Foot-in-mouth disease!

[Elita1]

I'm curious to hear what everyone's worst case of foot-in-mouth was!

I seem to be an expert at it but the one that sticks out in my mind is one time at university my Mom called me and told me my 19-year-old cousin was at home for her spring break and wanted to tell me something important.
She gets on the phone and I laughingly say:"Hey wassup, cuz! what did you want to tell me? you pregnant or something?"
"Actually"-she said after a pause-"Yes, I am".
OOPS:Q

So what's the most embarrassing foot-in-mouth situation YOU got into?? Let's hear'em!!!

ok, this is not about me but its damn funny.

A bunch of us geeks were at a buds house one Friday night about 2 weeks ago. Myself, a friend, lets call him joe, Joe's girl and another guy were standing around talking. Joe's girl is standing there with her arms around Joe. The subject turned to beer. I happen to like DARK beer as did most of the people in the conversation. One guy mentions he likes the tall head on the beer, which is fine. Well, it was fine until Joe pipes up with:

I HATE HEAD

He realized what he said, probably because of the silence that followed that remark....
His gf was like, "COOL!!!"

Hehe!

Guess I'm the only one on this board who's able to own up to it

I was bad-mouthing the tech guy at work and I turned my head and he was two cubes down...

He was a real jerk though... He made Nick look good....

 

[Elita1]

Missus...Nick who? ..sorry just ignorant

I thought you meant "Nick Burns" the SNL computer guy...

 

[yakko]

I told a joke that was kind of insensitive in front of someone affected by the source of the joke. Man I felt stupid.

 

[RGN]

I thought this thread would take off!!!

 

[Elita1]

Yep, so did I RGN. But it doesn't really stand a chance unless I type in large, highlighted letters "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US".
Oh well!

Elita, I've spent the best part of 22 years trying to forget something stupid I said - and I've done a pretty good job. I don't remember exactly what it was, but it had something to do with laughing at a woman who had a really bad speech impediment - turns out the girl I was talking to was her daughter. Hey, I was 11!

I know I've said really dumb stuff since then too, but if I dwell on it, I give myself a complex.

I called JonnyGURU your dime-a-dozen Italian once. He's French. Boy I felt dumb.

"...I'm the only one on this board who's able to own up to it..."

Heh, I'm just too lazy, so I'll tell you the same thing I tell the newbies. Use the damn search function! I've got hundreds of cases of foot-in-mouth disease right here!

I have called a boyfriend the by the wrong name before. Oh, the shame and horror!

 

[unxpurg8d]

LOL Isla, what's almost WORSE is looking up at the guy after you've been dating him for three or so months and drawing a total blank on his name.... even after doing the "a, b, c, d" trick. ARGH! HINT: Don't start laughing, and definitely do NOT admit WHY you're laughing!


That was before I learned the "call 'em all honey" trick. Heh.

foot in mouth?? I put my foot in my mouth tooo much. Just the other day, I was doing something , and i thought my brother had changed a password on our freesco box, so I hollored for him, at 10:30 pm, my mom and him come into my office like "WHAT?" Then I'd realized I'd been using the wrong password for that acct.
I put my foot in my mouth so much people I know expect it.

lol unexpurg8d...

I just got back from my daily walk and while I was out I was thinking of you...

I figured you would understand!

Heh, sometimes I think they are all the same man, anyway.

BTW... the same goes for my kids. I just say "Whatever your name is, come here!"
