Worst thing I think I ever said was when I was selling a lot of video cameras to couples:
"When is your baby due?"

Yeah, I did that once, she was 3 months post birth. OPPPPS. Best thing to do is compliment thier decorating or clothing taste (no matter how bad it is) or to keep your mouth shut. :-)

I actually told a client to "Go finger F### your mother." Probably should have bit my lip a little harder.
Oh - my finest hour.

How 'bout just hanging up on them when they are flippin' out on you. Did this to one guy, the next morning he shot and killed himself. I guess next time I'll just take it:)
I guess it didn't help he was about to be arrested for fraud. No wonder he bought $15k in seats, $30k in fiber optic ceiling, a $15k poker table, and a house that was way over the top........it wasn't his money!!!

Years ago I worked on the floor at Circuit City (when you actually got PAID) and I said to a customer that had their back to me ..."excuse me sir can I be of any assistance" and "It" turned around and it took me a while to figure out that it was a female, and had to apologize...invision this...BIG (tall and wide) no breasts, moustache (almost handlebar), and a deep voice...scared the hell out of me! "It" must have fallen out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down!

This was when I was working for another company. They got paid enough to cover the cost of the ceiling and some of the seats. The ceiling was already at the house, but the seats are still in the showroom of my former employer. Big GREEN leather seats he'll probably never sell.

Or:
I wonder where these wires go?

"Oh yeah, my apologizes about your toilet and your daughter. I'll have my plumber by this afternoon, and I know of a great free clinic off of wabash, we can get that little bugger yanked right away ASAP"
