Open mouth, insert foot !!
Just writing this post to relieve a little stress over an issue that I've been fighting for a while (and loosing) I believe I was born with the worst case of foot in mouth syndrome ever! I always say things before I think, and then immediately regret saying them. Most of the time its an attempt at humor that comes out all wrong.
For example, today is my bosses anniversary, and his wife posted on face book a wedding picture from 1988. I thought the picture was funny, and posted "omg, lol..on it "and followed it with a comment saying that my boxes wife looks great and that my boss.... " aged well". Well I immediately noticed that my comment was the only one that made fun of the picture, so I went to delete it an my phone wouldn't let me, so I quickly went to my lap top and deleted it that way. Well... The post didn't seem to delete on all my devices, and I'm pretty sure that the damage is already done. It wasn't ment to be mean at all it was just a failed attempt at humor.
Now I don't know what to do or say. I feel horrible., I am mortified that I didn't think my comment through before I posted it. And that **** happens to me ALL THE TIME!!!
Should I be worried about my stupid comment? Should I try and somehow apologize and explain that it was a poor attempt at humor?? Or maybe I'm over thinking it and the comment isn't really all that bad... I don't know, but I wih I wasn't such an idiot sometimes
I here anyone else out there who has a mouth that works faster then their brain!!!

Hopefully they have a sense of humor but I think they knew you didn't mean it as an insult. Your mistake however was friending your boss in the first place. :ohwell:0
