live that one down Shocked

Ahh nice one. I had a similar incident last year. I saw my step-grandfather's ex-wife and current husband, because they adopted my cats when I came here. For some silly ass reason, as I was leaving I said, "Nice to meet you." They gave me a weird look at that and I just walked away as fast as I could.

There was a band in my uni that sometimes had gigs in churches.

One of my friend's fathers, a man in his late 60s, came to the atrium to was talking to the drummer saying, "Hey Darryl, you did a very good job playing the drums on saturday. You sounded really good at that church.


I had a fairly open, funny relationship with the old man. I said to him, "So Dr *OOK, did you throw your painties on the stages at him? Did you scream ' Darryl, I want to have your baby!".

Dr. Cook, uncomfortably said, "Actually ___, it was a funeral".



ouch.

Calling a girl by another girl's name. At the absolute worst fucking time imaginable.

Benicio? Here on Planet Guru, that's even worse than what I did. I'd never be able to live that down.

I worked at a Wendy's back in college. The drive-through window was set up so that you could see the front of the car that was ordering at the speaker thingy. I saw a girl pull up in a convertable with her dog sitting in the passenger seat. She ordered a drink, some fries and a burger and then added on another drink. "Is that one for your dog?" I asked. As the car pulled forward, I saw that her dog was actually a female friend who was slouched down in the car so that only her hair had been visible from the previous angle. I had a manager come over to take the money and hand out the order.


And there was the time my wife's aunt died. I was in charge of writing the obituary but when the paper replaced an "a" with a "c", problems and hilarity ensued.
