Here are mine:

- Saying "fuck" in a job interview
- Shitting my pants just prior to a meeting, and still going to it because I had to
- Being pissed that a company I worked for was not going to fire a dude we caught looking at porn and trying to compromise our servers. To make my point, I read the titles of the videos to the corporate HR staff on the other end of the phone. I also had 2 female supervisors in my office at the time. We're talking bad, nasty titles. No, I mean really bad.

Those all seem ok except the shitting your pants one.

Two days ago:

The scene: Kansas City Renaissance Festival (Yeah, I know. Huzzah yourself.)
The location: Turkey leg booth. (These are delicious, by the way.)
The players: DzlBenz as "The Jackass" and Unknown Wench as "The Turkey Leg Wench"

Act I, Scene 1
(Jackass approaches Turkey Leg booth)
Jackass: "The sign says you have turkey legs."
Wench: "That's right."
(Jackass leans waaaaaay too far into the booth.)
Jackass: "They look alright to me!"
Wench: "Fuck off."

Those are bad.

The only one I can recall is telling a joke (among several co-workers) about rednecks and trailer parks....

One of my co-workers (unknown to me) lived in a trailer....

I felt bad, she was a nice lady.

Of course I quit shitting my pants a loooooong time ago...

I commit those faux pas all the time. We were having a "pizza party" today sponsered by our local PD as a gesture for helping them out with a large scale move of their IT supplies. I told the current Cheif how worthless I thought his former boss was. He agreed (in a PC sort of way). My coworkers get a kick out of me for saying stuff like that. Sometimes they get uncomfortable though. But I can't help it. Some people use the internet to unleash their real (honest) personalities. I do that in day to day life. No... I won't point-out someone's flaws to embarras them or things like that. But I will call BS when I see it and not hide under the cloak of playing "nice". I'll never go higher-up in the organization. But that's fine with me. Any higher and I would be a target.

That reminds me of some firefighter movie I saw years ago. Kurt Russell is getting a little carried away and rowdy and he does something inappropriate in a social situation.
Someone says to him, "Do you ever wonder why you'll never be Captain!?!?" all mad.
He looks calmly and says, "No".

I'm definitely "that guy". And that's fine with me. I wish more people were that way. Too many people are willing to put up with outright lies to appear "nice" to everyone. A LOT of red tape and BS could be avoided if people didn't waste time with fools and foolishness... (ETA: What would the Democratic party do if someone actually CHALLENGED them on the millions of LIES they are spreading? It hurts my head thinking about how GREAT things would be if that was the case.)

Only gonna tell one--

Banging a secretary on the boss's desk--and he came back to the office. His door had two locks, but he only possessed one key. We had, of course, locked the second lock. You can imagine our horror when we heard him start to unlock the door. We (literally) held our breath, mid stroke, as he fumbled with the door and cussed. Later we realized both our cars were parked side by side in the parking garage--and the office door was mysteriously unlocked the next morning when he came in and glared at us all morning.

Oh, it didn't help that she was about 40 and I was in my early twenties--and she had repeatedly turned him down.

I'm not sure that's actually a faux pas--more like "tacky as hell" in retrospect.

Reminds me of that scam years ago where a company advertisied very hard core videos in some adult magazines. People sent their money in, and shortly thereafter the company sent letters to all the would-be patrons informing them that the videos were no longer available.

They enclosed a refund check of course, with the words "Anal sex and bestiality pornography company" VERY prominently displayed on the check.

Less than 10% of the checks were cashed, for obvious reasons. After the 180 days or whatever elapsed, the checks were of course no good and the company was able to legally keep the money.

Jeez, that's like the oldest one in the book:

Cop's kid: Criminal.

Pastor's daughter: comfortable with her own sexuality, fully liberated from the religious chains her parents would bind her with.(citation: Footloose, for cripes sake).

Gabby, I realize what you're asking, but I don't think he was trying to call you a slut.

MINE:

(a) Crashing through this girl's parents window when I was climbing down the lattice work sneaking her out of the house.

(b) Going to a job interview and realizing about 50% of the way in (at the small talk part) that (i) the woman I had hooked up with a couple nights prior was _not_ single, and was indeed very married; and (ii) that she was married to this tool who was interviewing me. As an aside, I realized this as this asshat told me about the "prestige" of working for his law firm, and the kind of women that prestige could bring -- whereupon he proudly shows me the photo of his wife. Um, uh... why yes sir, she's certainly very attractive, sir....

(c) Went to a wedding reception with a woman I was dating, and asked the mother of the bride if I could get a cup of coffee. She said no. I then said, well what about a Coca Cola? She said no. Oh, about this time, my beet red girlfriend pulls me aside and reminds me that the bride and groom and all their family folks were MORMON.

Lets see:
1. Showed up to a wine and cheese party with 4 of my guy buddies with a 1/4 keg, handle of Jim Beam, bottle of Amaretto, and a big jug of sour mix. (the email our friend sent out just said "party", they didnt say it was a "bring a date, a bottle of wine and some cheese party", the couples there were not happy when we hit on the single girl that showed up, we were expecting a college-style blow-out since all of us had just graduated 4 months ago).
2. Crop-dusting my boss on my first week on the job (smelly fart in his office and walking away ASAP, just when I realized there were only 5 other people in our section of the building)

There's probably a lot more, but cant think of them.

Way , way back in my early 20's I was at a bar
bragging to my friends about the new 17 year old slut
I was hitting . I went into great detail about
her oral skills and anal desires . When two older guys
near us jumped in on the conversation adding insightful
suggestions for new tricks .

Two weeks later I met her parents and her father
was one of the older guys from the bar

If that wasn't bad enough , I then found out he
was also my mail man .

Well that was the end of that .

Fast forward 20+ years to the day my Ex and I
were called to the high school about my daughter
getting caught cutting a class and found outside
smoking .

The oral/anal queen was the girls dean we were
called to see . Once we were out of the office
my Ex wanted to know how I knew the Dean .
So I told her the story .....

Reminds me of one I saw once - some einstein shit his pants, but instead of just putting his lame ass tighty-whities in the trashcan, mr joker decides to get creative. He stretched the waistband of the underwear around the rim of the trashcan, proudly suspending the turd in the middle for all to see.

Now, who in the hell takes the time to think that one up? I mean, who decides to not only display his turdsmear to the world, but expends the effort to stretch the waistband around the trashcan, to absolutely ensure that everyone has to see it and deal with it?
