Saying things before thinking..!!

I’ve really got to stop this, but I don’t know how I can…. I’m not amazingly intelligent, but I’m not stupid, however I do open my mouth before I’ve engaged my brain and say the most stupidest of things..

I also blurt out hurtful comments, and seem to spend more time afterwards apologising and then I feel bad afterwards…!!

I’m always being told - one day my mouth will land me in deep trouble….. Only last night I spent the evening apologising to a friend after I made a comment that was meant in jest but just came out all wrong and hurtful….. Surprised if she thinks of me in the same way again..!!

You should add 'Thinking before you start new threads' to your list of resolutions as well.

Without surprise, that's been mentioned on here before as well...

Once said to my own mum when she was concerned about how she looked, and asked me if something she was wearing made her look overweight… I just replied, nah, its your body that does that, not your clothes…

Also told my best mate once that he’s two faced, and sits on his best one…!!

Also told a date to not stand me up, to which she was deeply offended, I meant it in a way of joking but it didn’t come across like that….

I could go one, but you get the point….

The guy was a tool, he drilled into the new 1 inch live gas feed, it wasn't as though he didn't know it was there, he had just fitted it.

How could you forget about a gas feed that you'd installed yourself? No wonder you blurted out your comment, I'd had done the same...

Anyhow, yep, mostly it is me trying to be funny, and making jokes. I guess the humour is being missed... I also have a tendency to annoy... Mostly on this forum..

edit - oh and its in groups or even one on one.... Doesn't seem to matter, I just do it... without thinking.

In the past, I've been advised that I should be more "politically correct" in the way I speak! Let's just say that my response wasn't worded in the manner that they advised.

That does sound familier.... I've been told 'quite' a few times that I ought to really watch what I say...

Was told that how I speak to some is 'erm' refreshing at times..!! Sure there was a joke or jibe in that statement somewhere.....

I was invited to a christening once, and I was late, in fact all the group I was with was late, and as we opened the doors to enter the church, the service was just starting and as we made our way to the seats I said, and it was heard – ‘glad I’ve not got a hymn sheet, can’t be bothered with singing this dross.’..!!

The looks on folks faces, to say, I was soundly spoken to after the service…
