I have a new co-worker who was asking me questions about our 401k plan and retirement accounts in general. I told him that 401k loans were stupid (rather loudly). Foot in mouth moment: My cubicle is surrounded by people who aren't the best at managing their finances (2 with past bankruptcy cases) and a high percentage of my department currently have outstanding 401k loans - I know because I'm privy to the information.

I, of course, have stuck my foot in my mouth so much I still can't get the nail polish off my teeth. But, I can't remember any of the good stories. If I let them haunt me, I would never sleep again.
But, a few months ago we were at a party and my husband was ridiculing vegans. And the guy we were talking to was a vegan. So, my husband thought it would be funny to step it up. I can't tell if it was funny, or he just looked like an ass. I tried laughing to indicate to the guy that he was just being stupid, but if I could go back and say "I think he is trying to be funny. Is it working?" I think it would have helped everyone out. I'm not sure my husband knew how to get out of the situation, and everyone else just stood there and watched the train wreck happen.

Many years ago my we went on a Bay cruise with a black couple - dinner and drinks routine.
The waitress asked us what we would like to drink and we said a Black Russian and they said white wine. I'll bet you can see this one coming and you're right.
The waitress returned, placed the Black Russian's in front of the black couple and the white wine in front of us. We totally lost it and had tears rolling down our faces. The poor waitress was beside herself and couldn't find a hole to crawl into. We all assured her it was OK and to prove it, we left her a very nice tip!

I remember, I made a big deal to a new neighbor about how our neighborhood was a lot of gay couples 15 years ago, and now it has changed to be more families. Then I met the woman's wife and son.
