Faux Pas

Ok, let's have it. Describe a time when you have said something, and then got laughed at by friends, colleagues and strangers for being a total plank.

I'll start.

Yesterday after Liverpool won the CCup, I said to my wife, "I wonder if we'll be playing City or United in the charity shield".

To get corrected by my wife was the worst part. She kindly explained that's it's the winners of the FA Cup which play in the charity shield (obviously I knew that - played Football Manager for god knows how many years for christ sake!)

Admin - can you open this up to everyone?

My wife used hair removal cream all over my body. I feel like I've just popped out of the womb.

Was in the pub a few months ago and they were struggling to change the channel on the tv. I said "For goodness sake. You could train a monkey to do a better job!" There was racial implication in my eyes but the black guy sitting at the end of our seat felt otherwise

What happened? Did you get on your hands and knees and pleasure him?

Toor, i just looked to my mate, hoping he'd dig me out me a very awkward situation. Instead, he laughed and looked away!

We''ll personally, the thought shouldn't even have entered your mind, that he might see it that way, as that is not the way you intended it and it would have taken somebody to go out of their way to turn it into some kind of racial taboo, so for me, if somebody had a problem with what you said, then it was his/her problem alone.

I personally wouldn't be embarrassed in that situation. However it is interesting how people are afraid to say certain words around 'black' people, which is actually racial discrimination, as you would have no qualms saying it in front of white people. This is where anti-racism, creates racism.

Damn it, I've went and turned a light-hearted article in this again.

Good luck Jonjo's missing hair - I'm out

What a ridiculous thing to say! Everyone knows it's called the Community Shield.
