Heh, Ashley. I am with you on those.
Every time my MIL brings up one of mine or Troys tattoos or piercings she rants about how she is going to go get a tattoo on her boob and show it off to everyone. :rolleyes: I'm always saying, "Yeah, good luck with that."
Uh oh, guilty! :oQuote:

Heehee that reminds me, at Panera Bread, if you get a bagel, they always ask, "Would you like that sliced?" I always say no, but for some reason that is an unacceptable answer, because they always forget. It usually takes a few more repititions of "Did you say that you wanted that sliced?" for them to get it :DQuote:

PM me if you want a whole list....sorry I have no creative ones myself.
OH - was doing a transcription my boss left on a tape - he was in a hurry, and out came this gem: "I hope you understand that my professional reputation and my heart are in this thing with both feet."
I didn't edit it - I printed it out and HIGHLIGHTED it! :D
Oh man those two were funny!! LOLQuote:

He says "No...you aren't that young!
What the heck was that supposed to mean??? (And for the record, he is 2 years older then me!)
Of course, it was late in the day and I was in a hurry to get off the phone and go home, so it didn't hit what he said until I hung up. I emailed right away and asked what he meant by that...his reply? "You heard me"
I can't say I called him a very nice name after that :D
LOL! I do that too when my boss dictates something that makes me LOL. I call those "dicto's" :D Sometimes when I'm feeling particularly mischievous, I won't highlight it just to see if he'll catch it.Quote:

Recently when my son left the house I said "drive carefully." Somehow I always feel the need to say that. :rolleyes: He said "Gee, Mom I am glad you said that because I was planning to drive recklessly." :p
My pet peeve is hearing people say that poodles are sissy dogs. :rolleyes:
Anna, for some reason this really cracked me up. :D :D :DQuote:

I also tell my boyfriend to be careful almost every time he leaves on his motorcycle. Like what, he's going to go out and try to crash it? :rolleyes: I dunno what goes through my head.
My mom was out shopping and bought some whipping cream. The clerk goes "Oh, what do you do with Whipping cream?" ....My mom says "...you make whipped cream..." Clerk: "Oooh, how do you do that?" Mom: "...you whip it."
I hate hate HATE it when I tell people I want to start riding a motorcycle and they tell me...
"noo, you shouldn't do that, they're dangerous" Right, like I don't know they're dangerous. Thank you for enlightening me with your superior knowledge.
"Oooh, I knew this guy who knew a guy who [describes horrible motorcycle crash]" EVERYONE knows someone who knows someone who has crashed, I DO NO WANT TO HEAR IT EVERY TIME IT COMES UP IN CONVERSATION! I would bet that everyone also knows someone who knows someone who died in a car accident, but people don't torture others looking at getting their car license like this!
Last one...Frequently, when I'm at the dog park, someone will pet Jasper and go "oooh, he's SO SKINNY!" (No, he is NOT, it's not my fault people can't recognize a dog in good condition) "Do you feed him?" Last time I got that I looked at the lady, totally aghast, and said "OMG, you mean you have to FEED THEM?!" :p It's not my fault her dogs were fat.
