What faux pas, have you Made not knowing

So, more than once,
A colleague showed me a photo of a ring being welded, then a photo later showing the final work. (Art project, later learned)
One, the welding was bad, so I said so straight. Later the finished project: I said, "It looks like someone just took a bicycle wheel and placed it in a block of cement."

.............. Turns out it was his daughter's university art project

Does your mouth ever just run off and go? Later you're like, 'What the?'

A good rule is to not give critique to something unless specifically asked for that.

Can be hard to stop the blurting out sometimes, and forget what you've said

Umm, yes guilty. Though it happens way less. A homeschool parent asked what l thought of her daughter's Halloween costume and blurted out that she looked like Big Bird on Sesame Street, and that maybe wasn't a good thing to say. I also asked a lady how many months she was along, yeah, oops, not, meaning not pregnant. After that huge mistake, l don't ask random questions for fear of being beat up.

I literally don't know. They haven't gotten back to me. It is certain I have made some. I am not a social guy.

I’ve made quite a few of them lol.

One I’m still embarrassed about was when I was on the train, and a guy was chattering very loudly on the phone, to the point where it was disruptive, and I turned to the woman next to me and said “This guy’s kinda oblivious, huh?”
She replied “That’s my son.”

Id be embarrassed to admit it was my son!

As a 10 year old asking at the dinner table if a girl was on a diet because she didn't put anything on her plate. I got the "How very dare you!!!" treatment from my older cousin who I thought was a friend. Then afterwards it was total disgusted silence like I had commited a murder

When my friend at work gave me constipation relief stuff because she knows I get constipated but I have a bit of a fear of taking anything for constipation so I kinda squirmed and threw it into her bag. She didn't let on but I think my impulsive reaction might have alarmed her a bit. It's out of character for me really because usually I am thankful for any gift people give me even if I don't really like it. But she didn't go out and buy it, she said she just had too many in her cupboard at home (her friend she lives with gets constipated).

A friend of a friend asked me if I had seen a movie before. I did. I explained that I liked it but wondered what it could have been more so, if they had a bigger budget because it seemed to be made at a very restricted cost. They told me it was their other friend's film and had just under a million dollar budget. I was shocked, but immediately pointed out that one of my crew's films was made for about $16,000 only. Butthurt was had that day. Oh, well.

I was well known at the bike shop, and was asked my opinion on the appearance of a new bike with nice light blue paint, and as many gold-anodized components as were available. It was striking, but as a jeweler I'm sensitive to mixing gold and silver in one piece, and found it jarring. I just said it looks like hell - it should be all one colour or the other. The proud new owner was an employee, present.

At a car show, I saw a friend near a mid-50s Nash Rambler station wagon, a mass of smooth but conflicting shapes in bad two-tone paint. I ridiculed it, not knowing that the owner was nearby, a co-worker of his, and the woman who had gone on her honeymoon in it.

At an Alternative Faire, there was a large Tipi I was interested in. Several people were in small discussions, but one was standing alone on the periphery. I asked him about it, and he replied, but seemed reluctant. I asked if he was with the exhibit, and he said no, he was in his own exhibit, advocating the non-use of tents. I think he should at least have had a poncho, or laid down.

Being honest? Most of them, I think.

Been arrested for being naked in public So Many Times before I quit drinking.

My girlfriend's 4 year-old daughter once crawled up into my lap and fell asleep with her head resting on my shoulder, as her mother and I were watching television.

After a time she began to feel a bit warm and I put my hand over her forehead, thinking she was running a temperature. Whispered to her mother that she did feel a bit warm. She just giggled a bit which seemed odd at the moment. Then she said, "That's not her forehead that's warm.

Then she slid her hand palm-up under her somewhat short nightie.

When she pulled her hand out it became obvious why her daughter felt so warm on my lap. I felt so stupid, but then my girlfriend said something like "Welcome to parenting and the three p's". Though I just didn't expect to be "baptized" in such a classic manner.
