Do you like saying inappropriate things?

I did when I was a kid, even though I didn't mean to. Everyone thought I was weird and crazy, so I just stopped talking eventually.

I dunno if it has anything to do with autism.

A young man did an audio essay on NPR about his long time habit.

The habit being whenever he attended any kind of live high brow concert: Classical symphonies at Carnegie Hall, local chamber music orchestras playing Bach, or the like,at some point he would always stand up and shout "PLAY FREEBIRD!! !! !".
Sometimes he would get dirty looks, sometimes he would get laughs.

The story ends when he did it at a concert by an avant garde expiramental music group. To his astonishment the folks in the group gathered together to confer, and then went back to thier spots on stage, and....the strains of Ricky Van Zandt's opus came to life!

I say inappropriate things unintentionally but I used to do it on purpose as a kid because I thought it was funny but I grew out of it because I kept getting in trouble & betting beat up & called retorted for it.

I will sometimes enjoy saying something inappropriate because I think it's funny, not appreciating that the recipient(s) may not share my sense of humour.

More commonly, I have made inappropriate remarks without realizing it, until it has been pointed out to me, or I have realized it much later.

I am also not immune from making such remarks in print. There are a number of posts from my first few weeks on WP which I would remove if I could....

I invariably feel terrible about these things afterwards, which may or may not be a redeeming factor.

i say things that i'm told is being rude. and sometimes i say things that i'm told is a strange thing to say. or they just as "whatever".

glad to hear I'm not the only one.

When I was younger I sometimes behaved like a silly clown. I once said to the librarian "you pig!" in my native language. It was "bozoish" joke. Silly and inappropiate. I made it for fun. Not to offend. Not as a revenge. I was about 7 years old. Then I fastly "escaped". I did it alone. Idiosyncratic sense of humour.

Next prank was even worse - I said to a bit younger girl (I was about 7 years old) "you are a lesbian" (in Polish language). I did not know what it means. The father of the girl was not so happy, he listened it. "Derailed" prank. I behaved like a bozo. It was stupid. I did not want to be offensive or nasty. It was bizarre sense of humour. Abnormal. Why I had such silly inclinations?

I was at a classical concert once--about age 18.

They were playing some kind of piece. During it, I blurted out, in essence: "When will you stop tuning your instruments, and start actually playing music?"

I once told my brother's fiancée that I thought her engagement ring looked like two pop can pull tab rings glued together. I was 13 when I uttered this faux pas. luckily she was graceful about it.

Nope. I want to crawl into a dark hole if I inadvertently say something inappropriate. In fact, I find I talk less and less as I have gotten older, probably to avoid saying the wrong thing or interrupting people.

I've never really said anything that's bad that has had comments on what I've said, it's more ground swallow me up sort of things. I'm quite good at intentional slightly inappropriate but very funny things. It's unintentional things, like I just say it.

I sometimes say inappropriate things accidently.
I sometimes say inappropriate things on purpose. Usually this happens when other people are hinting at something, and I get annoyed at the hints and just blurt out what I think they really want to say.
And sometimes I say things that other people think are funny, except that I'm not joking.

Somehow I have this knack for being able to say inappropriate things that others don't say because of the way that people respond. It's not unusual for me to make fun of someone for being this or that and they not only don't mind it but they like it.

Most of all I love it when people try to prank call me. It hasn't happened that much but those are some of my favorite memories. This asian sounding guy prank called me once, it was some number from texas, and before he could get very far I cut him off and said this: "Oh boy you called just in time! You're either about to hear something awful or just the sound of my hand in a jar of mayo. It helps if you keep talking, because I really like the sound of your voice and I'm taping this for later." On another occasion it was some guy who came up with a really lame forgettable joke and I carped back at him with this: "Sorry, I couldn't hear what you said. Now that I'm done fapping could you repeat yourself? Oh wait a second, I guess I wasn't done yet... there we go."

I've always been better at making people laugh than properly expressing myself.

Oh, this times a million. I have no filter when I speak offline, so I tend to say stupid crap most of the time. I curse quite a bit too and quote movie quotes that tend to be offensive (I quoted the Exorcist at one Thanksgiving dinner with a few of my parents friends, you can imagine how that turned out), though I'm getting better at not swearing.
