What's the biggest blunder, mistake, faux pas you have made. Mine was meeting a friend whom I had known casually just to say hello etc knew he was separated from his family but had lived alone, I met him carrying a newly dried cleaned suit and asked him if was he going somewhere nice, he replied, I'm going to my mother in laws funeral, I was taken aback but then asked what had happened etc.

Asking my husband why ?
20:29 Fri 24th May 2013
My parents divorced many years. About 15 years later, my Mother re-married, not very happily as it turned out, but that is another story !

Anyway, about a year after they got married, she and her new husband paid me a visit. I had some friends from America staying at the time. I then introduced my Mum's new husband as "this is my Mum's latest husband"

Even as I said the words, I sort-knew that they weren't right but couldn't stop myself in time. It took Mum a long time to forgive me !
Asking my husband why ?
so far to date....trying to charge a lovely man £1000 for a £100 pair of shoes at my work, and after 3 goes asking my colleague what was wrong OOPS!
a lady at a bus stop a few years ago had a sticky-outty belly and was stood with one hand on her lower back and one rubbing her belly. - asked her how long she had to go, assuming she was pregnant. She went bright red and verbally abused me for being so rude!
yeah I've done the fat lady pregnant bit

I blushed when I forgot a colleague's wife had died
I had even been to the funeral

I blame the chemotherapy

there was a terrible week end when I couldnt remember what my diagnosis was. I was just preparing to ask a neighb our can you tell me what is wrong with me, when I thought oh cancer
At a meal with our guest speaker before he returned to London, we were discussing the impact of ladies in the workplace, I jokingly made reference to a notorious manager and his secretary, and failed to see why there was a sudden hush around the table. Looking to my immediate left, our chairman had gone puce - be had recently left his wife for a younger colleague.
He only spoke to me again after I had returned from a six year stint in another part of the country.
