Insensitive things you have said or done

[z-layrex]

On an all night session at a friend's house, another mate had parked there but walked back to his earlier in the night. Walking home at about 6am, in our drunken wisdom we decide to take his wipers off and post them through his parents front door as it was on the way back to our houses.

 

We later learned their little dog had passed away in the night and his parents had gotten up to find her at that time. Imagine, they're sitting there distraught with their dead dog in the livingroom and someone suddenly posts their son's wipers through the letter box...

I thought you was going say the dog chewed on the wipers and choked on some rubber!

How DARE a socialist be successful.

 

For shame.

Big difference between claiming to be a socialist and being successful compared to claiming to be a socialist and spending your money you've got from "exploiting private sector workers" (and definitely not creating wealth by working hard and growing a successful brand as that would be capitalist..) on a needless, luxurious car rather than giving that giving to a homeless charity or the state to redistibute 

 

Or is the old "I'm only a socialist if the state force others to do it or if others decide to redistribute ownership of wealth-creating products and services and the decisions involving them by choice (but not me of course)" argument?

Cloughie was one of the most hypocritical and eye-rolling champagne socialists this side of Oscar Wilde.

When I got my first pair of those trainers with lights on, I purposely ran alongside and overtook an old lady on a mobility scooter. 

 

They do make me rapid though.

Back in secondary school a mates cousin hung himself. The mate came back school the in the following days, I remember it was pissing it down outside one lunch and he was a bit down.

 

So in an attempt to take his mind of his grieving and cheer the lad up I asked if he wanted a quick game of everyone’s favourite word game.......hang man.

 

 

 

I won

I think I should refrain from responding any further than this here, since that would derail the thread.

I worked at. Booker’s cash and carry on the A47 near LFE for a while when I was 18

 

At lunch, if I brought something from the shop, I’d have to undo my overall bottoms to get at my jeans pocket to access my wallet….   It was my regular routine

 

My Uncle was coming back from Aus…. So, like any dutiful nephew would, I purchased a crate of Fosters on the way out having finished up for the day…. I Went to the checkout, did my normal routine to access my wallet by undoing my top layer of trousers….  I reached for my wallet, but couldn’t feel it….   This wasn’t Jean material I was feeling???  This was boxer short and skin !!!

 

Out of compete force of habit I’d undone my top layer of trousers (normally my overall bottoms)…. However, I’d finished for the day and already removed my overalls…. So there I was stood at the checkout, with my trousers pulled down revealing me in my shreddies…

 

The look of amazement on the checkout ladies face…. I mumbled some excuse and legged it…. I had the piss ripped out of me for days…

Shouted handball in a football game when the kid only had half an arm.

This wasn’t me but it’s too funny not to share.

 

I was on a bus to town years ago and there was an old lady sitting behind a couple of young kids and their mum. The kids are chatting away to this pensioner and then completely out of the blue one of them turns round to her and says “You’re old, why aren’t you dead yet?”

 

Howling.

I was working in a hotel bar in Spain during my late teens. Two Scandinavian guys sat at the bar and we were chatting away when a very attractive bikini-clad young lady got out the pool next to the bar - I started up some blokey style banter with the two guys about what I would like to do said young lady, and where.

 

There was a pause and then one of the blokes asked if maybe I would like to be introduced to his daughter first... 

 

 

Still cringe decades later

 I’ve got loads of back firing pranks/pay backs but these might fall into the awkward category.

 

One of the lads who used to hang about with us had a sister,I didn’t know he had a sister and I also didn’t know she worked in the local shop in the village they lived.

in the days when I smoked I went in to get some burners and she served me.She was rather large with a crop top and quite a bad complexion.

Came out to my mates saying .You should see the state of the fat bird,why would you wear that,with your guts hanging out.Joking about turning the milk sour and had a face like a badly trained bee keeper.

 

“ That’s my sister” 

All my other mates just grinning.

 

Bloke where I grew up was the local comedian and he had a bad fire at his house.He just stood outside staring at the damage smoking his pipe .Thought I would cheer him up as he liked a joke.

 

” You wanna put that out before we have another fire on our hands “

At what point did I think this was a good idea.

I have quite a dark sense of humour and I was intoxicated at the time. Excuses out of the way. 

 

In my student days one of my pals was from Poland and she was leaning against a hot oven, I then proceeded to say something related to Polish people being put in ovens during the second world war. Didn't make much sense but was wholly offensive. She didn't understand the reference unlike most of the rest of the room.

Many years ago i remember going into the staff room at work, grabbing a coffee and sitting down. female colleague came in got her drink sat next to me and we started chatting. She had a skirt on that was just above her knees and as we were chatting i noticed she had these marks all over her legs.. i asked her what they were and she said carpet burns..

 

top of my voice i was like “ OOH CARPET BURNS  AY? CARPET BURNS! WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UPTO EH! HEY ALEX, SHE’S GOT CARPET BURNS ON HER LEGS! GO ON THEN, TELL US! CARPET BURNS! CARPET BURNS! WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UPTO THEN?”

 

by this time the whole staff room were staring in our direction.

 

” i’m epileptic”.

 

 

”oh. sorry.”

We were debating morals in a Humanities class when I was in year eight (great times, 02/03 promotion season of joy). It was a discussion on who you would save in a house fire, a child or an elderly relative. It was quite dark on reflection.

 

Anyway I opined loudly that there's no point in saving the relative because "he's in a wheelchair." This came from nowhere. We'd not discussed him being in a wheelchair, it just came out like verbal diahorrea. I still to this day have no idea why I came out with that. I honestly meant to say "because he's old."

 

Cue the extremely angry look on Natalie, the most popular girl in the class, whose sister was in a wheelchair. She (rightfully) castigated me in front of the whole class for such a thing, and I never got the chance to get my defence in that I'd genuinely not meant to say it.

 

Kids are dumb.

I used to travel up to Leeds for work on the train. It's a good 5 hour journey from Swansea. 

 

The beauty of these journeys was I could book a table seat, sit on my laptop and get a shit load of work done. 

 

I was coming home from Leeds one time, and I got on the 4.40pm train. As usual it was rammed.

 

I managed to find the carriage and find my booked seat. There was a lady sat in it so I politely advised I'd booked that seat. 

 

As she got out of the seat I put my bag away and got my laptop out. 

 

It was only as I was sitting down I noticed the women I'd kicked out of my chair was heavily pregnant. I felt like such a cnut. 

 

On the plus side, I got loads of work done.

Had a couple of customers come into the car showroom where I worked. They wanted to buy some accessories for their car, so I said to one of the guys that I'll go and get you a brochure to look through.  The guy responded " That's no good to me, I'm blind. "

In the early 90's I was selling TV's and Video's on the high street. I looked over at the video display and there was a tall woman with long blonde hair in tight jeans with her back to me. I did my job and walked over behind her and politely said "Can I help you madam?"

 

Imagine my surprise when this pot ugly bearded fella turned around and stared at me like he wanted to punch my lights out.

 

I obvs apologized profusely but he wasn't having any of it and stormed out the store. Gutted I lost the sale tbh.

I’ve just remembered something.

 

I used to work on the campus of a Uni and on a daily basis we obviously had customers coming in who had got absolutely bollocksed the night before and were clearly close to deaths door.

 

Anyway, this customer comes in sounding like she was losing her voice and whispered to me what she had come into the bank for, I replied with “Rough night? You sound like you have had a good one” to which she whispered with a completely deadpan expression “No...... I always sound like this”. I couldn’t speak after that.
