    Red face Put your foot in it lately?

    I've just insulted the curtains in a friend's new house, blithely confident they were left behind by the previous (elderly) occupants.

    But no, they were new

    Anyone else made a tactless noob of themselves recently?

    Re: Put your foot in it lately?

    I do it all the time, last Saturday a group of us went out for birthday party (clubs ect) and we were waiting on a taxi with a group of friends coming, when they got here a lass wearing almost nothing got out and me and a friend said that she looked like a bit of a slag, just after that one of my friends wife turned to us and told us that it was her sister :|
    Someone left a note on a piece of cake in the fridge that said, "Do not eat!". I ate the cake and left a note saying, "Yuck, who the hell eats paper ?

    Or in the words of Eclesiasticus: A wise word is wasted in the mouth of a fool, for he will not utter in in its proper time.

    I'm can't remember the last time I did (which isn't to say it was a long time ago, I'm sure it wasn't) but my wife did once tell a woman with no legs "you could have walked there quicker".

    Happens to me all the time. I asked someone if they were ill and had been suffering with the flu. Turns out they just never bothered putting their make up on that day.
