I was at college and we were talking about grease lightening and I was talking about it and instead of John Travolta i said "Oh I like the scene where ELTON JOHN is at the drive-in" and everyone laughed at me! And they started imagining scenes with elton john instead of john travolta!!
It was so embarassing so I got up and walked out of the classroom we were in and they were just TAUNTING ME and as I walked out of the class room they started singing goodbye yellow brick road at me!
Why does everything like this always happen to me!!:banghead:
:impissed:

It's easy to think that it's always you who ends up being laughed at. Agree with Vicky though, if they do, it's probably because you react to it.
That is very funny
Everyone pissed themselves, including me! Yes it was shameful but fucking hilarious too!
Get over it. Make joke out of it. See the hilarity.
And in Media I had to do a presentation on Four Weddings and a Funeral and thought I was doing really well as they seemed to be loving my cheap gags.. Then I realised I'd been saying Funeral for a Friend throughout the entire presentation.
That's nothing though. I won't mention any more of my blunders, I'm sure the lad will be along to reveal all at my expense later.
Just laugh it off. They'll find it funnier the more they see it annoys you, and they'll be more likely to never let you forget it if you're uptight about it.
All of your stories make it seem not so bad but it still hurts my feelings when its always me. And also these people weren't my friends, thats the only thing i said to them as we were eating our lunch and I was trying to make new friends with them but then that disaster happened. Meh.
Is it always you though? Or do you just forget when it happens to other people? You are the one who will remember this the longest. I'd actually use the situation to my advantage; you now have something in common with these people and something to laugh about with them. I actually met one of my boyfriends at a party when he got hideously drunk and made a complete fool of himself. Next time I saw him, I teased him about it, which moved to friendship, which blossomed to something more a few months later. Worked out well for him
"No-one can laugh harder if you can laugh at yourself"
...something like that anyway.
"Nothing like a good fuck to get you going in the morning" (In reference to me swearing at work as soon as I got in)
"I can take them up the front if I like them, but generally I only want them in the back" (In reference to minibus seats and where the passegers sit. Oh how I was mocked for that one)
Aww, it might not be a disaster. Perhaps try talking to them another time? We used to always laugh at a friend at college because she played on her ditzyness, and in hindsight she probably really resented it
However, she must have known we weren't intending to be nasty because she's still my friend now ten years on.
Having said that, someone i know has become a legend by saying stupid things. So whenever we see him, we always expect something from him to make us crap ourselves
If you laughed at yourself, and acted like you dont actually care, people would soon get bored and stop taking the piss.
Exactly. We'd all like to think we can talk like we're in a Tarantino movie all the time, but everyone makes mistakes or says stupid things, or forgets what they were going to say in the middle of a sentence. It's how you react when you make mistakes that determines what people think of you. And getting in a mood about it and not being able to laugh with everyone else isn't exactly going to make people warm to you.
Having said that, I've never experienced it myself, because I never make mistakes.
Just swallow it down. I mean you said elton john instead of john travolta. Imagine you said something about the teachers tits to your mate when suddenly the whole classroom goes quiet and everyone can hear it...
happens to the best of us, laugh with them,...
Well, Mexicans do speak Spanish but it's a bastardized version, lots of slang and different words for things that Spanish people don't use.
On another occasion he meant to tell a client that some equipment was tested in the factory, and said "breastfed in the factory" instead.
But neither of those quite comes close to the time he was doing some work for a lady who started cooking her dinner then had to run upstairs for something, asking him to keep an eye on it whilst she did so.
Thus it was that he came to be standing in her kitchen, alone, cooking sausages when her husband walked in the door.
Apparently the husband just stopped dead and stared while my friend just said "hello!".
Miffy, yours were classics too
I had a good one today. I was supposed to send a document to a guy for work, but forgot to attach it to the email. He replies and asks where the attachment is. So I reply saying I'm very sorry... and forget again to attach the damn thing!
Once a teacher of mine was explaining things about a poem, and she confused two lines (changed line in the middle), at the time that she was reading the syllabyls independently of the words, to make us notice something. The result was that she said a dirty word for "vagina", and was also shouting at the time. (the joke can't really be translated).
One other time, some of my classmates were complaining to the math teacher that he was giving us too much homework. At the same time, a guy was balancing his chair on the back legs.
At some point, the teacher got conviced and said "Alright! Alright, I don't want you to collapse from exaustion or anything!". At that exact moment, the guy fell of his chair. Someone said "He collapsed!" and everyone laughed, except him. He should have laughted too.
don't worry much about it, it'll feel embarassing for a little while but people forget things pretty quick. just don't let them know it annoyed you otherwise they'll just keep bringing it up.
