IOh, 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...

Rookie mistake seamus, rookie mistake. Reverse that and you're good to go.

Used to work at a place where one of my co-workers was a "larger" lady.

However she lost quite a lot of the weight but then started putting it on again.

One day we were talking about work events that were due to happen in a few weeks time and she said:
"Well, I won't be around then anyway"
Me: "Why not?"
Her: "Because I'm going on maternity leave next week"

My uncle, who had a massive stroke and needs help with everything, including walking, is always riling my brother about soccer. One day my uncle was taking the p**s about Liverpool and my brother replied by singing "You'll Never Walk Alone"!!!!!! Nearly collapsed laughing once I rounded the corner. He felt terrible and still does but it wasnt meant maliciously.

Me and my Missus went back to her mams house with me after we were shopping. Her mam asked her what she had bought so she started taking clothes out of the bags. The she got to the bag with underwear and when she pulled out these bright illuminous green lace knickers her mam said, "oh theyre very bright" to which I responded "thats so I dont miss her arse in the dark" and immediatly thought to myself Oh F#~k Im pretty sure her dad heard me from the sitting room too.

I used to work near a shop that had a great deli counter, and I went there most days to get my lunch. The place was owned by a married couple (just as a by-the-way, she was a staggeringly beautiful woman). They were both very good at the pleasant chattiness, and had the personal touch that made it a nice place to shop.

One day I went in and she was serving at the deli counter. I gave her my order and then noticed that her right cheek was scuffed and bruised, and I asked her what had happened. She said that they were out for a walk and she fell over a stone wall. I laughed and said "oh go on, tell the truth, he's been beating you again".

She didn't say a word, and didn't lift her eyes from the food she was preparing, but I saw the faintest of flinches cross her face.

Was meeting this girl back in my college days, i was never sober i must add.

Visited her house one night & decided i would be staying over, was late after watching a dvd etc.. She looked hot as i was sober at this stage.

We were sharing a bed, shall i say it was getting heated & then when i finally managed to get her top off, i blurted, 'ah, i thought you said you wern't easy' & that fcuked that....game over! :eek:

Not me but my cousin...

My boyfriend is adopted and recently he found his birth father. His birth father now also has 3 other daughters and son... anyways he posted a song to facebook and one of his sisters commented on it "omg I love that song! It's so great!!" and he commented back that it was indeed a good song, she commented back "it really is, we have the same tastes in music that's great!".

At this point my cousin messaged me on facebook saying "Who the hell is that slapper commenting on X's page, the cheek of her!" I was like "eh... that's his sister..."

Not me, but yesterday at the Ireland-Algeria international, Trap told the father of Hussein and Hassan (the recently seperated conjoined twins) that when they grow up, one could play football for Ireland and one for Algeria.

That might be a bit of a challenge as they each only have one leg ...

In school there was a lad in our year whose sister was a few years ahead of us. Her hair was in the style of a 60's housewife, you know like a lego person's, and i came up to him for a laugh one day and went "Hey! I like your sister's hair style!"

Turns out she had cancer and it was a wig.

I still occasionally remember it randomly every so often and get an awful feeling in my stomach! Afaik though she's fine now, but still the worst thing i've ever said to someone. I wasn't even mates with the guy!

I did a similar thing once at school

There was a lad a few years ahead of us (when I was in Year 7/First year) who always wore a sort of bandana/head scarf thing that made him look a lot like a pirate. Walked past him and shouted "ARRRRRRRRRRR".

Yeah, turns out he had leukaemia

Made a joke to a friend ne day about multiple sclerosis.

Just my luck........................He never heard of multiple sclerosis

And what could possibly be funny about MS?

I always wonder why people comment to someone if they are pregnant? I'd be too afraid to in case I was wrong (as others have been here). It's such a common 'faux pas' I'm surprised people still fall into the trap.

I'll have a think about it things I might have said and post later.

Once, while commenting on the choice of beers available for a promotion I said : "And it's great that it's not **** beers like Bud or Coors light..." then realised a girl in the group was drinking Coors light

She got a bit upset but at that point what could I do to take it back? Didn't even try. To make it worse I think she was there because a mutual friend was trying to set us up. That was the end of that.....

I'd say she was actually very upset by that. Imagine having your taste in beverages being called into question.

I can't think of anything worse. She must have very little going on in her life to be upset by that.

Yeah I was thinking that one was rather tame compared to the others. It's as well he didn't ask her when she was due.

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.

Trust me much worse has been said at funerals than asking people how they are.

In a place where I worked, I was known for being very straight laced and a no nonsense type of person. My job as office administrator for 2 business, anyway when I was in one premises my bosses would ring and ask me questions about the other, there was no internet in either of the two offices so I carried reports in a box folder.

One day the boss arrived into the office and asked me for a report, without thinking I pointed to the folder and said "certainly, it's in my black box, if you want to have a look". He went a purplish blueish colour and still not realising what I had said, kept asking him if he was all right. Three weeks later I realised what I had said and thought I would never be able to look him in the face again.

A friend of mine wife who had previously recovered from breast cancer, told me they found another lump, then he said his wife thinks she will be alright and he said I know she wont be.

And I said half in shock from the news and not thinking " yeah I think you might be right"

I realised what I said and I left his office went into mine and just put my head in my hands with that dreadful sick feeling of totally ****ing up.

Was chatting to a guy who'd crashed his bike, his girlfriend on the back was killed. He asked me would I ever consider learning to ride a bike, and I said no, sure knowing me I'd probably kill someone:(. Wished the ground would open up:o

I once worked with a girl who was overweight, but she joked about it and seemed generally OK with it. I was carrying too many pounds too. So I showed her a newspaper report about how overweight people were happier. Bad move. She was not happy. :eek:

At my brothers funeral, my mother was sitting beside me and her memory is not as sharp as it used to be, but a friend who we had not seen in about 10 years offered his condolences, I told my mother who he was, he seemed surprised that I knew him and I said "you havent changed a bit" next thing he said out really loud "and tis cuter your gettin":eek:. We all knew it was nervousness (poor fellow, he almost died himself), but we all saw the funny side and a few people giggled.

I've done that on more than one occasion myself. Worst was about 10 years back when a friend got killed in a car crash and her father died, pretty much of a broken heart, less than a week later. At the fathers funeral I greeted one of the sisters by saying, 'How are things, are you well?'

I didn't mean anything by it obviously but she didn't take it too well.

Possibly still a better midfeild pairing than Whelan and Andrews.

Anyway when I was in college lecturer walks into the class and asked did any of you have "Name X" last year to which I responded "Yeah he was so dull I fell asleap is most of his classes" unfortunatly as the lecturer was about to tell us before I interruped he had just died.
