Being called out for embarassing things

Saying things, in public or where it could get you in trouble, like....

Those people need to go to the airport and make bomb jokes. Without you.

Dad has a particular form of that problem. He's on the local school board. And he makes jokes, like saying they should hire from the Atlanta school system (which just had a huge cheating scandal) to improve test scores. Perfectly fine to say in the kitchen at home with family. NOT the best thing to say in a crowded, small-town McDonald's, even if you are speaking *to* the same family members. Guess which place he made that joke today.

Fortunately I don't know people who commonly make such distasteful comments.

EXCEPT quite a few people make awful jokes about whatever shooting/death/tragedy is in the news. Some jokes I kinda understand, like when it involves a celebrity. But when it involves someone taking a gun and killing bystanders, or other such violent/tragic stories, please don't expect me to find the joke funny.

Saying things, in public or where it could get you in trouble, like....

Like the time when me and most of my friends were under 21, and we finally managed to talk to the one of us who was legal into buying us some beer.

It was me, my friend Charles, my friend Rich, and Rich's 13-year-old brother that he got stuck babysitting. I was 20, Charles was 19, and Rich was the only one who was 21. We were all riding with Charles, and we were going to drop Rich off at a bar so he could get us some beer. On the way, Charles tried to pass some slow asshole on a 4-lane road, only to have said asshole speed up when he tried it.

We ended up getting pulled over by a cop. The cop ended up letting Charles off with a warning, probably because he wasn't quite sure exactly what had happened. But when the cop started to walk back to his car to run our information, Rich's brother started running his mouth.

"What about the beer?"

"Shut UP!"

"Are we still getting the beer?"

"Shut the fuck up!"

"But what about the bee?"

"What the fuck is wrong with you??? SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!"

Thankfully, the cop didn't hear any of that, and sent us on our way, but we were all pissed, and made that fact quite clear to Rich's brother. I don't know why he was making such a big deal about the beer, it wasn't like he was going to get any.

"I just wanna know what super hot load dot com is, why can't you tell me? HEY DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT SUPER HOT LOAD DOT COM IS!? THIS GUY WON'T TELL ME!"

Why wouldn't you tell him?

I've found just saying "Yeah, that's furry porn" will make people be like "Oh... Uh... Okay then." And keep going.

Unless its TheValkryie.com, in which case the answer is "That's the website I check daily to see if the world's worst porn writer has written anything new."

Unless the person is one of my friends then you get *weird wtf look* followed by realization and "Wait how the hell do you know that?"
