So I f'ed up last night

[ChrisH]

So last night I was having dinner with a big group of friends (some from out of town), LOTS of wine and booze, having a great time. Not surprisingly, I have a tendency to make, well, off-color jokes, but do consider myself pretty funny and not personally offensive, and my friends enjoy my sense of humor. Well, a friend of a friend shows up late, sits down, and seems cool, is hanging out. He is Indian (dot not feather). The rest of us are honkies.

So we get the check, are settling up, and he makes some joke about needing to carjack someone or something like that I forget the exact joke). I, being a bit tipsy (ok, a lot) say, "well, you're the only one of us with the appropriate skin tone to do so." The guy gets up and calls me a fatass and just leaves the restaurant. Total fucking sensitive Sally. I felt bad, not because of him, but because of how my friend (who knew him) felt uncomfortable. But, yeah, it became a "holy shit, did that just happen?" moment, and we all went our seperate ways shortly thereafter, definitely a lot of uncomfortable silence.

On a 1-10 scale, how badly would you say I fucked up with my friends (I don't give a shit if that guy is mad at me)?

[Bunny™]

If they're mad at you, you need new friends.
That was a funny line. Bravo.

[d0uche_n0zzle]

I concur. Fuck them if they can't take a joke.

[jpc165]

The guy seems like a sensitive cunt. Fuck him if he can't take a joke. Holy shit whats the world coming to when you cant bust your friends balls?

[ChrisH]

Agreed, but to be clear and honest, he was a friend of a friend. But still.

Thanks guys.

Shit if thats all you said hes a pussy i would have told him to steal a taxi so he feels more at home behind the wheel

[NoSurviivors]

I'm with the rest of em.

Cab?? So you're drivin? Cool! Lets go!

[Taso]

If he walked out on the bill, then fuck him bigtime, if he paid his fair share, he is still an asshole, and f him anyway.

Three lashes with a wet noodle for you!
What you did was inexcusable. First thing is first. Call eveyone that was at the dinner and personally apologize. Be sincere! Even drinking too much is no excuse for what you did.
Second, get together with the gentleman you insulted. Perhaps through the common friend. Set up a meeting where you can apologize to him face to face and show him that you are not the kind of monster you came across as when you were intoxicated. Again, be sincere. You could offer to take him and any family he has out to dinner to learn more about his culture. Volunteer at a soup kitchen or a homeless shelter. You need to be a little more sympathetic to the strife of the downtrodden in this country! Next, you must seek counseling through your local church and speak to your clergyman.
You obviously have some issues that you need to sort out lest you become a social outcast as was the case at last nights gathering.
Good luck and God Bless

Jesus, look at those teeth. Is that Vos' mom?

[jpc165]

Sounds like a new format for the show tomorrow.:rolleyes:

[jpc165]

Oh, now, come on now guys! This is serious!


Oh right its Andrew Nice Clay!

[Warfarer]

I wouldn't think your friends would hold that against you over night. Call them and act like nothing happened and see where they stand. Since that guy started the joke, he can't let someone to just sit there and not hammer it home.

I have a buddy who says stupid shit all the time and in far worse situations, like telling a woman that she has the nicesgt tits he has ever seen while she is being cuddled by her 6'3, 250 lb boyfriend. I have gotten him out of so many fights it isn't even funny but I don't give a shit because it is just another night.

[Smokezilla]

Fuck 'em and feed 'em oatmeal.:icon_wink

[JaJaJulie]

Oh, now, come on now guys! This is serious!


Eeeeek! Anthony's turned into a hole! :action-sm

[NortonsGravyLeg]

While what you said may have been mildly innapropriate, sounds to me like your friends are a little over sensitive.

[BCH]

It's a throw-away line you said while drunk. The guy's not even a black guy for christs sake. Although I must admit I might not be too happy if somebody compared me to a Ni...

[Tax Kuntz]

Fuck all of them. I have been known to make an "off color"
comment here and there. Some people just stare with
their mouth open, some laugh, some get mad.

Who cares what they think. Real friends just move on.

[Flea_Man]

Tell him to lighten up and that you didn't mean it.

[HumpX]

Be careful, a lot of these guys might not know who Ann Landers is....LOL.

[7cent]

well, good thing colonialism fixed most of you people....

[generoso]

Yeah, I noticed! Fuck 'em then. Let them think I lost my mind.

Oh, about the trouble at dinner? I'd have thrown a few of these lines out at him:

We prayed to Siva to help us find the stone. It was Siva who made you fall from sky. So you will go to Pankot Palace... and find Sivalinga... and bring back to us. Bring back to us. Bring back to us.

Then order the Chilled Monkey Brains for dessert.
Ahh but what wine goes with Chilled brains..a nice Pinot maybe.

[KnitterRich]

When you get together to apologize, if he accepts and everything is good, make sure you stop him on the way out and say "Now you undewstand the mayjeek of the ruck?"

He'll tip his hat and get splashed by an elephant.

[Jims Rottweiler]

Tell him to lighten up and that you didn't mean it.

Flea, if you tell him to "lighten" up, don't you think it will upset him even more?

[wes mantooth]

You should have run after him, apologized profusely for your inappropriate behavior, and then offered to buy him a hamburger to square things up.

[Cozmik]

You could call and apologize but I bet you'd have to get through several phone menus before you could speak to "Robert".

[Corky's Revenge]

You should have drawn a picture of Mohammed on a napkin and then pissed on it. Fuck him if he can't take a joke.

[Voss's Tumor]

Flea, if you tell him to "lighten" up, don't you think it will upset him even more?

It's just some friendly advice for how he can fit in with the "normal" colored people.

Is Dead Ann Landers gonna hafta smack a bitch?

[yellowstonesteve]

Agreed, but to be clear and honest, he was a friend of a friend. But still.

Thanks guys.

I think we've all done this. A new friend took me to a New Years party a few years back and told me he knew a chick w/a glass eye. Within 15 seconds of being introduced to her, she's telling a story to my friend & I pop out with something to the extent of "did they sneak up on your blind side?". She wanted me dead, my friend was mortified, but now she loves me & everyone expects the most inappropriate comments to come from me.

So, it'll be ok.

That made me laugh out loud.

I completely understand. I am the guy that if someone is going to introduce me to one of their friends they tell me to behave and not blurt stupid shit out.

Dear Ann Landerth,

I'm already a social outcast and God hates me. What can I do?

[Ol'BloodyBottom]

At my old job This new guy starts and I find out we are neighbors. Since he was from arkansas I figured he was a good old boy. So i say so you have any Scmoogies as your neighbors? He says what is a schmoogie? I say a negro. He LOL's then says no. 2 minutes later he says to me my sister married a schmoogie. I was like :icon_eek: . He says she met him at school he was a Defensive lineman for U of Arkanasa. She is 5'3". I was so uncomfortable I said so what did u say when she came home with him. The conversation ended there with that and we talked about golf.

That's all well and good, but the convo should've ended with a,
"prepare to meet Cali, in hell."

WBL is the biggest child on these boards.

Did you feel a little silly when you listened a little closer and realized that the word is "schwoogie," not "schmoogie?"

[sclone]

Hey, it's "Doesn't understand that most Indians are Hindis or Buddhists" guy.

[tacobelldoug]

okay if it was me in your unique position, I would talk to the fellow and let him know that you thought that since you guys were joking around that he would be okay with your joke.

Chances are he's been thinking about it and wondering if he overreacted.

Your friends should have no problem with it because they know you and most likely may have expected that joke from you. But when it comes to racist jokes, some of us white folks (I'm assuming you and your friends are white) will be the first to act like we are disgusted by any form of racism.

However, if he still acts like a bitch, hand him a cell phone; call the FBI; and tell them he's planning to blow something up with it.

[NightStalker3]

Dot Indians don't get jokes or sarcasim. My wife innocently called my lil daughter an "Indian Giver" in the supermarket after my daughter snatched her keys back from the cashier. The dot was all horrified... My wife was a little embarrassed. Then she thought, WTF shes not American Indian. Fuck her.

My sister married a dot indian. I have to constantly censor myself whenever I go over there. And at family functions when his mother shows up and bakes those dot indian foods. If he only knew that I called him Habu behind his back.

[Ol'BloodyBottom]

No deek I have been saying Schmoogie for years way before O&A. My racist vocabulary goes further then what they say. I invented the word schmoogie woo woo.

[BCH]

Hey, it's "Doesn't understand that most Indians are Hindis or Buddhists" guy.

Actually, they're Hindus or Buddhists. Hindi is the national language of India.

[Ren5150]

You didnt say anything bad enough to cause that type of outburst. If your friend gives you shit over this, he's not a friend. What you did was nothing.

Now, if you call your best friends fiance by his ex wifes name, thats an issue. I did it, twice. She cried. Good.

[HummerTuesdays]

Just tell them that you were offended that the mutual friend brought a car jacker to dinner. As a car owner, I'm sure as hell offended that he "joked" about stealing one. :)

[bruisedballbag]

I concur. Fuck them if they can't take a joke.


Same here, Fuck 'em. Free Speech motherfucker. If it were me, I would have laughed.


Just think about how he is going to feel at the airport:action-sm

[Corky's Revenge]

Hey, it's "Doesn't understand that most Indians are Hindis or Buddhists" guy.
I just searched "India religion" on google. According to a yahoo travel page, 80% of the population are indeed Hindu like you said. Only 0.7% are Buddhist, while 14% are Muslim.

Right.

[Bill]

You fucked up last night? Bullshit. You're friend fucked up by bringing an asshole with no sense of humor to dinner. It was obvious that you were joking. If he didn't get the joke, then that's his problem. Not yours.

Based on your story it isn't clear whether the guy ran out on the tab or not. If he did, the only thing that anyone needs to say to "doesn't get the joke guy" is that he still owes money for dinner.

[NuttyJim]

fuck him if he can't take a joke....

Nah, he just showed up late and didn't order anything, so he didn't have anything to skip out of. He just got up and left like a bitch because he couldn't take a joke that was marginally (and not personally) offensive at best.

Thanks for all your support, guys. Yeah, my friends are cool with it, my friend's wife was a bit annoyed, but whatever. All is good, I just hated making *my* friends feel uncomfortable because their friend all but cried an ran away. Oh well. Thanks, 'baggers.

[NJisSexiest]

Tell him to lighten up.

does anybody else find humor in that considering the situation....

Right.

You said that most Indian's were Hindu (actually you said Hindis) or Buddhist. How is 0.7% most of the population? I was wrong, but I don't act like I know everything. Hey, it's "Thinks he knows it all" guy.

[westben2002]

eh, don't worry, i'm half dot, and i make racist jokes about indians too, because i hate everyone equally

[SurlyTruckDrivr]

yeah, I think everyone has one of those stories. I was going out to eat with my buddy and his girlfriend, this was a Friday night, that Sunday I was flying down south to work for the week in Atl and Alabama. She was telling my girlfriend about her trip there and how she said she enjoyed some shopping somewhere and said it was good. So I chime in with "Yeah, I guess it all depends on what you're shopping for. I plan on stopping by slave headquarters and grabbing a few for the fall and winter to rake the leaves and shovel the snow." Que the crickets, dead silence. You can figure out the story from here. Later that night we were talking and she showed me a pic of her son, and sure enough it was a "Conglomerated Mullata Mongrel child" She wasn't mad, she kinda laughed it off once she saw my face, but thankfully my buddy explained my awful sense of humor and all is ok, but talk about giving yourself the douche chills.

[DonTheTrucker]

Would this be the appropriate time to mention the story about me making a joke in front of my ex girlfriend's gay friend about gay priests molesting children?

[Joe Avezzano]

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't get the joke... A (dot) Indian stealing cars? Wouldn't it make more sense if it was some kind of taxi related joke? Where I live, the (feather) Indians are way more likely to steal cars. Regional humor, or I might just be the "doesn't get the bit" guy.

I loved the the Temple of Doom reference by the way.

[TheDrip]

You should have drawn a picture of Mohammed on a napkin and then pissed on it. Fuck him if he can't take a joke.
That would just be fun to do, period.

You could call and apologize but I bet you'd have to get through several phone menus before you could speak to "Robert".
:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

[B54]

I was wrong, but I don't act like I know everything. Hey, it's "Thinks he knows it all" guy.

You should have just let it go, you are further showing your ignorance.

Just because they wear a turban, it does not mean they are Muslim. Turbans actually orginated in Eastern Asia. Sikhs make up for the great majority of people that wear turbans. Most Islamic people actually do not wear turbans.

[Fr. Dougal]

I had one of those moments today. Someone came into our job to take a test. I asked my friend next to me if she here for the blah-blah-whatever job.

She said no. So I decided to try the goofy shocking kind of joke and said, "Good, cause she's ugly." And my friend (prob not anymore) said "Good, cause she's my friend." Got incredibly pissed at me.

Oh well.

[Wetback78]
