That awkward moment....

....after you slag someone who actually has a disability/disfigurement/whatever.

We've all been there (whoever says they haven't is a LIER!!)

What's your worst moment for it?

I hope you don't have dyslexia, or else I'll feel bad for pointing out that you spelt "liar" wrong.

the awkward moment when a mod points out a couple of complaints from two days ago when you were langers and yet still managed to blog on boards on your phone even tho you recalled it until that flashback you just had

I've not been through that. But once I said to a girl, "aw wow are those flowers for me?", as she held a bouquet. She said "No, they're for my mum's grave."

Thought you meant slag someone to their face after making a mistake or something, nevermind, or slagging them behind their back. Dont really see the latter as being embarassing, just petty and childish

took me a minute to actually cop what you changed

It happened to me twice. I felt awful after it!

First time was just before xmas on the toy show. It was the part where all the kids demonstrate new bikes and tractors etc. This kid came out on the new scooter where you have to stand with legs apart and swing side to side. This particular child was really over doing it and I remember saying in a room full of my mates... holy ****..what is going on there! is she drunk or something? And then I realised and felt like the biggest bitch in the world!

The second time was the other night i was watching this crap programme on C4 about chipendales. Except these were not your ordinary chipendales. It was more like the full monty. I remember I started laughing but then as the programme went I on I realised they all had a slight disability like a limp or a shorter arm.

And before I get eaten out of it for my ignorance, I dont look perfect either!;)

I was starting in a call centre with a bunch of people around 11 years ago and the job involved a lot of typing, so I had a lot of pity for the poor guy that had a broken arm.

I went up to him during a break, pointed at his empty left sleeve and said something to the effect of "jayz, fairly unfortunate to break your arm starting a job like this!"

As you've probably guessed by now, he lost his arm in an accident a number of years beforehand. I apologized/yelped in absolute mortification and have never made such a presumption again.

Chuck Stone

Well...

I was having an argument with this guy in the pub once and it got very heated and he insulted a family member and I stood up and said

How dare you - stand up Sir and fight me like a man!

Turned out it was a woman in a wheelchair with no arms suffering from schizophrenia and she thought I was planning to kill her - you know the - usual mad stuff.




may not actually be true.

Fago!

...when you get a boner in class.

Fago!

My mate was quoting from Little Britain out loud in the street. The part when Matt Lucas goes to someone "now piss off, ya black bastid!!" just as a black guy walked by. needless to say he got a dig in the jaw.

I lived in Latin American for a couple of years and was at a parent teacher meeting, halfway through the meeting they stopped for a coffee break, a guy started waffling to me about his new organic coffee plantation and how everything was 100% organic. Me knowing nothing about coffee nodded and agreed with everything and looking at the cup of coffee I was drinking, I said, "At the next parent teacher meeting you should bring your organic coffee, cos this coffee tastes like sh!t." He looked at me and said, "That is my coffee."

Where I went to school there was a girl who use to walk funny. We called her disco berni as It looked like she was at a disco. She had her arms flapping as she walked. Any way she was a nice girl and we where all fond and protected of her.

So it was the start of a year and all the first years had started. And we were teasing them and stuff. When just one guy comes along and started doing the disco berni walk. So I pushed him and told him that that wasn't cool. He fell over, banged his head. I got attacked by his mates who I fought off to discover the poor dude was a cripple too.

So yes I pushed and knocked over a cripple.

Ahhhhh this reminds me of a certain situation...! I was walking home from secondary school with a friend, and she pointed to a guy in the distance and said "Oooh check out the hot tall guy!"

On closer inspection, he was one of the students from the school for down syndrome kids nextdoor :S

Can't say I have OP. Though a friend of mine did say to me about my then boyfriend 'I don't mean to be bad or anything.. but does ---- have.. I dunno, its his face, is he a bit.. yano... retarded?' I just stared at her blankly and said 'not that I know of'.


Turns out she knew more than I did.

2005, in Amsterdam (Very stoned) a friend and I were walking down the street. I was very high to say the least and in great spirits, seen a guy coming towards me and he looked as bad as me, he was wobbling as he walked and I burst out laughing and pointed him out to my friend. My friend looked at me horrified and told me to shut up. When I looked back at the guy I realised he had a walking impairment of some description, the effort it was taking him to get around must have been huge and here was this ejit laughing at him, I never felt as bad in all my life. Still fell bad as I type this...
