Hello my lovelies! Welcome to Thursday. Did you take me up on last week’s dare and get everyone in on a rousing chorus of “Do You Hear the People Sing?”
It’s okay if you didn’t. We’ve got a great dare for this week, too.
Truth: When have you really put your foot in your mouth? To this day I am still horrified by the time in 2nd grade when I told one of my classmates that I hated his haircut.
Dare: Ask someone out, and not necessarily romantically. Maybe you ask that person above you in your company to coffee and see if they’ll mentor you, or you reach out to that cool gal in your class with whom you just know you could be friends. And of course, I also encourage asking out of the romantic variety.
Let me know how you do in the comments!

Do you Hear the People Sing was stuck in my head for two days, I couldn’t stop breaking out in song.
I will have to ask a friend to go out.
OK, I finally thought of a foot in mouth moment I am willing to share. (The first two that came to mind still make me want to plug my ears and shout “Lalalala that never happened!”). In college a sort of friend showed me the fancy new shoes she was wearing, which were red. I immediately said “I was just reading The Southern Belle Primer and the writer said her grandmother always said that red shoes are for children and whores.” From the silence that followed I realized that she was not thinking “Haha, old southern ladies are silly, red shoes rock!” (which was what I was thinking). No, she was thinking “SaraB just called me a whore.” I could think of nothing to say that wouldn’t make things worse, so I mumbled something and ran away.
Asking a very new mom if she was serious with the name of her daughter probably wasn’t a good idea.
Making fun of boss when said boss is behind you? Yup.
Only realizing that you’ve been turning your user name and pass word around after loudly complaining for five minutes and asking the IT for help (sorry guys it was a Monday!)
I could go on like this.
When have I really put my foot in my mouth? Every time I drunk-FB. Oof.
I think we have all been there. See also: Tumblr, drunk and twitter.
Oh, that was me last night. Totally.
I sort of want to have a P-Mag thread that you can only participate in if you’re hammered.
*Raises hand* Â I am notorious for this one. Â Fortunately, my college girlfriends and I have a secret non-public group on FB and this is where I post my drunken nonsense. Â They already know I say stupid shit I don’t mean when I’m drunk.
It’s the being provoked by stupid shit my relatives say thing, mostly. It’s like waving a red flag in front of a bull. A drunken bull.
Oo! I’m going to ask out one or more of my youth gals to go for coffee or something. :)
Yeah! One thing I’ve learned is that the majority of people feel absolutely flattered to be asked to do something. It’s a very low-risk dare. :)
