What's the worst thing you ever just blurted out?

I used to work as a teacher for adults with mental retardation & developmental disabilities. When one of the guys I work with did something particularly stupid, I looked at him and said, "What are you? Retarded or something?" He replied, "yeah, heh heh, yeah, yeah."

When I was 3 or 4, my mom had her colleague from school over (she's an Indian high-school teacher).
"Mommy, why is Auntie Indrani sunburnt?"

The look on my mom's face was absolutely priceless

Mine had to be when I was around 8 or so. It was Christmas day and we were opening gifts and it was my turn. I opened a sweater from my aunt and my mom said oh that sweater looks so nice! I responded with.. This has to be the ugliest fucking sweater I have ever seen!

I still get shit for that 20+ years later.

lol, irl.

At the pharmacy check out counter with my son, who was about 4 at the time. The lady behind the counter had some form of skin pigmentation condition, splotches of brown and white on her face. I see my son staring at her like she's got lobsters crawling out of her ears, and I know whats coming.....
Sure enough " Hey lady, what happened to your face?"
Christ, there were at least 8 people in line behind us.

Not too long ago, I was trying to tie a balloon that had too much air in it and having trouble and said "It's too tight, I can't get it in" referring to getting the end through the loop to make the knot. As soon as I said it I realized how that totally did not sound right.

 

[TXHokie]

Can't remember the exact words but it sounded something like "Will you marry me?"

 

[Locut0s]

how'd that work out?

I've forgotten my boyfriend's name a couple of times, but it was a split second, brain fart kinda thing.

During sex?

When I was in high school, I was talking to one of my friends named Tiffany about how she thought guys were douchebags. The conversation went something like this:

Tiffany: "All guys are such d-bags. What happens if so-and-so (some guy that liked her) tries to rape me?
Me: "Don't worry Tiffany, you're too ugly to rape."

In the 70's, I walked into a Hispanic bar on the south side of Tucson. I wanted to use the phone to call for a tow truck because my car had broken down while coming back from a job interview. I was looking sharp in a charcoal grey pin striped three piece suit with a matching fedora. So, I walk through the door and pause because I was wearing sunglasses to wait for my eyes to adjust. The music stops like someone pulled the plug, conversation abruptly halts and someone knocks an ashtray on the floor. Somewhere between two seconds and, several lifetimes of silence passes by and, I say "I want to see everyone's green card." The silence deepens and several folks fade out the back while a couple get a better grip on their pool cues. I burst out laughing so hard, I had to sit down at the bar. The barkeep says, I don't know whether to throw you out or buy you a beer. I gasp out, "I'm pretty thirsty" between chortles.

Another one, from my sister, not me:

My aunt was severely burned when she was five, and it left scars all over her body for life. She is one of the sweetest people I know, is a very good person and everyone loves her. We don't mention her scars or her accident anymore because we don't need to-- they don't matter anymore. However, when we were really young, we were of course curious.

She had always been patient and obliging when we asked what happened, and our mother has told the story to us before (she had played with some matches while her mother left her alone for just a minute or two, and unfortunately caught on fire). One night, after I was probably old enough to realize it wasn't cool to keep asking what happened, and my younger sister wasn't quite there yet, my younger sister asked "why does your thumb look like that?" (my aunt's thumb is quite scarred). My aunt was clearly out of patience, she immediately starts crying and says, in a hurt voice, "you don't have to keep asking, okay?", and gets up to go to the bathroom. My sister didn't understand and seemed annoyed. I was pissed at her, and so was our mom. It was an uncomfortable dinner to say the least.

This is by far not the worst, but it is the most recent as it happened just last week. I was in the frozen food aisle at the supermarket looking for waffles. I get to right freezer but an employee is bent over restocking it. I say "Hey can you grab me some eggo's, man?" Then she turned around and I tried to play it off like I meant to say ma'am not man which just made it more awkward.

Yeah that's really not bad. I think I've even seen others use this with a woman in a hyper casual way.

I'd mention a current ATOT controversy, but I'm afraid I might get banned.

 

[NetWareHead]

Most recent was at a New Years Party with my friends. We had rented a house near Jay Peak ski area and it was late and we were all hammered. I see a group of my friends outside on the porch smoking cigarettes, so I walk outside to join them. Group of friends is 1 black guy and some white and hispanic guys. I walk outside and announce to the group: "Good evening negroes and gentlemen". Rest of the guys started laughing but our black friend wasn't too amused at first, but joined in with laughs after some initial anger

Does it involve comped edibles?

it was at a dinner with friends one night... I covered, but in my head, all I could think was "oh shit, oh shit, what the hell is your name?"

Wow, I've had some pretty serious fuck-ups, but nothing like this!

Racist and anti-semitic stuff I wouldn't post here.

 

[OVerLoRDI]

Was in a fight with a then GF. My friend texts me innocently asking how things are going. I accidentally text my summary of the fight, which included this gem, "I think she is an unbalanced bitch", to my then GF. This did not end well for me.

Also when I was quite young, probably about 5, I was visiting some friends my dad knew from college (or something like that). Their son was severely mentally challenged. Being young and stupid I asked his parents why they keep him. I don't remember the fallout from my actions, I think they mostly ignored my comment as they probably thought I was too young to understand, which was true. Still I remember it to this day, and it makes me cringe.

Meh, it wasn't as bad as it seems. We're a cool group of friends who've known each other since childhood and regularly rag on one another. Even funny racist comments are not taboo as long as done in good spirit and humor.

A couple of years ago my parents sold their house. Before they moved, my mother wanted to have one last Thanksgiving at home, and she invited everyone, including extended family that we never see. One of my second cousins showed up with his wife and 3-year-old son. I barely knew the guy, and had never met his wife or kid. There were a few kids there and they were playing in another room most of the night. After the adults finished dinner, my sister and I went to see what the kids were up to (her son/my nephew included). After a few minutes it was pretty obvious that my cousin's son was trying to talk to my nephew (they're about the same age). I couldn't understand a word he was saying, but I don't have kids and don't consider myself an expert, so I ignored it. A few minutes later his mother comes by and has a full blown conversation with the kid, even though his half was gibberish to me. I turned to her and said, jokingly, "Oh, you speak baby?" She stared at me for a second before informing me that he has debilitating speech impediments, and then storming off with him. Oops?
