ThatNiceMan asks: Have you ever been talking with people down the pub when somebody throws such a complete curveball (Sample WTF moment: "I wonder what it's like to get bummed") that all talk is stopped dead? Tell us!

A few years ago my band were playing a gig at The Star Inn
It had all been organised online and I had yet to meet the organiser, a guy called Greg. We got all our gear in, ordered some drinks and sat round the table chatting away. After a while a guy walks in and smiles over in our direction.
"Alright Mate!" I shout, "Are you Greg?"
Everyone at the table goes deathly quiet and looks first at me then at the guy.
"No" comes the reply, "I'm Kate"

Or "Is that short for Bob?" in your finest Rowan Atkinson impersonation.

I once called a tranny "sir".
Many years ago (back when I still had a full head of hair) I worked in a bookshop. One day a fairly stout gentleman sporting some rather inexpertly-applied make-up walked up to the counter and asked, in a rather gruff voice, to speak to the manager.
Without pausing to think about what I was saying, I replied, "Of course, sir, I'll just call him for you."
"Madam, actually," he replied, as he turned sideways and flattened his t-shirt against his belly to emphasise the silhouette of his rather impressive - and recently installed - set of hooters.
