Quite embarrassed myself, but the worst thing I've ever said was when a girl actually got the nerve to ask me out, I was so taken aback I honestly said,

"I'm sorry, but you're too fat."

God I'm a

.

Two things to to consider:

1. She wasn't fat, overwieght by perhaps 10 pounds, maybe.
2. I had recently been dumped by a whale that weighed as much as myself - which was running through my head at the moment and inexplicably (and unforgivably) I wanted to articulate that I wasn't prepared to engage in a relationship where my GF is scrutinized 24/7. It wasn't the fact she was a large women, I can handle that, it was the fact I had to deal with everyone staring at me like, "wft is he doing?"

Needless to say, I felt like a complete

, she cried, we didn't speak, and I she went to the gym for a full year (and actually got very fit). Too bad I probably crushed her self esteem.

So Interweb, what's the worst thing you've ever said. Go ahead, be judgmental, maybe the worst thing you've ever said will be something you post here.

Well this thread is headed nowhere good....

Another lifetime ago, at while working at a video store, a woman was upset that she had accrued late charges on her rental, and started to mutter/pray about how it shouldn't happen to her because she was a good person that went to church every week to worship God.

I said "well, looks like you picked wrong" and proceeded to print her the receipt.

I doubt that's the worst, but it's the first thing that comes to mind.

Yeah. "Done in one".

I returned to college one fall, and while joking with a bunch of my fraternity brothers, I made a joke about sleeping with one guys mom.

Turns out, she had died that summer.

"I don't want to live with you people anymore''

To a black couple. The ''you people'', which wasn't at all racially motivated, landed me a black eye and a hole in the wall...

They were horrible to their kid. Wouldn't feed her until noon, so she'd come to me to ask for breakfast.

I once insulted someones army, My brain derped when i meant to say "Your army is better then mine" or "My army is nothing compared to yours" Both tried to come out at once ans i said
"Your army is nothing compared to mine"
I apoligized profusely, but he didn't seem upset because we chatted up alot and let me borrow his stuff.

**reds8n**

Please bear in mind the usual forum rules do apply on the OT board folks. So please watch language, keep the content to a Pg 13 level and we're good.

Thanks

Quite gracious of him.

**KalashnikovMarine**

Hmmm....

I made a Airforce Academy cadet cry in public. Little fether had the balls to ask me for a salute so I chewed him out to the point he was losing his bearing "You aren't militarily qualified to run a girl scout troop" was the line that did it.

Called another lad in one of my units a rather unkind term for a homosexual, or a cigarette across the pond, turns out the poor s.o.b had been raped by a man as a child.

I'm proud of the former, I felt terrible about the latter.

**Jihadin**

Not the curret wife but last S.O. I call her by my first wife name...like 4 times over a period of six months

**Cheesecat**

I once said to girl I was very fond of "that she had greasy hair", for some reason I was worried about being too nice to her so I lied about her hair. I thought I was showing dominance by saying a pointlessly mean thing but instead it felt out of character and awkward.

**Rimmy**

at one point while trying to reconcile with my ex, I said to her "no! I think you've got that, homely look to you."

I was aiming for "girl next door beauty" didn't work.

**kronk**

"When's that baby due?"

"What baby?"

"..."

**Alfndrate**

I didn't wrap it...

I'm kidding, Um... I'll have to think about it... but until then, I'll simply keep reading this thread, which is pretty good so far.

**Cheesecat**

I also swear quite a bit but it's almost never directed toward someone it's just the way I talk and I love saying the word witch (not the actual word Dakka filters it out) but I don't think I've ever called someone a witch, I don't get angry often I'm pretty chill.

**Chowderhead**

This will make me sound horrible...

I was talking to my friend (Japanese, she was adopted when she was born), and she told me that she was going to se her Japanese parents. I asked her (as a joke), "Are those the ones who stab swords into themselves, or jump off FOXCONN?" She laughed her ass off.

The Chinese Social Studies teacher did not.

I'll share one that might equal the first one when I get home. I have two stories.

**Easy E**

Once, I was helping a customer and wasn't really looking. I was struggling to get something they wanted up on the counter, whiel simultatneously running the register.

I saidm "This is hard to do one handed." I looked up and the guy was... you guessed it.... one armed.

Another time, I was singing a bit of Beck to myself, and right as I wlked past some girl I looked at her and said out loud, "You're saving all your foodstamps to burn down the trailer park." Then walked on. Only later did I realize why she flicked me off.

**Scott**

Years ago, I said "Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out" as a joke to a person who was voluntarily leaving the company at which I was employed at the time.

What I learned was that phrase can only be used as a joke if you are really good friends and completely understand the situation of the person leaving, otherwise it's an insult.

The person was quite offended - turns out her leaving wasn't as voluntary as I was led to believe.

So basically, I lost a potential reference while simultaneously making myself feel like an utter bastard.

Made me Lol.

These are some pretty good stories everyone. I view it sort of as therapy, a good laugh at what you may have done in the past just clears the path to the future so we don't repeat what moronic things we've already done. I'm pretty young, so I have quite a bit more idiotic things to do too - I just won't be repeating anything posted on this board.

**Jihadin**

I have a buddy...who will never ever forget my flip comment to him nor me for saying it.

Sal "SHIAT I'M SHOT WILK"!!!
Me looking for the shooter without looking at him "Shut up and Drink water and see where this ****** is at""
Sal "DUDE...Seriously....I'm hit"
Looked at him
Me "Damn dude your hit!!"

He got winged in the arm. Made a nice little furrow

Jokingly correcting the spelling and grammar of someone who turned out to be dyslexic is the worst I can think of.

**InquisitorVaron**

Forgetting some psychotic kids mother was dead and coming out with the instant your mum response.

Not my finest moment even though he tried to murder me with a allon key earlier that week.

**Ouze**

I once told my friend that I like Sam's Club (a Walmart-type store) even less then I like "tranny porn".

My friend in question is a pre-op transsexual and very touchy (and I knew both of these things before I said it!), she did not find it funny at all and we didn't speak for about a month. TBH I don't think the friendship ever recovered 100%. I still feel badly about that, I have no idea where that came from, but it was literally the most offensive joke I could have possibly made to her.

**rubiksnoob**

Well, this one time I tried to say something nice to a guy that was having a bit of a bad day, but he was already in a dreadful, terrible mood and I think I only made him angrier. From that day onward I blamed the victim, and never looked back.

"No really.... I DO like Obama as a person."
If only some things could be unsaid....

**Snrub**

Was at a friends 18th a few year back. While she was reading out her birthday cards she had what i thought was an innocent brain fart and garbled out this incomprehensible sentance. So jokingly i said "Learn to read why don't ya?"
Happens that she was Dyslexic in the worst way. The fact that she even dared to read anything out loud in public was a huge deal and i had just gone and humilliated her over it.

Facepalms...
Facepalms everywhere.

I know the mods do not like image macros, but I feel this image, being more educational then humorous, might be OK.
