Insulting those with mental illness
… everyone has done it at some stage.
I was dating an American lady a few years back.
In one of those conversations about your direction in life (*yawn*) that you have to go through with most women she asked me "what do you look for in a woman".
Now, I had been seeing an Auzzie girl (who was EXTREMLY screwed up) previously so I replied "mental sanity" and we both laughed it off as a joke.
Nothing came of the date and we went our separate ways but met again at a party a couple of weeks later.
We got talking and she just angrily blurted out the she was taking medication for bi-polar disorder! She got really nasty so I beat a hasty retreat to the boozer across the road.
Unknowingly later on that night I was talking to my mates about what had happened. She overheard me saying that “cigarettes are not the only thing that should come with a health warning!”.
Cue another hasty exit!
