No, but when I introduced a new guy at the office to a lovely female colleague, he cheerfully asked "when's the baby due?" -unfortunately she wasn't pregnant - it inspired her to go to the gym though (!)
Not sure who was more embarrassed by the situation, him, her or me!

Oh yes, many times. I have fibromyalgia and I forget things at the drop of a hat. I no sooner meet some one then do I forget their names. I have to ask for it again. You simply smile and be polite. Otherwise you can do a little floursih and a bow with a "TADA!!" on top of it.( I've tried that. It makes people laugh)

I used to visit Bangalore in India and everytime I was introduced to someone I used to say " What lovely weather today "
It's like going to Alaska and saying I think it might snow today.

I was introduced to a Chinese fella and said "Herro"
*cringe*
everytime I saw him I'd try to make myself say "hi" but it always came out "herro"
Bless his heart he never looked offended.

Oh yes, I once said "oh you look chavvy!" quite cheerfully, it was a few years ago, before the chav image really got bad. But they didn't really talk to me after that...
