Completely inappropriate? Yeah, that sounds like me

If you know me in real life, you know that I am ultra-frank, maybe too frank, and I’ve been known to put my foot in my mouth quite often on occasion. Apparently, even being at work, with people that I’ve known for only a week, doesn’t stop me from saying whatever I want, no matter how completely inappropriate!

Co-worker (with really strong Indian accent): Well, you know, you have the wision!

Me: Wision?

Co-worker: Yeah, your wision!

Me: What is a wision?

Co-worker: You know your WISION *Opens out his hands to the monitior*

Me: Ohhh, a VISION! Amm, ok Indian boy! hahaha

*Wonders to myself if that was offensive*

Me: Hey, ummm, was that offensive?

Co-worker: What?

Me: Well, I called you “Indian boy”...

Co-worker: Really? I didn’t hear you

Me: Oh… so is it offensive?

Co-worker: No, no

Me: Well, I mean I am Indian too, so I just said it, but I really can’t have conversations with sensitive people

Co-worker on the other side of our cubicles whom I’ve never met before: Hi! I heard your conversation and I thought I would introduce myself!

Me: Hmmm, you heard all that? Wow. Ok, nice to meet you. Did you find it offensive?

Co-worker on the other side of our cubicles whom I’ve never met before: No, no, I was laughing over there!

Me: Phew! Ok, well, nice to meet you!

Another co-worker from the other side: Hi, I thought I would introduce myself too!

Me: Great to meet you! You were on vacation last week? Hmmm

*Thinks to myself, "great, last week, the guy next to me called me feisty, and now everyone knows I don't like sensitive people and I make slightly amusing, but sorta lame, and generally inappropriate comments! the next 5 months, 2 weeks, and 3 days should be fun!"*
