Things you said you shouldn't have

Lando Griffin · 27-05-2010 09:56AM #1

When working in this place once I had to photocopy a page from a manual to give to a customer. Using the photocopier was a new girl in the office and not used to her job. She was coping a pages from some sort of draft thing, and came across a blank page. She looked at it puzzled and asked should she include this?
I replied "You better, but I doubt there is any white ink in the copier" and walked off smugly.
Later that day I was called into the Managers office, a fierce man with a reputation and got an all mighty boll**ing and given an official warning as the girl had asked someone where she could get the white ink for the copier.
Actually, the next Xmas party I hooked up with this girl and we are now 7 years together, so I suppose every cloud has a silver lining.
Have you ever put your foot in it or have any good stories about work.

Did you offer to show her where your white ink was?

Is your girlfriend going to be happy that you've publically declared that she's "not the brightest tool in the box"?

Oh, and I accused a girl in work of being slutty. I was trying to make a jokey friends reference, but I was drunk and she wasn't, so it came out all wrong...

If it's true then she won't notice.

Really put my foot in it one time when i thought these two lads were really good friends when in reality they couldn't stand each other. Anyway we were out one night and i was chatting away to one of the lads and he started slagging the other chap off but in a really funny way he was hilarious about it slagging his clothes and his accent. I just thought it was a bit of banter cos i know in my group of friends we constantly slag each other off in that way. Anyway later on that night i got chatting to the other lad and started telling how Lad no 1 does this hilarious impression of him and the like thinking that as they're mates he would find it equally hilarious... Unfortunately this was not the case and as soon as i opened my mouth he got really defensive and started asking what else this guy has been saying behind his back. The guy then marches up to the other chap and starts arguing with him about how he has been slagging him off behind his back and why doesn't he just come up to his face and say it !! I totally nearly caused them to start fighting and i later learned that one of the lads had started seeing the others ex-girlfriend and things weren't rosy at all. Definitely wished i'd kept my mouth shut there

What does a bright tool have over a dull tool?

I guess hes not the sharpest bulb in the box.

Kimono-Girl · 27-05-2010 12:22PM

whenever i open my mouth i say things i shouldn't have

...so much said so little after hours..

i suppose calling x-factor viewers braindead morons has offended the most people in my life...:o

NothingMan · 27-05-2010 12:23PM

Not only using a socially and comically reprehensible phrase but in the worst possible way.

Saying a "Yore ma" comment to a VERY close friend who's Mothers funeral I was at only months before. Luckily he saw it as the fuck up it was and didn't hold it against me.

Nothing wrong with speaking the truth though.

funk-you · 27-05-2010 12:28PM

Told my mate to stop being a bufty and come for a pint. Only remembered a few second later that he'd 'come out' to me earlier that day.

Worst thing I ever said?

"I DO":D

Once ordering lunch in a deli I asked the very attractive Spanish girl serving whether or not she had brown baps. Everyone else in the queue laughed, but she didnt get it.

Banned Account · 27-05-2010 12:41PM

Slightly arse ways here but I was working in a pub in corak years back, two rather tasty looking Spanish girls came in, spent a few minutes looking at the spirit shelves, called me over and said

"Hello, erm, we have two black bushes .."

Needless to say, I laughed quite loudly

alwaysadub · 27-05-2010 12:42PM

i'm forever putting my foot in it with people. I can't remember any of the big fcuk ups i've made for some reason-i think i've buried them deep down!

I used to work as a life guard part time when in college.

Anyway one morning I had to ask a pregnant woman to stop diving into the swimming pool as it wouldn't have been the safest thing to do in her condition.

She wasn't pregnant!

So who did you ask instead? Was this like a daily target you had set for you? How did you get out of this dilly of a pickle?

yoshytoshy · 27-05-2010 12:50PM

If you decide to send out wedding invitations ,send them out on black paper with white ink:D

ocokev · 27-05-2010 12:50PM

It seems women are the cause of severial boll**ings for you?

I slowed down to have a gawk at the front at which time she turned, saw me and yelled
“wha the fu** ar ya lookin at you fu**en boll**”
Classy girl?

There was only one woman! All I can guess is that she had an odd shaped beer belly

Needless to say I didn't hang around.

I have a terrible habit of asking people at funerals who are closly related to the deceased how they are in like a greeting kind of way. As soon as it comes out of my mouth I want to grab it back. I'm sure some day someone will scream 'how the **** do you think I am' back at me. I might then learn not to be such an idiot if they do. I'm always saying really stupid things at funerals though, I try to keep my mouth shut but it's not always possible.

Darksaga87 · 27-05-2010 12:53PM

Im forever making inappropriate jokes around people who not really "friends" But we would have a laugh, and im the one who always says something that just kills the mood for them.

My proper friends on the other hand would know that im joking and laugh about it. But when im not being monitored..... im lucky im not in jail.

Le King · 27-05-2010 12:56PM

Told the missuses father to fu*k off about two years ago after we had an argument over a birthday present.

He's still a wa*ker but I shouldn't of said that.

Still doesn't sit down very well

Darksaga87 · 27-05-2010 01:12PM

"Dad?"
