What's the stupidest thing you have said/done this year?
Here's mine.
I was speaking on the telephone yesterday with a potential client whom (I thought) was named Steven or Stephen. In order to clarify, I asked him "Steven, do you spell your name with a 'ph' or with a 'v'?"
After a moment of awkward silence, he answered "Actually, I spell it with a B-R-I-A-N..."

Well, yesterday I had to climb my way across a train car connection of a train that just stopped. Sometimes the trains will stop at the train station here, and being as long as they are these days they stretch all the way to the intersection next to student parking, blocking traffic for well over 20 minutes. In order to get to my test on time I had to get through that train. Going through the train whenever it stops is standard procedure here, but still, trains are one of the last things you should mess with. Right up there with grizzly bears.

I have no idea, the list is far too long and I usually forget them, but it was definately something of irredeemable stupidity. Something that I kicked myself for saying for at least a wekk and lastly something that just had to be said during one of those rare and ill-timed lulls in conversation....

I asked the wrong aunt how long she'd been pregnant for. The problem is, the one I asked is sensitive about her weight...

Yes I committed the almighty sin.
You see my girlfriend whom i love dearly and will one day have to marry. Is always, relentlessly, complaining that she is gaining weight. (which she is not) now the holiday season being what it is (a mass gorging feast where one thinks that death could hardly be as bad as the stomach pains aquired from over eating) anyway back to my story, So we are laying there and she ask me "do you think I have gained weight" after refusing to answer for what seemed like eternity I finally succumbed and told her that although it was hardly noticable she may have gained a little, as i quickly tried to explain that I had also, as does everyone during the holiday season. The week that followed was absolute hell, i could not talk to her without afterwards feeling as though I was the most cruel creature in the world.
A warning to all who have not yet made this mistake. Do not ever, under any circumstance be it life or otherwise, tell your significant other that she has or may have gained weight.

Re: What's the stupidest thing you have said/done this year?
hey i have a question for you, maybe you can relate a good answer:
what if the girl you're with keeps telling you that she's gaining weight.
that has happened to me before.
of course, i want to say: "well then stop talking to me and go work it off ffs!!!"
but that would not go over too well.
so i just kind of don't say anything other than a few subtle polite suggestions on what she should be doing to get rid of it
the problem is that by suggesting them in a calm and passive manner, she's never gonna get the weight off.
i don't want to be "supportive" of her weight gaining, but that's the role i've got pigeonholed into!
Re: What's the stupidest thing you have said/done this year?
I do
ok serious.
I put a glove under a big car, making it seem like a crushed body. Well it worked, then I suggested we took it away before someone gets a heart-attack. I forgot that he just lost his father a week ago because of one.

Friends ask if I want to help them a bit renovating their recently bought house.
Before we start working, they give me a quick "tour" through their house, which clearly still needs a LOT of renovations.
Then they show me their (small) bathroom.
Me: "Oh my God! THIS is an ugly colour..... When will you start painting here?"
Them: "We painted the bathroom yesterday".

Oh, mine would be the first time I went out driving with my mom (I have my learning permit, and I had only just gotten it). I was at a four way street, and was turning right. I went out to far though, and almost hit someone who was turning left from the road I was turning into to to road I was turning from (kind of hard to explain with words...)
I hit the huge gas guzzling SUV with my small Chrysler Serius (or Cirrus... or something). I shattered my left headlight and blinker, and all that happened to the SUV was that it lost the little cap on it's wheel.
Fortunately the lady driving it decided not to press charges, and didn't call the cops.
But then her husband tried to get us to pay 500 bucks for "damages"... but fortuantly my dad told him stop.
