Yahoo Lifestyle 19 People Who Accidentally Said The WRONG Thing At The WRONG Freaking Time
We asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us about the most embarrassing thing they've ever accidentally said or done. Here are the hilarious and cringeworthy results.
1."My family was at a funeral, and something smelled really bad in the back of the chapel where we were sitting. My mom leaned over and whispered, 'It smells like something died in here!' Everyone around us gave her an unamused look. It took my mom a few minutes to figure out what she said."
2."My friend who’s blind was trying to find someone in a crowd, and I was guiding her. I didn’t know the person she was trying to find, so I asked my friend, 'What does she look like?' I realized my mistake, and she laughed at me."
3."I was stocking shelves at the grocery store where I worked. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a customer who was trying to grab an item and ended up putting his basket on the floor to do so. I asked, 'Do you need a hand?' He turned, revealing that he was missing his whole left arm. He smiled and said, 'Well, yeah, but I've got it.' I was mortified by my choice of words, but he had a good laugh about it."
4."I saw my mom's legs in the stall next to me, so I reached under and grabbed her leg and yelled to 'scare' her. Then I heard a stranger's voice say, 'OH!' I ran out of there so fast."
5."I was taking headshots for my company’s wholesale catalog. I was prepping to take a picture with the flash on. I intended to tell the person that I was going to use my flash, but what came out of my mouth was, 'I’m going to flash you now.' I was mortified."
6."My brain once meshed 'pardon' and 'morning' together, so when I opened the door to leave the restroom at work, I said to the surprised man on the other side, 'Puddin'.'"
7."When I was 11, I didn't know what the term 'birthday suit' meant. I knew my teacher's birthday was the next day, so when I walked into school, I greeted him by saying, 'I can't wait to see your birthday suit tomorrow!' My mother got a call from the school that night. I think about this often and still cringe to this day."
8."Once, when we were shopping, I put condoms and some lube in a cart that I THOUGHT was my boyfriend's, and I said, 'We are getting suuuuuper kinky tonight.' I looked up and saw a very old couple staring back at me in shock. I was at the wrong cart."
9."On the first day of my first-ever retail job, I was helping a lady and her son pick out an outfit for a Christmas gift. Our scanner was down, and I had to read the blurry barcode on the tiny tag. Flustered, I sighed and said, 'Oh my god. I am just so blind these days!' The son, who had been silent thus far, turned his head to me and said, 'I’m just blind every day.' That's when I noticed his folding cane. I was mortified."
10."At the time I was a first-year nurse. I was talking to a patient who had a bunch of flowers in his room, and I said, 'I wish I could have some at home, but everything I touch dies.' He just looked at me, horrified, until I realized what I said. I quickly yelled, 'PLANTS! NOT PEOPLE!' He laughed, but I still cringe every time I think of it."
11."I work at Starbucks and was taking a little person’s order. He just wanted a shot of espresso, and out of habit I asked if he wanted it in a short cup. With a straight face, he said, 'Is that a short joke?' I was horrified and started to apologize, and he just started laughing. He said he does it often to see people’s reactions."
12."I tripped while going up the stairs at my university. Several people came over to make sure I was okay. I was fine, but my shins and ego were bruised, so I tried to make light of the situation by saying 'walking is hard' and 'stairs are tricky.' My brain mixed them up at the same time, and I just ended up squawking, 'Stairs! Hard!' in a woman's face before I ran off. Sigh."
13."My friend was absolutely trouncing us in a custom game of Halo 3. He wanted to say 'I'm wiping the floor with you guys' and 'I'm kicking your asses. Instead, he came out with, 'I'M WIPING YOUR ASSES!'"
14."My best friend is a server. While setting down a dish in front of a customer, she instinctively said, 'Watch your hands! That plate is really hot!' Then she noticed that the customer had prosthetic arms. So much secondhand embarrassment."
15."My mom and I were at a McDonald's drive-thru. The cashier asked if we'd like anything else, and my mom's brain put 'that will be it' and 'that'll do' together, so she ended up responding, with gusto, 'THAT'LL BE DO!'"

16."I was at a funeral where the grandparents had died within a day of each other. I was giving my condolences and saw two people sitting down, looking very sad. I went up to them and actually said, 'Why so down?' What the heck is wrong with me? LOL."
17."We were at a funeral for a distant relative. My sister was talking to one of our cousins and asked, 'So how's your mom doing?' Not well, apparently...it was her funeral. We still give my sister a hard time for that one."

18."I attempted to call someone 'booboo' and 'baby' at the same time, but I ended up calling him 'booby.' I haven't been back to that McDonald’s since."
And finally...
19."I tried to order a 'large Coke' and a 'large pop' at the same time, and I ended up saying, 'I'd like a large cock.'"
