I actually went thru all of high school believing this one girl that I passed by so frequently in the halls was a guy. Turns out, as her name was read during graduation and she walked up to get her diploma, that is when I found out she was a girl. I was shocked...but I'm sure glad I never took the opportunity to talk to her because I'm sure I would have done the same thing.Originally Posted by clixpix
One of my college jobs was working the "seconds" bar...so if you finished what you ate, you came to my station for...well...seconds.
As you can imagine, most of my customers were football players, guys, etc. Well this one guy I noticed always came back for seconds when we had fish sandwiches. One day we had fish sandwiches, but this guy asked for seconds on the other entree. So I said to him, "Hey, normally you're my fish man". His reply to me, "Uh, I'm not a guy, I'm a girl"
Even now, years later as I'm typing this, my cheeks are burning! I felt so, so bad for embarassing her like that!
The next time I saw her, she was wearing a pink sweater and a pearl necklace. Somehow this made me feel worse!

When I was in graduate school, I was under a lot of stress. I had been for a massage before, and thought that setting up another massage appointment would help with the stress. One day at school, I looked up massage therapists in the phone book to make an appointment. Well, if you look under "massage" in the phone book (at least in Cleveland), you will find escorts and strippers (not massage therapists). One of the ads had a photo of the "massagers", including a man with really long hair. I made some comment about how men with long hair and how scary they were, only to realize that a male friend of mine with very long hair was standing next to me. I couldn't stop laughing, because it was funny and very embarassing. My friends never let me live it down.
I have to add to this one too because I too look very young for my age. I am 23, but I look so young that it has actually been suggested to me to go under cover in middle schools with the police to do drug busts.
So frequently someone thinks I'm a high school freshman when the truth is I'm a college graduate. I was walking down the liquor isle the other day and one of the store clerks told me to leave or they'd escort me out of that section. I actually had to whip out my ID for them to let me look at the beer I was going to buy.

I was going to ask my boss if he would like to adopt a dog from a local vet clinic. Since I was in a hurry, while I was about to ask the question : Mr. Boss, would you like adopt a dog?, instead I asked him, "Mr. Dog, would you like to adopt... eh, errr...?" Yiiiikes...
Hrmn... mine always finish up with some really embarassing inuendo. Liek the time I was ranting to a group of friends in public about how I was so annoyed at having lost all my written music (four years worth of work) form my father's harddrive. I announced in a fit of frustration at about 20 decibels that "I wish I'd backed it all up on floppy dick!" I did leave soon after that though....
my bf's dad's friend got married over the summer. He's about 35 yrs old give or take. When we saw him at a birthday party a couple weeks ago, we were trying to make small talk because we were seated at the same table basically alone. So my bf innocently and sort of jokingly asked 'so when are you going to have some kids?' And the guy just looked at us and replied 'I can't have kids. The doctor said that when I had severe chicken pox as a child it made my sperm too weak to have children. And besides, my wife has already gone through the "pause"'.. and then he kept going on about sperm and stuff.. and there were two little kids sitting within ear shot not to mention people walking by. It was awful.
And then one time my boss and I were arguing about how you spell pizzelle (like the thing you eat). I was sure it was pizzle because that was the only spelling that didn't come up on spell check. So then we decide to look it up. I started to read it to him and the def was "1. The penis of an animal, especially a bull. 2. A whip made from a bull's penis. " (dictionary.com) I was so embarrassed!!

Oh oh and one time, I was a little past highschool age, and me and some friends were having some late late night coffee (it was like 4am) and the coffee shop was nearly empty. So anyhow I had to use the restroom and I went in and this person that looked like a 12 yr old boy followed me in. I said 'You can't come in here, you're a boy!!!' And SHE said 'No baby I'm 100% female' and proceeded to hit on me!! I felt so stupid but she didn't seem to mind. She even followed me back to my table... But I then introduced her to my bf and she left me alone then.
I do the same things!!! I've goofed and called crackers 'crappers' accidentially... and other words I cant remember but I was teased to no end about eating crappers.Originally Posted by LilleKat
