oi, christmas fundraiser.So back in high-school every year the marching band would have a gift wrap fundraiser. the students in band would wrap gifts under adult supervision in exchange for donations.
one day business was slow so a group of us where going out to advertise by walking around and letting people know that we existed. so on the way out the door the adult supervisor (a parent of one of my fellow students i was leaving with) says "remember to tell people about the gift wrapping!"
now to me this was the most obvious thing in the world, since it was the entire reason we where leaving in the first place. so overcome by disgust in their stating of the painfully obvious I responded "oh thanks, I was going to go around telling people to go f**k themselves, yours sounds better though" before i had a chance to catch myself. it was the longest sentence to ever accidentally slip out of my mouth and it haunted me for a good hour or two.
