Question of the Week suggestionsEach week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Shit... I'm an asshole...We've all done it... our bodies have carried on without the brain's permission and only realised too late that we're being assholes.
My sister in law's BEST friend was visiting briefly, but had to return to her home country.. Sis in L was in tears.. and friend came down to explain... I mean to say "It must feel great to know that you mean that much to someone" ... But what actually came out was "you must be proud of yourself" ... cue silence, only to be broken by a slap from my then (and soon to be ex) missus.
What have you said and done - but realised too late - that it was completely out of place/order...

Sort of...I once (back in 1991) met our local Conservative MP while I was in the middle of a pool game. Someone made an innocuous comment about shoving the end of the cue up someone's arse and I suggested to our MP that the Prime Minister gets to do the very same thing to the nation every day.
Do I feel guilty? Nope.

Recently...My school has been demanding £4.00 from everyone for CAFOD, in exchange for a non-school uniform day at some point. Sure. I'll make a donation, but I just wanted to be clear about the non school uniform day:
Me: Sir?
Head of Year: Yes?
Me: Erm...so you know the non-school uniform day, we don't get it if we don't reach the 3000 pound target, even though you said we would?
Head of year proceeds to make me look like an idiot and gets me to repeat the question two more times, I'm getting pretty annoyed.
Head of Year: blablablablablablablablablabla....
Me: But...we don't get anything out of it!
I meant to say "But, you're being dishonest!", but fate, prick it is, made me look like a selfish twat. I turn bright red and he looks at me with shock.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I thought charity was about giving to people who are dying and starving..."
I am so, so, so bad at talking to teachers.
