Blunders

[Caribeing]

What's the biggest blunder, mistake, faux pas you have made. Mine was meeting a friend whom I had known casually just to say hello etc knew he was separated from his family but had lived alone, I met him carrying a newly dried cleaned suit and asked him if was he going somewhere nice, he replied, I'm going to my mother in laws funeral, I was taken aback but then asked what had happened etc.

My parents divorced many years. About 15 years later, my Mother re-married, not very happily as it turned out, but that is another story !

Anyway, about a year after they got married, she and her new husband paid me a visit. I had some friends from America staying at the time. I then introduced my Mum's new husband as "this is my Mum's latest husband"

Even as I said the words, I sort-knew that they weren't right but couldn't stop myself in time. It took Mum a long time to forgive me !

a lady at a bus stop a few years ago had a sticky-outty belly and was stood with one hand on her lower back and one rubbing her belly. - asked her how long she had to go, assuming she was pregnant. She went bright red and verbally abused me for being so rude!

I blushed when I forgot a colleague's wife had died
I had even been to the funeral

I blame the chemotherapy

At a meal with our guest speaker before he returned to London, we were discussing the impact of ladies in the workplace, I jokingly made reference to a notorious manager and his secretary, and failed to see why there was a sudden hush around the table. Looking to my immediate left, our chairman had gone puce - be had recently left his wife for a younger colleague.
He only spoke to me again after I had returned from a six year stint in another part of the country.
