How many of us have actually said that to ourselves after we stick our foot in our mouth.
Ok, so here's the question: What is the most ridiculous thing you've ever said to someone or in front of a large group and didn't realize until after you said it and you still laugh about it every time it crosses your mind.

This is humiliating...
I said "orgasm" in stead of "organism" during biology sophomore year of high school. It was one of the single worst moments of my life...0 -
When I was pregnant with my youngest I was at work and I thought there were no customers around so I turned to the girl next to me and said "I am so tired of my underwear falling off my *kitten*!
Yes you guessed it... There was a customer standing behind me...0 -
8th grade...
I just moved to a new school and the biology teacher asked me:
"So, where did you come from?"
"Um... my mother's womb? Aren't you a science teacher?"
Whoops.0 -
I worked as a flight attendant for many years. One of the ground agents in a city where I landed often used to greet the aircraft often. I'd known him for years and we were friendly enough. He came aboard one day and said "he-he-he-he-here's your passenger list". I replied (in a smart-*kitten* way) "oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-kayy". He stared at my blankly and awkwardly left the aircraft to go call boarding.
Another flight attendant told me later that he had a stuttering problem, and always had.
How I did not notice that over the course of 4 years, I do not know. I still feel like an *kitten* when I think about it0 -
When I was in grade eight, my father moved to Quebec. My older sister and younger brother and myself had a choice to move with him or move to London, ON with our mother. I stayed with my father and moved to Quebec. I met a guy who was french (of course) and he and his friends and one of mine all went out for pizza. I thought I knew enough of french to say "I have a sore throat" but instead I said "I have a sore *kitten*". Cou and cul sound very similar in french.0

I had a boss who overheard me telling another employee what an awful b*tch she was. Surprisingly, I didn't get fired.0

at work i deal closely with employee benefits and gifts that are given for certain "anniversaries" (working there for 10 yrs, 15, etc.). the other day, as someone was telling me what the gifts were for 40, 45 and 50 years, i said "god, who thinks up these gifts?" he then pointed to the next cubicle and mouthed "her". woops...0 -

we were leaving for lunch and my girlfriends wouldn't wait long enough for me go to the bathroom,
so I yelled at them, "Damit, I gotta take a leak!" just as we passed the conference room full of police officers....:blushing:0 -
I put my foot in my mouth on just about a daily basis- the most recent being while leaving a message for a client on opening up a new dog training clinic.
I wanted to say something of the effect of "Hi this is the dog trainer from your local pet store and I wanted to let you know that there are some new dog classes opening up in the next two weeks & we have an awesome deal going on as well. Okay go ahead and give me a call back at "such and such" and we'll set you up for a class!"
INSTEAD it came out something like this "Hi this trainer dog class i mean your dog class I- we have some new classes turtle call gek...." and I hung up the phone.
Oddly enough that client never called back. *fail*0 -
I told a young male colleague, "you look hot." It was a warm day. He looked as though he was feeling the heat. I only realised what I'd said because of the odd look he gave me. I explained what I'd meant, but he said "no, not particularly." So I don't think he believed me.0

turns out you CAN misspell the word "inconvenience" as "incontinence" with the right spell checker. I found this out on an e-mail to all the supervisors on the floor of my last job. I was trying to impress them by apologizing for the chain e-mail...0

I've called a lot of my girl FRIENDS the B word and a lot of racial slurs to their faces... it was during the peak of my alcoholism this past summer while I was SOBER - I also would hit on them on the phone/text when I got drunk... I regret every word said because theyre using it against me (they actually have records of all the texts I sent drunk
). 0 -
Talking with a bunch of colleagues after a seminar I was talking about netball, something about getting hit in the head with a ball. It came out as "... hit in the ball with a head"
Took a couple of days for two of them to let it go.
I constantly switch two words in a sentance without even realising til I get a funny look, then I ask "Did I say ...." They always look confused if they don't know me.. My friends and family know I do it all the time.0 -

English is not my second language so the teacher asked us to tell the class what type of residence we lived in ( house , condo etc)I was introducing myself to my class and I said" my name is mariela & I live in a very cramped condom " needless to say I was the joke of the week lol0

This is sooooooooooo emberassing! My husband is is honerably discharged from the Marines (and if you are military at all you know about the back and forth between the branches) (Oh and one of his best friends is an Army vet (don't ask me how that happened LOL) So anyways I'd hear all the time other branches this, other branches that. Eventually I said exasperated, "You know, at least they served."
So I was in the store one day, a lady behind me with her 2 kids, I with a cart and my one. Her kids start excitedly asking and reaching for the candy (they conveniently place at kid levels in the check out) and she states firmly,"Negative!"
The married to a military man ears prick up and I spin around to say, "That is so cool, My husband was in the military and I'm hoping to raise my daughter (then about 4-5 mo.) with discipline like that. Does your husband serve?"
She states yes and I asked what branch.
"Army." she replies.
My brain froze, I remember it like yesterday.
My mouth opens and out comes, are you ready?
"Well at least he served."
I turned around to face my daughter and realized 30 seconds later what I had said. I was SOOOOO IMBERASSED!!!! It was the longest hour of my life (really probably 3 min.) but I never wanted to get outta somewhere worse!
I said to myself,"DO NOT TURN AROUND, DO NOT SAY YOUR SORRY JUST GET THROUGH THE LINE AND GET OUT OF THE STORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I was so afraid that anything I attempted to do would make it worse.
I felt so bad and it was a GREAT reality check to watch what I say. So I apologize to my military family out there. ONLY TIME IT HAS HAPPENED, but yes I do laugh at myself over it.0 -
I went to a concert with my dad and my best friend recently and my friend and I always joke around that she hangs around my building, looking in my windows and hiding under the bushes outside my window. My dad was staying over and we were joking around that I wouldn't let him in the door and then I put my foot in my mouth and said to him "that's ok, you can sleep under Sally's bush". As soon as it came out of my mouth I realised what I'd said I couldn't believe it!! We just burst out laughing on the train.0

High school - Junior year English class....was trying to describe to the teacher/class a film I'd seen the previous period in Psych class about narcolepsy....except I kept calling it Necrophelia. And I couldn't understand the looks of horror I was getting until about 10 minutes in...and then I stopped...."er...did I say Necrophelia???? Um...yeah, I meant narcolepsy." Oy0

You know normally I'd backup the previous posters but....
dude is being honest about his disease. Alcoholism is one of the single hardest things that exists to overcome and stay away from. It is also quite easy to be an entirely different human being than the one you intend to be, and the one you truly are, in the midst of it's dark cloud over everyone's lives.
At least the dude is being honest about it.0 -

Being drunk wouldn't make me suddenly use racial slurs. It isn't about the alcoholism, but rather that somebody's mind ever goes in that direction to begin with. Also, he said it was when he was sober. He even used capitals. CAPITALS!0 -

^^ yup! Agreed. He was going through withdrawal. Ugly times.0 -
It is a theory and a thought that those who say racial slurs mean less the meaning behind the slurs and more the anger invoking reaction they seek. This matches what the effects of alcohol abuse due to many.0

at the moment i cant think of anything although there are millions... i have a tendency to let what comes to mind slip out the mouth0

Don't judge unless you've been there. Sober doesn't = cured. He was being honest about something he REGRETS.0
