Tell us about a messed up thing you inadvertently did to someone

I don’t know his age but he worked as a mortician 25 years ago.

First day, senior year of high school. I woke up late, probably 30 mins or so late. Made the decision that I was still going to shower and get ready. So my little brother and I get to school about 15 minutes after the bell rings and I’m zooming around the parking lot looking for a place to park.

At this time, I had a 2001 GMC 2500 (gas, not diesel so it got great mpg) that was my dad’s old work truck for his landscaping/irrigation company. Anyway, I find a place to park between a Yukon and another truck. At my school as a rule, you had to back in to your parking spot. So I’m rushing, didn’t really pay that close of attention to what I was doing and start backing in and BAM, hit a car in the parking spot I’m trying to back in to. It was a tiny car, like an early 2000s Honda car, and it was all the way in the back of the spot so I just must’ve not even noticed it in my haste and the other two bigger vehicles must’ve also kinda shielded it. My little brother is just sitting there as stoic as a 15 year old can be and never says a word or cracks a smile.

The car belonged to a pretty good friend of mine. My trailer hitch punched a perfect hole right in her front bumper/grill. She had that car throughout college and I never said a word the whole time. My wife and I were invited to her wedding (which was during an LSU game mind you but it was 2020 Auburn so it was a little forgivable) and I decided then was a good time to tell her.

Out drinking for my birthday years back. I had been shooting tequila all night and my podna brought me another one . I was sitting backwards in my chair and I hit the shot and kept going back into a table of fat girls and their freshly served nachos. It was bad according to my podnas

Senior year of high school. I had an older brother that had a fake ID and would by me alcohol. I really didn’t drink much then, but I stupidly ran my mouth that he could get me alcohol so I became the go-to guy for beer and liquor. The week before we were having a big party was nuts. Requests come if in left and right. One guy asked me for a case of beer and asked that I drop it off at his house one night and leave it in the unlocked car in the driveway. I assumed he meant the one he drove so I put it there. Well, his dad drive that car the next morning and found it. His dad was teetotaler Southern Baptist and he got in a lot of trouble. Thankfully he never narc’d me.

Sounds to me like you were trying to get in Pat’s guts.

Aren’t you some kind of service industry lifer? This is why I don’t tip

I was talking with my MIL in her kitchen and a small tv was on running an old rerun of Lassie. She commented about how smart Lassie was. I told her that Lassie wasn't a real dog, but was a man in a dog suit.

I didn't think anymore about this conversation until a week or so later when my wife commented about how dumb her mother was. She said her mother thought Lassie was a man in a dog suit.

Although I felt guilty about what I had done, I never 'fessed up to my wife about what I had told her mother.

I left my Porsche keys inside Mrs Glick

This is exactly the story all the crayon-eating backwards parking people need to hear. You aren't Big Rig Butters and your Ram 1500 is not a "rig."
