Spoken Social Faux Pas of 2008

  • Q. Is there a recycle bin around? I have junk mail I need to discard.
    A. I have a waste basket right here.


  • I just got back from my Mexico vacation. I had an all-inclusive, beach front hotel. I never made it outside of the compound, except to and from the airport.


  • My barbeque grill was filthy, so I sparked it up, put in on full and burned it off for 20 minutes. Nothing like a good smoke to kill the germs.


  • I’m disappointed that Obama won.


  • (When ordering at a restaurant) No I don’t want the micro-brewed dark ale, I’ll have a Labatt’s Blue please.


  • In my experience, it’s much easier to get along with a male manager than a female manager.


  • I told my 12 year old kid, if he wanted to go to his baseball game he could ride his bike, I don’t have the time for these things.


  • I don’t think it is part of my job description to go to a soup kitchen with my work team and volunteer my time.


  • (When ordering at a restaurant during a work lunch) I’ll have a double vodka with club soda, in a tall glass with a slice of lime please.


  • I had computer troubles so I phoned the Help Desk and specifically asked for Bill. The other guy has an accent that I find difficult to understand at times.

UPDATE: These are not my personal opinions. I was attempting satire. I thought of things that would be perfectly normal to say 25 years ago, that might not be anymore.
