Wow...how far down your mouth can you get that foot?? (The MAN, that was a dumb comment! thread).

Share with us a dumb, foot in the mouth comment someone made to you or that you made recently. I need some giggles!! Doesn't have to be coupon related - any situation!

I'll start...

I was at Publix the other day, purchasing quarts of Lactaid milk for .19 A/C. I had DS2 with me, and I made the comment to him about "his milk". The cashier looked at the 12 or so Lactaid blinkies I'd handed her and said, "Why don't you just apply for WIC?".

It wasn't funny then. It's funnier now.

I was telling my MIL how my sister's dad (she's 20, and he's been in my life since I was like 3) was *just* diagnosed with esophagal cancer...
I told her that my sister may move back to CT to help him through his treatment... and she says
"Will she come back after he's gone"

Ummm... We're hoping he WON'T DIE!

Ugh.

OMG!! OK I was at checkout and handed my coupons over, I had 5 or so of the same coupon and the cashier looks at me and says "we dont double coupons" she handed me back all but one.......thinking no doubling means two of the same coupon.....not the price....I had to explain it to her.......I am sure she said DOH! a couple times..

I have alot of these moments, lol but the one I can always laugh at is this one:

I ask someone in my family and I have asked the cashier also this, Where are my keys, I can't find them anywhere!!! Yes you guessed, they were in my HAND and I couldn't find them, lol I hate when that happens. I feel like such a dork.

I bought some of the Heritage Dr Pepper. It's made with real sugar instead of HFCS. The teenage bagger looked at the boxes and read "Real Sugar" and started laughing and said outloud, "Real Sugar? As opposed to fake sugar?" She said it like there was no such thing as fake sugar. I tried as hard as I could not to laugh and told her, um yeah most soda is made with HFCS or artifical sweetener. She looked at me like I was crazy, so I just left it at that.

I've done that before too! I've even been looking for my phone before when I had it in my hand.

This one always makes me giggle:
I had just started couponing and my son (who was 2 1/2 at the time) and I were at Walgreens. We had a young guy checking us out and he was a little flustered dealing with the coupons. When it came time to pay I handed over cash and awaited my change. The guy kept looking at the dollars he had in his hand and then at the screen, for what seemed like forever. Finally my son started counting 1....2....3...
It was all I could do not to bust out laughing, when we got outside I told him "thankyou, Mommy wanted to say that too"

To build on this theme, one of my friends and I were talking, she gets to her destination, gets out of the car and takes a few minutes and says to me "I can't find my frea*ing phone." So I say to her "uhh your talking on it!" We always get a good laugh about that one.

Years ago, I had a friend that was going for a job interview & of course she was super nervous. She hadn't worked in a few years & had went to school for a much better job than she had ever had before. When asked why she would make a good employee, she attempted to say that she was punctual...

But instead said she was promiscuous.

Ok, I have one, have to admit it is a little embarrassing...

This one time...I stopped in at the gas station. I was on my way to a Going Away Party for my parents when they were moving to Florida. I went inside to pay, this was early 90s, before the pay@thepump era. Anyway, the guy says "$10 in diesel?" I said, 'Um, no. I had regular." The guy shakes his head, smirks a little and repeats himself. So, I tell him again, that I had regular, because my car doesn't run on diesel. Yeah well, after a few more rounds of this I finally walk outside, look at the pump and of course I put in diesel just like the guy said.

I went back inside, paid and actually asked the guy if he thought my car was going to start. LOL, well I was young and even though I knew in my mind that my car wouldn't run on diesel....well, anyway...the guy just smirks again, chuckles a little and shakes his head. Thankfully, I had an uncle who didn't live to far away and he came and drilled a hole in my gas tank, emptied out the diesel and about an hour later, I put in some regular gas.

I was really late to the party. Pretty much everyone I'd ever known was there, including my uncle who thought the whole thing was just hysterical. Let's just say it was a loooong time before I could run into any friends or family without them making smart comments about the price of diesel.
