Today's mini question
what's the stupidest thing you've ever blurted out without thinking?

the most recent one I can remember is when I was communicating with a colleague sat near me via office messenger.

I had said something that he'd misread, causing him to type "you're a lizard?"

I turned to him and loudly said "I'm a lizard?"

but it didn't come out in a questioning tone.

I got some strange looks for that I tell thee!

Not me, a workmate

Sitting on the bus home after work, blurted out

"I'm on the bus"

All the passengers turned and stared, until she felt obliged to clarify

"I took my car to work today."

Then did the walk of shame to the front of the bus to get off!

I was on a call when I read that and my voice went a bit funny as I tried not to laugh.

It was quite an important work call.

I shouldn't read B3ta when I'm on the phone.



I have loads of these, but can never remember. I'll ask about in my brain and see if any of it remembers any.

I once asked
an old English teacher of mine when the baby was due.

I had completely forgotten that she'd come off of maternity leave a fortnight or so ago.

You know when you say something, and as soon as it escapes your lips you know it's wrong?

I had to just apologise and leave. She left shortly after.

(Because she lost a load of coursework and did a runner, not because of my comments, but y'know. Poetic license and all that)

in Higher English
(A level for you lot down south)

I was falling asleep while the teacher read Macbeth (for the fucking 3rd year in a row), and some point in the second act, before he kills Duncan, his wife is talking some shite, related to the time, and the words "which is which" are said, and I said, sleepily, "Midnight". (correctly I might add).

Luckily, only the guy next to me heard it.

I was going through
Hollywood Cemetery here in Richmond with a friend one day and we were chatting as we walked. Jennifer was a very large and curvy black girl with long hair- I think it was a weave, but I'm not sure.

We were going through one area commenting on the tombstones, and she remarked about how many small children were there. I said, "Well you should see the section over on top of that hill over there! Loads of tiny graves. It's really sad to see, but then again at the beginning of the century the infant mortality rate would have curled your hair."

At that moment I remembered that she was black and started giggling.

She caught it and gave me a Dope Slap before she cracked up as well...
