Foot In Mouth
Yesterday when in the very busy supermarket I was walking down one of the aisles and overheard this guy talking loudly to his wife/girlfriend, "Hey Sue, have you ever though of trying these" while pointing at a big display of Slimfast Diet products.
I moved away quickly in case I got splashed with blood and brains.
Afterwards it made me think of the times I've managed to get at least 1 foot in my mouth if not both.
Like the time I took a newish girlfriend to the pub and came back from the bar without her glass of house wine and told her they were just having to fit a new barrel. But it's ok as this barrel was just for her alone.
She had a drinking problem. Gave me a withered stare and the world suddenly felt a lot colder.
Have you ever managed to say just the wrong thing and wish the ground would open up and swallow you whole?
