Tumbleweed Moments
Discussion
I was in two minds as to whether to repeat this story - I've already told it in another thread on PH 
When I was at university, we were having a very late night chat after going to the bar. There were 4 or 5 of us there, and the discussion had been becoming more morbid over time. I decided that the mood needed lifting.
Unfortunately I did this when one of the girls was talking about one of their friends who had died from Motor Neurone disease by saying "Was he driving too fast".
Luckily she didn't hear this - but everyone else did, and she asked me to repeat it based on their reactions.

Pefectly put
The biggest tumbleweed moment I can remember was when a mate said to another mate in a group conversation:
"You should go to a skinhead like your brother. I think it would really suit you"
The joking and laughter stopped and this was followed by a good 30 seconds of silence as everybody waited for the reaction. Everybody but the guy who opened his mouth knew that his brother had some terrible disease which made him lose all hair and eyebrows
Took it well though, the guy asking felt bad

Ironically the use of the word "loose" rather than "lose" is almost arguably correct here. 
I was just stepping in for the edit. Keep getting those mixed upI just remembered another one.
I was stepping on the tube a few months ago on my way to a party and was having a "who would you rather do" conversation.
A BJ from her or a 3some with these 2 etc etc... you get the idea.
We where getting quite into it by the time we stepped on the train and getting heavily critical and discussing various merits and flaws rather vocally. We had our backs to the glass panel infront of the seats and turned around about 3 mins into the journey to see two of the girls we where talking about staring blankly at us.
Didn't talk to them much at the party but they have got over it
