I felt kind of bad about it afterwards, but DAMN "deal me around the room like a pack of cards" still cracks me (and my college roommates) up. (It's possible that it's much funnier if you'd seen the girl I was referring to.)

1) in fifth grade one day our teacher didn't assign any homework and some jerk went 'what's our homework Mrs. Strickland?' etc. etc., you know the type, so the teacher said jokingly 'everybody watch the Cosby show tonight' and Jennie Ak*ns, who I had a huge crush on at the time (she looked like an eleven-year old Phoebe Cates), said 'my family doesn't watch the Cosby show' which threw the class into a tizzy because in EVERYBODY watched the Cosby show so the teacher asked 'why don't you watch the Cosby show?' and I shouted out 'because her parents are racists!'. Anyhow it turned out that was why they didn't watch the Cosby Show.
2) about three years ago I accidentally told a girl I was trying to woo that I thought she was a dillettante (which she was). She eventually formed a Chan Marshall knockoff group, stalked Jeff Mangum around town for awhile.

Anyway to top it off he was full of all this feel the burn sports coach shit like "you take on board what I am telling you, but don't expect me to spoonfeed you, TAKE THE INITATIVE AND GO THE EXTRA MILE LADS". Towards the end when everyone stopped going he used to warn the remaining class members "DON'T JUMP SHIP".
I guess all this is provokation but anyway one day he left the room to get something from the staff room and he'd left loads of figures on the board, like marking schemes. It was 15, then 17, then 19, one below the other adding up to 51 and then next to it a few different numbers then a few others next to that and a total again.
So I got up from my desk at the front and changed all the numbers which were being added to different ones. Anyway he came back in and the whole class is practically convulsing with laughter already and he thinks someone is doing something or there's some joke and cos he wants to be one of the boys he's pretending to laugh along.
So eventually he gets back to work and he starts adding them up and he's like, "so your total is 51, that's 13 plus 11 plus 17, erm...................hang on........" and the longest fucking silence ensued. He was just stuck staring at the board and I reckon everyone in the room has never laughed so hard in their lives and he's still like "what's so funny, shut up guys I'm trying to work this out".
I mean it was the meanest thing I have ever done to anyone and by the end he was just so embarassed but fuck it it was also the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life.

I do remember meeting up with some people and the conversation was so stilted, awkward and uncomfortable (it became obvious very early on there were a number of pretty insurmountable personality differences). I remember thinking aloud and blankly stating: "Oh, sod it. I didn't want to meet you in the first place," which didn't go down all that well. When you think about it, it is the ultimate putdown. Never mind, I don't like you because I don't think you're nice people, I didn't even want to get to know you from the outset. I wouldn't want to see those people again but I do feel a bit guilty about my attitude. I'd like to think I'm a bit more open and accommodating towards new people now.

at a friend's wedding this past summer, we were all milling about just before dinner, everyone trying to figure out where to sit. i was standing next to my friend christine and her boyfriend, each of us scanning for places. christine to me: "hey, we could sit over here." me: "hey, you know who i'd like to sit with? Colin and Lynn!!" and then i wander off...
it was just that i was feeling really edgy and nervous and needed to be with calming influences. that was not the only goof i made with her that day. i guess it's good that i had all my rotten eggs in one basket.

This one is trivial but particularly indefensible. At a party a couple months ago, I was talking to this fairly tall guy that I don't know that well who was saying he knew the party would be very "Upper East Side" (like in a bad way) but that it was ok anyway. The friend who knows him much better than I do was teasing him a little about his comments and for some reason I found myself saying to him, "It has been raining lately, but there's no flood" and I looked at his pants cuffs. We were both mortified.
Later he said it was good that I had told him that his pants were on the short side, your friends tell you these things, etc. But really I didn't know him well enough to say something like that. and I suspect the pants selection for him may be more limited than for shorty here. The thing is, the more you apologize for something like this, the more you draw attention to it so I can't. I will burn in hell.
