Since I had never met him before and I've been working with those girls for several months, I asked if he was their grandfather. He was like "no. Father." All I could do was mumble that I was sorry and that my dad used to get that all the time too (he was 40 when I was born, which was old for back then...) I still feel bad about that.

Hmmm I know it's more often than not but I can't think of a time specifically. fussygal on "When was the last time you put your foot into your mouth?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-put-your-foot-into-your-mouth#post-452324 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 18:51:44 +0000 fussygal 452324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ On a daily basis, it seems... Just like @autumnlove I work from hom and often miss out on what's happening in the office and am always treading lightly to make sure I'm not offending anyone!

I was having dinner with her and, in the context of the conversation, I admitted to how nervous I was when she invited us to meet her family when she got engaged to my BIL. Her family are Jewish and we're not - and I just thought that they might be disappointed that she got engaged to a non-Jewish guy and I was desperate to show them that are decent people and, well, not let her down. I love her! Anyway, she was really offended and quite upset that I would think that her family would "judge" us. I really wish I'd kept my mouth shut. I'm such an idiot.

I did the same thing as you @autumnlove! My friends friend congratulated me on getting married the next month, and I said "congrats to you too! have you guys picked a date?" only to have her tell me they broke up! WOOOOOPS! autumnlove on "When was the last time you put your foot into your mouth?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-put-your-foot-into-your-mouth#post-452253 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 17:38:31 +0000 autumnlove 452253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @dc yoga bee: Oh no!

Everyone was oohing and ahhing over a coworker's newborn baby girl that was at the party, and her to die for cute red holiday outfit with ballet flat socks that look like shoes! I said, "this is yet another reason I'll be team green, because if i know ahead of time it's a boy I'll be relegated to buying ugly clothes!" Only one other woman in the office has a child (and the rest of us are all talking about/thinking about ttc). I totally forgot SHE HAS A 1yr old BOY! She immediately whipped out her phone, and was like not uh look look! Then, I had to ooh and ahh over his tee shirts with sports, and cartoon characters on them to save face!

I ruined part of The Hobbit book for my sister last night. I thought she had read it before! autumnlove on "When was the last time you put your foot into your mouth?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-put-your-foot-into-your-mouth#post-452164 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 17:07:38 +0000 autumnlove 452164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I work from home a lot and the guys at work don't really update me on office gossip so I am out of touch! We had our holiday party last night and I asked the HR girl if her fiance was going to show up. She immediately started crying and told me he broke the engagement and moved out 2 weeks ago. I felt so bad and I talked to her for almost 30 minutes about the breakup while she continued to cry. :-( I don't think I'll ask questions like that in the future!
