My profoundest faux pas is me not even realizing I've made one!
I suspect I have a history of commiting faux pas which nobody bothered to tell me about. It was far more fun to gloat over me in private, I suppose.
I probably make lots of them without even knowing. It's the subtle stuff that trips me up. One time I was standing in front of a counter at a pharmacy and I couldn't tell if there was a line or not because there were people sitting on benches. They didn't look like they were in any kind of line to me. The woman next to me jumped all over me for cutting in line. I couldn't even tell if there was a line, or people just sitting and waiting for the pharmacy to fill their Rx. It was one of the worst experiences in recent history.
Good news is, after I complained to the manager about the ordeal, she partitioned off a line with those portable metal rails and strips made from the same stuff as seat belts. It was really nice of her to do that, because it really was hard to tell if there was an actual line.
