A similar incident happened to me. While working at a convenience store, I was selling cigarettes to a dwarf. I don't normally ask customers whether they would like the regular length or the longer variety of cigarettes, but I found my self asking, "Do you want the short?" By the time that I realized I had accidentally emphasized the word "short", it was too late.
I had a pissed off midget on my hands.
