We've all experienced that awkward moment when we've said something but didn't really think it through all the way. Or maybe we did think it through but it just came out wrong.
Sometimes things just don't come out the way you mean them to, as these Redditor's can attest.

"I've got the herps."
I said this to entire group of high school students from my church.
What I MEANT was, "I have a combination of the hiccups and burps." Which I had previously, to my own amusement called "hurps."

Touching girl's face with my hand: "I'd think you were pretty if I was blind."

When talking to my pre-op nurses (carpal tunnel surgery) I informed them that most of the jobs that I have had were "Hand jobs". It made so much sense in my head.

My sister had just been dumped by her fiance. She was devastated. We were at Denny's, where they use to eat a lot, and we were thinking about what to order. She said "You know what Bryan use to love?" meaning something he always ate there. Without skipping a beat I said "you?"
She cried.

Told my wife "I didn't marry you for your looks" when attempting to compliment her intelligence.

My boyfriend's family went to dinner with my family, so his parents could meet mine. His family was kind of large. Both sets of parents were talking about the price of the restaurant we chose, and out of my dad's mouth pops, "At least I only have to feed the skinny ones." ----Dead silence, other than the sound of me shoveling a hole to hide in.

Server here. Woman asked me what I recommended. I said "middle aged women usually like the salads".
I dont even know what the fuck is wrong with me.

My friend is holding his infant daughter.
In my head: "She's so lucky to be born in our modern world, medicine is advancing so fast she may well see the cure to old age, practical immortality."
Out of my mouth: "I wonder how long she'll live?"
Nobody's ever given me a dirtier look.

I was at a dentist appointment and the doctor and hygienist were both trying to look at my teeth and I said
"I can only handle one person in my mouth at a time"

"You look even better with your clothes on."
Not at all what I meant. I meant that she looked beautiful no matter her level of undress. Nerves and speaking before my brain worked out the words made for an awkward moment. As if being nude in front of somebody for the first time isn't nerve wracking enough, I had to blurt that out.
