I was at a party talking to this girl I'd just met. She was wearing a really nice skirt and I noticed what I thought was her hand in her pocket. I remembered my friends always complaining about women's clothes not having pockets so I said something like "Oh that's awesome your skirt has pockets, my friends are always complaining about that."
She looked completely confused. Said her skirt doesn't have pockets.
I doubled down like an idiot. Said I saw her hand in her pocket earlier.
That's when her face went red and she held up her left arm. Her hand is amputated below the elbow. What I thought was her hand in a pocket was just her arm resting against her side.
I immediately apologized and wanted to die on the spot. Thankfully she laughed and said that's a new one. We actually ended up talking the rest of the night and she was cool about it.
But I'm still mortified.
TL;DR: Complimented a girl's skirt pockets. Her skirt didn't have pockets. She didn't have a hand.
