Last week, I attempted to pay a compliment to a secretary in my office whom I hadn't seen for awhile by saying, "Hey ____, I like your hair, when did you cut it short?"She proceeded with a and responded, "My hair fell out because of my cancer treatment. I've been out of the office for several months." Anyone got a faux-pas they want to share?

    In London, with a very old family friend about five years ago. I was seeing her for the first time in probably 8 years or so.

    After sitting down at a local pub with her and another friend of mine.

    Me: "So, Juliette, how are your mom and dad"
    Her: "Aaron, my mom has been dead for three years"
    Friend: "Whoa"

    Nothing to do in that situation except pour beer down throat rapidly, and pray that shoe resurfaces.

    Dudes, I do this shit on the regular. As I said to a friend recently, "My wife is really bothered that this guy doesn't like her... I say fuckit, gonna make an omellette, gotta break some eggs."

    He replied with, "But, Gareth, I think with your personality, you have to have that attitude."

    It's true. Gareth can be quite the dick. Wednesday night?

    A security lady was issuing me a badge. Her name tag read "M. Arreola".

    I was suprisingly able to keep my mouth shut. I wonder if she married in to that name. Thats a tough sell.

    "Bob, I love you, but your last name is Arreola."
