I'm pretty much in the same boat. It's not that I never do stupid things. I just don't get embarassed about it.Last of the Chinchillas said:

For me it was ordering Gazpacho Soup at a restaurant. I knew what it was (if you don't know it's basically ice-cold tomato soup with an ice cube in the middle) and I was curious to try it. One spoonful and I realised I hated it with a passion. Soup should always be hot. Then one of the waiters walked over and asked if anything was wrong with it. I had to think of something fast, so I blurted out 'Its fine, I'm just savouring the flavour of this delicious soup'. After that there was a very awkward silence, you could hear a pin drop. But then I just thought whatever its only the starter, bring on the steak.
Hm... I have a good shame-inducer. A friend of mine's mother killed herself a few years ago. One Friday a couple of weeks ago I and a few other people were absent-mindedly talking about elaborate ways to kill yourself and "demonstrating" them (like putting your fingers to your head and acting like you're shooting yourself), and didn't really take into account or realize she was sitting there. All of a sudden she says "God guys this is a real nice subject."
My reply?...
"What's the matter, you don't like our conversation about suicide? *laughs*"
I didn't realize what was so wrong until a few seconds later when she said, "The anniversary of my mom's suicide is Monday..."

two years ago, when i first start my job at the place where i am now. I didnt told anyone yet i was gay. because usually i want to see how people are and let them know a bit about me a bit before i told them that i'm married with another girl. So i was evasive about my wife, and didnt really told them it was a girl, and i was refering her to them when we were talking as my lover, my sweety, etc.
anyway, i was working there for 2 weeks, something like that. me and my wife were at the grocery store. i had the shopping cart and i was looking at canned fruits, i was alone because my wife was two sections away to grab a milk bag. then i heard "oh, hi catherine ! seems that we probably live not far away" it was one of my coworker, doing his grocery at the same place. i said " hi, nice to see you, and i would love the chat but i really need to go my lover is waiting for me". but before i could get away, my wife turned the corner with the milk, put it in the cart and said : "sweety, our regular brand of milk is out of stock, so i took another one instead".
the look on his face was eloquent...
