The group name thread reminded me of this.

I ALWAYS catch myself saying "we" whenever I am refering to myself and events that happen and the like.
Just a few examples: We went, we found out, we thought, etc...

I am refering to myself & the dogs. lol

This confuses so many people. They hear me say that & they are like woah, wait a minute aren't you single & live alone? :p

Does anyone else do this? And do you do it often?

Yes, I do it all of the time. No one ever questions me, everyone knows that we = Ginger and I. ;)

Well people I know well don't question me, they know what my "we" is. lol But people I don't know well are always confused. lol

I do this all the time. I'll call my sister and say "we're coming over". Or I'll tell someone about my weekend and I'll say "we went hiking". Everybody who knows me knows I'm refering to Fenway. I'm sure they thought it was nuts at first, but now they expect it and they don't think twice about it. But people who don't know me very well must be wondering if I got a new boyfriend or something. It's funny.

Even when I make plans to go over someones house, it's assumed I'll take Fenway. We're best friends. Where I go, he goes and vice versa. People have to tell "don't bring Fenway" or I'll just automatically take him with me.

Non-pet people think this is strange. I think it's normal. :D :)

Yes, i often do it. Especially when i'm talking about my school, for some reason! For example, there was a thread a while back to do with wearing jewellry and make-up and your own clothes at school, and i said something like 'we are not allowed to wear any make-up or jewellry at school and have to wear uniform. Our school is pretty strict on that' Strange! I say that naturally though. Only when i read it again do i realise that it's a bit of a strange habit:rolleyes:

Well since I am in high school and I talk about "we" people think I am crazy because they know I am talking about my dogs and me. But pet lovers are crazy :p
