I’ve never looked at my sister in the same way since then either, I’m just really disappointed in her!
And he was in the pub?His wife lost the baby due to a stillbirth.
Sounds like a gender fascist to me, should have told the steward and had her booted outAt Durham pride last year, I’d just been getting clued up about using the correct pronouns to use for people in the trans community and was chuffed with myself at just how open minded and knowledgable I was ...... got talking to someone handing out badges and I honestly couldn’t tell if it was a man or woman. So when the bairn asks where I got the badge, I point out the person and said “they’re giving them out”.
“They’re ???? They?!?! I’m a woman!!! I’m a she!!! Is it not obvious? Who are you to call me a ‘they’. I’m not a genderless .. blah blah”
I thought I was doing the right thing by not ‘gender assigning’ them but I still managed to offend them. Sometimes you just can’t win.

Before kicking it in its unspecific genitalia region.You should have said no luv it’s not obvious at all.
In the pub after work many years ago when I worked at London Electric with a few colleagues and a couple of others who were friends of colleagues but I'd never met them before. I started slagging off some lass we worked with and that I couldn't f***ing stand her. One of these others pipes up that it's her sister.
Was at @foolzy ’s wedding, asked his sisters which one was due first. One was with child, other wasn’t. The husband of the one that wasn’t found it hilarious.
Then there was an incident whilst on my work placement from university where I wished the ground would open up and swallow me, thankfully @TheWanderer took it quite well!

Just remember it being a bit like the we buy any home advert where the guy realises that the meteor is going to hit his house, when it dawned on you that it was your house I described going to.
Pure slog in the guts. Felt like shite. But, in fairness, she did then say she can see why I'd say it.Ah god that's agonising.

Once got asked by a colleague if I'd like to buy some tickets in aid of the polo society.. without thinking about the fact the lad only had one leg.. (I was well aware... ) I replied " aye gis a fivers worth but I never knew you played!!!
As soon as I said it I realised he'd said polio.. was a genuine mistake and to be fair to him he took it well and laughed it off... felt ill for months after every time I went to where he worked.
