Things you've quickly regretted saying...

Just wondered if anyone else has something that 'haunts' them, here's mine....
Years ago when me and DH were just living together we went round his parents one night and we got talking about his dads sacred cockateil.... I say sacred, it was a pain in the backside, both his parents moaned about Fred squawking through TV programmes and when there was food to be had, but apart from that his dad doted on the bird.... boyfriends dad goes on to say Fred hadn't been let out to fly around for ages and he'll let him out when l've gone in case he frightens me. I say no it'll be fine, l've held Fred on my finger before and fed him so l've been close and l don't have that flying bird phobia, so dad gets him out and Fred flies around for a bit.
Until... Fred makes a bee line for my face :eek: he flew straight towards me and when he touched my hair l screamed and waved my hands, Fred flew straight across the room, into a wall and fell in the wastepaper basket. :embarasse
He didn't die thank God but l was mortified, it was my fault he got let out in the first place and l did the one thing l said l wouldn't do. l still remember all 3 of theirs disappointed faces.
Boyfriend later became husband, maybe this was why the in-laws were always a bit off with me... :rotfl:

ha ha! I am always saying the wrong thing. One of my OH's friends posted a photo on FB so I thought it was her and commented was it her in her youthful days.She replied back that it was a male friend. On closer inspection there was facial hair, thankfully she found the funny side. I also told my dd's teacher she looked pregnant, I sometimes think out aloud.
The most embarrassing time was at the dinner table with my OH's parents. I was blaming him for me being pregnant and the related illness and his parents said it took two to tango. I replied that I was submissive ha ha lol xx0 -

The usual accidently calling my current boyfriend by my ex boyfriends name, at THE most wrong moment.
I asked the boyfriend if me and my sister looked alike, his answer was 'yeah, but your like, a bit rounder'.
He will NEVER live that one down!0 -

My (elderly) mother and her (elderly) neighbour having a conversation:
**neighbour** "Of course, with my condition you don't live much past 70"
**Mum** "And how old are you now then?"
Worth adding that this was some years ago and neighbour is now well into her 80's. The particular game of "illness tennis" didn't fare well
