I have a terrible case of foot-in-mouth disease.

This morning, I strode into the design room upon arriving at work, and within the space of five minutes managed to commit an Epic Fail of epically epic proportions. There was a dress hanging on the end of my friend's work rail (filled with other dresses) It was a very pretty design in silk chiffon, but in a shade I particularly dislike and can only ( Read more... )

Darling James! How very thoughtful :D (And there can be sandcastle building later, huzzah!)

And also, darling you! *tackleglomps*

That's kinda funny. Sorry, but I am laughing at your 'epic fail'.
Anyway, I am glad that your friend found it funny. I bet that not every one would have said that, out loud.

I would never, never have said it out loud if I'd known it was her dress. The funniest thing is that I fall over myself the rest of the time trying to be incredibly diplomatic and never hurt anyone's feelings. But yeah, sometimes, me and my opinions cannot be stopped! The tidal wave of uncomfortable truth will drown everything in its path!

The whole thing was utterly hilarious :D

I am deeply amused by the whole thing. I'd still be wringing my hands if she'd taken it badly. Luckily, she freely admits that she's not the most tactful person herself, so after laughing at me for a good hour (and posting about it on Facebook, no less), she just said, 'Heh. Karma.' XD

Oh, lord, that'd be me. *amused AND chagrined-for-you*

I have the tendency of blurting out inappropriate things all the time. It was worse when I was a kid, when I could easily go around saying things like 'Why aren't you dead yet?' (to an old person) or 'Your nose is huge.' (to a big nosed individual) or 'God, I adore your teeth' (to someone who's teeth I'd been staring for ages because they were naturally vampiric.)

I still make random observations, but I try hard to swallow them before they get out. I still haven't quite figured out why people get so offended by something that is nothing but a fact, but I suppose it's because they automagically assume I'm making fun of them. Which I'm not. Oh, bother.

So while I don't have a particularly funny story about how I was mortified by opening my gob at the wrong time, I do have this incredibly embarrassing moment in life I will never live down, just to empathize and say 'You know, I could always be worse ( ... )
