I was at work today and it was around 3:30pm. I was in desperate need of some coffee to help me make it through the last 4 hours of my 12 hour shift. So my friend and I went down to the coffee shop to feed out caffeine habit. The woman running the coffee shop, said that she was closing early today so we could have what ever coffee was left for free. Yeah, free coffee! There is good in this world!
So we load ourselves up with as many coffee cups that we could carry. She took two, wimp, and I managed to carry four (my old waitress skills came in handy).
We got back up the unit and passed out coffee to whom ever wanted it, I of course saved one large one for myself and another for my very good friend, Jen (us Jen's stick together).
I handed her her coffee and she said, "Yeah! Is it black? Because, I think I need to doctor it up"
"Doctor it up? What? I thought you took it BIG AND BLACK!" I yelled over every one else.
As the words, come out of my mouth. Every one around me starts to snicker and quickly looks down at the floor. Some people even turn red in the face. I was thinking, what? What did I say.
Then I get it, start to snicker too and out of the corner of my eye, I see a very tall, very large, African American man walking down the hall, scowling at me. Thank God, he just kept on walking. If he would have stopped, I think that I would have crawled under the desk. Open mouth, insert foot.
Please excuse me now, while I gotta try and extract my foot from my mouth. So that it is ready for the next time (and yes there will be a next time, there always is).

Oh, that is SO something I would've done! Glad to know that someone else is missing the "off" button just like me.
Man, I hate it when that happens...
It could've been worse. I'm not sure how, but surely, it could have been.
Maybe you'll never see him again?
Well... at least you didn't make a sexual reference about it ... oh wait, it sounds like you did.
It could have been worse if you said, " I thought you took it big and black from behind."
See... yours is a much nicer comment. :)
Yeah, I'm practically a professional at saying the wrong thing too!
Thanks for the laugh...at your expense... but really, that's some good stuff.
Oops! Perhaps he realized that you were just talkin.' You seem like a nice person who wouldn't mean anyone any harm!
LOL! This is totally something that would happen to me! Now, to add to my own "open mouth, insert foot"-ness, my kiddo comes up with some really embarrassing things, that must be said at top volume of course...
Incidentally, my kiddo has friends who are triplets (they were all in the same preschool class last year and are in the same summer program now) and they have an older brother, so I have witnessed firsthand that you can survive parenting 4 under 4 (and 4 under 5, under 6, etc...) :D It does appear to take a lot of coffee, though (and their mom doesn't work outside the home at all, either so you probably need EXTRA coffee for that!!)
Cheers from another SITSta - thanks for stopping by my blog!
ROFL I love that you didn't mean it the way it sounded. I know pleny of people who would say that MEANING the dirtier thought. lol My hubby included!!
Hilarious. What an embarrassing moment, though, I agree. Thanks for sharing!
Yikes!!!!! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm with ya on the mini tarts!!! As for foot in mouth, this is timely because this happened to me just yesterday AM at work. I didn't think my boss was in yet when I said something about him and then said "wow, it's not even 8:15 and I already made a Bob joke." We're not 100% he heard, only 85%. So embarrassing!!!!
