Most unbelievable goof ups you've said to someone

[Paul Hanson]

From a conversation I had at my college presentation evening last Thursday:

Me: Hi, Sarah
Sarah: Hi. Oh, I changed my e-mail address, it's now blah@blah.blah.uk (as if I'd let you lot know)
Me: Oh, so that's why you haven't replied to my e-mails since August. And I thought you were just being plain rude.

The fact of the matter is that she probably was ignoring me, and you know how people hate it when you realise things like that.

Could you please edit out my email address. blah.blah.uk is a very exclusive domain. I don't need spam.
Thankyou.

Well, I do this kind of thing all the time. First a bit of background. My friends and I like to make racial jokes. We don't mean anything by them, we just think they're funny, and we don't think anything of it.

So one of my friends and I are sitting at a pizza place a couple of months back, and he blurts out this incredibly racist joke about Hispanics, pretty loudly. Of course, every table around us was full of Hispanics, unfortunately enough

I noticed this, of course, but true to form (I'm sorta the guy that can take anything someone says and say something much, much worse) I responded with an even worse racial joke, naturally about Hispanics.

I got a few odd looks, but I was just laughing my ass off. Needless to say, we finished eating pretty quickly.

Yeah, yeah, I'm such an ass. I'm really not a racist though, but who cares. Deal with it

For a second there, I could have sworn you were being serious.

And incase you're wondering, yes, this is the same Sarah that featured prominently in my MSN username until fairly recently.

Back in high-school, I "secretly" had a crush on a girl. Apparently everyone knew about it, so it wasn't that secret.

Her (playfully): What do you want?

Me (before my brain could stop me): I want you.

That's always annoying.
I've taken to practicing "Marry me" instead of "I want you", then I can follow it up with a grin, and don't end up looking quite so stupid.

When I was in the process of asking my girlfriend out I was absurdly nervous and doing the whole stammering/talking rubbish thing like Hugh Grant in Four Weddings.

Although I have no memory of what I said, apparently I told her that until very recently I had had a big crush on her best friend.
Not smart.

God knows why I said that.

I've tried "Love me!" instead. It works when said with the correct inflection.

Though some situations call for "Love me, dammit!"

"The book I just read convinced me that war is bad."

And that's just the first one I can think of right now. I'm full of them.

What's worse is, every time I say one, I always dig the whole deeper.

[Skanky Burns]

The thing was, I wasn't in the process of asking her out.
I was just talking with her and some friends.

I told a classmate that Creationists are Idiots, I forgot that our Health teacher is a funamentalist christian.

Anyone else ever stepped on this landmine...

"How many months until the birth?"

EDIT: Nevermind...

I recall one occasion in my early teens when our neighbors were visiting, and they mentioned that their young daughter had been walking in the woods when a man leapt out from the bushes and tried to grab her. She ran off.

"At first, she thought it was you" her mother said. When I was a kid, I had a habit of sneaking up on people and shouting "BOO".

I laughed. Then it dawned on me that their daughter being attacked by a pervert was NOT FUNNY.

Hastily smothered s******. "Uh.. Gosh, that's, um, shocking..."
