Young Aussie here. Jumped into an elevator after work with a big group of workmates.
The elevator is quite big as it's also the service elevator that can fit all the cleaners large equipment between floors.
We're pretty much already mostly packed in this thing with just our group alone. But even more people were piling-in on each floor to the point where the entire elevator was full.
This is where I fucked up.
The last group that got on included a sizable gentlemen of both height and width. I saw the feller but thought nothing about it. No judgements here.
After a couple of seconds of standing around in mostly silence. I mentioned to my friend that we had a "fat stack" (meaning lots of people) and should all jump at the same time.
The moment "fat stack" erupted from my lips I knew the mistake. I looked over at the gentleman, and he looked over at me and we locked eyes for a split second of eternity.
The commotion that followed was mostly quiet "let's not do that" and "there's a pregnant woman on here"
After getting off at the ground level my friend hung back to make a joke that further confirmed my suspicions of the mistake.
TL:DR: Genuinely feel super bad by accidently implying a tall and wide gentleman was a "fat stack" in an elevator when making a terrible joke and not an offensive joke.
