We put ourselves in many embarrassing situations. We create awkward situations, or sometimes we unknowingly get stuck with them. Of all the awkward situations we may run into, those we create by saying something wrong at the wrong time are the most embarrassing ones. Sometimes things really go out of our control, and we let a terrible verbal mistake happen. Here are fifteen people who said something wrong at the wrong time, as told by them.

1.This Highly Embarrassing Restaurant Situation

My best friend is a server. When setting down a dish in front of a customer who happened to have prosthetic arms (which was obvious), she exclaimed, “Watch your hands! That plate is really hot!” So much secondhand embarrassment.

2.Bad Choice of Words

I was at a memorial service, and the son of the deceased thanked me for coming. I enthusiastically replied, "anytime!"

3.This Mom Who Dropped 'B'omb

When my mother first moved to the United States, she went into a hair salon and asked for a blow job.

4.See You Later

I work in a pharmacy and was explaining exactly how to use a particular medication to a blind patient. I felt quite good about it until I closed with “See you later!” Criiiiiinge.

5.This Slip of the Tongue

I was at a high school reunion, talking to a classmate who’s now in a wheelchair due to a car accident. I told him he had the best seat in the house. I’m an idiot.

6.Why So Down?

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, looking very sad. I went up to them and actually said, “Why so down?” What the heck is wrong with me?

7.Oh no!!!

I was buying perfume for my birthday. I kept going back and forth between two or three perfumes. One of them was named “Oh Lola,” but I thought the salesclerk was mistaken, so I kept saying “Ooh Lala.” So the whole time I was there I kept referring to the perfume as “Ooh Lala.” I didn’t realize the real name was “Oh Lola” until I got home and opened the box.

8.One More Embarrassing Situation

I was 15 and went to my first funeral. I saw the widow walking toward me, bawling her eyes out. She looked at me with a forced smile, trying to be friendly. I said, “What’s up? How are you doing?” She kept walking.

9.This Funny Incident

I was in class a few weeks ago, and someone sneezed, so I said, “Good morning.” It was two p.m., and I was the only person who said anything. I put my earbuds in and pretended like nothing happened.

10.This M&Ms vs. Chocolate Chip Confusion

I went to McDonald’s for an M&M’s McFlurry. I said, “Hi, I’ll have a chocolate chip McFlurry.” The cashier responded, “Uh, we don’t have chocolate chip.” I was staring at the M&M’s in confusion and said, “OK, I’ll have a chocolate chip McFlurry.” They repeated, “Ma’am, we don’t have chocolate chip. Did you mean M&M?” I never went to that McDonald’s again.

11.Checking out Squishy Balls

During a layover at the Denver airport, I was trying to find a toy for my son. The male associate walked up and asked if I needed assistance. Me: "No thanks, I'm just checking out your squishy balls."

12.One More Awkward Funeral Situation

My sister and I were at a funeral, and we ran into an old friend who asked us how we were doing. My sister automatically said, “Well, we’re not dead!” I’ve never laughed so hard at a funeral before.

13.This Horribly Embarrassing Situation

I was standing in Lowe's, looking at wood, when I reached over and smacked my husband on the arm and jokingly said, "That's some nice wood, huh?" Turned out my husband was standing about 10 feet away, and a STRANGER, who was wearing a similarly colored jacket was standing next to me with his mouth wide open.

14.I'd Like a Large C*ck

I tried to order a "large Coke" and a "large pop" at the same time and ended up saying "I'd like a large cock."

15.This is a Bag… Just a Bag

One time the cashier was having a hard time trying to open one of the plastic bags. She made a groan, and I meant to say, "Ugh, yeah, those bags can be tricky sometimes," but I had a brain fart and all that came out was, "This is bag."
