    Being a human of unusual height, I've heard all of these far too often...

    You're a tall drink of water!
    How's the weather up there?
    Are your parents tall?
    Do you play basketball?
    I bet you have to duck your head a lot!
    ... and general references to Jack & the Beanstalk, Paul Bunyan, the Jolly Green Giant, etc.

    what, you've been lying to me up to this point?!?!?
    when a politician starts with "the fact of the matter is".................you know you're about to be lied to.

    how many shows must a man puke at, before he is known as a puker?
    the answer, my friend, is in the Boston 2 puke thread

    How annoying! I get comments too, being a female and 5ft 11, but none so dumb!

    And what the frig do they think you're going to say when they ask if your parents are tall? "No, actually they're midgets" :?

    "Well i'll go to the foot of our stairs"

    "As near as bugger is to swearing"

    "I haven't got enough to cobble dogs with"

    "aye, 'appen."

    "Don't talk wet!"

    "Laugh? I nearly bought my own beer!"

  • Why do people keep saying "At the end of the day...." What, just before midnight? Is that when you mean?

    Why do restaurants put things like "served with fresh cream" on the menu. Oh, you don't serve the cream putridly sour then, no?

    When people stop you in the street and say "I'm sorry to bother you...". No you aren't else you wouldn't have done it in the first place.

    When people go out and say "I'll be back in a second." Ummm, I reckon you'll be gone longer.

    The phone rings. "Now, who can that be?" HOW THE FUCK DO I KNOW!!?

    Someone I know looks at my t-shirt. "Oh, you like Pearl Jam?" No, I fucking depise them, that's why I have a t-shirt with their name on.

    "Could I ask you a question?" I think you just did.

    "Oh, are you still here?". No this is, in fact, a hologram. I left 10 minutes ago.

    Why do people insist on saying things like "Guess where I'm going next week?" or "Guess who I was talking to yesterday?". The next time someone does that, start naming as many random people/places/whatever as you can think of and watch how pissed off they get. By the time they get to telling you, the gloating factor has all but disappeared.
    It's gonna be a glorious day...

    This made me laugh so much! :lol:

    The last one especially because whenever someone says "guess what... etc etc" to me, I always answer with something completely random like 'Al Gore?', 'Seven?' or 'Bangkok?'. My boyfriend's favourite response is 'cheese?' :lol: Most people not only lose the gloating aspect, they also loose their chain of thought and completely forget what they were saying!

    "Could I ask you a question?" I think you just did.

    hahahaha....have to admit I am guilty of that response! Those damned people trying to sell me friggin make up, and hair straighteners/curlers and hand/nail products from those little kiosk type stands they put in the middle of the walkways in the shopping centre...they constantly use that line (I think it's one the pre-programmed english lines they have installed in order to get the job!)....and I always respond with, "Yep, you just did!!"

    I don't hate this saying but this is one my mom always said when it was raining and the sun is out. She says, "The Devil's beating his wife."

    I hate it when someone says "Again..." and then says something. There's a sports radio host here who says this all the time! He will say it at the beginning of his show before he has said anything else so how can he be saying something again?

    Here's a phrase norm will like, "It's created by man we can solve it by man."

    "Its all good". Not its not. Famine in Somalia is not good, nor are plane crashes, or the fact that my dad died.
