My Daily Faux Pas: 

While walking back to work at the end of my lunch break I passed a homeless woman. Upon noticing my standard post-lunch smizz, she smiled covetously and shouted "Hey honey, can I have a cigarette?" Now, I hate turning people down but I only had 2 left (earmarked for the drive home) and I was also running late. As a well-seasoned smoker, I quickly returned with, "Sorry, but I bummed this one." Her face immediately contorted to a hideously disdainful scowl. Apparently it is extremely uncouth to use any part of speech derived from the root "bum" when speaking with...well...a bum.
