I've apologized to my dog for accidently bumping her. Bless her heart, I have yet to hear her tell me it's okay, and she forgives me! :)
I always say sorry if I bump them by accident, and I say bless you. I think they get it on some level
Load More Replies...Once I was in tears and kept saying sorry to a bee after stepping on it (First time being stung)
Load More Replies...I appologize to innanimate objects all the time too, just a habit
I've apologized to street posts when I am being a cellphone zombie and not watching where I'm going
And it doesn't even need to be a manequin. I sometimes say sorry if I accidentally drop an object, or hit it as I'm walking by...

You could go ahead & get the 12-inch; fold it in half; and instead of coming you'd be going...

Sudden flirting don't worry I do it too that's how my crush found out I liked her...
Can I include something stupid someone else said? New clerk at Subway asked if I wanted a 12" or a footlong sandwich. When I asked "what's the difference?" He blushed.

I once asked how many slices were in an 8 slice pizza (apparently there's 8 who knew) instead of is there 8 slices in a medium...
At least you didn't ask what time the 3oclock parade is at Disney.

Exactly the conversation I would fall into in my Catholic church sacristy. With a priest, no less.

I said "Have a nice life" to a teacher when I was leaving the last lecture with him :D
And they started at the clock, feeling the grim reaper practicing his scythe stroke.

Smiling maiden in a hotel: "How are you? Isn't it a great day?" – I just shook my head, because it was such a horrible one that I could not put up a smile. She: "Oh...honestly, mine really sucks, so at least we're two."
I answered "i'm Fine" when they said "Good Morning". I honestly thought they were going to say how are you.
What's wrong with that? I can totally identify with that. "Have a nice day" is like an order,not a wish. Don't tell me what to do. Sometimes, I'm just not in the mood to have a nice f*****g day!
#whydidisaythat
I've done this except it was combining "have a wonderful day" and "no problem". Came out as a very cheerful "have a problem!" ????
This happens to me when I reply one thing but thought of two answers. lol
I've done that with other words and the 2 words become one it's amazing how almost English but not even close
"Take... Luck! Take... care of the luck you have!"

I heard that ALL THE TIME when I waitressed. I finally changed the question to "would you like salad or soup?"
Waitress: Are you ready to order or do you need a sec? Me: I need a lotta secs. I didn't realize that she thought I said sex.
Ha ha! I went into Burger King recently and asked for a McWhopper! Duh!

DOH!!!! Um, Yeah.... Can you come in on Saturday AND Sunday? That'll be great.
But now you'll feel obligated, and without a decent excuse

Working OT on Saturday was mandatory. Asked if it would be ok if I came in a little late. No problem. What time should I expect you? Monday.

Actually, I really felt this way. I didn't fall in love with their father at first sight, but all three of them grew on me.

my teachers never said cool stuff - mostly, "sit down and shut up", for the 100th time today.

Can you imagine how many times a Russian language professor heard that joke?...
If you didn't actually earn that D- that's a legit complaint to the dept head/chair
Damn, you would have had some extra points if I had been your teacher. I mean, seriously, that was a nice pun.

The first time I went to a Catholic Church I just responded "thank you" to peace be with you.
It's different when the priest says it vs. the person next to you. And the reply in the given situation would normally have been "Peace be with you"
Whenever I go to mass (not often) I have to resist the urge to say "may the force be with you"
It's not that big of a deal. They just didn't know what to say. It could have happened to anyone
There is a rote response Catholics say back. I am also Jewish, so I do not know it. Luckily, it the Jewish Faith you just repeat "Shabbot Shalom" (good Sabbath) back.

Even if they were sighted, pedestrians ALWAYS have the right of way, everywhere in parking lots. ;)
fair question if there was nothing indicating it. If there was a guide dog and/or white canes however, then defintely a wdist moment
It happens to me at all times. Once I was admiring my collegue press-on nails, I said "you lost one already"....she had missed the finger...
lol I'm blind in one eye and I get people yelling this at me and I just smile and yell back "yep thanks for noticing~" =D
oh s**t, and I guess they thought rudeness was the least of your problems...
#whydidisaythat
It was an easy mistake. I think she should have continued to talk and let it go. By not saying anything only made matters worse than they need be.
If I was the blind person I would have laughed out loud. It only proves that the person I'm with has totally forgotten that I have a disability and treats me like everyone else.
Load More Replies...Poor kid... I'm sorry... if I was him I'd have said black... (terrible joke I'm sorry)
I knew a blind kid and he understood the concept of colours. I think he said blue was his favourite because he was painting. Of course he could never actually see the colour but he always wanted to use blue and he understood what being blind meant.
I'm blind in one eye, so I like to f**k with people, as an artist I can see a lot more colors than normal people, or at least shades of them, and people will hear me say I'm an artist and ask me wuts your fav color and I always say " The ones I can see~" lol =D

Once I answered: "Because I need money to pay my rent" Apparently it wasn't the good answer if I believe the silence followed by a tense "I see" and the fact that they didn't give me the job.

I learned a lonnng time ago, to make the right noises and lie when it came to babies and toddlers.
A woman with a baby met Winston Churchill, and told him excitedly that her baby looked just like him. He regarded her gravely and said, 'Madam, all babies look just like me.'

Yeah, but it's fine to make it in the UK. We're just so chill over here, y'know.
Load More Replies...It's an accent thing- British people say it clearly whereas Americans say it like "tur-ur-ist" so it does sound similar enough to slip up on, I think
I don't think it's a problem of pronounciation. Sometimes when you're so focused on something you shouldn't say, you end speaking about it, like someone asking a blind person: "Do you see what I mean?" instead of "Do you understand/get what I mean?"
Well, maybe you wanted to see the sights before you blew yourself up?
George W. Bush can't pronounce those two words differently...

I was playing a game with my 3 year old nice and my gf, the point of the game was that you remove the sticks from a container filled with glass balls. the point was to remove as many sticks as you can and have as little balls fall as possible. So I said first you play with a stick and then you play with the balls. To say the least, my gf was on the floor crying and then it hit me...
I'm so glad that they didn't understand what that could have meant (I hope)
Oh no! She didn't. But years later my gf and I still remember that)

I don't understand why this one is even here. Fact is, if you work out, most likely you will improve your blood pressure
My doctor is cute, like really really cute and I always fear the moment he will listen to my heart rate because of that time where he told me "Your heart rate is high" and I said "You're hot" (which was the reason of my heart rate, as always) when I wanted to say that it was hot outside.(to find a proper excuse to my heart rate)

My friend ordered a quesadilla in LA, and it didn't come with cheese. When she asked the waiter, the waiter said, "Our quesadilla don't come with cheese." :o
OK, as mexican I feel I have to explain that. Most people think "QUESAdilla" comes from "QUESO" (cheese), but we have maaaany kinds of quesadillas (beans, grounded beef, chicken, mushrooms, mole, cheese, chorizo, etc., made with flour tortilla, with white/blue/yellow corn tortilla, cactus tortilla, etc.). "Quesadilla" comes from " Quetzaditzin", which means "folded tortilla" in Náhuatl. The cheese quesadillas are the most common in Northern Mexico, while in Central and Southern Mexico varies a lot.
OH didn't know that ! Thanks for explaining

I do not see reason for any coffee but 'big, strong, hot and black'. And especially I do not understand those wanna-be-coffees with hazelnut, vanilla, caramel and so. In fact most things in Starbucks I cannot call coffee...

Must have been the silly smirk on your face because, there's no way she could have understood the difference of the word rough and ruff. Only if it was written could she have known.
Not that horrible. It could have made her laugh and cheer up a bit. Losing a pet is difficult, so laughing is good for you!

I had a kid do that to me recently... I just said it's not a real baby just a food baby. The mother thanked me for being so nice about it
I did it once, never again! From now on I'll wait till I see the baby!
Unless you can see the baby's head (or feet if breach) never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ask that. (I'm saying this humorously, btw)
You know how women at the salon tend to chat a lot, and the stylist tries to make some conversation with you while doing your hair? Well... once the stylist asked me "Are you having a baby?"... I just responded with a serious face "I'm not pregnant". She kept quiet the whole time after that.

Anyone else ever say "Thanks, you too" when a waiter/waitress said "enjoy your lunch" after bringing your food?
I just spoke to a beetroot, which had wrinkled inside the fridge and so I had put it in a bowl filled with water in my kitchen to freshen it up. I said "I am making you fat so that I can eat you." Then I said "Sorry, I hope you didn't hear that". 😅 My husband looked at me in disbelief. Haha 😬

Back when I was a drama student I planned to treat myself to a video camera. while browsing with a friend, a shop assistance was showing me the different ranges and asked what needs I needed in a camera. My replied was I'm wanting something with night vision for making home movies. I s**t you not. Everyone in the shop turned around and It suddenly drawn on me what I had just said. I turned bright red and tried to explained that I was at college and we wanted to make a movie at night in a grave yard. I left without a camera dew to being a too embarrassed 17 year old.
I was never into Lord of the Rings when I was little, never got to it, but one day I found the first book for one euro and bought it, but had to go to collect it to the shop. Went in and the guy who was handing out collections was this huge chunk of meat in a black company t shirt and trousers, looking just like a bouncer, and I in my sixteen years felt intimidated. He looks at the book and goes "LOTR, huh?" and my defensiveness kicked in and said "Yeah, but I just bought it cause it was so cheap." He goes "I read it thirteen times." I had no idea how to react so I asked "And was it good?"

Last week, I was talking to a very attractive guy. Every time I speak to him, I get extremely nervous. In my mind, I think of all the smart things to say to him, but my mouth and my brain do not agree with each other. He recently became a qualified commercial pilot. I asked him "so, now that you're qualified, are you able to fly overseas?" He answered "yes". I said "awesome! You can fly me to Byron Bay then! I'll pay you good money!" I live in Australia. Byron Bay isn't overseas, it's interstate. So that comment made me sound extremely stupid, and the "I'll pay you good money" part made me look desperate! A few weeks ago, I said to the same guy "when I buy my DSLR camera, I will practice on you and the guys (his band)". I left the venue, and then it occurred to me. I was like "did I actually say those words? That sounded really bad!" Luckily, he hasn't said anything yet! I told my friends what I said and they think those were both kind of cute and hilarious.
