What is the most stupid, inadvertant thing you ever said?

Here is the backdrop to this story:

I am in the military, and work in an area that is about 50% civilian contractors, most of who are former or retired military themselves.
There is one guy in particular who I see just about every day, but we never speak other than the obligatory "good" morning. This guy is former military, he is a disabled veteran, his hand was blown off by an IED in Iraq. So ... to continue on, I was walking down the hall feeling usually sprite for that time of morning, when the afore mentioned gentleman rounds the corner. In his haste, a stack of files slips out from under his arm and onto the floor. I observe this event, approach the scene and announce in my most sincere voice "can I give you a hand?" It was then that the entire building shrunk, and I noticed a series of ill mannered looks from other co-workers. I felt instantly very much like Tupac because "all eyes are on me"
Apparently the guy I was helping either did not notice, or did not care about my unintentional, insensitive remark. I helped pick up his stuff and we went back on our paths.

So, anyone ever had a similar experience?
 
Oh boy that is quite awkward! I can't even imagine how I would respond to that...other than turning completely red with embarassment. My friend Adam used to have two friends...I don't remember either of their names but the story goes like this:

The two friends went to a movie theater in Pennsylvania (I guess that's what state they live in) and realized they had no money. So when the guy who was selling tickets left the stand via wheelchair (he was a paraplegic), they decided to run inside. They almost made it into one of the several theaters but the ticket seller came out of the bathroom and caught them. One of the friends screamed "CRIPPLE! RUUUNNN!" and they bolted it out of the movie theater with two rent-a-cops on their tails. They got away though.
 
One time I was walking with my friend Paige when I saw a screw on the ground. I pick it up, then without thinking I ask her "Wanna screw?". We never were too close afterwards.

Just kidding. :rofl:

The stupidest thing, I'd have to say, would be back in boot camp. I don't know if they do the same shit in the army, but I know int he marines, one of the drill instructor's favorite phrases is "Aye aye, sir, or some shit!" And without even thinking, one day I said, "some shit." I just blurted it out...Needless to say, I was on the quarterdeck getting the shit smoked out of me for a couple of hours. :happysad:
 
speaking of bootcamp storys...... i was getting fitted for my alphas... and the kill hat asked if anyone had any questions.. so natually i said "this recruit does sir"... he said "wtf is it heffron"... "sir this reecruit would like to know how one would make a number two headcall sir." drill instructor lost his bearing so i got quarterdecked for like.... 4 hours.

another time the drill instructors were talking shit about everyone while we were in our skivies... and the DI asked what a tattoo on my leg was about... rehtoricly of course... then he said "what did your little girlfriend die or something" which happened to be the case. So i replied "sir yes sir".... then he said... "oh what ya gonna do heffron... cry." so when he was walking away... naturally i said under my breath "fucking prick".... he snapped back and said "who said that"... nobody said shit... so we built a house and finally i owned up and screamed "sir, this recruit called the drill instructor a fucking prick sir.".... he laughed and said "you got some balls on you heffron... i like that shit... then he let me go.
 
At 65th St. and Park Ave., NYC. I was caught in a crosswalk because driver in front of me decided to make a left onto Park Ave. while light changed yellow. Tap tap, tap tap, tap tap, a blind gentleman crossing street from the left is heading right for me. I managed to stop myself from saying, "Look out!", however, "Watch out, ..." wasn't a much better choice of words.
 
One time I was doing work with this pretty girl in my class, and I wanted to talk to her. So then I notice she had gigantic earrings and I just said "Woah... those earrings are really big." After that she gave me a really cold look for what felt like 30 seconds straight. I've never felt like a bigger loser since.
 
one time when i tried to break dance in middle school. I lost and then I said
"beat that top cat." i never forgave myself.:sad:
 
I got plenty of verbal oops' but I thought I'd point out something with your story.

I seriously doubt the guy you were talking to even noticed. It's a very common request from people that want to help. I don't think there's any reason to feel bad. I'm sure he even was happy you wanted to help. As far as he's concerned, you may has said that exact comment to anyone else. So, don't feel awkward. If he's not, then don't worry about it. It only becomes obvious of what you said, if you act funny around him.
 
Once my ex said "Why are you so fucking stupid"

To which i replied

"BECAUSE I MARRIED YOUR FAGGOT FUCKING ASS"

He wasn't very happy about that....lol....
 
Okay, me and this guy Shane are the only black people in my math class. And on a particular day I was listening to my headphones and he offered me a Ritz and I said very loudly, becuase I couldn't hear myself, "Naw, I fucking hate crackers."

Talk about awkward.

Edit: My 300th post on WTF?!.com. Hells mothafucking yeah, son. :)
