Only counts as an adult..

Years ago group of us got on a plane heading to New Orleans. We stopped at airport bar before boarding. Had a few beers but not drunk. As we were putting away our carry-ons I said out loud to my friends and flight attendant while pointing to a sign that read "overhead stowage", "Hey look they mis-spelled storage"

That's a pretty good one.

Hmm... I'll have to think about this one. I've said plenty of stupid shit in my life to the wrong people.

I know at one point I was hanging out with a bunch of freshman in college. I was a junior. These girls were very attractive but drank like fish. I told them that beer was going to make them fat and they got offended. Way to go.

I asked a girl about 21 or so when she was due. She wasn't.

I had mistaken her for someone else who was newly pregnant.

Never ever ask if someone is pregnant directly.... do the smart thing and ask EVERYONE ELSE. Also, make a female friend or two who are gossip queens.

...or stalk them on Facebook nowadays.

Way too many to count, and being dumb enough to have said them, I don't think I'm smart enough to rank them.

I was at a party in college, at one point I ran into my friend's fuckbuddy and chatted with her for a few minutes, she asked me something about my friend, my brain shut off for 5 seconds and I heard myself say "he's just using you for sex." She went wide-eyed, needless to say my friend found out and didn't talk to me for a month

In college I was riding shotgun in a friend's car one night. We were stopped at a stoplight when another car pulled up next to us. The passenger behind the driver of the other car was wearing sunglasses. Being the dipshit I was in college, I opened my window and yelled "nice sunglasses!" at the passenger. My friend looked at me, looked at the passenger, and then informed me that the passenger was one of the blind students in his economics class. I felt like such an idiot.

(I know, not an adult, but this is priceless)

Teacher to my 3rd grade class, "Class, I have some bad news. The brother of one of your classmates passed away in a terrible accident."

Random kid, "When's the funeral?"

Teacher, "It was yesterday"

Class in unison "awwwwww"

Me, "Let's have a funeral RIGHT NOW!"

Class in unison "Yeaaaahhh!!!!!"

Teacher facepalm, mourning student crying.

I was a very odd child...

OK, dumbest thing ever said as an adult.

Me in an faux angry tirade
"Get out of my car and smell the sunshine!"

My cousin once asked, excuse me do you mind if I take off my pants to a girl he was trying to make a move on. I thought that was pretty funny.

Girlfriend to me: "I love you"
Me in response: "Thanks!" then took a big slug of my red wine.

Awkward dinner from that point on. I should have thought of something better to say, but I was caught off guard. Felt like an idiot. :\

When I came here from Poland I didn't ANY English.

In Social Study class>playing the game where you name any place in the world and person next to you starts with the last letter....

I ended up with N

First thing that came to my mind was "Niger" (since I didn't know English I said it exactly like we say it in Poland....exactly the way I shouldn't say it in America).

Teacher panics and looked around the room....thankfully no black people were in that class.

I didn't figure out what that meant until friends explained it to me......

Pretty sure I posted this before in another thread some time ago, but of all my stupid statements the worst would have been when I was going for my final interview for a job and meeting all the company bosses. I got the job and we all went out for lunch.

The person I had been in contact with for most of the process knew I didn't smoke and as we were walking into the restaurant (in Texas they all drink for lunch?) they were talking about getting beers.

He asked if I drank and I said no (I do, but not when I'm working). He looks at me and says wow, you don't smoke, you don't drink what do you do?

Trying to be funny (and calm my nerves) without missing a beat I ran my finger along my nose as I breathed in heavy and said well I sure LOOVE the cocaine. I regretted it as soon as I said it.

Everyone went silent for a moment looking at me, then they laughed. I was lucky everyone took it for the joke it was. But on the other hand, they had required drug tests anyway so :)

We were talking about the Tool concert at work that me and 2 co-workers had gone to, and I was mentioning some of my favorite Tool songs (of which this one was not played) and I said "I love prison sex" and a lot of people around me heard me. I honestly don't care too much but I had to clarify for a few people, what I was talking about.
