I think if you know me, you know that I'm a very liberal guy.  So I'm pretty ashamed of myself for this.

 

Story after this.  But have you ever done something in the moment and realized what a jerk you are?  Like just regret it so much that you want to shower in a bucket of bleach?  That you were the bigot that you've always railed against?

 

So a few months ago, I had trouble doing #2.  Went to ER and the Muslim lady doctor said "I will check for hemmorhoids."  This of course involved her sticking her finger up my bunghole.  Idk what came over me but I said "I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that."  

 

Here I am, Mr. liberal, basically insulting this young lady Muslim doctor because I was uncomfortable for whatever reason.  I immediately apologized profusely and said "I know this is a professional environment.  You've put in a lot of work to get where you are and I just insulted you."

You were uncomfortable because she was a woman and not because you were about to get anally violated? Interesting.

 

What moments where I was a jerk do I wish I could take back? A few of my posts here.

No strong regrets, but similar story.

Several years back, visit to Doc for general checkup. Doc does his thing, leaves me with PA, who is an absolutely gorgeous 35-40 year-old woman. She does a couple more things, then says "Let's just check your prostate." I say, "Uhhhhh, okay... if it's mutual." She says "Mutual? Meaning what?" I say "Well, if you're going to stick your finger up my butt, I ought to get to stick my finger up yours, no?" She laughs, responds with "Oh, I wasn't going to use my bare finger!" I said, "Neither was I."

Still waiting for that check...

Hey it could have been worse, you might have had an old lady Baptist doctor sticking her finger in your ass.

We had our first 3-month old in our first apartment in Honolulu. The people upstairs were having a small party and watching SNL, and they were laughing and having a good time. I was totally sleep deprived (3-month old will do that to you) and the noise was drifting into our apartment. As anyone with an infant knows, your decision-making is pretty well fucked after several nights of bad sleep and general exhaustion. So I stormed upstairs, knocked on the door, and really let them have it. I mean I was a real dick about it. They quieted down but honestly they weren't even doing anything wrong in the first place. I went upstairs the next day after getting some decent sleep and apologized. The guy wasn't super excited to see me again, but I didn't blame him. I still feel bad about that, but at least now I have some empathy for new parents and all of the shit they have to deal with.

My downstairs neighbor came up once to complain about the noise we were making, not partying but stomping our feet.  He came back a second time.  I answered while holding a meat cleaver

It's been a long time since I've been an asshole. I'm sure other people will say I'm an asshole everyday, but fuck 'em.

 

So when I was in 5th or 6th grade, I thought it would be funny to move someone's right as he was sitting now. He landed on his ass but wasn't hurt. They teacher called on me and I lied saying it was an accident.

Good thing the guy was pretty mild tempered because he was much bigger than me and could have broken me in half. I still remember his name - Ian Rapson.

I once hit a man in Dearborn, Michigan.  A hit and run. I hit him and just kept on going.  I don't know if he's alive or dead.  But I'm sorry. Not a day goes by I don't see his face.

Called a friend of my dad's a racoon. I was 10. Thought he had sunburn while wearing glasses.

Nope. Skin condition from his days running a PBR in Vietnam. I felt like a real ass when my dad explained to me. Dude forgave me but I was always ashamed of that moment.

RIP Captain Glutting.

Oh, my brother... do I feel this pain.

Growing up my older sister had a childhood friend and my mom was good friends with this girl's mother. My sister's friend was an only child and her mother was a widow....husband KIA in Vietnam.

I'm guessing this is around 1979 or 80, I'm a kid and my sister and I go on an out of state vacation with the mom and the daughter.

My sister and her friend are 4 years older and when you're about 6 or 7 like I was, well man that age difference might as well be a gulf. So, I didn't fit in... and the my sister and her friend bullied me a little on the trip... but it was nothing, nothing,
at all even compared to the shitty thing I did. 

Some hot afternoon on the trip and I'm mad because my sister's friend says something to me that I don't like. I tell her she's a bastard because she doesn't have a dad.
Even then I know that is not the definition of a bastard but I say it to her anyway just to be an asshole. She runs off crying and a few minutes later her mom walks up to me.

I will never, ever, forget how calm and gracious she was. This is how you adult. 
She explained to me the definition of a bastard and also why her daughter wasn't one.

Her father?

Gentlemen, it did not take me a few years to forgive myself.
It took a few decades.

I was 16 and teaching swimming and boys sports in my hometown's summer activities program.  One day one of my favorite swimming students was upset and not really participating in the class like he usually did.  After class I asked him what was wrong and he confided in me that his mom had caught him taking money from her purse that morning and he was still smarting from the punishment.

The next day I thoughtlessly needled him about it, including using the word thief.  In front of the class.  I knew that I had fucked up when he got pissed at me and stormed off, but not how badly.

The next day his mom came up to me before the class began and told me that he wouldn't be back.  She asked me if I realized that her son looked up to me and thought that I hung the moon until I said that, and that it hurt him so badly that he wanted to quit swimming lessons entirely.  She then told me that he was in the car, if I wanted to apologize to him.  I have rarely felt so low, nor given a more sincere and heartfelt apology.  He didn't accept it, and I don't blame him. 

He did swap over to another swimming class and finished the summer program, so I'm happy for that.  But I don't think that he ever forgave me.  I know that I haven't.
