OT: "Open mouth! Insert foot!"Dear Musicals.Net Posters,
Feel free to share, within reason, your most embarrassing moments (Ie: You said something that you wished that you could have taken back, because it was either just really embarrassing, or unintentionally dirty).
The following are my embarrassing moments:
1. I was in college, and I was nervous about a special 1-line solo that I had to perform later that day, so I went on a shopping spree! While I was in the store, a man appeared next to me in the isle; I decided to ask him about a certain item.
I said, "Are you a stocker?" The guy said, "No!". Then I said something like, "I mean, are you a stocker of shelves?"
I kmust have been REALLY nervous!
2. I was very recently interpreting an historical state park house, and I was leading a tour group through the house. I was describing the kitchen to the guests, and one guy asked me about a certain grinding tool.
I said something like, "I think that's a nut crusher." When I realized how unintentionally cruel that must have sounded, I said something like, "I suppose that it could have been used to crush berries, too."
I felt as though I might as well have been wearing a black dress, black boots, and carrying equestrian supplies!
Thanks in advance for your replies.
