Have you ever opened your mouth and said something and somehow it is probably the dumbest thing you've ever said? But, before you say it it makes perfectly rational sense in your head. And sometimes, even though you know you should just stop mid sentence or after the first email, it just doesn't stop. Sanity somehow has temporarily taken a vacation and left you absolutely to your own devices, which obviously in my case can't be good. Everyone needs good, constant, rational sanity. It seems in the last few months I've had more than my share of cases like this. They seemed like such a great things to say/do in the moment. The sad thing is, the more you try to explain it, the worse it gets so by the end you've either messed everything up or as in my case yesterday, you hope your co-workers have temporary amnesia and forget the dumb comment you made.

I do this all the time. I am really good at it. I would even say that it is one of my best talents.
Everyone in my family speaks their mind. I have been trying to work on editing for a long time. It is hard to do.
In our family, no one speaks our mind, so I'm trying to do it more. Sadly, we get into more fights in our family for NOT saying anything, than for saying stuff and hurting feelings. If that isn't the dumbest thing... I'd say your situation people can at least relate to!
