That is usually the source of my embarrassment so I'll only share one. <br /><br />I was in high school - about 15 years old (the most awkward time) - and my mom had taken me and a friend up to San Francisco for the day. We were shopping at Ghirardelli Square where there used to be one of those really chic dress shops there of the type that brought you the clothes while you sat on a little sofa. To enter this shop you went through the door into a foyer and then down a staircase into the main shop. About 1/2 way down the stairs I got my heel caught in the cuff of my bell-bottom pants (yes, I'm that old), slid Lucy Ricardo style down the rest of the steps and landed in an Al-Jolson-singing-Mammie sort of position at the feet of a very condescending shop lady. My mother and my friend, laughing, pretended they didn't know me and walked back up the stairs and met me outside. I've been that graceful all my life!RobinfromCAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15991684488709559707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236724941582496.post-86069803303548395102011-06-15T19:52:05.910-07:002011-06-15T19:52:05.910-07:00Ahhhh cute story! hehehe!

We made goodie bags for them for Valentine's Day which a co-worker and I delivered. I made sure to tell the teacher that the bags were bisexual. She of course looked at me like I was nuts and my co-worker was doing the same. So I repeated myself. It wasn't until we were in the car that I realized my mistake. I had meant to say unisex!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10641059685087617173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236724941582496.post-66035345642354234142011-06-14T13:03:51.637-07:002011-06-14T13:03:51.637-07:00Lori, you have already head mine.

I can't wait to hear more folks weighing in on the merits of saying something to the boss when the boss happens to be the one committing the social faux pas.<br /><br />As for my own, well, I put my foot in my mouth so many times it could make the Guiness Book of Records. Here's a recent one.<br /><br />I was at a Happy Hour with some folks from work. There was a person there who used to live in LA and kept dropping names of the who's who in Hollywood he used to know.<br /><br />At one point I thought he left to go to the bathroom so I said rather loudly to the person next to me that he was a name dropper. Then I looked down the other end of the table, and he was looking straight at me. I knew he heard. Today this day, I felt really bad for saying so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236724941582496.post-82729062493668022782011-06-14T08:35:14.456-07:002011-06-14T08:35:14.456-07:00Years ago, some co-workers were discussing bathsui...Years ago, some co-workers were discussing bathsuits for the upcoming Summer season. One somewhat larger, mature lady said "I don't go in swimming any more. Swimsuits look terrible on me." <br /><br />I swear to God what I said just came out. My brain was obviously on an unauthorized lunch break and let me state beforehand I am not sizist, ageist or anything else. It was one of those "Please Lord, let the floor open up and swallow me. Now."<br /><br />What I said was "Oh not to worry. They outlawed whaling years ago." .............<br /><br />You could have heard a mouse fart, the silence proceeding it was that profound. <br /><br />Right.
