I, while conversing with someone either familiar or not particularly so, commit myself to a viewpoint, judgement, perspective on an issue, person, and/or clothing style, and then realize that this person could A) feel the opposite way and I thus, unknowingly, insulted them or B) maybe I have insulted someone in their family.
Many scenarios fit into this criteria, even though it sounds specifically random. Once, in eighth grade I was sitting on the bench just before tip off, and the other team was still finishing warming up. To my teammate beside me I made a remark that one of the players on the opposing team had on the new LJs and how they were real popular but I felt they were also real ugly. Then, expectedly, and to my horror, I looked down to find my teammate was indeed wearing the new LJs. Damn it........
This also happens when I make a statement concerning how much I hate certain things, like say capri pants, then I realize, oh bother, what if this person just bought a new pair of capri pants that they can't wait ti put on. Of course, I think, they probably could care less what I think, and I would say that is good for them, but for me, if someone said that about my capri pants, no matter how forgettable the person's opinion was it would constantly plague me that somewhere someone felt a strong disdain for these pants that I was wearing. So, now not only were my pants irritatingly exposing my mid-calf, but they were also channeling hate.
