Putting your foot in it

    Heard this today, friend of mine was going to propose to his girlfriend on xmas day. The g/f's sister knew about it as she had helped pick out the ring, so on xmas morning he was telling the sister that he'd take her for a walk down to the beach, before dinner and propose.
    So they set off down the road but they run into neighbours who join them on their walk, nothing he could say to stop them coming, so he didn't propose. As they return the sister comes running to the door and shouts 'congratulations' as they walk in, the fella throws her a dirty look and she gets the message, but the g/f already knows what going on.
    Needless to say his plans were ruined and the sister got a mouthful.



    Any other story's of putting your foot in it?

    Asked a girl I went to school with when she was due.

    She wasn't pregnant.

    She wasn't even what you would call fat.

    She just looked a bit pregnant in my drunken state.

    I said the same thing to some friend of a friend one night in the pub.

    She ripped into me and I came off feeling like a complete doofus.

    Had I asked her if she heard about WeightWatchers I may have gotten a better response!

    I thought for a second that you were Nicola.

    Anyway, sorry again Nicola.

    I wouldn't mind, but she's really good looking.
    Stupid drink.

    Even worse when you mistake someone for someone else who was recently pregnant and ask them how the baby is...

    Well, there was this one time when I got out of bed one morning, very sleepy and confused. Made my way to the bathroom. Showered, dried myself off, and went back to my room. Got a sock from the drawer, and put my foot in it...

    Nope. I read Glengarry Glen Ross at a young age and realised you never open your fucking mouth until you know what the fuking angle is. Fuck you!

    I turned to a friend of a friend a few years back during a discussion on what our parents do for a living and asked what his dad works at... his dad had just died!:eek:

    *Que awkward silence*

    Did that.
    "How's your Da? I heard he was in an accident a while back."
    He died instantly.
    "Shít. Oh yeah. Sorry about that."

    Similar one to that too.

    A friend's child died shortly after being born.
    We weree staning outside the graveyard and one of the lads said something funny about his ex.
    We all cracked up laughing.
    This carried on during the burial.

    It got so bad that we all had to move away from each other in order to stop ourselves laughing.

    Thank god other people have done this. I have 3 rules when going to funerals. 1. Never sit beside a friend. 2. Sit in an aisle seat as close to an exit as possible. 3. Never sit behind an old person, because the first sign of a fart, snort or creak and thats me done.

    Only happens at funerals :confused:

    Mine doesn't involve a funeral, thankfully.

    For my 21st, my boyfriend had a surprise trip to London planned, the whole weekend sorted, I had no idea we were going there.

    So I was in the car with my Dad a few days before my birthday surprise and
    he said: "When are you going to London with himself again?"
    Me: "Huh!? I'm not going anywhere?"
    Dad: "For your birthday?"
    Me: "I'm goin to London for my birthday? :D:D:D"
    Dad: "No, I didn't say that, forget we had this conversation"

    I acted surprised all the same :pac:

    Thankfully, it wasn't me who did it but a friend was flying to London with her brother and sister and they sat in the emergency exit seat. Next thing the air hostess comes up, first of all tells my friend's sister that under eighteens can't sit there ("I'm 23!") and tells my friend pregnant ladies can't sit there either...which she wasn't! :eek:
