43 Times People Said Something So Damn Stupid They Created A Truly Memorable Experience I was watching a TV show (can't remember what) with my family. There was this cute black girl who appeared in a scene and had a nice, short hairstyle I thought was cool. I said out loud "If I was black, I would have my hair like that."

I am a black guy. I meant to say girl.

In fact, people do sometimes say something stupid or shameful, for different reasons, in various circumstances. Sometimes this simply becomes a consequence of a basic misunderstanding between the interlocutors, sometimes the speaker just finds themselves in a real 'stupor' in response to an unexpected request. A classic example is when you are asked to say something funny.

Have you ever encountered anything like this? As soon as someone asks you about it, even if you have been doing standup comedy all your life, have watched all the sitcoms in the world and know all the sites with jokes by heart, you will clearly 'freeze' in a painful attempt to remember something. Don't believe me? Then come on, remember something funny right now!

43 Times People Said Something So Damn Stupid They Created A Truly Memorable Experience Back when I was working my first job at a mcdonalds during highschool, I was made manager and one of my coworkers was a guy named Miles. We called him Kilometers because hurr durr such original joke.

Anyway, one day I was grabbing a drive thru order while also trying to stock stuff and I noticed we were out of napkins, so what I MEANT to say was "Hey Miles, can you go grab us some napkins from the back real quick?"

What I ACTUALLY said was "Hey Napkins, can you go grab us some stuff from the back real quick?"

And everyone stared....

IN SILENCE

After a few seconds, Miles realized I was looking at him when I said it and said "Did...you just call me 'Napkins'?"

My brain went over what I just said as the embarassment said in and I just answered "Yes. Yes as a matter of fact, I did."

His nickname was no longer Kilometers. He was Napkins from that day on.

In addition, there are two reasons why stupid words and phrases from smart people are remembered. Firstly, because they aren't expected to do anything stupid, and against the general 'highbrow' background, these unexpected remarks stand out like Jerry Jones against the background of the current NFL free agent market. And secondly, people are prone to reflection - and the stupidity said will quite possibly torment a person with shame for years and even decades.

“People tend to remember negativity against an overall good background - this is a general trend,” says Irina Matveeva, a psychologist and certified NLP specialist, whom Bored Panda asked for a comment here. “For example, it's enough to compare the ratio of good and bad reviews on the page of any decent restaurant.”

"And this, again, is quite understandable. If we go to a restaurant which is considered to be great, then by default we expect great service - and take it for granted. Otherwise, this causes a clear reaction of rejection. And the adrenaline reaction to negativity encourages people to act much stronger, than positive impressions. So it turns out that stupid phrases from smart people are remembered for a long time. However, the opposite is also true," Irina summarizes.

I once did a guided tour of a palace in Bavaria, where I saw a beautiful painting of Sissi (empress Elisabeth of Austria). And my dumb self asked the tour guide: "Is this a wedding photograph?". I didn't realize what I had said until this very confused guide told me that, actually, it was a painting. Picture. Picture is the word that I was looking for.

im in the UK a lot. The other day i decided that i was going to get rid of my coins because i never use them. I gave them to the first homeless person i met. It was quiet a bit so he was very happy (maybe 10 pound) and he went like "oh wow thank you so much!!" i just smiled and wanted to say "no problem, take care man" and for some reason i said "no problem, i love you man" I RAN.

I was in line for Laff Trak at Hersheypark. They have a large painting of a girl laughing on a mural, her mouth wide open. I commented to my preteen daughter and her friend that Laughing Sally sure had a large vulva. My wife quickly informed me that I meant to say uvula.

Once on a geography test in school I wrote that capital of Romania is Bangladesh... Also on my driving exam the examiner asked me to leave the test area and go to the street and I asked twice which way should I turn before noticing it was a one-way street

One time one of my classmates asked "why is Ukraine so close to Russia if they know they're gonna get bombed?" And I have never had so little faith in humanity.

I had a school project one time and I was giving a presentation on braille and what it is, when my friend asked what I chose for my presentation, I told him braille, and he paused and said “but you’re white…” I was like yeah? He said “you’re not braille-ian”

A very dear friend told me of a good brain fart he had. He was babysitting another friend's dog, and wanted to get the dog a toy, so they could go out into the woods and play. He went into a local store, and looked around, but could not find the pet section. Went up to a male employee, and asked, "Excuse me, where do you keep your balls?" The employee gave him a strange little smirk, and my friend kept digging himself in deeper, "You know, the ones you can play with?" The employee was snickering and turning red at this point, and my friend ended with, "You know, the ones you..." and he pantomimed throwing something. Mercifully, the employee led him to the pet section, and was not quite out of earshot when he lost it, and started screaming with laughter.

We actually have a name for this in my family! We call it a "Blair Moment", named after my older sister because she does this more than anyone else who ever lived (she actually loves that we named it after her). All of these entries fully constitute as examples of Blair Moments. Some genuine Blair Moments from the namesake include: The time she freaked out because there was "blood under her skin" (she googled what a bruise was). When she thought that King Kamehameha the 1st was alive and out greeting the commoners (we drove past his statue while in Hawaii). During the same trip she also was concerned that the queen was going to get mad at us for taking pictures in front of the palace. The queen…of Hawaii…which is a US state and has not had a queen since 1893! See why we all call them "Blair Moments" yet?

My dad told me a dad joke that I didn't get when I was in grammar school. He said that Pennsylvania was named that way cause a guy found a pencil and named it Pennsylvania. Next week in school, teach asked, I replied with the dad joke. Everyone laughed except the teacher. She was mad af. I had literally no idea why. Whoooosh. Lol.

My niece and I were discussing flying home at the same time and meeting at the airport to share a rental car. She was looking at the ticket she was about to purchase and says: New plane again. Me: What? A new plane where? Niece: I always seem to get on new planes, they all have the same low mileage +/- 1500. Me: That's the distance of the flight. She made me promise to take it to my grave.

I remember arguing with my friends about what stage the moon was in, (it was like 4/5 of a moon, my friend said it was a full moon) one of my other friends looked in the opposite direction of the moon and said “what are you talking about that’s a new moon!”

Mum went to have a nap when I was a kid & said don’t wake me up unless the Queen comes over. Not long after there was someone at the door & I said ‘Are you the Queen?’ HE wasn’t. Obviously I didn’t know who the Queen was but my brothers & sisters had a good laugh..

My daughter lost her keys one day and I informed my then boyfriend that I had put a sign on my apartment's staircase for whoever found the keys please return them to apartment #...the look on his face is something I cherish 🤣. Hadn't he told me it WASN'T a good idea l'd have probably left it. Luckily, it was only up for a couple hours and the keys never appeared.

I worked at a coffee shop. Woman ordered 4 cappucinos and one Americano and asked me to label each cup. I suggested we just mark the Americano with an "A" since the other four drinks were identical, she flapped her hands and me and said "no, no, label the others or they'll all get mixed up." So I wrote a "C" on each of the other cups and made her happy.
