What things have you said wrong?

[quote="zeldapsychology"]I thought we'd discuss things we've said wrong or basically that others thought were wrong. /quote]

To a favorite professor whose mother had just passed away, and he was on his way to the funeral, I said "have a nice time". whoops.

Some of these things are regrettable, but others are hilarious! I think we do add an interesting angle to conversations... it can get dull when people are all saying the correct thing all the time...

That's funny you mentioned a funeral. My sister went to a viewing of one of her friends dads mother and I said "I would say have a nice time but it's going to be depressing so I wont." She said ya. (I tried to toss in some humour LOL!)

Today I got told off and slightly shouted at for talking about and trying to ask questions about Hitler and the Nazis while we were in a cafe in Germany.

Im still not quite sure why im not mean to talk about it, everybody knows it happened.

And yesterday I got some very odd looks for stating that I had seen a lot of nipples that day.
My mum told me in a lowered voice it meant that there were lots of cold women

From what I know about modern day Germany, the German people are deeply ashamed of what Hitler and the Nazis did. It's a very sensitive issue they'd rather not talk about.

Did you know that there are fewer Neo-Nazis in Germany than there are in the United States?

I remember when mom and I were in England. We were walking in Hyde Park and we were talking about Princess Diana and Prince Charles. Then Mom told me to stop talking about them because she didn't want anyone to be offended. WTF. I wasn't saying any bad things about her except how her husband treated her. I don't see how that be offensive.

Once I was dancing in a girl's basement and my shirt opened (we were were eight years old at the time). No boys anywhere. The other hils were embarrassed. I kept dancing. I did not care. Soon I was ostracized for being wild. My last fling at socializing topless, and soon after that, I preferred to be alone.

When asked what I was doing while sitting by myself by a girl neighbour on the front porch I answered that I was "playing with myself." I did not see this as a faux pas!

I did not laugh at 9/II but I thought at first it was a movie when I saw everyone crowed around a store's TVs that day. Someone yelled at me: "People are dead there!" I was taking courses so I hurried to my classroom. I was the only one there that day. I went to the library to study.

I get depressed often, and I have a habit of laughing at anything that startles me. Once when a friend was very depressed, I laughed at him because he was saying things that sounded so eerily familiar. I had to explain very carefully that no, I hadn't laughed because I found it funny.

I tell people the (brutally) honest truth...

- your shirt is ugly
- wow you're old
- that haircut looks dumb
ect.

I don't mean to be cruel but I don't understand why I should lie... it's not polite to lie is the basic thing we are taught as children...

as a child adults used me as a lie detector when things happened.

also: during 9/11 I got angry when all we did all day was talk about how we felt about the incident. my only thought was 'why should I be thrown off schedule because of this? Thousands of people get killed in a civil war and we don't discuss it' - even asked my teacher this and got called heartless. I didn't mean that it wasn't a tragedy, I just thought it was thrown out of proportion.

I just posted on another forum about me sleeping with another window open and I talked about how one night I thought I heard fighting next door and cursing. Then this night I heard the mother screaming and kids making noise and lot of pounding and thumping and it sounded like she was hitting her kids but I wasn't too sure since there is no proof what is happening in that house. Besides the kids look happy when I see them playing in the yard and the mother is out there watching them.

Then someone told me was there any point in my post or a question and then he said welcome to his ignore list. Then he put me on ignore. I dunno what happened. I thought it was a lame reason to put me on ignore for that one post.

Asking people when they die how do they want to be buried.
