Have you ever said anything that just "came out"! Ever not mean to speak but did?:D I have had several over my lifetime.
As a sophmore in high school the math teacher was handing out assignments on a Friday and said,"This must be done by Monday morning" I blurted out "What if it's not?" She was standing right beside me, lifted me out of the chair by the arm( I sat up front next to her desk) in one motion she came across her desk with her other hand, grabbed the paddle, and went to town on me! No words exchanged. Man, I don't know where that came from or how it came out!:D
Anyone else have a good story?

Was standing in line to leave a classroom and go to another one as a 3rd grader. As it was my turn to move I acted like I was a race car and peeled out mighty noisy like. The teacher grabbed my arm and led me to the teachers lounge. She proceeded to give me my 3 licks with the paddle for disrupting the class as she told me..... I thought class was over that's why we were going to another class room, but not according to her......:eek::(

Was talking w/ a couple of people at work and we discovered that if I were to cut my goatee, shave the large majority of my mustache then part all of my hair to one side I would look a lot like Hitler. Clearly wasn't thinking and looked up and there's my manager sitting w/ us and of course, he's Jewish.
I have this one happen a lot but I don't think anyone has ever caught it though:
I'll get asked a question by a coworker and I will reply w/ "yes sa" (yes sir). The person is usually black.

i let a pretty good one fly while helping the mil feed her critters.....she is a rather large woman, but insisted she could climb into the hay loft and put down hay....as i watched her attempt to climb, crawl, wiggle, and slither up the two steps it happened....she turned and looked at me and said "i am doing the best i can"....it was then that i realized she either had the ability to read my mind, or i had just told her to get her fat rump up in there.....

Is that just as bad as asking "who's is it?"

Ditto! I did the same thing. I couldn't help it, she looked just like she was heavy with child. I kinda felt bad, but in a way I really didn't. There are things a person could do, so that they don't look that way. IMHO.

Pretty much everyday!
About a year ago, I was sitting in a control room at work with a few other operators. One of them was a woman, she started talking about logging onto the company network from home, then commenced to tell us that she checks her company email a few times a day while she is a home. I thought "you really need to get a $%^ life", a few seconds passed before I realized that I had blurted that out loud.

I used to help teach a weight loss class back when I had alot of anger built up from personal problems, and I blurt out ALOT of things that I probably shouldn't have, at least I think in their eyes. I came to realize that fat women in weight loss classes usually wear their feelings on their shoulders so you have to watch what you say extremely closely because they take EVERYTHING personal. Those women made me so mad. You would think that somebody wanting to lose weight who goes to a class regularly would want somebody to give them the truth so they'll quit doing the same mistakes. Apparently sometimes the truth hurts a little too much. When somebody who weighs over 300 pounds comes to you for help, then you figure out that they're eating ice cream for breakfast (no, I'm not making this up), four Mountain Dew's during their work shift, potato chips and other garbage from the minute they get home until they go to bed... and they don't listen to your suggestions yet still want more help... how in the world can you not blurt out something hurtful? I just gave up on them. They don't want to get healthier, they just want a shoulder to cry on.

This wasn't really negative towards an individual or anything, but...
One time my whole department had to go to a corporate retreat at Lake Barkley State Park. The chairman of our board, who was the former CEO, had started this department so it was like his baby or something, so he showed up. This guy is VERY proper, and one of the most influential people in western Kentucky. Usually we work a day, go back to a hotel room and drink, then eat, then drink some more, then work the next day. We're sitting in his suite and I get a little tipsy on rum so I'm pretty talkative at that point. We go to eat, and he notices something on the buffett, probably corn or something, and he makes the comment that it's "the number one cash crop in Appalachia". Not even thinking, I said "I thought WEED was the number one cash crop in Appalachia". :D I didn't think anything about it at the time, but it thoroughly embarassed him, I mean really bad. All the managers were laughing about it all night, he kept bringing it up, he was all flustered about it.

Corndog,
He was probably flustered because you were right and he was wrong.

diarea of the mouth, constipation of the brain. :D
Yeah, it is pretty bad in my family also. I think it is in the Simon genes, because all of my brothers and my dad has it. Of course, I always think out everything very carefully before I articulate anything outloud.....:rolleyes:
They don't call me "Last word Philpot" for nothin!:D

Ive said so many things that I should have been fired for. Some guy was wanting to return a gun that he screwed up and we wouldn't do it, he was yelling and cussing and going on calling me and idiot and said "so I'm pretty much screwed!?" I just looked and without thinking said "yeah I guess you are" My managers laughed after he went and told them.
I have done the "Yes sa" thing too.
My girlfriend was sitting at her apartment and a maintainance guy was fixing something and asked what she was eating. It was cantaloup and he didn't know what it was. She asked if he wanted some and he said "no what else you got"...just joking with her. She told him there was watermelon in the fridge if he wanted it...she was just thinking what fruit she had. He was black...he just looked shocked she said it and then she realized what she said...they both just laughed and he said it was funny.

I wouldn't have thought anything about offering a black guy a watermelon, if I truly had one.
But, when I was a kid, I was on a baseball team with several black boys. While sitting in the dugout, I found myself staring at this guy's hair, and when he turned around and saw me I said "How do you black boys get your hair so curly?" :D We had a nice conversation about Jheri curl's and other black guy products.

just to be even more of a jerk I would have said I sure hope your daughter does something like this tonight. It would have got the laugh but you might not have been able to sit down for awhile.:D

Given the number of warnings, removed replies and locked posts I've received here I guess I sometimes say what's on my mind in a litte more direct manner than some of the mods think appropriate.
Or maybe they just don't share my sense of humor.

I've actually heard they find it easier to lock it down than wade through the bog of misspellings and grammatical errors. Did I just blurt that out? :D

But, I just gotta tell this one on my buddies wife. About 20 years ago my buddy took his wife to a Reds game.Now his wife has never been known for having the most common sense. Anyway, there was a young black couple sitting in front of them with a baby. Vickie starts ohhing, and awwing with the lil' fellow. Then she turns to my buddy and says" Look Ward, are'nt they sooooooooo cute when their that young"
!" Luckily, Ward was the only one that actually caught it!He said he wanted to start digging his hole right through the bottom of Riverfront!:D

While in boot camp, there is nothing personal! Your young, first time away from home, etc. Anyway, the only thing I had that I thought was mine were my letters from home.I had them bundled in a boot band. Anyway, my "Full Metal Jacket" moment was...........I left my footlocker unlocked one day!:eek:
The DI threw my footlocker and scattered all the contents, then piled them up, and comenced to pouring that red mouthwash they give you on ALL my stuff. Anyway, my bundle of letters were under the edge of the bunk and all I could think was, you can do anything you want with the rest, just don't touch those letters! He saw the bundle, grabbed it, and scattered them on the top of the pile! That must have been the point that I blurted out "I WILL KILL YOU!" and made a fist! Well, that did'nt go over too well!:D After cramming my face into the bulletin board and rubbing it up and down reading ALL the rules of the UCMJ, and after doing about 1000 pull ups, I spent the remainder of the day hanging onto the pull up bar! BTW, thats hard to do, especially when there is a DI standing post and making you jump back on the bar everytime you get too weak to hold on.
I REALLY don't remember saying that, just thinking it! But I must have!:D

I do that with my wife all the time. She likes it when I do it, especially when I am sarcastic. Women love sarcasm.:D

I actually called my wife...My ex-wife's name ( Twice ):eek:, well once the full name, and the other just the start of her name...
But believe me, that is almost as bad as sleeping ( never have & never will ) around on her...That kind of silent treatment for about two weeks....And the look she gave me, could have killed me I believe when I did it......
