Putting your foot in it thread

When I lived in Windsor my flatmate had told me about one of the girls in the building who had just gotten pregnant. I wasn't really listening and automatically assumed it was the girl who lived above me as she had put on some pies.

A while later I see her in the hallway and congratulate her. She asks what for. I say "You're pregnant, aren't you?"

Cue tears and me feeling like a ****. I didn't even think. She lived alone and was single yet another girl in the building had just recently got married and was in fact the pregnant one. It didn't click in my head.

It all worked out good in the end though.

While recovering from a broken leg recently I was wearing one of those plastic supportive boots for a few weeks. I walk into one of the pods at work and one of the guys says "Here comes Douglas Bader" referring to the WW2 fighter pilot who lost his legs. I laugh and completely innocently ask "what was his dog called again?", genuinely forgetting what the dog was called.

"Ni**er" says the workmate. A black guy sitting next to me stands up and walks out :(

I then feel so embarrassed about it that I email a friend to recount the story. She's black too (but was a good friend). She takes it the wrong way and hasn't talked to me since :( :(

It was a genuine mistake.

Foot and mouth well and truely placed together. Twice :(
 
I’m forever putting my foot in it, usually at work – talking about someone/taking the **** out of a manager, only to see they’re behind me etc :D

Whilst xmas shopping with a mate of mine, we managed to get served by an old school mate (some till that was closed but opened just for us), cue a bit of idle chit chat about how we are doing and me making the usual “he’s now gay” stories about my mate. All well and good, only it wasn’t – we get outside and said mate then tells me the old school friend has been ‘out’ for a while.

Oops.

Scort.
 
At the zoo once there was a little lad up ahead ambling around with his mom and I muttered "heh, that guy's walking like a right spaz"...

Turns out mom was a carer (with badge), the kid was on a "day out", and er, my voice carried. :/ I got such a dirty look from her.

I too have done the texty madness error (i.e. bitch about somebody while thinking about a text to somebody else, and then send the text to former). Oops.

They both sound like idiots.
 
I put my foot through some ice earlier, dont know if that counts, my feet were mightly cold though.
 
A few years back when I worked in retail I was watching the photo printing machine while some prints were coming out, nothing unusual in that, we often did it when we were bored.

Anyway the minilab guy was doing his thing, making sure they were cut straight etc...so I look over and see that they are 'landscapes'...in other words the worlds worst shots of a coastal place called Morecambe you've ever seen...badly composed, badly exposed and just utterly dull.
So I start commenting about them and after a few sentences notice he's not saying anything...they were his pictures...

Awwwkkkkwaarrrrddddd :(
 
At a work do a few months ago (on a river boat on the thames) i go up to the bar to get another drink.

A girl i work with comes over and says "So you're now the youngest one at work. How old are you again?"

Without thinking, i reply and say "17", cue the barman saying "wtf?" and me standing there looking stupid. The girl was really apologetic though and got me a drink to say sorry!
 
i once told a friend of mine that i didnt trust a lass he just met (as a friend not going out) loing behold he told her and questiond me about it :(
