Have you ever said anything unintentionally to someone that hurt their feelings?

I've met some people at work before and became close to them, until I met this girl that went ballistic on me.

We were talking about colleges and where we went to, what we were studying, etc.
She brought up that she went to a Uni and ended up not finishing for some reasons and now she's in 40k$ debt with parents who don't want to help.

Then I told her my college story, that I studied and graduated. I also mentioned I didn't thankfully had debt because my parents paid my tuition in full. But I went to a 2 year college.

Well her and I aren't friends anymore because of our finances. Which is stupid because everyone was raised differently, I wasn't trying to brag but share my college story.

Sometimes you just can't control how people react.

My worst case of foot-in-mouth occurred when I worked at a record store in the 90’s that also sold some videos. For some reason, we started stocking these horrible football blooper videotapes. People would buy them thinking they were getting a deal on NFL videos, but they were all mainly USFL and CFL clips with no NFL clips whatsoever. We took so many of them back, because customers would return them for being so awful. I began to warn people before they bought them just to make sure they knew what they were getting into. One evening, a really big dude walked up to the counter with one of those videos, so I said something like “just so you know, there are no NFL clips on that tape. It’s mainly crappy USFL highlights.” The guy proceeded to show me his 1983 Michigan Panthers USFL championship ring. Oops.

He bought the tape...angrily. The other guy at the counter astutely observed “I thought he was gonna kick your ass!” It was [i]that[/i] bad. @SaraxKay

@SW-User that's a weird coincidence lol but he took that kind of personally, you didn't know he did or was into US football? You were just being courteous because of the return rate of the video lol.
