2010 Foot In Mouth Awards

[MaxPower]

I was at work today walking to the coffee station. Long story short, there is a transexual working there. Very nice person, always polite, but clearly still looks like a man. So im walking along, in my own world, and she/he walks past and say hi. I was taken buy suprise and instictively replied "Hows it going mate"..............oooooooo the silence was painful. Hand me the award now.:shock:

Anyone else have a story that can help make me feel less like an ***? lol

 

[blakehose]

Haha that's a cracker... There is nothing like the common "What's going on mate?" "Good thanks".....And the awkward thoughts you have for the following moments

 

[najanaja]

hahaha Gold...you can take the woman out of the man,,,but not the man out of the woman...

 

[shellfisch]

I have said 'oh, when are you due?' to a lady only to be told most haughtily 'I had my baby six months ago!'
I am probably not alone there :lol:

I have said 'is this your Mum?'...and it was his sister......oops

[jamesbecker]

[nazza]

[MaxPower]

hahahaha it makes the expression 'The closed mouth, gathers no feet' all the more true.

I know what your all saying about calling everyone mate, and usually i do too, its either, mate, champ, sport, or the occasionaly big fella..........God im glad i didnt call her/him big fella lol.

[danielpoke]

yeah he was about 70 in the shade haha thats the only reason i smiled and said thanks..i cant wait to get old so i can say anything and people dont care lol

 

[ingie]

When my little sister was 5 she asked my best friend's mum why she was so fat..... No one knew what to say.........

 

[slim6y]

Yeah... I was a tax collector... And collecting from a lovely young lady... She asked if there was a way she could get out of paying so much tax (which of course there is - but not the way you're all thinking - however Freud came along) and I said to her - "This is between you and the bedpost..."

I was meant to say - This is between you and the fence post.....

I think she knew (well, i didn't get fired and she sent me a thing of flowers haha....)

 

[MaxPower]

Little kids and old people. They've got a free pass to say whatever they want!! Its not fair

Karl Stephanovic on the Today show once went to say 'Those kid leach of us' but was thinking 'suck us dry' and came out with live on national TV 'those kids just suck us off....'
I swear, i laughed so hard, it was touch and go as to whether id wet myself or not lol Classic

 

[SEXSLATINA]

Max
You can call me mate any time

 

[MaxPower]

ahahahahaha no worries mate, ill keep that in mind.

 

[slim6y]

I bet Stephanie Rice has her fingers in her mouth....

PS - when I wrote my foot in mouth dialogue - I wrote it wrong (above)...

It was meat to read...

I said to her "Between you, me and the bedpost....."

Instead of saying "Between you, me and the fencepost...."
