Blokes who say inappropriate things
Discussion
I've got one in-law and met another guy recently who both seem to completely miss the social occasion and not understand when not say things. For example I was out with Mrs 111R and we got chatting to another couple in a restaurant who seemed nice, and mostly were, but at one point the guy talked about his teenage son's female friends wearing very short skirts and him wanting to look up as they walked up the stairs! (Sort of) fine if its you and your mates joking about in the pub but when you are out with your other halves...? Plus my in-law got a slap for being cheeky to my sister in law and said "Ooo yes please, keep going." It might not sound that bad here but it was completely inappropriate at a family event. I've had a word with him a couple of times too but what is it about some guys and not getting when not to say things?
I have got a friend who is becoming more like this. It's beginning to piss me off.
One recent example. I was out with my wife and we bumped into him. She mentioned she'd been out with some female colleagues and that she'd seen him.
His response:
"You should have brought them over to say hello. So long as they have big tits and Fannys."
She put him in his place.
I just don't get why people come out with inappropriate statements or act inappropriately. We can all be insensitive by accident, but coming out with tits and fanny lines to a blokes wife?

Yeah, nobody wants big fannys. Good on your Mrs for stepping in.One recent example. I was out with my wife and we bumped into him. She mentioned she'd been out with some female colleagues and that she'd seen him.

When my daughter was born me and the ex wife did the usual visiting friends and family. One of my mates who's a bit of a womaniser (albeit a pretty rubbish one) held the kid and said "first dibs when she turns 18". Everyone else went silet and although I thought it was hilarious, the ex got proper cross. There's been plenty of situations since then that he's managed to upset people's girlfriends. Good lad actually.

I'd have found that funny as well, even if it were my kid.

Is he that chap from Family Guy? 
I know someone like this, for the most part his sense of humour in general makes Frankie Boyle look like the Pope's speech writer and certainly when in more familiar and closed company can be rather extreme, generally hilariously so but certainly extreme!
However, he also does on occasion step what is a tad over the line in more open and mixed company.
I have pulled him up on it a few times over the years and his usual reply is something along the lines of f**k off. Coupled with a more measured reply of, paraphrasing a few examples I can think of the things I have had back over the years; there are far too many people that champion the mediocre, think of the children, ban the likes of the Robinsons Jam label, champion positive discrimination like it is a good thing and worship political correctness like it is the saviour of humanity. That kind of lunacy needs some balance or we will hit rock bottom faster than a fat kid on an empty seesaw and turn society into something more akin to that from 'Demolition Man', lets face it nobody wants that so f**k it, may as well be me!
Which to a degree I get, I also have on more than one occasion if it has been by text message got the Stephen Fry quote / meme back on being offended.
I am not sure I necessarily agree with the tactic, I do get the sentiment though and to a larger degree agree with it.

Went shopping with my old dad in posh department store, he wanted a new jumper but couldnt find the right one, he asked for help. The assistant was at one end of the counter, him at the other when he found the right style in the wrong colour, he shouted across.
'Have you got this in N***** Brown?'
'Have you got this in N***** Brown?'
the first time I met one of my now good mates, he was brought along to a night out by another mate. He was the "new boy" to the group so to speak. At the time, I was in the early stages of a relationship with a girl who was also a friend of many of my mates from their school, but we were keeping things quiet.
Anyway, new chap comes along with my other mate, and within 10 minutes, he has steered the conversation with this girl I was kind of seeing, who he has never met before, to talking about anal beads, along with his (terrible) impression of the noise they make when they are pulled out. This didn't go too well, and my lady friend and her mates left us in the pub to continue their night out elsewhere... the relationship sadly didn't go on much longer after this and I half wonder if this is part of the reason why! (it isn't, but at the time it felt like it was)
The only small victory I had about that - on that same evening, which was a cold, winter's night, it started snowing, and I offered my mate and this guy a lift home - they declined, but new chap slipped over on some ice on his way home and broke his collarbone.
Really good mates now, but he still doesn't "get" that conversation such as that isn't appropriate in all places at all times.

"First dibs when she's 18!" or "Ugh...not interested when she's 18! Anyone else?"
